Nyt lähti joukkotuhoase halvalla – Star Wars: Jedin paluun Kuolontähti myytiin 256 000 dollarilla

Profiles In Historyn huutokaupassa on tarjolla melkoinen määrä elokuvamemorabiliaa.

Profiles In History -huutokauppasivustolla on taas myynnissä Icons & Legends In Hollywood -nimen alla useissa legendaarisissa elokuvissa käytettyjä esineitä aina Alienista Ben-Hurriin. Kovin halvalla tavara ei liiku, sillä esimerkiksi toissa päivänä meni kaupaksi Star Wars: Jedin paluussa nähty Death Star, jonka myyntihinta oli vaatimattomat 256 000 dollaria.

Sälää on tarjolla vielä runsaasti, eli siitä vaan huutamaan.

Huutokauppasivuston katalogi kuvailee myytyä Kuolontähteä englanniksi näin:

”Lot 779. Industrial Light and Magic “Death Star” model from Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. Spectacularly detailed studio model miniature “Death Star” made by the artists and craftspeople at ILM who designed and created the original iconic Star Wars ships, weapons, technology and universe.
