Solid gold Darth Vader helmet for sale, worth $1.4 million

In order to celebrate the 40 years of Star Wars, Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka created a solid gold replica of Darth Vader’s helmet.

The New York Times reported that the Dark Sith Lord’s helmet would go on sale at the Ginza Tanaka Tokyo store on May the Fourth. I think we all understand the joke-- May the forth be with you?

The helmet will cost one lucky fan 154 million yen, which translates to about $1.4 million. The helmet is life size. However, a spokesperson for Ginza Tanaka says that “Unfortunately, you cannot wear this mask because it is too heavy.”  The mask is essentially 33 pounds of pure 24-karat gold.

If $1.4 million is a little out of your price range, Ginza Tanaka will also be selling commemorative solid gold coins. The Star Wars coins will sell in sets of three for about $11,000- but the package does include a replica poster. Single coins featuring Yoda will also be sold for $1,200.
