Is it really sad that a 60 years old man (me) has bought a Star Wars Death Star that is  a planetarium?

LOL

 

I think brian is referring to this cool Uncle Milton toy:

Nice geeky purchase, Brian...pity it doesnt have any optional Darth sidious or vader voice narrative that would made it even more awesome then it already is!

 

I do have a toy planetarium (National Geographic brand) which I did enjoy for a few nights soon after purchasing it a year ago.  It has two globes, one for the stars/constellations at night and the other a solar system display.  The solar system has a nice voice over narrative tour while in another mode it would play music which is supposed to be soothing but its actually irritating coming off a bit screechy.  Then I got bored with the thing and stored it away.  But if it looked like Brian's Death star then it would have been on my display shelf!

 

I am looking for another interactive R2D2 unit that can project a holographic view of our solar system 🙂  Brian, let me know if you come across one as lately, my one moans all day and refuses to playback the Princess Leia message.

Ooooo.... looks very cool. Luckily I have kids, so I can buy stuff pretending it's for them 😉

That the one Tej.  It will be on the shelf along with my TARDIS, USS Enterprise, Klingon Battle Cruiser and Destroyer droid.
