QuoteI'm pretty sure they said it was weather-proof. Most of the electronics were buried deep inside the jacket.

To stray ever so slightly from the topic, I almost ordered a particular piece of merchandise from MaterReplicas before they decided to NOT release it.
They had a letter jacket that was battery-powered. The back had a picture of Vader's TIE going after an X-Wing with the Death Star in the background.
Why was it powered?
Because the back image had fiber optics running through it. The stars would twinkle, Vader's weapons would attack and the X-Wing would catch fire. (Assuming I'm remembering everything correctly).
It was something like $400, but I was more than willing to pay it. It was suppose to be out in June of either 03 or 04, but they cancelled it before it ever went on sale.
Perhaps they realized that when the first good rain came along.... BBBRRZZZTZTZZZZTTTTTTT!!!!!! Real Force Lightning!!!!
The advantage of the fiber optics was that the actual light source was a fair distance away from the light that you actually saw (I hope I wrote that right).
