Blade Runner fans have a new reason to celebrate ahead of the launch of the forthcoming sequel series.
More than 300 props, costumes and set decoration items from Blade Runner 2049 will be heading to an online auction from entertainment memorabilia auctioneer Propstore, in association with Alcon Entertainment. Blade Runner 2049: The Final Online Auction will run through Oct. 14, and bids can be made through the auction link, with registration currently open.
Denis Villeneuve directed the 2017 Oscar-winning sequel to Ridley Scott‘s 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner. The follow-up feature starred Ryan Gosling as young blade runner Officer K, who seeks to track down former blade runner Rick Deckard, with Harrison Ford reprising his role from the original movie. Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Carla Juri, Dave Bautista and Jared Leto rounded out the cast.

The auction’s notable items include Dr. Ana’s (Juri) animatronic memory orb, with bidding set to begin at $35,000. Also hitting the block is K’s complete costume, including the signature coat that Gosling wore, which is screen-matched to the fight with Sapper Morton (Bautista) at Sapper’s farm, with bids opening at $20,000.
Additionally, Rick Deckard’s (Ford) stunt LAPD 2019 PKD detective special blaster is expected to sell for around $15,000, while Luv’s (Hoeks) main blaster is valued at around $8,000. The turtleneck and clear yellow jacket that de Armas wore as Joi carry an expected value of roughly $5,000.

Warner Bros. released Blade Runner 2049 theatrically in October 2017. The film underperformed at the box office, collecting $259 million globally, but was well-received critically and earned five Oscar nominations, including wins for best cinematography and visual effects. The franchise that is based on Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? continues to expand with Amazon’s Prime Video series Blade Runner 2099 that premieres Nov. 25 and stars Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer.
