Buy Your Very Own T-Virus Vial


Resident Evil: Extinction [http://www.residentevil.com/].

"Direct from the set of Resident Evil: Extinction comes the very very key virus tube!" the auction description says. "This is one of the most sought after movie collectibles from this franchise and is yours to bring home today. This is a glass vial with non-removable metal end caps with empty spiraling inner glass tubes. (One of the tubes is loose) This measures approximately 4.75" x 1.5" and is screen used."

One of the tubes is loose and they want 3800 bucks for the thing? It doesn't even include any residual T-Virus gunk. In fact, it looks kind of like something put together by a bored kid during a slow half-hour in shop class. But it's apparently the real deal and that means it'll cost you almost four grand to bring it home.

Of course, if you're the cheap sort (and don't happen to have access to a kid who gets bored in shop class) but still want some of that Resident Evil ambiance in your home, you could always give Umbrella Corporation's [http://www.avon.com/] handiwork. Will it really reduce the look of deep folds and give you more youthful fullness in the cheek areas in only two weeks? Or will it in fact turn you into a necrotic, hyper-aggressive bio-organic weapon permanently gripped with psychotic rage and hunger?

Probably the youthful fullness thing, I suppose. But it's still an interesting package design.

Wait, $3800 for a broken glass vial! Despite the fact it's a movie prop, who would shell out that much cash for that?

If you pay for this you really need to get out of the house more, hell at the local comic shop theres a life size statue of yoda with light up light saber for less then this (think its around 1,000 something, may have read it wrong though)...

no one would buy something like that
the movie wasnt that amazing
i always found the games to be hellish better
if they happen to be selling the first copies ever made of the entire game collection for 3800, id believe that
but for a vial?

and lmao at Avon!
my sis has that cream XP

Haha, if you click on the link it says that "One of the tubes is lose." its broken and still worth that much. I'd also only want it if I could open it (you cant) and use it to drink chocolate milk out of. (Chocolate milk rocks)

wow the person who buys this is an idiot really I saw a life size statue of the power armor from fallout 3 for $350 at the liquidation sale for the virgin mega store in new york and I would much rather have that than this piece of junk.

A virus with DNA that big would have problems infecting people...or anything smaller than an elephant!

Although of course, this is on par with Umbra corp's school of bioengineering (located next door to their business school).

You wouldn't imagine how many stares I get for spurting out, "Zombies!" when those Avon commercials come up in a crowded female dorm lounge.
