Pissed Star Wars Fans Finally Get Tauntaun Sleeping Bag

blogs.laweekly.com — Remember that Tauntaun sleeping bag that was supposedly for sale on Think Geek but wasn't, because it was April Fools and they were only kidding? So many people wanted it and got angry that it wasn't available. The company has now decided to try to bring it to life for real -- if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant them a license.

  • mikemehak, on 07/08/2009, -2/+268This is important because the type of people who would spend money on this, are exactly the type of people that still have sleep overs.
  • AmyVernon, on 07/08/2009, -16/+222YOU HEAR THAT, GEORGE LUCAS? GRANT THEM A LICENSE. IT'S WHAT BILLY MAYS WOULD HAVE LIKED.
  • DBLaise, on 07/08/2009, -0/+123I hope it doesn't smell bad.
  • Chairboy, on 07/09/2009, -2/+122Like most Star Wars fans, I'm overweight. As such, I'll hold out for the Jabba The Hutt sleeping bag. Presumably, you crawl in the mouth and use that big floppy tongue as a pillow.

    I've got a friend who I thought wanted to sleep in a Slave Princess Leia sleeping bag, but it just turned out that he was a cross dresser.
  • hokans777, on 07/08/2009, -3/+95Holy ***** that's awesome! I'd totally buy that.
  • IgorUnchained, on 07/09/2009, -2/+73I know that I would mock this if it was Harry Potter, Hannah Montana, or Pokemon....but since it is Star Wars I want to buy two of them.
  • dafragsta, on 07/09/2009, -0/+53Two scents. Bad and worse. They smell bad on the outside.
  • Onethirtytwo, on 07/09/2009, -0/+52You do know every 10 year old that takes this out at a sleep over becomes cool.
  • damien6669, on 07/09/2009, -1/+37It's the 8-Bit tie all over again!
  • theeris, on 07/09/2009, -14/+49NEEEERRRRRRDDDDDDSSSSS!
  • dreamchach, on 07/08/2009, -0/+31this was my ex-boyfriend's childhood dream, to sleep inside that animal. apparently a lot of other people also had the same fantasy.
  • mogebier, on 07/09/2009, -1/+31They will grant almost anyone a license to produce anything. They just want $$$ for the license, and thinkgeek might not want to pony up that much dough.
  • lemercier, on 07/08/2009, -0/+26never mess with a Star Wars fan. especially when it comes to sleeping bags. i know several people who are probably already marking the calendar for this thing...

    .......................................................................................................HI, BILLY MAYS HERE FOR THE TAUNTAUN SLEEPING BAG!
  • inactive, on 07/09/2009, -3/+28yada yada yada there's more of us than there are of you
  • steely, on 07/09/2009, -0/+25Mom, to kids sleeping outside in the backyard.... "your sleeping bag will freeze before you reach the first marker!"

    Young one's retort..... "then I'll see you in hell!"
  • TobiasParker, on 07/09/2009, -2/+26Like a Digg user ever had a boyfriend.
  • harrisbradley, on 07/09/2009, -1/+25It's nice to have a breath of fresh ascii
  • Smyley, on 07/09/2009, -2/+26If Billy Mays sold this before he died, I could die in pit of bearsharks and still die happily.
  • chessthecat, on 07/09/2009, -5/+27Buried for inaccurate headline. The fans aren't "finally getting the bag" because they don't have a license yet. WTS does this even mean?
  • otbeverly, on 07/09/2009, -3/+25And I thought they smelled bad ... on the outside.
  • piieerrrree, on 07/09/2009, -1/+22The cool type of people? 8DD
  • DirtPile, on 07/09/2009, -0/+20Why buy the sleeping bag when you can murder the tauntaun for free?
  • ripple123, on 07/09/2009, -1/+19hell, id buy 2. his and hers, then zip them together for some siamese tauntaun action.
  • ElGanyan, on 07/09/2009, -0/+18I know what it's supposed to be, but I saw James Brown.
  • skiiper, on 07/09/2009, -0/+16Oh GOD, it's like Orson Wells' autopsy.
  • Enhor, on 07/09/2009, -0/+16The worst part is that I have to sleep in a REGULAR sleeping bag until then. It sounds so boring now...
  • buddypriefert, on 07/09/2009, -2/+18Why all the fuss?

    Step 1: Right-click image, Save Image As..., to desktop.
    Step 2: Email for quote to www.freelanceindia.com (or local seamstress, your choice).
    Step 3: Wait 4 weeks.
    Step 4: Impress the other parents at the next day care/sleepover.
  • litleboyuranium, on 07/09/2009, -0/+16I would buy a pikachu that looked like it was cut open to be used as a sleeping bag.
  • infinitus64, on 07/09/2009, -1/+17yeah we call them passed out drunk your deck-overs.

  • kaosethema, on 07/09/2009, -1/+13Zing!
  • Hu99, on 07/09/2009, -2/+14It's great that the Star Wars fans have another reason to leave Mom's basement to line up for some hot merchandise.

  • TobiasParker, on 07/09/2009, -1/+10Dude, gay people have way more fun than us straight people ever do. Women are ***** crazy and as a guy, i do not have the wherewithall to figure them out. Yet, it doesn't stop me from trying, and failing.
