Shamelessly indulging in melodramatic space trash since 1995

Not-quite wacky merchandise: Inflatables

April 2nd, 2009 by Dunc · 9 Comments

After the madness of April Fool’s, the inflatable starships and Death Star beach ball really don’t get much more than a shrug. Hell, they’re actually kind of adorable… And I really don’t know where else to tell you I saw the kites at Sam’s Club for $20. $20!

    I actually kinda like that X-Wing.

    This is not an April Fool’s joke? All the stuff I like seems to turn out that way.

    My dad bought Rogue the X-Wing kite for his birthday. It looks pretty kickass, I have to say.

    ok.. those kites are pretty cool. i was afraid that they were just regular delta kites being sold for $20.

    Aw, those look fun! The kind on the right looks plastic, though.

    At my high school Grad Nite party, we had a Star Wars theme and I ran away lugging a huge pool inflatable Millennium Falcon.

    I want the Death Star beach ball now.

    There used to be a “Falcon” pool toy. It was huge. Seriously the thing could fit about three people. Am I giving myself away that I owned it? :P

    The Alex. VA BJ’s has the kites for $17.99. Got myself a Flacon to replace the plastic Vader that was eaten by a tree at the Smithsonian Kite Festival years ago.
