If you are blessed with fortune and have serious passion for Star Wars then here is a treat for you. Also, your hidden obsession for antique models can now find its way here. News is eBay would be scheduling an auction of one of four original T.I.E. Fighter models used while filming of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. If you are missing on the origin of the Fighter then it is the one that was attentively crashed with Darth Vader and permitted Luke to blow up the Death Star, assembled from resin and cannibalized parts picked from numerous model kits. They say auction won’t authoritatively commence until 1 August but if wish to be the first one to bid for it and partcipate actively in it then go ahead and mark a starting bid of $170,000. Yes, you heard it right…. $170 K…. pinch yourself.

I believe knowing Star Wars characters and developing warmth for them falls short as a reason to convince Star War fans for shelling out an anticipated bid amount of $150K-$200K. Measuring 18 x 14 inches and standing on a display base of 24-inches, the T.I.E Fighter Filming Model at eBay is an inviting opportunity for those counted crazy creatures. The proud winning bidder would be complemented with original camera news verifying the model’s usage. A small suggestion for the providential bidder: “It is worth installing in your dining room table and enjoy the enchanting clamors while chewing your food. .

Humans have a tendency to adore alien thingamajigs. Respecting that we at EliteChoice have been putting you across various forms of alien furniture viz. Giger Harkonnen Chair or unearthly tables. But seems this much is not enough to satiate your alien curiosity. Now the dude based in Russia is geared up to take the alien forms to new levels of mobility.

Batmobile Reaches eBay
Posted in Auctions, Automobile, Car on 6 May 2008

Batmobile

Those of you who are real 80’s baby then you can easily recall watching the live-action Batman show at Six Flag’s Great Adventure around 1989. That was a re-enactment of certain scenes from the flick, complete with an imitation of the Batmobile. But the one pictured above is above is a real deal. One ruthless eBay seller is gazing to get rid of one of the five actual Batmobiles from the Tim Burton classic demanding a sum of $500,000 at eBay. This operational coupe is structured like a spaceship that has tires attached onto it to make it street legal.

Batmobile

Some peep into the specks of the coupe: Measuring 20 feet long and 8 feet wide, this custom-built chassis has a Chevrolet 350 motor attached to it. To eneter into this vehicle, you have to jump from the top from where the canopy opens, likewise in the movie. Initially this coupe was owned by Warner Bros productions and thus the would-be buyer thinking to ink a deal has to sign a contract with them and some other legal items.
