Profiles in History Ebay auction

Maybe should be in another section but thought some of you would like to see some old Star Wars props ect that are going up for grabs on ebay, if I had the money I'd go for the go motion Tauntaun with Luke.

Wow, the Star Wars and Star Trek props are amazing, if only I had won the lottery on Friday or Saturday...
Will someone else agree with me that looking at those lots is better than porn... :shock
Thanks for posting the link.

You've obviously not sampled the delights of Soapy-titwank.com

Although, I would gladly sell my left bollock for any of those Tom Jung/Joe Johnston concept pieces.

You should watch the live stream they've got up at the moment to see the eye waters prices some of these things are going for. The Star Wars items starts soon!

R2 coming up!

Watching the live stream with my jaw resting on the floor :shock:

Unbelievable.

$2.3 Million :shock:

Ian

2.3 million!!!!!!
Sorry, but that's just ****ing insane.

I've scooted right the way through.. the SW stuff is amazing, but I'm oddly more floored by the volume of amazing iconic items going under the hammer... Tom Hanks clothes from Forrest Gump, the outfits worn by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman in Shawshank, Prince's hat from Purple Rain, Michael J Fox's self lacing Nikes from BTTF 2, Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman mask... DiCaprio's Titanic outfit as Jack.... The Karate Kid's bandana FFS.. This auction is mental!

Unbelievable array of iconic objects that I've watched on screen from many of my fave movies...

The sword of Conan... the armour of King Arthur in Excalibur... the Alien queens head... Terminator shotgun... it just goes on and on.

As a collector it really makes me feel like I'm Accrington Stanley and this is Barcelona. So far out of my league!

legend prosthetic masks are my fav pieces

Some utterly mind blowing pieces. Bill Hudson's armour and weapon from Aliens, blueprints for X-Wing, Y-Wing and Falcon, original Tom Jung drawings for SW and ESB posters, so much!

I want a go at The Goonies cutlass

I was a bit surprised at first to see the Tauntaun didn't sell but then read that parts of it were reproduction so think that the starting bid of $60K was to high really.

Seeing those first shots on Hoth of this creature running in the snow were what initially put me onto my career path of animation and meeting the animator, Phil Tippett, at his studio which was down the road from where I once lived in Berkeley was one of the big highlights of my lifetime. I really would have loved this item but there's no way on earth I'm ever going to be able to afford something like this so I guess I'll just have to make do with looking at the pictures of it.

There are some other great animation characters up for sale later today so it will be interesting to see what they go for. I may well have even animated the Coraline figure with cat at one point as well as it's from the sequence I worked on. For now though I'll just enjoy having my Neca $10 doll of her.
