You and me both, Holt. I've been looking for one here lately myself and I haven't found any that I thought looked decent and were in the price range I can afford at the moment. I was even willing to buy one unpainted to save on the cost and do that myself. They always have some on Ebay but some of them look cheap while others are waaay to expensive. If you find any good deals let me know.  By the way I didn't get a chance to tell you I took a look at your newest Back to the Future letter props and they look excellent. Back to the Future 2 was on TV the other night and that made me think of your props.  |

I saw bttf 2 aswell on tv the other week Eric Yeah, I wouldn't mind finding a unpainted one and doing it myself also. So far though I haven't run into anyone that's offering it for sale that way. So far it's looking like Indy Magnoli has the best offer and makes the best version. He offers them in different "styles". The cheapest is the Gold Painted version and that's $150. The prices go up frome there. The highest is the Gold plated one and that's around $400 or more. That one is beautiful though and well worth the price if you've got that kind of cash to spend. I'll keep looking though and if you see anything let me know. |

Oh, you did find one....and even better your getting it for a trade? So I'm guessing it's not someone who sells the props it's a gear collector like us that's doing this?
As far as the gold plating goes that's the nicest "look" you can have for the Idol in my opinion. Now if your going for screen accurate I'd say it's a combo of the leafing and the spray. When Belloq holds the Idol up it looks kind of dull and not as shiny as the gold plated versions.
My own personal choice IF I had the cash would be the gold plated version.
