On July 2nd, 2019, ThinkGeek.com will be moving in with their parent company GameStop where only a curated selection of unique items historically found on ThinkGeek.com will be available via a ThinkGeek section at GameStop. Since they are shutting down, they're liquidating their inventory.

NASA duffel bag and 8bit Horror Funko Pops are out of stock, unfortunately.
It looks like we are unable to ship to your selected shipping address. Please confirm that you've entered the address correctly or try another one.
Same issue here.
Me too.
me too
some items have always been US restricted for licensing reasons or some bs. if you go to checkout it will tell you at the bottom which ones. also on the product pages under the buy button it says 'shipping restrictions' in tiny writing.
The shipping is quite high, and the high US dollar doesn't help it, either. Some interesting products but even 50% off isn't all that competitive vs EB Games/Zing Pop Culture. The best deals might be for the various Bags of Holding.
Kinda sad to see it go even though it's always been so pricey to get shipped down bere
Agree, these guys have been around since before Slashdot went mad. Back in the day what they sold was really unique and different. Always wanted a "got root?" t-shirt.
I've got a few t-shirts of theirs, pretty low quality, cheap fit, so I've not been eager to buy more.
You can print cups and so on pretty easily these days through Snapfish, etc.
A lot of items listed are out of stock
It's almost like they're clearing stock before they move sites.
Pretty much everything anyone would want is out of stock.
This is a pretty piss poor deal. I'll retract my statement if 10 people actually manage to purchase the things they want.
i got something i've wanted for ages, and something i found.
what did you get?
i got (that i'd wanted for ages) a chewbacca backpack buddie with porg friend (they only have lonely chewbaccas in australian shops)

and….
What did you find :O
…and i need some earmuffs and i found these bread ones to keep my ears toasty
https://www.thinkgeek.com/product/kkum/@bargain huntress: Those are awesome.
@Sammy Boi: thank you. sorry to see they are out of stock now
@bargain huntress: I clicked on the link just before commenting and noticed :( was gonna get them for my penguin friend
@Sammy Boi: here ya go: https://www.amazon.com.au/Hashtag-Collectibles-Sliced-Bread-…
only a few dollars more all together.
who is your penguin friend? (wondering if is an actual penguin?)
@bargain huntress: oh slightly cheaper here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sliced-Bread-Plush-Earmuffs/2638…
@bargain huntress: cheapest on actual site?: https://www.mightyape.com.au/product/sliced-bread-plush-earm…
@bargain huntress: You beat me to it. I noticed the eBay store was mighty ape and was about to check the site thanks
@bargain huntress: Just this penguin that sits on top of my computer, those bread muffs would fit him perfect though,
@Sammy Boi: well he sounds cute
Just blew a $350 hole in the wallet because I stupidly handed the computer to the wife and said "do you want anything?"
Postage has always been high but you spend enough it becomes worth it once you get economies to scale or if you buy larger items. A few years ago I bought some star wars stools from them and the postage was only $60 or something.
star wars stools… one of Chewies??! 🤣
yeah big stuff on sale has always been amazing for some reason. i got a borg cube rug a couple years ago.
can you tell us what you got? i wanted literally $1500 worth but i was sensible and just got two things. but i can always live vicariously through others
Kingdom Hearts Mickey and Donald statue
Wonder Woman Justice League Wallet
Mario Pipe toothbrush holder
Mario Pipe soap dish
Mario Pipe soap dispenser
Unicorn Sconce Wall Light
My Hero Academia TShirt
Kingdom Hearts wallet
Attack on Titan Scout Regiment wallet
Harry Potter Mini Bell Jar Lights - Harry, Hermoene and Ron versions
Wonder Woman jewellery set
Harry Potter Sherpa HoodieOf that the only thing I got was the Mario bathroom stuff. The rest was the wife. Why she needs a bunch of wallets is a mystery to me. She's clearly hiding money from me.
ooooo thanks for sharing
LOL. does she use them as purses? - then obviously she would need many. ;)
i'm thinking of getting a Hagrid bell jar elsewhere…
@bargain huntress: I'm not telling her there's a hagrid. Those hideous things are now sitting on my mantle
@SirFlibbled: hahahahaha
there's also dumbledore, hedwig, luna, voldemort, and a snitch. so enough to FILL the mantle if she ever googles it.
What a shame. I always enjoyed browsing the ThinkGeek website, even if I only paid for international shipping a couple of times
Ditto. Their listing copies are hilarious. Another fine web site disappearing
why does it happen?
End of an era.
Postage was always a killer though. In saying that, I bought a unicorn mug a few years back which arrived broken and they sent a new one out free of charge.
They're just moving to Gamestop.. Are they still going to be called ThinkGeek?
are they though? it says a 'curated selection' will be at gamestop…
what does that mean?
i'm betting it's cutesy speak for "much smaller range."
sounds a bit like that :/
Code can't be applied?? Can't work out why
Edit: Found out why. It defaults to free ship on mobile site. Free ship is incompatible with the code. Also some items can't be shipped outside US, but you can't determine this or turn off free shipping whilst there are such items in your cart.
That stinks, I wanted the chain chomp lamp.
if you scroll to the bottom of the checkout page it tells you, at least on desktop
Yes i had to use desktop to trouble shoot. Originally i was on mobile
I'm a bit devastated.
I thought gamestop was going under lol
