OK, I admit it. I am a Star Wars fan. I’ve got a first edition Darth Vader mug, an authentic and rare Star Wars Trilogy button, an assortment of various fast food giveaways, seen each episode a billzion times and of course, Star Wars comics and such.
But this item put up recently on eBay has got to be the most expensive piece of Star Wars collectable merchandise that I’ve ever seen–a Darth Vader edition Wii that the crook, oh sorry, eBay seller is trying to swindle, oh sorry again, sell for $15,000.
He claims that the item was only one of four manufactured to promote Lucas Arts’ "Unleash the Force" game. This alone should tip off anyone that this guy isn’t too knowledgeable because the proper title is "The Force Unleashed."
I think anyone with a little artistic talent could go out and buy a $10 can of spray paint and use a stencil to a create similar, if not better effect. You also get in this rip-off, oh sorry, bundle:
