New auctions launch today!

The second of four weeks of Battlestar Galactica auctions for “The Plan” movie launches today!  Over 200 items from a Raptor Flight Suit to some amazing costume art of costumes that were made just for “The Plan.”  And there are other great items throughout the auction.

There is the hero suicide note written by the Number Four Cylon Simon, who lived as a Colonial medic aboard the Cybele and had married Giana O’Neil.  He killed himself out of resurrection range rather than destroy his ship and family like Fleet Cavil ordered him to.

The Bloodied Quorum microphone from the Quorum room on Colonial One. The blood is the result of the massacre at the hands of Tom Zarek’s henchmen in Season Four’s episode “Blood on the Scales,” and the microphone is later used in “No Exit.”

The Caprica Buccaneers were conducting high-altitude training prior to the Cylon attack and afterward became resistance fighters led by Samuel T. Anders.  C-Bucs player Wheeler stuffed C4 explosive into a pyramid ball and added a detonator to make “a homemade grenade.”

Four ceramic Caprica Buccaneers mugs. Perfect for keeping beverages hot or for toasting a successful C-Bucs high-altitude training drill. Double version of the props seen in the telefilm “The Plan.”

The auctions start launching at 6:00pm Pacific time and will launch once every minute.  You can follow the conversation to on the Propworx Battlestar Galactica Prop Forum at http://forums.battlestarprops.com/ where Battlestar fans discuss the auctions as they launch.

These will be the last BSG auctions until next year!  After these auctions close next Tuesday, it will be another 33 days till the next auctions launch.

So have fun and buy your friends those much needed BSG props for Christmas!

The Hard Six

Season after season we have watched our “Six” grow from a very tall, beautiful, earnest Cylon into a very tall, beautiful…uh, well we watched her remain the same and we love her for it. We count on her predictability. We know her so well. Almost to the point where we could go shopping for her–if ever asked to do such a job. And if we did, we would definitively head straight for the skimpy, tight, backless, red dress section and start grabbing. Then we would obviously make our way to the halter tops. And finally, if time permits, a quick stop in the pointy boots area. That should about do it.

I cannot tell you how many days I have said to myself, “Can’t I just for ONCE see ‘Six’ in something a little different? Sleazier? With chains? Perhaps with longer hair?! Or darker even? I know, why not feather it?! And while we’re changing the hair, let’s change her man! Let’s give her someone else to sleep with. Enough of this Baltar business!” Now, I know I am not alone in thinking these things. You too? Knew it.

Well, someone must’ve heard us when creating “The Plan”. The solution came in the form of “Tough SIx”. (Who the folks around here refer to as “Hard Six”. Because of our affinity for Craps…and double entendre.) She is still our Tricia Helfer, with the same knockout face and body. The difference is this time, we don’t have to see her in bed with the suave and handsome Baltar. We get to see her in a torrid love affair with, um, a more distinguished partner. A wiser lover. Enjoying the company of a seasoned gentleman. Oh alright, she is having an affair with Cavil and it is borderline disturbing. But different and exciting nonetheless. And her hair is indeed, darker, longer and more feathered, just like we wanted. The woman even wears a leather bra and chains, what a difference!

Last week, we had the first of Tough Six’s outfits up in our auction. The outfit consisted of a sleeveless black button-down vest, leather black bra with silver studded cups, burgundy jeans with black acid wash, a leather choker-style collar with silver chains and stiletto-heeled ankle boots with straps. The item had 13 bidders, and ended up going for $1,055.50. I know the rest of you with your eye on that auction were greatly disappointed to miss out on owning it. I myself was eyeing that chain choker with envy and am sad to see it go. Well, because seeing you disappointed is the last thing I would ever want, I thought I would give you a preview of the two, that’s right TWO “Tough Six” outfits we have coming up in the next round of auctions. So you will still have your chance to get a piece of this unique side of “Six”.

The first is a black sheer mesh and lace strapless negligee with matching sheer lace panties. As if this skimpy ensemble wasn’t exciting enough already, included as an accessory is a black lace choker with three silver chains. There is no size information available, but judging from the looks of it, I would call it “teeny tiny”.

The second outfit is a shirt and leather jacket ensemble. A long-sleeved brick red sheer cotton shirt by Hugo Boss with button-down front. Size 36. The jacket is by Kenneth Cole Reaction with four front flap-style pockets. It is a size medium.

Keep watching the countdown clock.  Your day to own these items is rapidly approaching.

Happy bidding!

Let the Countdown Begin! And Catalogs available on eBay.

Well, week 1 of 4 of the “33″ auctions featuring items from “The Plan” is over and you now have less than 33 days to go before auction # 2.  Keep track of this with the 33 countdown clock on our home page.

Also, we have listed the first and second auction catalogs on eBay for a Buy It Now of $ 35 each, or get $ 10 off when you buy a set!.  So if you never got them, please go to eBay and check them out.

Note that we pack catalogs very well and ship UPS.  We had a lot of problems early on with a fulfillment provider shipping using USPS Medial Mail, or Priority Mail and so we ship these ourselves, wrapped in bubble wrap.  These are collectors items and as you all well know, we take our collectibles seriously!

Auctions Ending Tonight!

This is your last chance to bid on items from Battlestar Galactica props & costumes from Propworx on eBay for over a month!  As the auctions say “33″ refers to how long it will be before the second of four monthly eBay auctions, which will start 33 days from now.  Watch for our “33″ countdown clock on our home page.  You certainly don’t want to have to spend the next 33 days wishing you had won that coveted prop or costume, so check out this week’s auctions.

Some great bargains that are going WAY low!

Kai’s Caprica Buccaneers Jacket – Sure its got blood, but it has fake TV blood!

The Boy Outfit – He is a cut kid for Gods’ sake!  Don’t make him feel like you don’t like him as Cavil did.  You know how that ended!

Wheeler’s Caprica Buccaneers outfit -  Another distressed C-Buc costume!  Don’t let the resistance die in vain!

Galactica Metal Chair -  Even the chairs have cut corners!  These have gone as high as $ 400, so this is going to be a steal!

Mandala Ruins Images from “Rapture” -  Mandala recon photos have always done well, and these are on the low side now, so you might get a great deal.  And they are cool, and easily displayed.

Aurora Chair and Side Table -  These were the same chairs used on Colonial One, but this one is kitted out as a chair from the “Aurora” as seen in “The Plan”.  Comes with a Colonial One/Aurora side table. 

And finally, one of my favs…..

BSG CIC Computer Display Covering -  A great piece that will look awesome on your wall with a monitor behind it.

GOOD HUNTING!

Five Cylons for the price of one!

This week in the “33″ auctions” we have a special lot that we have not done before:  one of each of the five Cylon gunnery range targets that the fleet used to get their anger and aggression out on.    These targets have been sold separately before (just check out the Battlestar Galactica auction archive), but never as a set.   This may be your chance to get a great deal, or go in with your friends and split them up.

We saw Starbuck shooting out the Leoben target, and Kat took some shots at the Sharon target after the gyro thing that was meant to cause you to lose your equilibrium.  There were a few scenes where the Cylon Target was in the background as well.

When sold individually, the prices have ranged based on which character’s image was on the target.  The Cylon Centurion is the most popular and has sold for a low of $ 260, to a high of just over $ 1,000!  Simon is the least popular, but maybe more so now that his character is a lot more likable in “The Plan”.  Opps!  Did I just give a spoiler?

I think this lot could go in the $ 4-500 range and be a steal!  So chat with your buddies and pass around the hat.  This will be a great deal I am sure.

Also, there are one of each target available separately in case you just want one.  But be careful!  We have seen a lot of people moving to snipe programs over the last 6 months and that means prices are deceptively low till the last 10 seconds!  So bid early and bid your maximum.  You don’t want to get snipped for a few dollars and regret it!

Good hunting!

T-Minus 2 Days Until the “33 Auctions”

It’s almost the time for the launch of the “33 Auctions”, 4 monthly auctions, separated by 33 days each, that will be the last of the Battlestar auctions.  Each auction will include items from the Battlestar movie “The Plan,” out on DVD today, as well as items from the entire series.  Propworx latest BSG auction on eBay will kick off 2 days from now (tick tick).  So close!  So set your schedules accordingly and get ready for your last chance to purchase original props and costumes from the greatest Sci Fi series of all time.

In an attempt to make your mouse-clicking fingers tingle in anticipation, we thought we would give you a preview of a couple items that could be yours!

Of course, there are secrets we must keep for now.  We hardly want to be known as the “bearers of spoilers”.  “The Plan” tells the story of the Miniseries through Season Two of BSG from the Cylons‘ point of view.  It resolves many unanswered questions that have no doubt given BSG fans sleepless nights since the series ended.  Get ready to sleep like a baby again–”The Plan” is being released today on Blu-Ray and DVD!  Many of the items up for bid in this first week of auctions are directly related to the new twists that unfold in “The Plan.”  Keep an eye out, they are among the 200 items that will be launching Thursday.

In the meantime (without giving anything away), here are two items we are proud to be offering:

BATHROOM DOOR FROM GALACTICA

Bid on one of the doors from Galactica’s unisex bathroom!  It was used in the Miniseries and throughout all four seasons of the series, as well as being a prominent element in a very important scene in “The Plan.”  The door itself is a sheet metal covered wooden door with a sliding latch.  It is one of only four remaining.  Why not try for the whole set?!!  This piece is not only iconic and a great conversation piece, but impressive in its size and design.

COACH’S CLIPBOARD AND GAME PLANS

The C-Bucs and their coach were involved in “high altitude training” at the exact moment of the Cylon attack on Caprica, and thus, survived.  How fortunate for them…or was it?!!!  “The Plan” gives a detailed account of this pyramid team turned resistance fighters in the weeks following the Cylon occupation.  This prop, used specifically in “The Plan,” is Coach’s plastic clipboard featuring a Buccaneers logo on the back.  It includes one full-color page of eight plans for plays.  Since the C-Bucs play such a prominent role in “The Plan,” there are many new items used by the team that will be offered in the auctions.  This happens to be one of our favorites–very striking and in excellent condition.  Also, to the delight of our “nerd sides”, the game plans themselves appear to be an homage to the classic Nintendo game, “Tecmo Bowl”.

Stay tuned to this site for more information on each week’s auction, and join the conversations on our forum!

“The 33 Auctions”

Propworx is proud to announce the last of the Battlestar Galactica eBay auctions, “The 33 Auctions”. These auctions will feature items from the new Battlestar Galactia DVD movie, The Plan, as well as items from the Battlestar Galactica series.

The Plan tells the story of the Cylons, the Fleet and the resistance fighters on Caprica from the Cylon point of view. It spans the time from the mini-series through Season 2 and explains and expands on many of the Cylon story lines.

“The 33 Auctions” will launch every 33 days, featuring a wide variety of sought after props, costumes and set pieces—the last Battlestar Galactica items EVER to be offered for auction by Propworx. In addition to the iconic props from the series, Propworx is pleased to include props and costume specifically from The Plan, which will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray October 27th.

The first of “The 33 Auctions” will follow The Plan’s DVD release, and will start on Thursday, October 29th. It will continue until Thursday, November 5th. From there, the auctions will take place every 33 days for a total of 4 weeks.

The dates of “The 33 Auctions” are as follows:

eBay Auction Week One:      October 29, 2009 – November 5, 2009

eBay Auction Week Two:      December 8, 2009 – December 15, 2009

BSG Auction # 2

Battlestar Galactica is near and dear to many of our hearts.  Certainly, it launched a new career for me.  It also ranks second behind Star Trek as the biggest prop & costume category in the hobby.  No other show, other than Star Trek, has as many items in circulation as does BSG thanks to 2 live auctions and 26 weeks of eBay auictions.

The two live auctions were hailed by many as the best prop & costume auctions ever held.  That was due to the attention to detail and creating a fun environment that NBC/Universal and Propworx strived for.  One area this was very evident in was the auction space itself.  Every item was available for preview and we tried to create a museum like feel to the space.

Here are two of my favorite photos from the second BSG auction.  The first is a photo we took of the preview area, which was made to represent the Galactica hanger deck.  It included custom made struts that mimicked the look of the Galactica hanger deck.  Becky Casey spearheaded the effort to get these built, and they really made the space look amazing!

And of course the photo of The Colonial Fleet, the biggest and best BSG fan group. They came in costume to each of the live auctions and added a great sense of community and passion to the events.

Good Hunting!

Thanks to everyone and stay tuned for more!

First of all, thank you to everyone who has purchased an item from us over the past 7 months!  I know I speak for NBC/Universal as well as all of us at Propworx, when I say it has been both a pleasure to help you all, and a real honor to get the chance to preserve these assets in a fashion befitting the greatest Sci Fi show of all time!  The people at NBC/Universal, Kurt Ford, Becky Casey and Todd Sharp, are all appreciative of you fans for wanting to take home a part of the show and helping to make these the best prop & costume auctions ever. And your support means that it is quite likely that Kurt Ford will get approval to do a limited number of auctions of assets that we have saved from “The Plan”, the Battlestar Galactica movie that will be released on DVD and Blu Ray this October, and be on Sci Fi channel in November. The Plan will be an awesome event, and we hope you will all be part of the auctions. Just keep reading the Propworx site for news.

In the mean time, please become part of the Battlestarprops.com forums! There are hundreds of BSG prop & costume collectors who are trading stories and photos of their collections and even selling items between them on our Black Market! Just click on the link on our home page.

Thanks to you all, Propworx is now a major force in the industry, and our dedication to the integrity of the assets, serving you in the best way possible, and producing a fun event, not just selling stuff, has helped raise the expectations of what is acceptable in the Hollywood memorabilia auction industry. We have other properties in the works, and a new Propworx web site will be launching shortly, so you can catch all the news of our upcoming projects. In the mean time, follow us on Twitter, where we are Propworx (I know, a big surprise there).

Thanks again!
