Disintegrate Your Wallet With Boba Fett’s ‘Empire Strikes Back’ Carbine Blaster

Reading time 1 minute

There’s never been a better time to be a fan with deep pockets, a lot of room to display things, and the burning desire to personally own pieces of Hollywood history. The latest Propstore auction is putting an iconic Star Wars weapon up for sale, and though it’s not quite as well-known as Darth Vader’s lightsaber (which recently sold for over $3 million), it’s definitely a top-tier item: Boba Fett’s EE-3 Carbine Blaster, wielded by the late Jeremy Bulloch on-screen in 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back.

This bounty is estimated to go for $462,000-$924,000, especially since, according to Propstore, it is “believed to be the only original hero screen-used blaster” of its kind in existence.

If you have a couple more coins rattling around, Propstore’s upcoming auction—taking place December 5 to 7 in London, but bidding online can happen from anywhere; details here—will also feature such treasures as the fedora Harrison Ford donned in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (estimate: $198,000-$396,000, chilled monkey brains not included); a “stunt axe” used by Jack Nicholson’s Jack Torrance in 1980’s The Shining, which presumably can’t actually smash a door but would still be a hell of a conversation piece ($66,000-$132,000).

The extensive list also includes Tobey Maguire’s symbiote suit (with lenses) from 2007’s Spider-Man 3, though you must provide your own dance moves ($99,000-$198,000); and, a sentimental favorite, the map dubloon clutched by tweenage hero Mikey (Sean Astin) throughout 1985’s The Goonies ($52,800-$105,600).

There will be an open-to-the-public public preview exhibition November 25-26, also in London; you can check out details here.
