OT: I can not find a double bladed lightsaber for my 3 yr olds darth maul costume

[glockcoma]

Anyone know where I can find one, I tried party city, several cosume shops, I cant do the online thing cause holloween it TOMORROW, and my son refuses to be anything else for holloween

 

[faded1004]

which costume places did you go to? not sure if you tried... but may be toysrus? or may be kaybe toys...

 

[bad santa]

I have seen them at toys r us and wall mart

 

[faded1004]

oh, walmart is a good one! let us know what you have tried... so we can suggest more! : )

target might have it to? they usually have a decent toy selection too...

 

[glockcoma]

I tried Target, Walmart, Party City, and Toys R Us, and I was told by all three that they no longer carry it, Im gonna try puzzle zoo on 3rd street promanade

 

[glockcoma]

Oh and these stores do carry a replica saber that cost $200 and I am not willing to go that far, I need the plastic one

 

[faded1004]

oh man, sorry to hear that... you shoudl try to call up kaybee toys... i wonder if ther are any amuzment parks with it? who makes star wars? may be you can get into like disney land and buy one therE? i know that is going far for it...

I tried to help ya out but the costume store next to my work place ran out of them as well.

They have everything else from Anakin to Vader... but not the Darth Maul's one.

 

[Bebo77]

doubt you are going to find one as pirates are the hot costume this year.. Star wars was a few years back...

Went clubbing the other day and the winning costume was a guy who made a transformer suit out of cardboard boxes. When he crouches into a fetal position, it turns into a car.

Pretty awesome.

my neighbor has 2 of those things "for his kids" I will tell you that when he and his buddies get drunk, they have a blast beating the crap out of each other with them LMAO

my dad would have just painted a stick for me when i was a kid...and i would have been happy with that!!!

 

[BurntOutReefer]

too bad to far away....I have two you could borrow....its those light ones that sold for $400 a couple of years ago.....

 

[glockcoma]

I have the hood and cape I have the 2 Vader sabers taped together, all I need is the red and black face paint, I was gonna get him the mask, but he wants paint, its gonna be awsome, when he is dressed up and he sticks his hand out to try to use the force (he does that every time we go to a store with automatic doors, he thinks he opens it with the force) I cant wait to see a 2 1/2 foot Darth Maul, thanks for the help everyone.

Years ago I went to a costume contest at a club. The prize was $5K and a restored 1972 Cadillac hearse. Everyone who had an impressive costume from NYC to Baltimore showed up (it was in NJ). Third prize went to a guy dressed up as a Borg. Second to a 10ft tall ogre (complete with automated head, illuminated eyes and a club). First went to someone in a Buzz Lightyear costume that looked EXACTLY like the toy . . . the wings even popped out!!!!

It completely redefined my understanding of what Halloween meant as an adult.

I guess that is why I am sitting in my office baking my butt off in a bomb disposal uniform right now.

 

[glockcoma]

Here is Darth Mauls mini me, lol!

My camera was dead and I could not find the charger so I had to use my phone.

 

[faded1004]

did you end up painting his face? i remember you saying you also had the mask?

 

[glockcoma]

Yup, his face is painted, he wants to be darth maul every weekend now, he should be watching sesame street, dora the explorer, blues clues or something, lol.

He was estatic when he looked in the mirror, his joy was priceless.
