Stormtrooper Replica Helmet Looks Great, Costs the Earth and Smells of Plastic
12:00PM Haroon Malik | If you love Star Wars as much as us, you may want to sit down and be in a caffeine free, relaxed state before reading this. Here goes, Master Replicas has launched a limited edition Shadow Stormtrooper helmet. Awesome. Instead of looking like a plastic turd as we were expecting, it actually looks rather smashing and we want. The production is seriously limited, only 500 pieces will be produced, and unless you are planning on starring in a Star Wars remake anytime soon, the shocking $649.99 asking price may be a little too steep. If you really want it, why not take a trip to a galaxy far, far away and bag your self a real Stormtrooper—it’ll be cheaper. [eBay via Uberreview] More »

YouNeverCallPromises $10,000 to the First Mobile Phone Caller from the Moon
11:00AM Haroon Malik | OK, it is a marketing scam, but a clever one, so we shall humor YouNeverCall. The press release states that $10,000 shall be awarded to the company/person that places a cellular phone call from the moon to YouNeverCall’s HQ in LA. The deadline for the galactic telecommunication antics is January 7, 2015. The call must utilize a commercially available phone and the caller must be available at the time to answer a few yes/no questions. So, if you plan on calling from the moon whilst you are dropping the kids to school, doing the shopping for your partner and arranging a dental appointment, forget it—you have to be free to chat before you can claim your useless earthly cash.
