The funniest thing being, now, if they had to remake the damn things, 
they could just buy up a mess of them from these people, complete with 
replicas of the original "film equipment parts", used to make the ones 
in the first movie, and a whole mess of custom ones, you can even get 
powder coated, colored, etc., how ever you want them... The only damn 
thing you can't find, a reasonably priced set of tunics and robes. lol
