From Luke Skywalker's Blaster to Catwoman's Mask: Check Out a Sampling of the Classic Movie Props That Are Up for Auction

Why let movie stars have all the fun wearing awesome clothes and wielding amazing weapons? On Oct.16, the bi-continental one-stop prop shop, Prop Store, is hosting a one-of-a-kind auction of 400 costumes, collectibles, and other tchotchkes culled from some of the most popular movies and TV shows of the past four decades, from 'Alien' to 'Star Wars' and everything in between. The auction will be unfolding in real time in London, but participants on this side of the Atlantic can place their bids online or via phone by registering here. And if you'd like to preview of what's for sale (so you can balance your bank account accordingly), visit the full online catalogue.
