ThinkGeek (“Stuff for Smart Masses”) sends out periodic newsletters featuring new products. Every year on April 1 they also send out a similar newsletter featuring fake products…which are juuuust plausible enough to seem realistic. Last year one of their hoax products was the 8-bit tie, a necktie that looked like it was rendered in a low-res video game. A ridiculous number of people tried to order the thing, and demand was so great that ThinkGeek actually produced a real version for sale.

This year they featured a TaunTaun sleeping bag, and fanboys the world over went, “…Want.” So they’ve just posted this on their site:

Due to an overwhelming tsunami of requests from YOU THE PEOPLE, we have decided to TRY and bring this to life. We have no clue if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant little ThinkGeek a license, nor do we know how much it would ultimately retail for. But if you are interested in ever owning one of these, click the link below and we’ll try!

The link for signup is here. Maybe if we all concentrate together, Lucas will hear millions of voices suddenly crying out and relent on the licensing thing.
