A Star Wars Fan Has Spent An OBSCENE Amount Of Cash On A Stormtrooper Helmet
Thought the 'Star Wars' hype machine couldn't reach a higher levelof crazy?
WRONG.
One mega-fan has taken his obsession to a whole new level.
According to Yahoo, a Stormtrooper helmet from'The Empire Strikes Back' hasfetched an eye-watering £78,000 at auction.
£78,000.
That's, like... well, it's a LOT of money.
The sought-after piece (a MK II design) came from a super rare,privately-owned collection of trooper helmets that appeared in the movie. Admittedly it's seen better days - well, what else would you expect from a prop that's over 35 years old?! - with some cracks and discolouration, but that didn't stop someone from shelling out almost £100,000 for the plastic prop.
Other things people spent a ridiculous amount of money on included a blaster gun, which went for a jaw-dropping£23,000.
Is it just us, or is this minted buyer a teeny bitinsane?
