While the rest of the crew is doing PCP and contracting STDs, some of us are saving the chilluns. Want to get down with Dtoid's puritanical side? Then head over to eBay and bid on this Zelda-inspired Wii mod.
The bedazzled Wii is the result of 40 hours worth of arts, crafts, tomfoolery, and electric voodoo, and features lots of backlit LED triforce-thingies, and a sword. That's right, chumps, a sword! The Master Sword and Hylian Shield are from a collector's edition Twilight Princess soundtrack, which is generously included (along with Wii Sports and a Wii-mote).
More importantly, a portion of the proceeds go the Penny Arcade's Child's Play. The charity focuses on using the gaming community to raise money for books, toys, and video games for terminally ill and hospitalized children. Earlier this year, Child's Play broke the $1 million mark, and shows no signs of slowing down.
So, get a jump on the Christmas spirit and bid on this bad boy, if only to inflate the price for somebody else with deep pockets. The auction ends March 25.
[Thanks, Lee]
[Update: It seems like the original auction didn't comply with eBay's charity standards, so it's been relisted here.]

Some is better than none.
Fantastic Mod. I like the kanji on the triforce at the front.
Not quite all but still a fair amount, or so I would hope.
Fixed -- thanks, guys.
Anyone else going to get Custom Robo Arena?
The Triforce of power if the top one, while the mod has the power on the bottom right.
And its not the modder's fault. The kanji has just been inscribed on the wring places.
for now
the seller says that they are sold out
"The Master Sword is removable and slides out from behind the shield! The sword and shield are part of a special edition Zelda soundtrack released with the game and produced by Master Replicas. Only 7000 were made, currently sold out and never be sold again.

(The collector's box and soundtrack will be included for free!)."
Thanks again!! Ramon
