Wow. I would've expected the 'Miami Vice' costume to sell out first, as that's the Universal 80's show more people seem to remember.

I look forward to seeing articles in the newspaper about Ohio being overrun with men in 'Knight Rider' costumes this October 31st. :D

Miami Vice is the highest priced lot of them all. Not sure why. The Target only had like 3 or so suits for each theme.

The Ghost Busters suit was kind of funky, with that blow up back pack, and all. Then again, that very oversized and pure sticker watch with the KR suit is almost sad. Despite having the chip that has recorded messages in it, I think they should have put a little more effort in.

OK...I've bought one.

Split the payment between two pay checks. (It just didn't seem right, dishing out $40, all at once for this mediocre copycat of a Halloween suit.) Have yet to try it on. But, at least somebody else was curious. As, when I arrived, the outer most suit had the jacket taken off the hanger, and hanging from the neckline. So, that gave me a chance to see if this medium size (fits most) jacket would fit. Yup.

Now, I guess photo shots will have to be posted. But, not tonight.

I can't believe I didn't mention how, up at the registers, the cashier took one look at the suit and said how she used to love always looking at the car. (K.I.T.T.) Another fan discovered. :kittconv2:

A friend of mine sent me this photo from his camera phone. Looking forward to seeing other shots of it.

Nope. It's a polyester jacket, (medium 'fits most' size) a rather small wig and an oversized 'wrist watch'. (A sticker thing with a elastic loop, velcro and a sound chip w/activation switch.) At least, the photo on the back is better then anything I saw at that 80s tee web site.

Still...I say $40 is asking just a little much for it.

Here's the photos, finally ready...
