Shane Peterman, PR rep for ThinkGeek, shared the news:
We are definitely trying to make it in to an actual item to be sold ?on our site. As of right now, it's still an "if," but it's turning in?to more of a "when." Things are looking pretty good, we just don't want ?to get too far ahead of ourselves. There's certainly been enough of a?demand, both from customers and from those of us that work here. Right now, we're aiming to have it available ?for the holidays, or at the latest, the 30th anniversary of The Empire ?Strikes Back next spring.
Don't you want a sleeping bag that "simulates the warmth of a Tauntaun carcass"? Of course you do!

Not all geeks are obese. Some of them are really skinny, underdeveloped geeks. ;)
]]>Me too!
]]>Though, I think hubster may regret my purchase after too many renditions of "Under da Sea" and the Spongebob theme song. *coff* He puts up with a lot.
]]>they should rate the bag for sub-zero temps!
*rimshot*
There's a flickr set of the actual construction: [www.flickr.com]
]]>I would completely and totally love new Under-oos! That said, I have been on the notification list for the sleeping bag since ThinkGeek put it up, and I am also looking for sheets for our bed that don't bore me to tears or feature something pink and cutesy (although I would totally buy Strawberry Shortcake sheets if I could find them just to torture my husband... at least the once before he burned them...).
]]>I will occasionally buy hubby some incredibly geeky boxers. This Christmas I plan on tracking down some that had a latin embroidery of a quote from St. Augustine... Yeah, that's how it is.
I would also love, LOVE to have cool sheets. Plaid is about as wild as it gets. Floral makes me want to retch. I'd kill for some Spiderman or LOTRs sheets.
]]>@utensil42: I mostly want them in adult sizes, because then girls can wear them!
]]>Get a set for the whole family and be the envy of all the other campers.
]]>@hydrargyrum: I'm beside myself with nerdy excitement now!
WOOT!
]]>Trying to imagine how much Lucasfilm or LucasArts or whatever will charge to license this.
]]>@meechybee: I was completely on board with that idea. It would go well with the bacon salt I got from a woot-off.
]]>(all set to ensure there will never be a miniSteveDave, that is)
]]>But I'm in for one, for the future Little SteveDave. Just have to make sure the ladies don't see it so there will be one.
And on another vein, I hope other companies take note of this. Why? I own a king size bed. I don't like "plain" sheets. I would but Star Wars sheets for my bed. For that matter, I would buy Under-roos as well. Maybe it's the leak in the exhaust vent for my fireplace, or maybe it's nostalgia, I don't know. But I would wear under-roos if they made em.
]]>yay adult sized!
]]>Oh wait... That's the point.
]]>There's adult sizes!
]]>I just hope they don't smell any worse on the inside...
