Need ideas!

[lya]

H and I went to Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade at Universal Studios recently (totally awesome!).  We each bought a wand while we were there.  Once we got back we were trying to think of what to do with them and came up with an idea to make a display case and put the wands, maybe a Doctor Who screwdriver (from the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff), and maybe Star Wars light sabers (if Disney ever builds a park).   

We can't think of anything else that fits this category - any ideas?  Bonus if there is a park type thing that we could visit, but any handheld item in general would work.

There already is a build-your-own-lightsaber thing at a Disney park, isn't there? I'm not a big LOTR fan, but doesn't Bilbo have a specific knife (Sting, or something?). I suspect there are also Game of Thrones replica knives or weapons. What other fandoms are you in, maybe that'll give us ideas.

In other news, we just started reading the first Harry Potter book to DS last night. :-)

ETA:

Downtown Disney Build Your Own LIGHTSABER

Thanks for the lightsaber info!

Also, I love the LOTR idea

As for additional fandoms, let's see: Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, Doctor Who, LOTR, Harry Potter, Buffy, Firefly

That's what comes to mind off the top of my head and is in no way an exhaustive list .  Superhero fandoms aren't really our thing, we are more focused on Sci-Fi/Fantasy type stuff.

Wooden stake for Buffy?

You only missed Supernatural and Sherlock from the majors, methinks

There's gotta be a phaser or scanner for Star Trek, right?  I don't watch Stargate. 
Star Trek phaser from Think Geek ($40):

Star Trek insignia pin (there's a few of these, including the communicator from ST:Voyager if you wanted to represent different series.  Here's the TOS insignia pin:

For Doctor Who, in addition to the sonic screwdriver the Master's pocketwatch is cool looking and not too expensive:

I know they make Browncoat patches from Firefly, and there's that metal insignia thing:

Actually, if you want to stick with the weapons theme, they do make a Malcolm Reynolds replica pistol.

These dog tags are cool too if you want to mix it up:



Damn, Think Geek is dangerous!

Thanks so much dr.girlfriend and everyone! I'm loving the idea of Buffy's stake and Mal's pistol.

And I think I need the Master's pocketwatch in my life...

Looks like Think Geek has Sting too, but it's out of stock.  :-)
