Supreme Edition Starwars StormTrooper

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Without doubt the most insane costume we have on our site at the moment is the Supreme Edition Storm Trooper Costume. At 669.99 Euro it is by far the most expensive costume we stock – but never under estimate the will of a Star Wars Fan.

The Supreme Storm Trooper is a replica of the Outfits used when filming the original movies – and for a collector is a must have item. Don’t believe us? Well did you know that in recent census’ “Jedi” has become a popular choice of religion? In fact in New Zealand more people listed chose Jedi as their religion Hindu or Buddhism! Clearly some folks did it for a laugh, but others were deadly serious.


Here’s some crazy facts about how serious Star Wars Fans are:


* In April 2009 it emerged that eight police officers serving with Scotland’s largest police force in Strathclyde listed their official religion as Jedi in voluntary diversity forms.
* In England and Wales 390,127 people in 2001 census listed their religion as Jedi.
* On November 16 2006, 2 self-proclaimed Jedi delivered a protest letter to UN officials in recognition of the International Day for Tolerance. They requested that it be renamed the “UN Interstellar Day of Tolerance” and cited the 2001 Census showing 390,000 Jedi in England and Wales.


But if your just looking for a fun Storm Trooper costume – We’d recommend going with the deluxe Storm Trooper witch is about 1/10th of the price!
