A Legion Flight Ring and transsuit would be handy. Actually, just grab a Threeboot ring, and you can skip the transsuit…added bonus, they give the damn things out like prizes in breakfast cereal. An interlac novel would be nice, too, while you’re in that particular coordinate-set. (Hey, I can read Interlac…seriously.) Genre doesn’t matter much… No Coluan porn, though…those green bastards are freaky. ---

Any of these. I’m not greedy: A working set of 3-D glasses. A vial of Super-Soldier formula and Dr. Erskine’s notes. The Weather Wizard’s wand. The plans for one of Reed Richard’s inventions. With a little white-out, I shall be rich! A mithril vest (is that stuff bullet-proof?:dubious:) Or to get really deep into comic-geekdom: [This guy’s ring](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Ring). That’s not too powerful, right? Oh, and a decent photo of a Balrog, just the settle the “wing question”. ---

My house doesn’t have a lot of storage space, and I’m a confirmed packrat (though not a French lawyer). ---

I already SAID I wasn’t going after a Lens; they won’t work for me, they’re useless seconds after the owner dies, and Mentor is only slightly less dangerous to the likes of me than Aslan.

[/QUOTE] Obviuosly if I have a tesseract-space trunk in the continua-buggy, I can get one of those. Buf if I use Rufo’s black box I will no longer be using David Banner’s duffel, which means I won’t be able to justify playing the sad-walking-away-piano music as I leave each place I’m robbing, and in that case, I might as well have not hit Dave on the the back of the head with that crowbar and stolen the duffel. ---

Grab a Luggage from the Pratchettverse – then you have plenty of room to carry everyone’s souveniers. A phaser from The Original Series. I love the removable pocket phaser. Bond’s watch – the one with the laser. Sounds like you’ll have a lot of lightsabers. Can you grab me a blaster rifle instead? ---

> [@Skald\_the\_Rhymer](#): > > I’m thinking I’ll grab the One Ring right before it falls into the lava\* So, you’ve decided to be the epitome of ultimate evil? Sounds cool. Anyway, I wants me a Bag of Holding from AD&D. While you’re at it, pick me up a [Robe of Useful Items](http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Robe_of_Useful_Items), preferably with war dogs. ---

Skald, old bean, please pick up Muad’Dib’s weirding module for me. Note that it mustn’t be Paul’s, but Muad’Dib’s, and therefore the one he used against the Sardaukar after drinking the water of life. Barring that, I’d like Giskard Reventlov’s brain, but just before his obsession with the zeroth law, so there’ll be some derring-do required on your part. You will be aptly rewarded on your return. ---

I thought of more. Could you be a love and get me a batarang and Bruce Wayne’s autograph? If you can get 'rangs from others in the Batfamily, that’d be cool too. I’ll pack a meal for you to take (wouldn’t want our go-fer getting hungry =^\_^=) ---
