GadgetMadness: We find the coolest gadgets first

Halloween is bigger this year than ever before, and yet when I go to the stores and look down the aisles at all the cheap latex costumes I shake my head and sigh. When will retailers figure out we want the best high quality Halloween costumes, and not the cheap flimsy junk? Until they do the best place we've found to locate the most awesome costumes is on eBay.

We've compiled a list of the Top Five Most Awesome Halloween Costumes of 2007, starting with number five:

#5) Star Wars Costumes

From Clonetroopers to Wookies, some of the coolest Halloween costumes on eBay are from the Star Wars Universe. There are high-end costumes and helmets from Master Replicas as well as many great looking homemade costumes.

#4) Resident Evil Costumes

Fancy yourself a member of the Umbrella Corporation, an undead zombie or a zombie fighter? Resident Evil costumes are in abundance this year with the release of "Resident Evil: Extinction" and some of them up for auction are actual props from the film!

#3) Battlestar Galactica Costumes

While Cylon Centurion suits are noticeably missing, there are a number of Colonial Warrior costumes to choose from this year both from the original series and the current Sci Fi show.

#2) Frank the Bunny from "Donnie Darko" Costumes

Extra dimensional being, the manipulated dead, or just a guy in a wicked bunny suit? It's not certain exactly just what he was but this author loved him enough to dress up in this Frank the Bunny Costume for Halloween in 2005. Cellar Door.

#1) Halo 3 Master Chief Costumes

Master Chief, this year we have a massive crush on you. Apparently so do some very talented fans as this Halo 3 Costume went for the price of a small car a few weeks ago. If you missed out on this one there are plenty of other Spartan Soldier Mjolnir Armor full suits and parts on eBay up for grabs.

(As always, bid responsibly and check feedback ratings before bidding. We don't know any of these sellers - we just like the costumes.)
