    I’m honestly surprised they haven’t merged with Hot Topic.

      They did buy out ThinkGeek, so… very close.

        😭 🥀 God I wish I had gotten more of those novelty homewares while I still could. I’m an adult, I accept I need a laundry basket… but nobody else would’ve sold me a collapsible radioactive waste barrel.

        I enjoyed the ‘bloody handprint’ shower curtain, but by the time I had enough money to get such items as yhr matching bloody-footprint bathmat with intention, ThG was gone for good.

          ThinkGeek used to be so awesome man. I really wish I had held onto more of that stuff.

            they did briefly in the late-2010’s. They only sold the most kitschy mass-produced items.

        GameStop beat out Hot Topic in bidding for ThinkGreek, with a winning bid of $20/share compared to Hot Topic’s bid of $17.50
