Resident Evil 5 themed lighters look awesome, cost a lot photo

As an avid smoker, I’m always looking for a hot videogame product to light my cigarettes. Unfortunately, videogame boxes don’t have the capability to emit flame or even provide a simple strike surface. Plus, you know, they’re pretty bulky.

But, hey, Capcom has got me covered ... kind of.

Above is a picture of two hot new Resident Evil 5 themed Zippos. As you can see, they’re stylish and metal -- essentially the perfect lighters. I would love to have one of these, however, there are two problems. The lighters are only available on Capcom's Japanese store. I can’t imagine North Americans can get their hands on them easily. Also, they’re very pricey. The lighter on the left side of the header is $73, while the one on the right is $128.

Even if I were to buy one of these, I would lose it to the bowels of my couch within a week. Still, though, these things are pretty. What do you guys think?

I would pay that much for one of their different games. I have about 5 or 6 different zippos and I'd be happy to add an Okami one.

Show me a Resident Evil Lock picking kit. Then I'll be impressed.

"As an avid smoker" just kind of made me laugh. You know, like it's a hobby or something. Sorry, just had to mention that.

I think any real smoker would agree they'd rather spend that $73 on cigarettes.

Didn't Zippo sue Capcom?

Anyway, I like this one better:

But, I don't smoke...

Anyways, I prefer the STALKER lighter.

Wait, you're all buff and in shape, but you smoke? That seems silly. It won't matter how in shape your cardiovascular system is if you get lung cancer!

If it doesn't have the STARS or Umbrella logo, then it can fuck right off.

You can keep those. All I want is the gun lighter from RocknRolla.

I got a blond bombshell lighter that I gave my sister. She forget's to fill it up.

Also, smoking is bad! Try healthier habits, like carrot sticks or smoking smarties.

Damn I think if I could afford it I would so spring on that BSAA lighter.

Damn those are so sick but I'd never drop that kind of money on a lighter.

Just because a person carry a lighter does not mean that he or she is a smoker. (only 1% of the population)

Yeah I was going to say, there's tons of tacky videogame themed lighters on ebay let alone buying one for 128 bucks
