    This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply.

    Brad Esposito, writing for Buzzfeed, on how the famous Chewbacca talking masks are now selling out all over the place. I want one.


    The mask is now out of stock at Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, and Kohl’s, meaning you’ll have to turn to eBay if you’re desperate, where prices continue to rocket well beyond the original $20 to $30. In less than two days, more than 100 million people have watched a video of Texas mom Candace Payne trying on a Chewbacca mask in her car and laughing hysterically.

    It's kinda cute and I get its feel good. But I was expecting it to be a lot better and funnier when I finally watched it after seeing it being shared on Facebook soooo many times over the weekend

    I hate star wars (put down the pitch forks) and I still love this. Between how goofy she looks and how much fun she's having, it's impossible not to laugh along and get in a good mood with this video. I mentioned to my friends how Kohls gifted her family with more masks and toys etc and I said 'its the least they can do, she just gave them so much free publicity'....didn't expect THIS though!
