Lost - it started out great, but by the end of season two it was… well to put it frankly: lost. But the series kept going, keeping audiences watching by complicating the storyline even further & by refusing to reveal any clues as to what the hell was really going on.

This ‘keep-them-guessing’ tactic can only keep your viewership for so long, & so eventually the series’ creators were forced to wrap it all up. Of course, by that stage the scope of their plot lines resembled something like a room full of caffeinated kittens - with way too many balls of string at their displosal.

So they went with the predictably lame alternate universe/it was just a dream/it was hell ending that all writers do when they’re in over their heads.

And now, in an attempt to make more money off the show, they’re doing what the Harry Potter Movie Franchise has been doing: selling off props to make up those profit margins.

Up for auction August 1st at 11:00 PDT is one of the hero Mattel Hoverboards used by Michael J. Fox in his most famous role as “Marty McFly” in the Robert Zemeckis classic 80s trilogy, Back to the Future. Two styles of Hoverboard were employed in the film – lightweight boards of styrofoam construction and thick and durable wood-based props – this example is the latter, and is recognized as the best example of all wood Hoverboards to have survived the rigors of filming.

Up for sale on PropStore is the M4 Rifle used by Will Smith’s character Dr. Robert Neville in I Am Legend.  While the movie isn’t any good, the rifle is a pretty bad ass prop that would make a cool addition to any collection.

The highly-customized M4 rifle, that never leaves Neville’s side in the movie, is a hero metal non-firing version of an M4 rifle with real M4 rifle parts. It is not capable of chambering or firing ammunition, and as such could be used by Will Smith without an armor on set. Everything that would function on a real M4 functions on this 8-pound replica: the retractable stock, removable magazine, working switches, charging handle, scope, and sling.  The surefire flashlight and laser on the forearm are also both practical, and functional. The light and laser unit can be removed from the forearm and swapped to the other side, and it’s seen in both positions throughout the film.

The rifle comes with proof of authenticity and is available for $8,999.
