THE PAST IS NOW!

$600 for a toy? I've been known to waste money at times, but even I wouldn't spend money on something like that. I mean, seriously, what's the point? Why would somebody buy something like this?

Especially since it's a neon tube.

If ever I buy a "lightsaber" I'd rather just get the metal piece.

It would totally confuse neighbours, it acctually draws out and swooshes, on top of the glowing. It comes in a cool ninja sword-ish protective case too.

If someone was willing to pay $15 000 for a tickle-me-elmo, it makes perfect sense to just pay 600 for something you can strap to your belt and scare people with.

Same reason why someone would pay $269 for this.


I wouldn't want to spend money on that, but it sounds like it would be a lot of fun to build. Kind of like those 3D puzzles, but not so flimsy.

First of all, spending anything beyond the retail price for something like a Tickle-Me-Elmo is just crazy. And I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying around something that expensive, especially when it could break so easily. I mean, if you fall or something, especially on it, that glass tube isn't gonna hold that well.

$600? That seems a bit steep. I don't think I'd ever pay that for a toy (unless it was a NeoGeo w/games). Then again, I'd probably never buy a lightsaber.

Heh, but my boss did just pay $20,000 for a collection of HotWheel cars.

I mean, come on....600 dolars US and it's made of glass...that's just stupid. if i ever saw some guy with this, i'd go out and buy a semi-authentic katana for half the price and slice this shit in half. I mean, maybe it'd be worth it if:

-You were the king of a small country of nerds.
-You had tons of money to throw away at random.
-It wasn't made of glass.
-It was a real lightsabre (of course you'd buy it then!)
-It could take you back in time.
-It came with a bunch of Mail-Order Zombies
-It came with a free burrito.
-Buying it came with a special course on how to cut stuff in half with it.
-It guarrenteed you world domination.
-It was neurologically linked to you to do your bidding.
-It came with your choice of topping.
-It could buy you love.
-You got to try it out on the celebrity of your choice.
-It was one-of-a-kind.
-It was made a long time ago; in a galaxy far, far away.
-It granted you three wishes.
-...including wishing for wishes.
-The balance of the universe rested with it.
-It came in green.
-The handle was a bong.
-You could take it to raves.
-You couldn't screw up and cut your own arm off with it.
-It came with "The Force" brand performance enhancers.
-You could jack deer with it.
-It secreted a pheromone which would draw beautiful women towards you.
-It included a neat cloak!
-It could be used to attack planes.
-God himself got killed by it at one point.
-It taught you sign language.
-It blew bubbles.
-A button on the handle could be pushed to activate "Jesus Mode."
-It played MP3s.
-It was it's own country.
-You could spread mustard with it.
-You got points for the cool stuff you did with it; the points could be exchanged for free movie rentals
-It granted immortality.
-It let you fall 50 feet without breaking a bone, just like in the movies!
-You could fit it in your pocket.
-It was delivered with a smile.

Yeah, a steel sword is cheaper, scarier and cooler.
