Star Wars Weekends – The Stuff I Didn’t Buy
Since I’m still dragging my feet on taking pictures of my sweet, sweet merchandise from Saturday’s day at Star Wars Weekends (shut up, I’m tired and busy), I thought I’d show you some of the stuff that I DIDN’T buy. Why? Because I can steal these pictures off the internet a lot easier and faster than booting up my shitbag phone, taking a picture, and threatening it into downloading onto my computer. Seriously, shitbag phone, but that’s why it was discontinued at the end of 2010. (Die a thousand painful deaths, Motorola Backflip. Shitbag.)
Darth Maul Donald
To be honest, I didn’t even look at the price at the park, but it’s going for $140 online. No thank you. It’s a sweet statue, but I don’t like it that much.
Anything Her Universe
To be fair, I did at least look at the Her Universe stuff… for a child. The demographic of childless 27-year-old Original Trilogy fan is NOT marketed to by that product line. Oh well, I’ll just buy a men’s shirt, cut the neck out, and look fucking adorable.
Custom Droid
I very well might have, if the line wasn’t ridiculously long.
Darth Vader Cupcake
I saw the cupcake in the special Star Wars park map and was like, “Yes, this is food that is going into my mouth.” We saw them in person (they were HUGE). And then I saw the sign in front of the register: “Darth Vader Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes”.
FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK
To those of you who are new, I’m mildly allergic to peanuts. I was almost willing to risk sickness just to have a cupcake, but thought better of it. Later, a friend on Twitter suggested that they might have special ones set aside without the peanuts, but by then I was nomming down on some delicious chocolate mousse that came with an R2D2 beer stein thingy.
More craptacular cell phone pictures to follow...
That cupcake is awesome, but I am not a fan of peanut butter, so I am sad about that. Just gimmie a plain chocolate one and all will be good.
That stien looks like heaven.

Yeah, I should have asked if they had a plain chocolate one.
The stein is fun, but it’s kind of a thin plastic, so I’m being really careful with it.
As soon as I saw this on your homepage I was drawn to it (the force?) – I used to have an r2d2 egg cup as a child, this is around now and I fully expect for this kind of classic memorabilia to be both around and on sale in 10 generations time!

An R2D2 egg cup? Wha? That’s pretty awesome. Fun fact: I’ve never had a soft-boiled egg so I’ve never used an egg cup. But, dammit, Downton Abbey makes me want to try soft-boiled eggs because it looks classy as fuck.
Anyway, I agree that I’m keeping some of this stuff around for my kids and grandkids because maybe it’ll end up on Antiques Roadshow some day and be worth something. And maybe, one day, I’ll actually post pictures of the things I did buy at Star Wars Weekends (I swear, I have the pictures!)
