Hi all,
Another longtime lurker, but finally decided to join as my future prop wishlist grew more and more specific and this is the place to learn everything I may need to know to make things happen. I collect stuff from mostly movies, but occasionally also videogames and TV shows I enjoy. You could say Indiana Jones is my main interest, but I also have a number of props from Jurassic Park, Star Wars, The X Files, Back to the Future, The Goonies, Lord of the Rings and more.
Something distinctive about my collecting habits is that I try to follow the internal logic of the films I collect from, meaning, if the object was destroyed in the story and therefore it's not supposed to exist, I can't have it. Also, if the story is set in the future and thus hasn't happened yet, I can't have the props either. So for example, if I were to own a Darth Vader helmet, it'd have to be the fire damaged version from The Force Awakens as that's the state that helmet is supposed to be in after Return of the Jedi. Or, say I wanted a Pre-Cog Ball from Minority Report, sucks for me, cause that means it'd have to wait until the year 2054 when the Pre-Crime Police Division is created (I'm waiting). If anything, these rules add a fun touch to my descriptions when friends come look at my stuff and also help my collection from spiraling out of control.
Anyways, looking forward to being part of the community from now on.
