The Ultimate Thing EVER - Oh and I dare you to debunk this!

Original Darth Vader costume up for sale in London

The Force can be with you - for a price.

Christie's auction house says it is selling an original Darth Vader costume from the "Star Wars" movie franchise.

The jet-black helmet, mask and armor worn by the intergalactic villain are expected to sell for between 160,000 pounds and 230,000 pounds ($250,000 and $365,000) at a sale of pop culture memorabilia next month.

Christie's said Wednesday that the costume is thought to have been made for "The Empire Strikes Back," the second film in George Lucas's sci-fi series, released in 1980.

OK ATS... The grail of geekdom is up for sale! Who here would be willing to sell family members, houses, cars, and pets to get their hands on this thing?

I am near tears just thinking about the geeky goodness and the in character force choking I could be doing.

~Heff

Billymeierprophet:

The debunk is kind of tongue in cheek, as in this is the coolest thing ever, prove it isn't! In "off-topic" we get a little levity for fun and conversational topics that wouldn't fly on the main board.

Still, all in all, owning the suit would be cool, don't you think?

~Heff

I would screw almost anyone wearing that suit.

It makes me horny just looking at it.

If I had this I would walk down town wearing it with "DUN DUN DUN DUN DU DUUUUN DU DU DUUUUN"

Wait let me get you a video to show you what I mean, Hold up.

If I had a voice like James Earl Jones, I might just be interested.

As it is, saying "the force is strong in that one eh?", just doesn't cut it...

If I wore this.. I'd rob the FED.
I mean take back my 401.

This is what I'd be like lol.


Excuse the randomness and craziness, I didn't sleep last night due to mass ATS'in D:

Edit to add - WOW I'm really crap at beatboxing lol!

Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome! By far and away the best reply to any of my threads, ever! Thank you so much for doing that!

Haha no problem mate, got a random urge to beatbox the imperial march after seeing your thread

Name me some other songs and I'll do a mix for ya lol

Heff we have already discussed this, it's mine. I have a bid in. I worked a little charm with the right wallets

You can come visit it anytime.

This would be so cool to have, but only cool to nerds and Star Wars fans lol They have replicas you can buy of all main characters that talk and some move. They are from FAO Schwartz and cost about 5k to start. I would so build a museum/park around Star Wars if I could. George Lucas is stinking rich and he could be even richer if he opened a theme park. WHO wouldn't check that out!! lol









btw my bday is next month.........perfect gift

Well in that case, maybe we can weasel a deal to get the Boba Fett costume too? Then we could be the coolest two kids in the club!

And you'd look great dressed as Boba Fett!

~Heff

*side note, I now am torn... staring at the suit or watching Techs uber cool vid... my OCD is overpowered!*

I would seriously consider doing a lot of things in order to get this.

And a stormtrooper one as well, for Sundays.

Just don't know if I'd ever take it off, and in there lies the problem.

Shotgun the Wookie outfit

Then us three can walk down the street whilst I beat box the soundtrack from the empire strikes back. You two can dance

Take if off???

If I persuade Mblah to let me wear it my plan is to weld it onto myself!
