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!

Not one, but TWO, amazing Jaffa costumes are on the auction block between now and Sunday night. The first is the classic Jaffa suit of armor, with all the trimmings. The second is a red Teal’c suit of armor from the Season Five premiere, “Enemies”!

The Jaffa served as the footsoldiers of the Goa’uld throughout Stargate SG-1. Few Jaffa were loyal to their gods after Season Eight, when the System Lord Collective was dethroned from its perch thanks to a galaxy-wide battle against the Replicators.

The Red Teal’c costume, featured on the right, is incomplete, so we have added standard Jaffa components to the suit which you can have painted to match the rest of the costume if you so desire! The “red” comes from Sokar, a Goa’uld introduced in Season Three. Apophis absorbed Sokar’s forces into his own in the two part episode, “Jolinar’s Memories” and “The Devil You Know”.

The uniform to the left is considered the more iconic suit, used throughout the series..

Head over to eBay and place your bids before these great pieces march off forever!
