Famous Movie And TV Props Auction, Previewed At Comic-Con

$1.75m worth of original film & television props and costumes to be sold via live auction, including Marty Mcfly’s Hoverboard, with highlights previewing at Comic Con International in San Diego July 23rd – 27th.

Prop Store is proud to announce its first live auction event produced in partnership with the UK’s Leading Cinema Chain Vue Entertainment. In the most exciting sale of its kind, over 375 original film and television props and costumes will go under the hammer in October at Vue’s flagship cinema in Westfield, London.

Prop Store’s display at this year’s Comic Con International—the annual entertainment mega-convention held in San Diego each July—will include a wide range of memorable props and costumes from the upcoming auction. The show runs July 23 – July 27 and attendees will be able to hear the stories behind them through discussions with prop experts Stephen Lane, Brandon Alinger and Tim Lawes.

An original prop Marty McFly hoverboard from Back to the Future: Part II, with an estimated auction price of £15,000 ($25,700) is just one of the highlights of the display. Con-goers will also see an original Batmobile model miniature used in Batman Forever estimated at £20,000 ($34,200), an original prop Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory estimated at £15,000 ($25,700), Michael Keaton’s battle-damaged bat suit from Batman estimated at £10,000 ($16,100) and C-3PO’s hands from Star Wars estimated at £8,000 ($13,700).

These items will be offered for sale at Prop Store’s live auction, presented in partnership with Vue Cinemas, in London October 16, 2014.
Also on display at the Prop Store display booth (#3845) will be a key selection of assets from the film Pacific Rim. The Pacific Rim items display at Comic Con, along with several hundred others, will be available in an online Pacific Rim prop and costume sale in late August.

Additional information is available at the Prop Store booth, where fans can also enter in drawings for daily prize give-a-ways, including original props and costumes.

Brandon Alinger, COO at Prop Store, says “We’ve assembled a fantastic collection of material for our October 2014 live auction. The auction is being held in London at Vue Cinemas’ flagship location. One of the many benefits of working with Vue, who are one of the UK’s largest movie theatre chains, is that we can host a two-week public preview of many of the auction lots. But if you can’t wait until October or you aren’t based in London, we’re inviting interested bidders and fans to see some of the highlights of the auction at Comic Con. Our Comic Con display also present a preview of items to be sold in our online Pacific Rim auction, which launches at the end of August. We’re excited to be working with Legendary on the Pacific Rim sale and have some great material to showcase on that front as well.”
