If you're a true Star Wars fan, you've probably got all the series' merchandise such as Princess Leia headphone covers, real-world Star Wars currency, and lightsaber night lights. But we're willing to bet you don't have this: An 8' x 8' x 8' replica TIE fighter, big enough to sit inside and pilot.

I've always wondered about the Death Star...is that really the planet-blasting laser section in that dish there...or is it a sub-woofer system for Darth to play Imperial March on dial 11 whenever that thing rolls into orbit.

Originally there were to have been two, so Darth Vader could say, "have a nice Death Ray."
