I usually find HOP prices to be FAIRLY reasonable, which is why I usually buy from here. When I got an email the other day saying they would have Death Star heads within a week, I figured maybe i would buy some. Of course that was going by the assumption that they would be somewhat close in price to other Death Star poi I'v seen (80-90 US dollars). They are charging $343 for a pair!!!!! Could someone please explain to me why they are so ridiculously expensive?

A lot of detailed work and care go into the making of each set. In comparison, we can finish 25 pairs of monkey fist knots in the same time it takes to make a single pair of 3D Death Star poi.

Tape origami + fire poi =
Just had a look at the new stuff on the shop, and I must say, I'm impressed!
Great work, HoP Crew!

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.
