EllipsusD Posted December 13, 2002 $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? 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted December 13, 2002 Especially since it's a neon tube. If ever I buy a "lightsaber" I'd rather just get the metal piece. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted December 13, 2002 Same reason why someone would pay $269 for this. 0 Share this post Link to post
Coopersville Posted December 13, 2002 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. 0 Share this post Link to post

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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted December 13, 2002 $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. 0 Share this post Link to post

Ichor Posted December 13, 2002 If anyone actually buys this Hyper Dimensional Resonator, then I have some lovely beachfront property near the Sea of Tranquility. 0 Share this post Link to post
TheHighestTree Posted December 13, 2002 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
