You get together with the boys on Wednesday nights and play a couple of hands of poker and lose all of your money. All in all, not that great of a time. (Except for the time when there were four Princess Leia cosplayers who were invited. That – that was fun.) With the Star Wars Poker Set, you’re guaranteed a good time, since anything that involves Star Wars memorabilia is automatically exciting.

This limited-edition set normally costs £70, or (~$109 USD), but is on sale at Firebox for just £35, (~$55 USD). For this awesome holiday price, you get 200 Star Wars chips that feature greats such as Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, the saggy version of Obi-Wan, and Yoda. There’s also a metal Death Star dealer chip included.

The Star Wars Poker Set also comes with a carrying case etched with the Star Wars logo on front, and equipped with 72 LEDs inside. Why are there 72 LEDs? To make your poker chips look like lightsabers, of course! The chips are transparent, so the light shines through and gives a cool effect.

The set also includes two decks of geeky Star Wars cards and two standard decks, so you’re getting a whole lot of bang for your buck. Though not as much as if you were to buy the Exploding Minecraft Creeper Plushie – then you would get your revenge plus an explosion. You know what they say – EXPLOSIONS ARE AMAZING. “Do they really say that?” No, but I do – FIRE IN THE HOLE! *Blows up a watermelon*

Killjoys may point out that you can have your own “Joker poker set” for free; just doodle on a set of cards and a case Joker-style (it surely seems easy enough). But can you also draw 54 Joker cards and vandalize 100 poker chips?

Actually I think the chips are too gimmicky already. The deck of Jokers however is kinda awesome, specially since its a replica of Joker’s cards in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. That alone makes this a collector’s item. There are only 3,000 sets available, so if you’re a Batman or a Joker fan I suggest you get one right now. The Joker poker set is available at Amazon for $88 (USD). And sorry I wasn’t able to use any Joker quote.

The Memorex Poker Chip Flash Drive won’t win any awards for storage capacity, weighing in at modest 1GB, but it’s a fun gift for the poker addict in your life. They’re expected to show up in Target stores later this month.

Don’t get any funny ideas about using one of these in a casino. Since they’re red, they look most like a $5 chip, so it’s likely to cost you quite a bit more for one of these drives than an equivalent real chip. Now if only they made these in purple or black…
