<\/div>

Of course, there’s one thing that Disney knows quite a bit about: overcharging customers. Here’s a batch of toys and collectibles that you should absolutely avoid, unless you like using stacks of one hundred dollar bills for blaster\u00a0practice.<\/p>\n

$28,500\u00a0Imperial Star Wars\u00a0Watch<\/h3>\n

\"devon-works-star-wars-watch\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Designed to combine elements from Darth Vader’s helmet and gloves as well as a\u00a0TIE Fighter and the Imperial crest, this horrifically overpriced\u00a0wristwatch<\/a> requires a $2,500 down payment just for the privilege of paying another $26,000 on delivery. But hey, they are throwing in some\u00a0TIE Fighter cufflinks with a watch that costs more than some\u00a0midsize sedans.<\/p>\n

$4,500 to $6,500 LEGO 1st Edition\u00a0Millennium Falcon<\/h3>\n

\"LEGO-Millennium-Falcon-original\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Regularly selling on eBay<\/a>\u00a0(or Amazon<\/a>) for several thousand dollars, the original LEGO\u00a0Millennium Falcon sports more than 5,000 parts with sections such as a\u00a0rotating radar dish, extending\u00a0boarding ramp and\u00a0detachable cockpit with all the original trilogy mini-figures. While the new version<\/a> is a far less complicated build, it’s also about 3% the current\u00a0cost of the original version.<\/p>\n

$4,000\u00a0Millennium Falcon Star Wars Bed<\/h3>\n

\"star-wars-bed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This insanely priced twin bed<\/a>\u00a0at Pottery Barn is crafted out of hardwood and includes a faux control panel with all the\u00a0knobs and gauges on the\u00a0Millennium Falcon. We recommend saving your money and use Instructables to build you own Star Wars bed. Perhaps the\u00a0AT-AT Imperial Walker Loft Bed<\/a> or this Star Wars X-Wing bed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

$1,500 to $2,000 LEGO Star Wars Death Star II<\/h3>\n

\"lego-death-star-blank\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Selling in brand new condition for $1,500 or more on eBay frequently, this highly complex build of more than 3,400 pieces\u00a0ranks up there with the original\u00a0LEGO Star Destroyer in both complexity and cost. Interestingly, the new version<\/a> can be purchased for 25 percent or less than the cost of this model.<\/p>\n

$1,300 Star Wars Stormtrooper Costume<\/h3>\n

\"storm_trooper_costume\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Probably forcing you to wear this for the next 10 to 15 years as a primary Halloween costume to justify the cost,\u00a0the super expensive\u00a0Stormtrooper costume<\/a> includes EVA molded-pieces, a two-piece helmet and a black polyester bodysuit to complete the Imperial ensemble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
