While we're out here at WonderCon, patrolling the halls of fandom and looking for good science fiction action, there's a piece of super-sized memorabilia on eBay that you might want to pick up: a full-sized replica of Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still. It was created by Fred Barton Productions ("Celebrity Robots Brought To Life!") and although it's a local pickup only in the San Francisco area, the thing is already up to over four thousand bucks. Our favorite line from the auction is, "Although the controller is included, the robot hasn't been activated in years. It's unknown if it's in working condition." Come on you fool, fire that sucker up! Klaatu barada nikto! [Thanks Peter!] More »

The Australian government might have come up with the most brilliant prison plan ever: use hardened criminals to churn out replicas of science fiction props, and then sell them on eBay. Sadly, they aren't using the money to fund the development of robot prison guards — all proceeds are going to charity. The fools. Why not keep that dough and buy yourself a high tech lair? More »

eBay member Prattesgirl has a feedback score of 29, and 100% positive feedback. Apparently those are the qualities, along with $131,700, that allowed her to buy the last Sky Commuter prototype test aircraft in existence yesterday after 82 nail-biting bids. If $131,000 seems a little pricey for this retro-futuristic airborne wonder, consider this: it cost Boeing $6 million in research and development costs back in the '80s before the project was discontinued, and Prattesgirl gets all of the research, as well as all rights, to the project as well as the vehicle itself for her money. What next? Sky Commuter: The Movie? Write that down, Michael Bay! The last Concept Sky Commuter aircraft in Existence [eBay.com] More »
