ThinkGeek, the geniuses who originally thought up the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag as an April Fool, are offering one of the first honest-to-goodness sleeping bags to the winner of their Pumpkin Carving Template contest, which really is as simple as it sounds:

You design a geeky pumpkin template (PDF, Flickr upload, JPEG on your blog, scan embedded in Google doc, whatever) designed to be printed out onto 8.5x11" piece of paper. We only want your template, not something you bought from a site. Or stole from a child. That's rude.

As if the idea of people downloading your personal pumpkin carving ideas isn't cool enough, the addition of a carrot in the shape of being able to sleep inside a Tauntaun makes entering a necessity. Go here for your chance to enter.

The advertising copy for the communicator - cheap at just $29.99! - even underlines the missed opportunity:

Now you too can talk to the Enterprise no matter where you are. Just flip up the grill, and you'll be greeted with the lights and sounds you've come to know and love. But not content with mere beeps, the UFP has packed this replica with voice clips from the actual series. Delight as you hear Mr. Spock ask you if you want an armed party beamed down and thrill as you call the Enterprise and hear Bridge here, Captain. So equip yourself with the Communicator that futuristically prognosticated the invention of the cell phone, and get ready for a communication . . . from the stars.
