I really like this. I hope at $250, it's more than plastic but a nice replica prop. if so, I'm in.

I think one/fifty would be the limit, for me. Looks cool, though. :D

I've always loved the Mystic Seer. I think I need to get one of these to assist me in making administrative decisions.  ;)

General, then you could use it as a tax write-off.

    I remember seeing what appeared to be the original, or a great replica in the lobby area near the elevator in Twighlight Zone Tower of Terror ride.  If I remember right, the color was a flat dark red and it was covered in dust and on a shelf about ten feet up with some other Zone props.   $250 looks a little strong for me too but it would make a great piece to add to my stuff.

Ugh..I was just there on Monday (California Adventure) and did not see that!

Ah....thanks Jethro. I have to admit. I was amazed at how well Rod Serling was integrated into the ride

The ride has several loading areas and each has some variation in props. the same with the landing area for the elevators. I would have loved to see a documentary about them creating the rides and recreating the props.

I'm a huge Twilight Zone fan. But I have to admit, I can't fully endorse that ride. It's perfect up until it drops you. I have never been so scared by an amusement park ride before.  >:(

That is awesome!

It'll be another reason for me to go around acting as cool as William Shatner!

There was a Disney (Channel) movie made that I think helped to introduce/ Promote the ride, of the same name. Might be worth a look to see what the added value items are on the DVD

I collect fortune teller items, so I'm def. in for one if it's not a piece of plastic junk.  If it actually functioned, that would be amazing. You can buy a real vintage fortune teller machine for around that price, if not just a little bit more.
