Gift for Watch aficianados...or shameless marketing?!



part of me hopes this is just a joke, but i don't put it past Disney to have gone to this length to use the Star Wars licensing to this extent...

oh, and wait till you see the price for this...

It's real - and the price doesn't surprise me
Watches are one of the last things people seem to buy BECAUSE they are expensive

Meh Disney ****** out its licensing like $5 hooker on Hollywood Boulevard. After all, their business model is to exploit childhood and build life-long brand loyal sentimental consumers. Nothing is off limits to them. You should have seen the Star Wars branded crap Wla-Mart has/had all over the store leading up to the movie release. Too bad they didn't have Disney toilet paper, so I could have wiped my *** with them.

If I had money to burn I would...just so I could shoot it with a .50 and finish the job with C4.

The sad part, it will probably become a huge collectible and appreciate in value for people that can actually afford it.

I don't believe you. I think you'll be truly impressed and want to sleep with it.
