Still having phantom pains over the end of Lost? Can't wait until the final season DVD gets released on Aug. 24? Then head over to the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on the weekend of Aug. 21 and participate in the Lost set auction. To say everything must go is an understatement: If you want to purchase Hurley's Mr. Cluck's costume from season two, you can. But which nine items must any true fan (with thousands of dollars in disposable income) add to their Lost collection? Read on for a handy buying guide.
What better metaphor for the ending of Lost than some upset fan buying themselves Claire's squirrel baby? Shiver at the creepy fur-like appendages and button-eyes and add the also available Locke-built crib to this stuffed animal to complete the set. Unfortunately, Emile de Ravin's blonde fright wig is nowhere to be found.
Suggested bid: $300-$500
Movieline bid: $350
Lost fans were obsessed with the four-toed statue from the season two finale. That its origins where never explained -- and that its destruction occurred because of a flying ship (true) -- might have dimmed the excitement, but what living room wouldn't look better with a 5 foot tall foot?
Suggested bid: $400-$600
Movieline bid: $405
Ah, the original hatch blast door -- where so much of the mystery of Lost started. This roughly 2×3 door is actually made of wood and painted to look like metal. It also has the cursed numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) stamped onto its side. That you can make it in your garage, however, seems to hurt the bidding process.
Suggested bid: $1000-$1500
Movieline bid: $200
If you can wipe away your tears for long enough to actually make a bid, you'll be able to own Charlie's Drive Shaft ring -- the same ring he left for Claire and Baby Aaron when he went off to meet his death. You can't put a price on that kind of genuine emotion, unless you're running a Lost set auction.
Suggested bid: $1000-$1500
Movieline bid: $1000
This is a no-brainer: Hell yes any Lost fan would want a piece of Oceanic flight 815. More intrepid bidders can even purchase a row of plane seats from the doomed flight as well.
Suggested bid: $2000-$3000
Movieline bid: $3000
Dharma Beer is fun and all -- and these are the actual cans Sawyer used during the episode "Tricia Tanaka is Dead"! -- but considering you can make one yourself by using paper and a beer can, spending $200 seems excessive. Still, since Josh Holloway touched these, it might be worth going the extra mile.
Suggested bid: $200-$300
Movieline bid: $5.99
Consider this the bargain of the century. Locke's coffin from the season three finale is available and the bidding starts at the low price of $300. For reference, they wanted $200 for the empty beer cans. Sold!
Suggested bid: $300-$500
Movieline bid: $500
Another steal. Throw out that IKEA purchased Poang armchair and replace it with Sawyer's first class reading throne. You too can read Watership Down (also available for purchase) and make snarky comments to your friends as they pass by.
Suggested bid: $200-$300
Movieline bid: $300
Like any good auction, the deals come at the end. Desmond and Penny -- the Lost version of Romeo and Juliet -- can forever remain together on your mantle in photograph form. Yeah, you could freeze an HD screencap of this pic, blow it up and print it out, but think of all the effort that would take.
Suggested bid: $300-$500
Movieline bid: $300
Titus Welliver's character never received proper billing on Lost beyond being called "The Man in Black". It was reported after the finale that he was known as "Samuel," and here's the confirmation: A set chair for Welliver with the name "Samuel" underneath.
Suggested bid: $200-$300
Movieline bid: $250
