Jun 30 2009Pew Pew, Kids, Pew Pew!: TIE Fighter Fort
Do you spoil your kids? You shouldn't. Which is exactly why you should buy this $75 TIE Fighter playset for yourself and never let them touch touch it. Rope it off in the corner of the living room and sit in it making PEW PEW PEWs while they stare longingly at all the fun you're having. Ask them who wants to play space battle and then tell them you've changed your mind and you'd trade either one of them for a new lawnmower in a heartbeat. Then, send them to bed with no dinner. It's what my parents did, and look how well I turned out. I AM A CATCH. And by catch I mean hellhound. Ladies? GRRRRRRR!

Eh - you could make a similar fort with a couple of boxes and some lead-based spray paint...
@5 - Seriously, no one here will call that damned number, so instead of having people prank call the person you're after, all you're doing is annoying people on the internets. douche.

It doesn't look like there's a lot of room in that thing, of course everyone knows there's not a lot of room in a tie fighter either

This Tie Fighter Fort is much more than it seems. It is actually capable of flight. All you need to do is find a tall building to launch it from. Simply go to the top of a 5+ story high building, hop in, and have your friend push you over the side. Allow the aircraft to build up enough airspeed, thanks to Gravity, and it will become flyable. After that, you can simply move your body side to side, front or back to control your aircraft. Enjoy Kids!

this reminds me of a laundry hamper i used to have. if it's built the same, it won't even make it out to the clothesline before it rips and dumps my wet laundry all over the dirt. bastard laundry hamper. sure, it's fine for the rebel alliance, the probably have some advanced washing machines that take all the work out of it, but here i am using a wringer washer from 1953 and now i gotta do it all over again, spend another hour and a half slopping wet jeans around through the machine and two wash tubs to rinse and getting my hands all pruney just because they can't even make a ti-fighter that will hold 50 lbs!!! FEH!
also, kid on the left = petting invisible dog, kid on right = pushing a stroller, and kid in middle = getting a cuppa the kid on the left.

im just going to blurt this out:
THIS IS A COMPLETE PHOTOSHOP JOB.
But seriously, I could make a better one.
And black? Are Tie fighters not almost completely gray with black panels on their wings?
17. Timbo - June 30, 2009 3:56 PM
That is awesome!
18. Daisy - June 30, 2009 3:59 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrogn.
Thisd is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max accidentally erased all the tapes at his friends video rental store and then went ahead and made replacements with a consumer grade camera, acting many of the parts and constructing all the sets and props from locally available material.

21. nadalo日本にいます。SHADOWS ALL WRONG - June 30, 2009 7:55 PM
Well.....this is obviously fake, a photoshop edited picture Perspective is all wrong...very bad.....i hope nobody thought this was real...good idea though but why a TIE fighter?
22. Jaded Icon - July 1, 2009 7:24 AM
It is photoshopped, but that does not mean this product does not exist, it's just that they couldn't get us Star Wars adult fans out of it to take pictures of the kids. ITS OURS DAMN YOU!!! Damn kids trying to take everything.

You can hang this with a robe on a tree and swing it for the real flying experience!
