I also collect movie props... This started on Feb 21st, 2003 when I found an original Hellraiser 'cube' for sale on Ebay... Only, this wasn't a cube, it was a sphere. I hadn't seen the movie it was used in, but it looked damn cool, so I got it. I picked up an original animation cell from 'Heavy Metal' a few years later, then in July of 2007 I got about 10 different props at an auction... Now I'm hooked. :)

I also grab/make a few replica/reproduction props here and there, and I'm in the process of building my own R2-D2 from Star Wars.
