We all know one of them, those people who are the world's biggest
Star Wars fans, who can recite lines and know what drinks were served at the
Mos Eisley Cantina on
Tatooine (yes, I looked it up). Well, you are going to be a hero when you visit
Metal Park in
The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park and buy them a Darth Vader, Yoda, or
stormtrooper wrought in recycled metal. The Darth
Vaders were sold out when I visited; it seems the dark side is more popular than one would think. They'll be restocked soon. And for you Darth fans with deep pockets, the enormous dark prince standing in the corner (photo below) weighs 800 pounds, can come apart in 7 pieces, and costs $7,000. Metal Park sells one almost every year in the holiday shops.
Prices for the smaller metal art run from $10 - $300. For example, the biggest Yoda up there is $250 and the next size down is $100. These are made in Thailand by 12 artists who comb junkyards for scrap metal, especially lots of old car parts. So not only are you impressing your favorite Star Wars fan, you're also shopping green.
Nb: Metal Park also carries Predators, Aliens, Terminators, Batman and more.

The Vader on is very cool !!
Yes, Mike, you're right, I looked it up but am not a very good Star Wars fan. Thanks for the correction.
