I'd be happy if I had an accurate captains chair from Star Trek TOS.

i used to know the guy who has the original command chair. Mark and Brian offered him $10,000 on air to buy it. he said no but they could come over and sit in it naked if they wanted to. they replied had he ever let anyone do that? he said nope only me.

My Nick Nitro and Archer expression heads. My source told me these were the master heads for the ones used in the movie. Never seen any of these elsewhere... Took me nearly two years to get them ;-)

I own one of my grails - the Grail Diary, which I fell in love with as a kid when I saw the movie, also it's the prop that got me interested in collecting.

The other grail would be the DeLorean from BTTF2, completely tricked out with all the greeblies.

At the end of the day I want all the things :lol but the DeLorean is the big one.

My ultimate if i was rich would be an 89 batmobile.

propmainiac · Jul 25, 2015

I would have to say my grail would be The Ark Of The Covenant. My other Grail is the Aliens Pulse Rifle with a ten hole vent which I built two years ago. If I can build the Ark Ill stop with the props!

I almost won it at auction. I've trying to source the frame ever since so I could make one but I haven't been able to find anything close to it.

Still looking for this or any info on it.

Well if that is where we are going my ultimate Grail is the Tumbler which would obliterate your 89 (89 being my second favorite Batmobile).

Of course if we are going that far my Airwolf would also destroy your 89 and my Tumbler. Then my Falcon would destroy my Airwolf. Then my U.S.S. Excelsior would destroy my Falcon, then my Star Destroyer would destroy my Excelsior.

Actually I want all that stuff and the rest of my Collection on my Star Destroyer. I would say that would cover it.

My grail is Han Solo in Carbonite. I always wanted one so I built it. It pleases me very much to gaze upon it.

Yep. Win the lottery (a big one) and I will have the ultimate mancave with a retractable roof for the Airwolf, a Tumbler, an H1 Hummer, a 1970 RT Dodge Charger, and a Kawasaki KLR 650 modded into Streethawk.

My F350 Ford 4x4 Crewcab/longbed in the regular garage.

Holy crap I forgot about my 8' movie Enterprise A model (kit currently being offered for about 6k) and the original 10' Enterprise E model. Either the original ILM one or have one commissioned. I can't believe I forgot these.

Barry Taylor · Jul 30, 2015

My grail is the demon night blood key, and I'm sad to say no I don't own it, but one day it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine!

Tom1971 · Jul 30, 2015

Sorry, forgot one last thing. My 1/1 Jabba the Hutt and Max Rebo. Gotta have it.

I confess I bought something from the "Antiques Roadshow". That counts, doesn't it?

I have an actual plate that supposedly flew on the Graf Zeppelin. Couldn't afford a full dinner plate, this is more "salad sized". Also have many full sets of 1953 American Airlines (DC-3) Flagship silverware, with TWO very rare pickle/shrimp forks.

I also want a "LOTR" One-Ring, but with the Mordor writing carved deep enough so I can internally light it with orange LED's (who will notice tiny wires running to a wrist battery pack?)...

"Excuse me, did that ring just ...GLOW???"
"Noooo, I think you're just seeing things..."

(If anyone knows where I can get such a ring, I'd be very grateful!)

Gadgeteer · Jul 30, 2015

Oh -- brother has a Delorean. I've fixed a LOT on it. The electronic ignition module -- what would you expect it to cost, $35-$40? NoooOOOooo, it's BOSCH, costs $450! I fixed his with a 75¢ 2N3055 power transistor. Bet he has the only "internal lights rheostat" with a METAL hub (the plastic ones break, his is now handmade aluminum!).

His radio works, made a VERY flexible connector for the cassette door, all lights (AM/FM frequency etc.) work. Helped him replace the clutch line with stainless. Haven't quite gotten the door-lock module functioning, but haven't worked on it for awhile...

Made a solid polycarbonate frame for his leather shift-boot.

...he will NOT allow me to hook up a Flux Capacitor, darnit!

That is VERY cool -- how did you get such an excellent figure? You're very talented if you sculpted it yourself!
(And you must have a very understanding wife!)

I wonder if you considered making one of the hands --- flexible? Wouldn't it be fun to be showing it off, and your unsuspecting victim suddenly sees one hand TWITCH???

The Han Solo cast is from Kingjawa here on the RPF. I can't say enough good things about this cast. It was reasonably priced, high quality and easy to work with.
