Good choice 🙂

I’d take any props from the Rocky Horror Show.

Let’s see, I’d like:

Facehugger in a Jar[sup]TM[/sup] from **Aliens**.  
The monolith from **2001: A Space Odyssey**.  
Jedi training shooty ball from **Star Wars**.  
Han Solo’s blaster from **Star Wars**.  
Original cylon gear from **Battlestar Galactica** (1979).  
The Staff of Ra from **Raiders of the Lost Ark**.  
Skeletal terminator arm from **Terminator 2: Judgment Day**.

That should hold me for now…

Can I have the animatronic T-Rex from _Jurrasic Park_?.. That would scare the crap out of people trying to sell me stuff at my door…

Me, too. I have a duplicate, made from the same mold, but I want the original. Either one of them; it seems Bogey damaged one during filming and they had to bring in the understudy.

A few years ago I went out with a woman who had all kinds of stuff like this. Not props, per se, but interesting parts of the sets. She’d go out and buy interesting things, put them on the sets of movies, and she’d get reimbursed for them. She was usually allowed to keep stuff that she liked. Her apartment was decked out with all sorts of cool stuff.

Having said that, a phaser from any Star Trek movie.

They made, or had made for the pilot, a basically full sized model of a Hammerhead and were having it transported under all kinds of secrecy and security to where the filming was being done. Somehow someone friendly to the Soviets got a couple pictures and reported it back as some kind of secret US aircraft project. At least the cast claimed in interviews afterwords and the press, at the time, backed them up.

Soylent Green - the taste differs from person to person. 😉
