Here's something guaranteed to shake up the replica industry! We just got a press release that says Disney and Lucasfilm have partnered with Pinewood Studios UK, who made the props for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, to open a movie-accurate prop shop.

In this shop, you can purchase many replicas from Tfa including Chewbacca's Bowcaster, Rey's staff, and even the melted helmet of Darth Vader!

But this stuff isn't cheap. The Vader helmet pictured above (which is a limited edition of 500) rings in at $3,500 American! That's a steep price, but considering it's coming straight from the studio that created it, you can guarantee the quality will be that of the film.

Other items, like Rey and Kylo Ren's lightsaber hilts, seem affordable (both $1,250 each) when you look at other lightsaber dealers in the market, so if anything, this could lead to some more competitive pricing overall!

One downside I'm seeing...
