Today’s collectible is a trio of Star Wars lip balms. These light-up lightsaber lip balms can currently be found in Target’s Mini-Seasonal department, near the candy and other stocking stuffers, for $2.99 each. There are three different sabers: Darth Vader, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker. Each saber consists of a detailed hilt, containing an on-off switch, batteries, and presumably a clear led light. The blade and lip balm are clear, and the cap is appropriately colored for the character (red, green, or blue). Each saber also comes with a matching carabiner clip, allowing you to clip the “lightsaber” to the belt loop on your pants. Quite a lot of thought went into the sculpt, and the clips are a great concept for added value.

“The true test of a Jedi’s skill is how well one can apply Lightsaber Lip Balm, without cutting off one’s own lips. Hmm…yes.”

Lightsaber Lip Balm is back again this year at Target. Packaging appears to be the same, but has a 2011 copyright date. Last year Hot Topic also carried these, albeit at an elevated price.
