moondrome Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Perhaps you don't have ( at least) 400.000 $ to participate on this auction, but maybe you want to take a look at very detailed photos of this x-wing, as a reference. Here's the link. https://entertainment.ha.com/itm/movie-tv-memorabilia/props/screen-matched-hero-red-leader-red-one-x-wing-starfighter-filming-miniature-with-articulating-servo-controlled-wings-and-l/a/7278-89464.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Disciple Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Nice find there. There some interesting stuff on that site up for auction. Liking the Visitor's uniform & weapons to go with it, along with the Battlestar Galactica TOS Colonial Warrior uniform & helmet, even the William Shatner screen worn away team overcoat from The Wrath of Khan. Shame I aint got a few grand, id love to own them for cosplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misrule Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) The Shatner wig is a definite gem. Could end up the most expensive model sold from a film if it does well, I think the Enterprise D is the current one to beat at half a million Edit- Looking around a pyro model of Red Leader adjusted to look like Red 3 went for $2.4 million last year. And thats just a pyro, this one's the original. Edited September 15, 2023 by Misrule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondrome Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 The xwing and the other items were part of the collection of someone who worked on special effects in Hollywood. Here's the story : https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/sep/11/star-wars-x-wing-model-rare-found-auction-heritage-auctions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The auction has now concluded. Media reports are that the Red Leader X-Wing fighter made a whopping $3.1 million dollars. I didn't note a final price for William Shatner's wig being mentioned in the several reports I viewed: maybe those details were cut by a news editor, so that strand of the story needs to be investigated by someone else. I hope they get to the roots of the eventual price: just the bald facts will do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 She’s also on record as saying it was incredibly uncomfortable, sweaty and hot to work in, impossible for bathroom visits and the engineering around the chest may have had the desired effect on the outside but was rather less successful from the inside… which is why normal clothes aren’t made that way. It was redesigned in later seasons… I don’t think anyone’s buying THAT for cosplay… best, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty, naughty.... very naughty (as The Shamen once sung). The remarkable thing is, in every interview I've seen involving Jeri Ryan, she comes across as extremely down-to-earth, ego-free and self-effacing. Having said all that, she is an actor, of course..... but I like to think she's the real deal. Chris. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim_UK Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Now I spent a couple of million on it time to put it into a box and up the loft. 😋 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
