So today I went down to China Town in LA since my sister-in-law from Idaho is visiting for a few days and she loves swords. They have a great import swordshop there. So I walked in and low and behold there is a replica of Violet's Sword.  My heart was pounding so hard when the guy asked me if I wanted to look at it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was scared to ask him the price...$75...SOLD!!! I'll get pictures as soon as I am able (most likely not until the week end). My sis-in-law want's to go see Pirates right now. BTW, she got the Blade sword. |

Congrats to you both! I was bidding on props from the movie ... the "real" one(s) of that went for $600+ and the funny thing is, yours is probably better-made ... I collect only props that are actual items. From UV I got a coffee mug.

Wow, that sounds awesome Jen - yes I'd definitely like to see some pics!  Aedh, did they ever sell off EQ props or were they all sent for summary combustion? |

I'll check into that Mira ... props and costumes, especially custom-made items, are very often sold off by major studios, as they tend to be profitable if the movie was popular at all, and to have a limited lifespan.

Wow, that sounds awesome Jen - yes I'd definitely like to see some pics! I just found out that my kids got into my digital camera and it's missing some pieces so I'm not sure if or when I'll get pictures. Also, Mirabilis, please check your PM. |

Congrats to you both! I was bidding on props from the movie ... the "real" one(s) of that went for $600+ . Those were the "foam" ones. The one and only plastic with metal core one that I saw on there went for over $2000. They never even offered a full metal one on Ebay from the film. They did have a couple of reproductions though. I got one of the props from the film, Daxus' ring. |
