Greetings, I'm just starting to get into the world of prop collecting and i thought who better to ask for help than the experts that can be found on this site... The must have for me right now is the Wing Commander Pilgrim Cross though im having trouble finding it... Im really into SciFi/Fantasy shows/movies and props that can be worn, (preferrably around the neck or rings) so if anyone knows any good props that would work for me that would be awesome...
Any suggestions for a new collector?

well i was actually looking for suggestions for replicas i should be looking at.... good shows and good replicas... i just like odd things that can be worn.... things that kind of stand out and can be used as conversational pieces you know?... stuff like the One ring from LOTR and the Time Turner from HP...
Kinda can't suggest what you should buy as well it's really personal opinion on what you like most. The Psol (prop store of London) does have a very comprehensive and up to date list of items.
If your looking for Harry potter stuff you can always check out the Warner bros. site as they have alot of the noble collection stuff.
Just have a browse through the junkyard as there are plenty of fan made replicas of some awesome pieces.
Oh and btw welcome :lol

Sd studios was trying to sell his pilgrim cross recently. Not sure if it sold.
The only suggestion I give to you as new collector is : make sure you can afford whatever you buy. Collecting is like hovering around a black hole. If you get inadvertantly sucked in, you're in big trouble.
my only suggestion is get out while you can!

Steve (sdstudios) had some for sale on the junkyard recently. Also, yeah, the Propstore of London is THE best place for props. screenused.com is also amazing.

It sounds like you have an idea of what you want to collect already. Stick with it. You could start collecting super hero rings like that of the Green Lantern or an entire set of the rings of power from the Lord of the Rings. With all collections it starts small with one or two things. Then little by little your collection will start to grow.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do. :cheers

Agree with everyone else.. Also, do be careful what you collect, as there's a lot of movies where you just won't stop..
Examples, you might be into Freddy Krueger, so you want to get the most iconic symbol, the glove.. But then you want to display it nicely, so you want fedora to display with it.. But wouldn't it look good to have a Freddy mask / bust.. But i doesn't look right, you need the shirt so the mask and glove blend nicely with it.. But seeing you get the shirt, you might as well get pants and shoes.. But then the display is a mess, so you get a mannequin.. But the left hand looks weird as you have the head and glove.. So you get the burnt left hand.. But then wouldn't it be cool to lift the shirt and see the torso souls..
Same goes for Indy, Star Wars / Trek, V, Fifth Element etc etc.. As they've said, get out now, while you still can!!
