If I had a spare $24,000.00....
Honest, I'm not amazed at the interest... there's a builder's club and an incredible history of the two (one 'hero', and 'stunt') B9s built. The 'original' was bastardized for a Sat morning TV show and ruined. The 'stunt' model was a mess to begin with, but purchased by Paul Allen (THAT Paul Allen) restored, and placed in a museum.
The repros at this site are fully licenced and EXACT copies, using the original molds. The designer of the B9 also designed Robbie, from Forbidden Planet.
I'll stop now.... gotta lie down....
