NBC Universal Television, DVD, Music and Consumer Products Group and Propworx have teamed up to auction off props from Sci Fi Channel’s “Battlestar Galactica.”
The props, costumes and set pieces will be auctioned live and online beginning Jan. 16 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, Calif.
Preview day on Jan. 16 will feature panel discussions with the creative team that developed the props.
The live auction of hundreds of items from the show’s first three seasons, including a life-size Viper, Caprica Six’s red dress and President Laura Roslin’s desk, will take place Jan. 17-18 and will be available for electronic bidding at www.battlestarprops.com.
Two hundred items then will be offered on eBay Jan. 20 for bidding Jan. 23-30. Additional items will be put up for auction weekly with the airing of each “Battlestar Galactica” episode.
