Vader costume for sale ...

For sale: A chance to embrace the dark side.

Christie's auction house is selling an original Darth Vader costume from the ''Star Wars'' movie franchise.

The outfit - a jet-black helmet, mask and armor - is expected to sell Thursday for between 160,000 pounds and 230,000 pounds ($NZ330,000 to $NZ480,000).

Christie's says the costume is thought to have been made for ''The Empire Strikes Back,'' the second film in George Lucas's sci-fi series, released in 1980.

The auction house's head of popular culture, Neil Roberts, says the costume is one of the most iconic in the history of cinema.

Christie's did not name the seller, identified only as an American private collector.

If only I had the cash to buy something that I really don't need. Seriously, I would, really, it would be nice to buy something I don't need.

 

I mean, that's a lot of money - but I honestly expected it would go for more.

 

I heard Sean Connery's gun owned this.
