A Fancy Darth Vader suit


Recently I became aware of the ultimate authentic edition Darth Vader costume. When I saw how real it looked that was the beginning of a long chain of events that would eventually lead to me having my own authentic supreme edition studio mold cast Darth Vader outfit. After a long and gruelling month on Ebay and various internet sites, I finally acquired one for $650 including shipping. The suit retails for around $750 and I think it lost about $150 of value once I opened the box. To further analyze and document my insanity I have compiled this list:


Things I could have bought with the money:


*Craftsman 6.75 Torque Rating 21 in. 3-n-1 Deck Rear Bag Push Lawn Mower with High Wheels- 2 1/2 units.

*Smokey Mountain Knife Works Battleaxe with studded wooden handle-30 units.

*Airheads Bars-6000 units.

* Jolly Ranchers-7680 units.

*Plastic sword or bat-600 units.

*Squier Stratocaster Electric guitar-6 units

*Doritos Large size bag-240 units
