Slashdot Mirror
Sci-Fi Memorabilia To Ogle And / Or Buy
bluegreenone writes "While I was nerding it up and looking for some original Battlestar Galactica
insiqnias on Google I came across an
enormous auction of
classic sci-fi props and costumes
being held July 31. I'm a little surprised
they are getting rid of some of this stuff. Highlights include a
piece of the original Deathstar,
Scotty's original uniform, and the
Terminator's first jacket.
How would you like to own Twiki
from Buck Rogers, or even
better one of Erin Gray's
hot
spandex
pantsuits from the show?
You can have your own Cylon,
Commander Adama's uniform,
or a Colonial Warrior helmet from the never-filmed second season of BG.
There's
E.T.'s head,
Cyclop's visor from X-men,
and even the alien hand switch from Total Recall.
And who wouldn't want their own cute cuddly face-hugger from Aliens?
There are a ton of items but be prepared, most prices start around $500 and go up to
$40,000."
...a 'peice' of the Death Star? Haven't they started reconstructing it yet?!

And that's before the Slashdot effect hits the prices.
Erin Gray's hot spandex pantsuits from the show?
I'd pay $40000 for CowboyNeal's hoy spandex pantsuits!
I have over 70 freaks, do you?
A good working copy of the HHGTTG, or really, any way off this rock?
The longer I wait around here, the more likely they are to demolish the damn thing and build an interchange through it...
While I'd love to have my own foam-rubber/prop/whaterver facehugger from Alien(s)... Could you really sleep, I mean really really sleep well, knowing that thing was in your house?
And don't even get me started about Scottie's Suit.
I assert that my comment is only my opinion, not that of any employer, past, present or future.
Some of Scotty's old clothes?? I mean, seriously, we all know that man has some glandular problems! I hope they atleast give it a thorough washing.
suddenly I feel very tired
That's Space Station Memorabilia!
I'll bid next week's winning lotto numbers...
-- it must be true, it's on the internet.
...a lifesize working duplicate of Seven of Nine, Trinity, the TX or a Vanessa Kensington fembot. Yeah, baby!

I am looking for a mint condition Harrison Ford bowel movement from the original Star Wars...1 of 220 available.
I'll buy the face hugger and keep it in a easily escapable cage. As is the tradition with such things...
Be you Admins? nay, we are but lusers!
I already have one I got off ebay a few years back.
It's quite cool really. All he wants is a tube of autosol every xmas and to plug himself into the mains at night. In return he does all the cooking, cleaning, DIY, and scares off burglers.
I think he is having some kind of relationship with the hoover though.
Im sure I can lay my hands on a couple of washing up bottles, an egg carton and some silver paint... ermmm.. I mean the original Liberator from Blakes 7.

With all those links in the story, there has to be a goatse link in there somewhere... :^)
Slashdot's first reaction to VMware
"Resistance is futile. You will be inseminated."
What is worse, perhaps, is that the inside of the face hugger was knowingly designed around the female vulva/vagina, and it is plainly clear that that is the case in the photos of the auction. So not only do you have the prop, but the slightly perverted looking replica of labia in the middle of this plastic thing. Maybe it makes some of you want to have it near your face, but remember, it IS a model.

Hope these costumes have been washed/dry cleaned.. Wouldn't want to get space herpes

It's actually pieces of the Moon.
Looking at the uniform, it'd take more than the jaws of life to get him in there.
"The stitching canna take it, captain!"
"Are you being weird, or sarcastic?" said Emma. I said I didn't know because I get the two feelings mixed up.
You must mean this.
These aren't the hot spandex pantsuits you're looking for.

"...female vulva/vagina..."
;)
As opposed to the male vulva/vagina?

"... That's no moon!"
what, no AMAZON BOOK REFERRAL LINK?
or I guess you post other things now too.
I feel I should warn anyone considering the purchase of a face hugger: they are not nearly as affectionate as their name suggests.
You have to sound weird to catch a slashdot editor's eye. They have a lot of submissions to reject...
Do I need to tell you he was British
I assume you meant Scottish. That would explain a lot.
I'll do it for cheesy poofs.

Holy crap - are we slashdotting Ebay?
(and also way too expensive for any of us to buy yet quite fun to ogle at?)

I want the Tardis (preferably a fully-functional one), and a Dalek (preferably non-functional)
While I'd love to have my own foam-rubber/prop/whaterver facehugger from Alien(s)... Could you really sleep, I mean really really sleep well, knowing that thing was in your house?
I was thinking more along the lines of how cool that would be except that I'd never get laid while that thing was in my apartment.
