Billboard reports that Etsy store owner Dylan Thomas sold $22,000 (£15,763) worth of custom helmets in the vein of the robots' classic headwear, while a figurine was up for sale for $406 (£290). Someone was even trying to flog one of the 'Get Lucky' condoms for $10,000 (£7165).

A sealed vinyl of Daft Punk's 2013 album 'Random Access Memories' - alongside a mask - is currently on eBay for £145, while there are countless helmets priced over £1000, a picture 12" vinyl of 'Get Lucky' up for £187, a 10-year anniversary edition of the Tron Legacy soundtrack going for £194.95 and a fan-made pair of gloves for £227.33.

There was no real reason for the French duo's break up. They just announced the split in a video called Epilogue.
