This superb PEZ USB drive with a C-3PO head looks like something out of an actual Star Wars movie. This is a modified USB Drive put into a PEZ dispenser and fitted with ultra cool LED lights for the eyes. If you want to build you own the full instructions are over at Instructables.

I am trying to find these on the streets of London but I have had no luck so far. They are by James Cauty and I am sure they will get people talking as this Mickey Mouse as you have never seen before. [via art of the state]

It never occurred to me that calculators can look cool and double up as a neat toy. That is why I love this Hog Wild Robot Calculator which has that retro robot styling you just have to adore. [via Weirdzilla]

Want to know what Ryu and Chun-li get up to in their spare time? Look no further because we have proof that they are both Salsa enthusiasts and regularly enter competitions together.

One of the best retro toy themed birthday cakes I have come across. Operation was a game for only the steady handed children but the same will not apply to the cake. See all the cakes made by The Cake Fairy here.

These life size pieces of work are created entirely out of driftwood by Heather Jansch and they look like some kind of mutant animals from Resident Evil. “Driftwood is wood that has been washed onto a shore or beach of a sea or river by the action of winds, tides, waves or man.” (via wikipedia. ). You can see the full collection of driftwood works at the Heather Jansch’s website.

Jeremiah P has created these stickers by actually using a Windows Vista error message which strangely reads “Error. The Operation Completed Successfully.”. Could these error message box stickers be the new form of “Hello My Name Is…” stickers to be spread over the world’s streets? [via Wonderland]

I officially started Urban Retro Lifestyle one year ago today and I am extremely pleased that we have made it to our 1st Birthday. It has been a bumpy road but boy has it been fun. I have had the opportunity to meet and communicate with so many great people, websites and blogs. As a little thank you gift to everyone that reads Urban Retro Lifestyle and all the websites that have sent people our way we thought we would offer everyone a free Speakerdog Paper Toy designed exclusively for Urban Retro Lifestyle’s 1st birthday by Ben The Illustrator (An awesome artist and a great guy). You have the choice of 2 Speakerdogs, the Urban Speakerdog or the Retro Speakerdog, but we suggest you make both as they look better side by side. If you have never made a paper toy before then make sure these are your first.

Anyone that makes one of these toys and sends us a picture for us to put up on our flickr gallery will receive a £5 OFF coupon to spend in the Urban Retro store. Sends your snaps to info@urbanretrolifestyle.com (terms and conditions apply)
