Carry your own Beijing Olympics Torch

olympic_torch.jpg

For the Olympics-obsessed, here’s an official replica of the torch that was carried 85,127 miles on its way to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. This 11.4-inch model isn’t quite half the height of the 28.3-inch real thing, but this officially licensed product carries extra coolness, because it’s made of leftover steel from construction of the "Bird’s Nest" stadium in Beijing.

The fancy $500 trinket even comes nestled in its own elegant Chinese-style box. Even though it just sits there and looks pretty, just like the Beijing Olympics, it’s a class act. Nice, but we'd rather have one of those swanky hats the U.S. team wore in the opening ceremony.
