Star Wars Inspired Darth Vader Motorcycle, Lightsaber Included

Posted: 23 Dec 2015 03:24 AM PST

Star Wars Themed Motorcycle

The Russian motorcycle manufacturers Ural came up with a limited-edition model inspired by the Star Wars saga which is quite the ideal means of transportation for a Sith Lord, or someone who really loves the popular science-fiction universe.

Since the seventh episode, – The Force Awakens, came out ten years after the last one, this event needed to be properly celebrated and Ural came up with a wonderful idea.  At the price of $15,000, these are quite a great deal, especially when you consider that there are only 25 models made, so it's an amazing collector's dream.

The motorcycle has a 2.9 cubic feet waterproof trunk for your belongings and a sidecar for your travelling companion, either a humanoid, wookie or a droid. The most impressive thing about it comes with a lightsaber ready at your disposal and a special place to hold it. The extendable 3' Lightsaber is mounted to the sidecar and thus within your grasp in just a few seconds.

When it comes to the technical features, the Dark Force motorcycle has a 749cc two cylinder engine that is air-cooled and has an output of 41 horsepower. The gearbox provides four forward gears and a reverse and there are 42 pound-feet of torque. These specifications lead to a top speed of around 70 mph or 113 km/h, more than enough for any urban needs as well as for trips through the countryside.

The chassis has a front IMZ leading link fork suspension and a double sided swing-arm with Sachs hydraulic spring shock absorbers in the rear, while the sidecar features a similar swing arm and all of them are adjustable. The fuel tank has a capacity of 5.0 gallons with an estimated fuel economy of 31-37 mpg at the cruising speed of 70 mph.

IMZ-Ural was founded in 1941 and since 1998 they aren't a state company anymore, so they adapted to the market with original ideas such as the 2013 Gaucho Rambler which was also a limited edition built for long roads and with a retro design that they described as a "wistful homage to a past age". The Dark Force continues their legacy with a motorcycle that Darth Vader himself would take pride in.

They offer several upgrades included such as the high visibility LED headlight, the black ceramic coated exhaust and black engine as well as the enduro bench seat that allows a third passenger to have room on the motorcycle. The warranty you get is for two years with unlimited mileage but if you have some experience with Russian motorcycles you probably know that they are sturdy and last a long time.

The price excludes taxes, license, registration, delivery, set-up and other options which you might want. Since the edition is so limited you will have to reserve yours in advance to have a chance of actually owning one and you can do this here. Even if you aren't the biggest Star Wars fan it is still a really great motorcycle, but with so few available everyone will admire you if you manage to join the dark side.

Expand Storage of iOS Devices with iSafe Drive Lite

Posted: 22 Dec 2015 12:48 PM PST

iSafe Drive Lite 01

In a world where mobile storage is never too large, nor safe enough, iSafe Drive Lite, the world’s first ever MFi-certified storage drive for iOS devices, means to bring a change.

Developed by Savvi Solutions and licensed by Apple Inc.’s MFi Program (Made for iPhone), the iSafe Drive Lite is an inexpensive way of carrying more data with you, while also making sure that it’s safe. To be frank, not everyone can afford getting the iOS devices with the largest storage from the very beginning, and it’s way more affordable to look into other ways of expanding the storage. iSafe Drive Lite has a storage capacity of 32GB, and employs the same type of encryption used by the US federal government, so you don’t have to worry about the safety of your sensitive information.

Obviously, the iSafe Drive Lite can be used for much more than storing important documents. On-the-Go storage has become very popular nowadays, mainly because of its lower price in relation to built-in storage. People are now carrying photos, music and even movies on these drives, and have access to all these types of media at all times, while also making sure that their smartphone has plenty of internal storage for large apps.

The iSafe Drive Lite is the ideal way of transferring files between computers and iOS devices. On one end, the storage drive features a USB Type-A connector (which, between you and me, also makes it work as an OTG drive for Android smartphones, assuming that you have an adapter), and at other end it sports an Apple Lightning connector that can be used for connecting the drive to all sorts of iOS devices, not just the iPhone.

Storing data in the cloud may seem like the way to go nowadays, and while many cloud services claim to protect your data’s safety, you do require Internet access to get to it. The iSafe Drive Lite comes with AES 256-bit encryption and keeps all of your data at hand.

We’re talking about a mobile drive here, so the dimensions (0.35″H x 1.3″W x 2.6″L) and the weight (0.02oz) really shouldn’t surprise anyone. The drive itself is made out of durable and environmentaly-friendly recyclable aluminum with a brushed aluminum finish, and ABS plastic for the switch.

To get the iSafe Drive Lite MFI-certified storage drive for iOS device, head over to our store, Walyou Deals, where you can find it for $69 (24% off the original price of $91). You’ll definitely find this drive useful if the internal storage of iOS devices never seems enough for you, and if you need to make sure that your mobile storage is safe at all times. The item is shipped for free to continental US and Canada, and deliveries are expected to take place between January 5 and 8. Take advantage of this offer while it lasts, as after December 28 it will only be available for the full retail price.

Posted: 22 Dec 2015 11:21 AM PST

Christmas Action Figures PlaySkool Heroes Star Wars

Christmas is coming and getting gifts for the geeks in your life can be complicated. Luckily, you can never go wrong with a few cool action figures.Christmas is the one time of the year when we get to ask and give things to the members of our family that they really like, but sometimes it can be hard landing the right present. The Walyou team is aware of that, so we have compiled some of the best action figures you can purchase right now, which are some amazing geeky toys for people of all ages. From action figures for grown ups to gifts for kids, here are some ideas so you can have an easier holiday season.

Playskool Heroes Star Wars Millennium Falcon and Figurines

 

With the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, now is the perfect time to get back into Star Wars collectibles. Out of the many, many official sets, our favorite right now has to be the Playskool Heroes Star Wars Millennium Falcon and Figurines, which includes the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo and Chewbacca figurines along with it. Furthermore, it comes with an R2-D2 figure, sensor dish, cannon, ladder, and label sheet so kids can pretend to be the most charismatic smuggler in the galaxy and adults can expose it anywhere they want.

Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends Transforming Batcave

One of the big characters making a return this year is Batman, one of the main stars in the upcoming film Batman V Superman. This is a Fisher-Price Imaginext DC Super Friends Transforming Batcave for the young ones who are as excited as we are about the caped crusader’s return, and it includes a transforming bat-cave, and Batman and Joker figurines to play in it. It’s currently on sale at $44.99 which saves you $15 USD from the retail price, so this is a great option.

 

Minecraft Core Player Survival Pack Action Figure

Minecraft has become unbelievably huge, and gamers of all ages and backgrounds love it. That is why the Minecraft Core Player Survival Pack Action Figure has become such a hot item for this holiday season,being the star of one of the biggest games of all times. The best part about it, though, is that you can get this figurine for just under $10 USD, making it the perfect gift for the young ones in the family.

POP Marvel: Deadpool Vinyl Bobble-head Figure

Prediction: if 2015 was the year of Star Wars, 2016 will be the year of Deadpool. With an upcoming movie and all, this POP Marvel: Deadpool Vinyl Bobble-head Figure by Funko is meant to become one of the hottest items throughout the year, and we’re sure it will become a highly sought collectible. Get them while they last, you will thank us afterwards. As of now, this figurine costs just under $12 USD.

Power Rangers Dino Charge – Dino Charge Megazord

While all incarnations of the Power Rangers are special in their own right, we always had some special feelings for the Dino Charge Rangers, our favorite team in recent history, for featuring the Dino Charge Megazord, the coolest mecha they have had so far. The mecha can be disassembled into three separate robots featuring three robots. Still, the point is that all three can combine with other figurines from the series into bigger and bigger mechas.

Toy Story Pull String Woody 16″ Talking Figure – Disney Exclusive

This is an incredibly detailed Toy Story Pull String Woody 16″ Talking Figure, a Disney Exclusive featuring the main star from the Toy Story movie series. It is pretty big at 16″ tall, and when you pull the string, it can say up to 19 different phrases at random. It is on sale right now at $25 USD, half off from its regular $50 USD price, so whether you’re a collector or just think someone would like this present during the holidays, now is the time to get it.

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Link Nendoroid

Although there weren’t any home console Zelda games this year, we always have a special place in our hearts for Link. This The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Link Nendoroid is based off of Toon Link as seen in the beloved Wind Waker and the Super Smash Bros series. You can buy this cute figurine at 28% off from its regular price for a grand total of $35.94 USD, which is not bad at all for such a detailed figurine.

Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader 6″ Figure

The Star Wars Black Series by Hasbro recreates some of the most classic figurines that came out along with the original trilogy. These are figurines that are more meant to be cool and classic rather than cute, and might appeal to older collectors. Out of the entire series, our favorite model is absolutely the Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader 6″ figurine, featuring Anakin Skywalker’s alter ego in its most iconic outfit from the original trilogy. You can buy this figurine for just under $30 USD.

Minecraft Diamond Steve Action Figure

We already talked about how much Minecraft means to gamers all around the world, so that is why we also wanted to recommend a second version of the main playable character Steve. The Minecraft Diamond Steve Action Figure features a 2.75″ articulated Steve in Diamond armor, the most durable set from the game, which comes with a removable helmet, diamond block and a sword that fits in his hand. It is on sale right now, and you can get it for $7.19 (40% off).

Funko POP! Marvel: Dancing Groot Bobble Action Figure

The Funko POP! Marvel: Dancing Groot Bobble Action Figure is the most sought-out Bobblehead figurine right now, and we can’t blame the collectors for this. Groot already stole everyone’s heart in Guardians of the Galaxy and this figurine cranks the cuteness to 11. While you can potentially get the entire cast from the movie for less than $30 USD, we wanted to point this figurine out at $6.99 USD – at this price, it’s a crime to not get it.
