What are your Holy Grail “lost” props?

[Lightning]

TOS bridge dedication plaque

This seems almost certain to have survived, at least initially. Its such a no brainer to snag as a souvenir.

Kelly LeBrock from Weird Science. That's what I would like.

Kelly LeBrock from Weird Science. That's what I would like.

The good news is that she is still out there.

Then there is the bad news...

LoL

I was lucky enough to visit universal studios when it was there in 91. But now it’s gone forever.

You mean the VERSION from Weird Science...

View attachment 1947979 I was lucky enough to visit universal studios when it was there in 91. But now it’s gone forever.

Toyota published a marketing brochure for a Corolla - late 90's / early 00's - where a shot was taken at Jaws Lake at Universal Hollywood, with Orca in the shot.

For years, I had a copy.

For the life of me I have no idea where it may be now...

And did Spielberg REALLY spend his lunches out on that boat, when he was at Universal?

It’s a personal loss for myself really, 25 to 30 years ago I had the chance to buy a full screen used costume from return of the Jedi, Gamorrean guard for £3k wasn’t the best condition and the ex wife then was a bit of a tight fisted ,.?!? So I had to walk away ,,,,,,,,,,regret it to this day not to have bought it

I had a brief window of opportunity when the rubber arm appliance Arnie tears off his endo arm was offered by Terry at Monsters In Motion.

I passed...

Yes, that Kelly LeBrock from back in the day. Why, are you going to arrange it? If so, thanks.

I'll give it my best shot!

 

[Grey Area]

The 4th/5th Doctor sonic screwdriver. It was stolen off of John Nathan Turners desk after it was written out of the show. I kind of assume it's in some unofficial collection somewhere. Such a loss...

Oh come on....isn't ANYBODY going pull on a battered old hat, crack a whip and say "That belongs in a museum"...?

 

[Grey Area]

All the models and puppets from "Star Fleet"....if you don't remember it, don't worry, hardly anyone does...here's the X-bomber for those that do...

 

[TheWolfhound]

I thought that was something about Kelly LeBrock again! Apart from the hat.

 

[drusselmeyer]

A Kelly LeBrock figure display shouldn't be that difficult to produce.

The doll setup from the "ceremony" might actually be a pretty funny display.

"She's ALIVE!"

 

[TheWolfhound]

Please don't encourage me.

This looks like correct box...

[Odin82]

The Novem Portis from The Ninth Gate.

Book turned up one year a long time ago, and the owner promised to sell it to me, first refusal, if they ever wanted to sell it. About two years later, a RPF'er posts photos that he bought it. I'm honestly not unhappy about it, and delighted for the user here, because it meant it was kept in the community of fans, and not someone buying it to sell for 2X a few years later, and rinse repeat. Person posted some nice photos of it on here too which was an absolute bonus.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Sometimes, the fan community wins as a whole.

 

[Conduit123]

The Guyver Unit, from ‘The Guyver’ (1991)

It was the only Hero Prop on production. Got lost and most likely stolen in transit from set to the studio
