Trivia
- The crystal Wii produced by Crystal Icing used over 20,000 Swarovski crystals and was valued at $4,000.[1]
- The crystal Wii was at some point sold to rare video game collectible selling website, Combo Point. In September of 2013, Combo Point had placed the Wii for auction on eBay with a starting bid of $20,000.[2] The auction ended several days later with no bids.[3] The current whereabouts of the console is unknown.
