Tauntaun sleeping bag
I know this came up here a while back, but the thread seems to have been dumpinated.
ThinkGeek evidently got the go-ahead to manufacture and sell these cool Tauntaun sleeping bags for kids! They had originally them on their site as a joke (April fool?), but got so many requests for them they decided to see if they could be licensed to make and sell them. Guess it worked; unfortunately, however, their initial stock has already run out* (not that I'd be buying one at $99), but it sounds like they'll be getting more. It's the plush lightsaber zipper pull that does it for me. *ETA: Correction: they haven't run out - they just won't be available until November.

Sweet! I was hoping they'd get the OK from Lucasfilms for this!
Good job Thinkgeekers!

It's only worth it if it includes authentic Tauntaun smells..

Mr. Algae wants one. He's trying to act all cool about it, but I know if it showed up at Christmas, he'd squeal like he was 5 years old.

That is about 3 ft. wide by 5' 7" long. Certainly big enough for an adult.

The newer versions of vBulletin transform all caps posts into posts with the first letter of every word capitalized. I know, I know, I like to use caps for effect as well but it prevents admins from going in and editing the posts of 4 year olds whenever they type something.
I would like this as well except that it's too small. Stupid girls and their smaller bodies that fit into tauntauns.

For those who were wondering just how big this truly inspired sleeping bag is, there are more pics on the ThinkGeek site that show the scale with adults:
