I’ve seen similar full scale models at Mohegan Sun Casino being sold for a few thousand dollars — so when you think about it $679 is not that much money….at least that’s what you tell your wife when she asks about the charge on your credit card.

    Ok, I am a geek, and right now at our local Museum of the Rockies we have an original vader costume from the movies (along with many other cool costumes). If I had a couple of extra “economic stimulus checks” laying around I would get this and be Vader for Halloween every year from now until the end.

    One word.

    I’m pretty sure that Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncaville has a lifelike model that looks like this that sells for about $5k.
