Halo-themed items are hitting the shelves at a frenzied pace right now. If you need to purchase absolutely anything under the sun, chances are you can find it stamped with a Halo 3 logo on it somewhere. The majority of these items are worth perhaps a cursory glance at best. These “Master Chief Designer USB Flash Drives” deserve a bit more in depth look. Why, you ask? Because they are freakin’ adorable.
Look at them. Are they not the most darling little Master Chiefs you have ever seen?! They remind me of the old school Coneheads skit on Saturday Night Live. Either these Master Chiefs are Coneheads or they are geniuses because they have the biggest brains ever. Either way, they are ridiculously cute.
Apparently they are rather practical as well. From mimoco :

That makes me think about Lego men, which makes me think Lego needs to make a Halo set…

As much as I love Halo, I think I’d be better off using the money for one of these flash drives to buy one with a larger capacity…
Sorry Master Chief… I’ve let your merchandizeyness down. = (
