Star Wars poker set unveiled

A set of poker chips with a Star Wars theme has gone on sale at StarWarsShop.com.

The first officially licensed set of its kind, it is made by Belgian card company Cartamundi, which recently signed a deal to be able to produce Star Wars products.

Costing $149.99, the set features 200 10.2 gram transluscent chips, a Death Star dealer button made from chrome, a case with the Star Wars brand upon it and two card decks, which cannot be bought separately.

The chips are split into 100 blue, 50 red and 50 green and are made to look like the blades of lightsabers by 72 LEDs positioned at the base of the box.

According to the seller: "The stand-out feature of this set, of course, is the presentation."

Themed poker chips have been around for many years and sports fans can purchase sets featuring organizations such as the NBA and Nascar.
