I know and I still need to.drop Prop Store a line regarding this in case someone is misusing their name. That said there are some examples of identical grenades sold as production made through Profiles in the mid-2000s (on my phone at the minute so I can't find the exact lot and auction) so it...

A few weeks ago I picked up a pulse rifle grenade from eBay and after receiving its provenance (Prop Store via a South England auction house) I decided to remove it from its frame. Unfortunately, while it was fixed in place using wire it had also been stuck to the back board and this has left...

I'd personally doubt that it would be the same shirt; splitting up the costume makes little sense from a collectability point. I also think that Prop Archives also doesn't list all the items auctioned from that time (correct me if I'm wrong) so I wouldn't dismiss it because there's no publically...

Great piece Art. Nice and clear screen match. I have been fortunate enough to get a few good trades and cash at the right time while clearing out my collection and managed to pick up a Rebel Ceremonial jacket from the end of ANH and Ma Ma's costume from Dredd. I'm just refurbishing some...

Very jealous of the Pit Sica. I used to own a McIntyre Spartacus sword but sold it on, regretted it ever since.

Rusty, the problem with the single ones is that you can only realistically install one at the top. This doesn't work that well as by the time you get down to the third shelf you might as well have not bothered with a lighting solution. The Dioder ones do work well you just need to clean the...

Fingers crossed for you Craig.

Oh they're those guys. Just couldn't find anything on there under "Great American". Thanks a lot.

Thanks David, there are a few scenes and a few films that I remember from my childhood and Barin pursuing Flash on Arboria is one of them. It was great to finally get a piece from it. Rick, what is the story behind Great American? I don't have anything with their CoA but it's always good to learn.

I haven't posted in this thread for a while so I guess this is 2014 May - December additions. I got a few small bits, like a skull cap for my Jaffa, it's actually Teal'c's skull cap which was cool but these are the three I'd pick to show here. Hero Arborian Crossbow - Flash Gordon - probably...

I own a hero Arborian crossbow from Flash Gordon (1980). To my knowledge it is the only extant hero crossbow and may have been the only one ever made but it is hard to say as a hero crossbow appears twice in the film. It is tentatively but not definitively screen matched to the one used by...

You could try Relics.org.uk. I know that they have the Denix and will supply in a coloured finish if required.

I'm with Rob on this, DP derived, probably from a Classic Action, but the faceplate has definitely been replaced with a more accurate one.

Okay, thank you. Maybe this was only done on certain items.

Just got a quick question regarding Twentieth Century Fox CoAs. I have recently seen a couple of pieces come up that do not have Fox archive numbers on the props themselves despite having numbered CoAs yet the pieces I have with CoAs from Fox are numbered on the item as well as the CoA. Has Fox...
