Anyone else see this on sunday?

My Dad called me up Monday night and asked 'well did you see it?' 'see what I said?' 'Darth vaders helmet!' it was on the roadshow!'

Finally caught up and watched it, the old boy has the medallion from Indiana jones and the axe from the shining

Did'nt realise they'd be worth so much!?

It was incredible - he had 3 of the most iconic props in film history. The axe from The Shining being the stand out piece IMO.

I could see that Vader faceplate cased up, would look amazing on display. Not sure my missus would be too pleased I'd taken out a second mortgage to buy it though.

I loved it!

that axe was pretty cool!
Cant believe most of it was thrown in the skip

I heard somewhere that Michael Jackson had one of the original vader helmets used in empire

I was shocked by those valuations. A broken axe £40k-£60k

Props thrown in skips after the films I heard was common. I bet a lot of original star wars props were thrown away, which makes the surviving parts all the more rare.

I once saw a large ANH death star surface prop (mostly made of wood) on eBay, the seller claimed he fetched it out himself from a skip at Elstree studios, must have been 18years ago I saw that.
