What's Happening

Halo Fan Pwned At Pawn Shop

Halo's MJOLNIR Assault Armor is a technological marvel, protecting its wearer from weapons, radiation, and other hazards. It has a regenerating shield that soaks up damage, making members of the SPARTAN program one of the most survivable forces in the galaxy. How much is a suit of the stuff worth? As a wearer learns on the History Channel's Pawn Stars show, the answer is "not much."

The segment starts with our leotard-clad hero unboxing various parts of the suit. After modeling it in the store, he explains that he's seen similar suits sell for as much as $15,000. Fortunately, he's setting his sights to a more realistic figure of $2,000, which he plans to use to pay off some debt. He estimates that he spent 700 or so hours building the suit.

Watch the episode here to see a young man's dreams smashed into a million particles. The Halo part starts right around the 3 minute mark, if you're one of those impatient types.

 

Thanks for the tip, Edwin!

  • Thats my armour
  • Hahaha wow thats interesting that they put that on Pawn Stars.
  • Your welcome!

  • He got ripped off.
    I just watched it and he CLEARLY got ripped off.those two fat dudes knew what halo was, I mean come on you dont get that fat from watching tv.
  • Well that sucks for him. Now he should try the internet.
  • "What's Halo?" -__________-
    "The most I can do is 200" What a d-berg
    On a different note however, I'm sure many would call me names as I am someone who can't grasp the idea of... old... junk, being worth anything for any other reason than it being pleasant to look at. Because after all, that's all you do with collectables right? Toys you don't play with. Weapons you don't use as intended. It all just sits locked away to look at, so one would think these "priceless" pieces should at least be nice to look at... of course that is quite often not the case.
  • I literally just watched that part right now. This guy is an idiot. While he did do a great job with it (even my Dad said that, and he hates cosplayers. Meagan would hate him) it isn't worth 2,000. He needs to watch the show more often.
  • 15,000 dollars seems a little much...

    *edit* is there an article on how the other one sold? Seems a little far fetched to me...
  • *sigh* We need pawn shops centered around video games...oh wait...Gamestop and such, I forgot. Still, even then you're limited to what you can give and take.


    Guy could have probably got way more for it off Ebay or some such site then some stupid pawn shop. Chances are the guy was just after his 15 minutes of fame or some such thing.
  • he got pwned
  • I saw that episode and right away I knew that guy was BS... How can you not know about Halo? It is not like chumpley or whateva his name is 50 yrs old! He was trying to get 1000% profit. Luckily the guy was not a moron and kept the suit. I am sure there are plenty of Master Chief enthusiasts out there and being that Holloween is coming up, I would try to sell it online.
  • Thats my armour : shopping: http://bit.ly/kgVfaL
  • You can get more than that off of ebay, mate. Go there and do it, or Amazon.com, never tried that one though.

  • So he worked on this for 700 hours and it isn't worth squat? Instead of selling your belongings he could spend that 700 hours learning something useful to society. He could get the fundamentals of a programming language down in 700 hours, easily. This way the guy could actually design his own game rather than sink 700 hours into a costume from a game.
  • The fact that the kid is probably 5'5" or 5'6" really hurts his chances of selling it. The ones that sell for thousands are custom made for certain body types.

    Though some idiot on eBay would buy it in like 5 minutes.

  • Poor guy. That thing was worth about 2,000- 15,000 dollars. I love Pawn Stars, but a lot of times they offer prices WAY too low.
  • Mod
    Did he call his expert on Halo armor?
  • I love the show. I've seen every episode. He just needs to try to sell it somewhere else. That armor was awesome, someone somewhere will want it.

  • That was an awesome episode lololololol

  • One word...Ebay. Who still goes to pawn shops?
