Sit down for this one, fellas. Because if you’re anything like me, you might actually blackout. An entire array of Hollywood memorabilia is set to be auctioned – and among them is none other than Maverick’s helmet from Top Gun.

Worn by Tom Cruise himself – who portrayed fighter pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the original 1986 film – just imagine what you could do with this god-tier piece of kit; what it could soon be within your everyday life. The hottest sesh helmet around, the ultimate mantlepiece flex, history’s greatest popcorn bowl – there are no limits.

How much will this cost? Estimates have placed it at a value between US$50,000 and US$70,000. But keep in mind this is an auction – meaning a hearty round of bidding may drive the price up. Best fire up that group chat to rally the troops for a collective investment.
