So I finally get my hands on the new Previews catalog, and while looking through the back pages, I spot the above item. It’s the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Slayer’s Stake Prop Replica, hand-carved from real wood, with a satin-lined case and engraved plaque, for only $99.99. So help me, if I find out that you’ve bought this, I’m going to go to your house and punch you.*
Also available in this month’s Previews are the Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy Vogon Desk Set Movie Prop Replicas. You can get a Vogon Mug, a Vogon Pen & Stand, or a Vogon Stapler, for a mere $49.99 apiece. I’m not 100% certain that these are functional items…well, I suppose the Vogon Mug would have to be, unless it’s actually a solid block of material with no space to pour liquid into. However, even if they aren’t functional, the solicitation info states that “office supplies make for lively flashbacks” — to the movie, presumably.
While these are mighty contenders for the title of Nerdiest Object Ever, this item, previously discussed, is still the reigning champion.
