Yes I know this isn’t even vaguely new, but in the spirit of Christmas, it’s worth mentioning. “A Christmas Story” should be playing on loop 24 hours a day by now and I’m sure everyone can appreciate this piece of cinematic history.
You can now purchase this identical replica of the Red Rider Leg Lamp for $145 – $175. It comes packed exactly as it did in the film, in a wooden crate with “FRAGILE” stenciled on. Cool stuff.

The price is a little steep… other then that… I don’t see myself getting one of these anytime soon… maybe if I could wrap around the USB Keyboard up the leg… maybe that would help motivate me towards the “higher keys” ;-)

“Fra-gee-lay…Must be Italian.”
10 minutes to unpack, 20 seconds for my wife to destroy it.
20 seconds Steve?
“Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman.” (not from the movie)
“Be sure to drink your Ovaltine. Ovaltine? A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch!” (from the movie)
Good one Steve! Maybe you should get her to buy one of a mans leg… that way you can share the destructive experience with her! Further strengthening your marital bonds!

Dear Crunchgear
Please don’t end up like Uncrate. They think a $3000 salt shaker is the cat’s meow . Great for those 20 year old .com millionaires, but not for us ordinary people :)
That said… how much is shipping on that thing? The case alone looks twice as heavy as the lamp
A classic movie for sure, but this is something you would probably put in a “game room” with chcochkies… Definitely something the wife would throw out if it was in the house.
