Last November I told all you Geeks and Nerds out there about the Profiles in History Memorabilia Auction where they had some super-cool items like Luke Skywalker's 'hero lightsaber' and Christian Bale's mask from Batman Begins. Now, Profiles in History has another auction coming up this week, featuring some of the most sought-after film props ever! What really caught my eye - even more than the Ray Park/Darth Maul double-bladed lightsaber from Episode One - was the 'hero blaster' from the seminal sci-fi classic film BLADE RUNNER. Here's a sampling of some of the items that will be available in the auction which will be held on Thursday, April 30 and Friday May 1. You can visit PROFILES IN HISTORY for more details and LIVE AUCTIONEERS to sign up for the auction:
This baby survived the brutal shoots that reportedly destroyed several
'stunt sabers' in filming the hyper-kinetic lightsaber duels in Episode
One. Can you feel the Dark Side of the Force surrounding it?

The Holy Grail of sci-fi movie props! The '2019
Detective Special' has numerous web sites devoted to it, explaining
its origins and unique double-trigger design. Here, for the first
time ever, you can buy the original prop from the film.

Oh yeah, Harrison looked really stylin' in this suit when he first met Sean Young in BLADE RUNNER. Think I could pull this one off and wear it on a night clubbin' with the cool folks?

'GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF ME YOU FILTHY APE!' Oh yeah, this outfit is classic and those boots are rockin'!
