You've seen qui-gon jinn lightsabres, yes?
How about owning the real thing that Liam Neeson used?
I was more tempted by the RoboCop suit on offer.
The guide price is only GBP2,000-3,000. You could probably make that back in
public appearances.
The auction is 12th December.
The Robocop costume is:

I thought that this was the same auction as the lightsaber, but I can't find
it in the catalogue, so perhaps there's another one. Most of the catalogue
is fairly dull, but it perks up around p17 with some 1940s Zorro gear, and
on p18 there's armour from "Ben Hur" which looks cute.
p19 has the "Pink Panther" gemstone, p22 has costumes from Superman and
Supergirl, as well as guns from Flash Gordon. p23 has more Flash Gordon
stuff, and a WHOLE BUNDLE OF INDIANNA JONES KIT! (but you can expect to fork
out 6 grand for the bullwhip...) p24 has more serious stuff, with the
Robocop outfit, and Highlander's sword!!!! (est. 3 grand) p25 will sell you
a life-sized alien from X-Files. p26 has Austin Powers and Sleepy Hollow
stuff, and finally, on p27 there's some Gladiator weaponry.
Get your bids in now....
