In the meantime, we have many Stargate props and set dec pieces available for sale up in our storefront! Also available is our hardcover auction catalog, now available for pre-order! Check it all out!

You may have noticed that no new items have been posted for sale this week. Don’t fret! We will be resuming our weekly eBay auctions for Stargate this coming Sunday night (US time), September 5, with Week 32. One hundred items will be up for sale!

In the meantime, if you would like to pick up a prop this week, check out our online storefront. You’ll find 15 items up there, not including our wonderful auction catalogs!

Thanks so much for sticking with us over the course of this year. We’ll be seeing you in Seattle!

Week 31 is drawing to a close on eBay, and with it will close some precious items which have been visiting our auctions for a number of weeks.

The four items listed above — A green SG uniform with patches, pair of bantos rods, Ronon’s hero sword, and Sheppard’s leather jacket, will be the last ones sold on eBay. If you want one of these and miss your chance on Sunday, your last great hope will be to find them in our live auctions.

We at Propworx have been proud to make these items available to you! We thank you for sticking with us over the past half year as we’ve rolled out our Stargate inventory. And if you’re just now joining us, we’re glad you could make it!

The first live auction will take place next month, September 24-26 at the Science Fiction museum in Seattle. If you can’t bid in person, stay tuned to stargate.propworx.com for ways to bid online!

September 24 – 26, 2010

LOS ANGELES — August 23, 2010 —Propworx, in association with MGM, announces The Official Stargate Prop and Costume Auctions at the Experience Music Project|Science Fiction Museum in Seattle, Washington to be held September 24 – 26, 2010 and live online at www.propworx.com. This is the first in a series of two live auctions featuring items from Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, with the final auction in 2011 concluding a year-long run of online and live Stargate auctions.

Over 850 lots of props, costumes, production artwork, concept drawings, and set pieces will be on display Friday, September 24, culminating in the auction on September 25 – 26.  Most notable among the lots is the Lot 51: SG-1 Travel Stargate used during location shooting of Stargate SG-1 and in the second season of Stargate Universe. This huge prop is made of fiberglass and mounted on a welded steel frame and features working lights behind the chevrons and is 22 feet tall.

Lot 560: M.A.L.P or Mobile Analytic Laboratory Probe vehicle used by Stargate Command to investigate alien planets before sending in a live team, was used in Stargate SG-1 Season One and would make the perfect addition to a collector’s display of the gate. Lot 590 is a fully articulating animatronic Asgard puppet portraying Thor and numerous other Asgard throughout the most recent years of SG-1 and Atlantis. This was the final version of the puppet to be created by the Stargate special effects team and measures four feet in length!
