Featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not!
From a galaxy far, far away to planet Krypton, believe it or not, we’ve obtained one heck of an intergalactic collection from the Profiles in History Hollywood Auction!
We are now proud owners of the original Star Wars lightsaber that was used by, yes, Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, in Star Wars: A New Hope and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Might we add, this lightsaber is going to go quite well with our incredible Star Wars collection. It includes hair from Chewbacca’s suit, Michelangelo’s “Pieta” reinterpreted with Chewbacca cradling Han Solo made from duct tape, and the Millennium Falcon made with nearly one million matchsticks!

Enterprise Bridge come to auction, and we are overjoyed to own it.
