@jwcph thing is, that jacket is probably crew stuff which makes it rare. I doubt it's merchandise.

@jwcph ooh the logo from the dropship, nice.

There's nothing stopping you from wearing it, it's technically yours. 😄

It seems that prop collecting is like an expensive swapping club. If you look at the auction catalogues as much as I do, the same props go around in rotation as the sellers want a change.

When I first saw one of the BttF2 hoverboards in the catalogue, it was like "Wow!"

Now it's, "oh hoverboard again. Tsk." 😂

@UKFilmNerd Exactly - including the "We Endanger Species" tagline, which isn't actually visible enough to read in the movie but Ron Cobb gets a chuckle over it in the making-of, which I love 😂

@UKFilmNerd I agree, it looks & sounds like a circle-of-stewardship thing - Adam Savage has said on several occasions that he feels like he's just caring for his collected props for a while, until they pass on to other collectors. For a unique piece I'd say that means keeping it as close to its original condition as possible, but personally I would feel differently about merchandise; if someone wants to keep that in mint condition, fine, but I would use it.

@UKFilmNerd I think you're right - I would still call that merch, but yes, limited edition merch 😁

@UKFilmNerd I do, in fact, have a pair of replica Agent sunglasses by Blinde from "The Matrix: Reloaded", which I wear on a regular basis 😁
