Arguably one of the greatest episodes of Stargate SG-1 is the 100th episode, “Wormhole X-Treme!” And arguably one of the greatest scenes from the episode is the introductory scene of the X-Treme team, hiding behind foam rocks and firing their guns. This week Propworx is selling one of the blasters from the episode!
Look at this thing! It is obvious that the design is meant to be an outrageous parody of sci-fi series like SG-1, classic Trek and Lost in Space. The hokey nature of the sci fi genre has created a great stigma, and this SG-1 episode (not to mention the gun itself) like to flirt with this notion.
Visit the eBay page to check out the blaster now, and don’t forget the 49 other items available this week through the Propworx Stargate auctions! Below is a complete production and technical description for the item.
