HAL 9000 Replica For Your Own

If you are like most geeks, 2001: A Space Odyssey was a really great movie and one that is still watched today by many when ever it comes on. The HAL 9000 on board computer played a central part of the movie. For those who are die hard fans of the movie, you may have an opportunity to purchase an exact replica based on the movie for your very own home. And is based on the 1967 blueprints from the model. What more could you ask for?

The HAL 9000 Life-Size Replica from Think Geek is more than just an exact replica. It has the ability to talk to you, though it will not be an interactive conversation. They have collected 15 different quotes from the movie where the HAL 9000 is talking. These come up randomly, so you are not sure which one will come up when. It will respond when spoken to, but do not expect the responses to match up to what you are asking of HAL. If you have an IR remote, you can use that and by pressing a button, you will also get the HAL 9000 to respond.

Each HAL 9000 is hand assembled and comes with a rather steep price of $499.99. But for those die hard fans, price is no object to get an exact replica of the HAL 9000. This runs on a single 9 volt battery. The reality may be that the price is just too high except for only a select few who are willing to spend that kind of money on a replica from the movie.

Here is a video of the HAL 9000 replica in action.
