Love the Simpsons? Got Money?

Written on July 23, 2008 by Jethro Jones and 4 people have commented

D’oh! I just bought an iPod Touch and didn’t realize that I could get any iPod for only $50-$100 more than retail and have some sweet, sweet laser engraved Simpsons characters all over it. The laser engraving on the back of the iPods comes in three flavors: Bart SK8, Homer Tested, and Homer D’oh, shown below. You won’t find these at the Apple Store, though, you will have to go through the Fox/Simpsons store here.

This is a limited collector’s item that can be personalized with your name and will include a series number as well. That price point is a little rich for my blood, but marrying two of the greatest creations in the world is sure to be a winning combination at almost any price.

If you take the plunge, let us know and we will praise your geekiness high above our own.

    Love the “Homer Tested” one.

    @Galley I second that.

    Or you can go to one of the places that does laser etching and get it done after you buy a new iPod. Adafruit Industries, in NYC, does iPods for 30$USD and up.
    Granted, it won’t be limited edition, but it’s a good bit cheaper and can be done to one you already own.

    @Raven: Will places like that do copyrighted images, though?
