Lost in Space collection

This is my collection of Lost in Space models and props that I've collected since the show first premiered in 1965. Some are at my home and the rest are in another building downtown. In the 10 months since I made this video I've created many more dioramas that I added to the collection which can be seen here. • Bill's Lost in Space C...

Fantastic. I thought I was the only person in the world to love Lost in Space crazily.

[@dougmorris9317]

Seeing those consoles in the Jupiter 2 was amazing enough... but when you stepped OUTSIDE the ship...! My brain's a bit blown, Bill I'm in real awe. I'm a 60 year old man who feels 12 years old again. Thanks for sharing all this! 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Same age now, but 14 1/2, in re-runs.

Best collection I've ever seen. The time, effort and money you put into this collection is beyond words.

I'm glad to see that he's still a kid at heart. What a fun atmosphere that must be .

[@zipperboy2]

You, SIR, have completely blown mind !!! It's an absolutely ASTOUNDING collection. I am stunned by ur passion. I so wish I could see this in person 😮😮

[@dunning234]

Thanks so very much. Wonderful show. I am so amazed. Animals make life better. Cat loves you.

[@williamhedges1519]

She and my other cats always like to join me when I'm there. They are great companions.

[@atothezeezee]

A masterpiece! I couldn't stop smiling.

[@micktaylor7994]

Wow that’s a memory and a dream to hold on to. My favourite show as a kid and well done for preserving it

[@tommydronesmaaddaaah9911]

What a fabulous collection, thanks for the tour, brings back memories of the show.😊

[@shanesauve1721]

Truly impressive, coming from a big L.I.S. fan

[@RailpaxScott]

So impressive! I have always loved Lost In Space. I grew up with it in the 70s. I share your love of the show and admire your outstanding collections and displays.

[@williamhedges1519]

It's nice that for a show that's been over for 56 years that it still is fondly remembered.

[@sergiozammel8261]

I too loved lost in space, shown in oz as a kid couldn't wait to go home to see what Will and old Zachary got up to next. Not to mention the beauty of the three women and bravery of doctor Robinson and Major ( you urk me ) West. What a fantastic series, many memories. I've got a small collection but this is on another level !!! Thanks so much for this.

[@williamhedges1519]

After the cliffhangers, I always looked forward to the next episode. I used to have a small collection but it grew after I retired and enjoyed building things.

[@TheLevel52]

This is a childhood dream so well done........thankyou Bill......

[@MrClipper500]

Yup, there`s a Jupiter 2 on my Space Ship rack and my B-9 Robot next to it. Special effects in that day and age were a lot more labor intensive but they got the job done. I was about nine years old when Lost In Space came out. The 60`s was a magical time. The world was more innocent back then. People trusted Governmental officials. Roswell was still fresh in peoples minds. It was only two or three years after the CIA assassinated Kennedy. A dark time in American History but there were great shows like Lost in Space that projected an optimistic view of what the world could be like. Even Dr. Smith taught you to always look out for that snake in the grass. Truly a great show.

[@joec1576]

Awesome!! You're a true superfan. Thanks for the tour. Love how your cat sits in the control viewport and watches the cosmic storm.....

[@fieldsofgold775]

I think you have created everyone’s oasis of the show that we as youngsters marvelled @! Simply brilliant

[@thomaslucas6079]

I absolutely love it. Wish I was a good Carpenter and creative enough to make all them props. as long as you are around the show will never die. I loved the show because I was a small boy and my parents were alive. Thank you so much I enjoyed it.

[@goferguy5472]

I am an OLD original Lost in Space junkie... What you have done is unbelievably AWESOME!

[@douglashenry6996]

Your collection must be worth a fortune. I remember getting one of those blue and orange robots for Christmas when I was 8 years old. (I'm 63 now.) I sooooo wish that I still had it. I hope that whoever inherits it keeps everything together.

[@user-ki2cl9xe8z]

Doug I'm Jeff...Hi. When I read your comment I had to reply. I too am 63, AND had that "Orange and Blue Robot" (by REMCO). Fantastic collection William has isn't it.

Absolutely the best LIS collection I have ever seen! Thank you for this video!

[@minastronasse]

Astounding. Beautiful collection. This is a museum, and a fun one !

[@michealridenoour5320]

What a collection! Mr. Hedges to you I say Thanks you for your passion of Lost in Space!

[@donalddixon6541]

Wonderful collection! Thank you for sharing it with us...I never missed an episode.

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

A wonderful collection! Nearly every piece I saw, I knew which show it was from!

[@RocketRocket-ce3ke]

It's astounding what Irwin Allen saw as a moneymaker so many of us see as an escape ..back to childhood, into fantasy or whatever. Bravo

[@gkprivate433]

fantastic. I had several of those things as a kid. I had some big yellow jupiter 2 that you could crank wind it up and it was kind of like a gyroscope. Had a plastic robot I eventually filled with saltpeter smoke bomb stuff and burned up. had the black and white "baseball" cards. So loved the show. I was 10 when it premiered and I was already into science stuff. Well guess what, years later I got a BS in engineering, a MS in math. Became a captain in the Air Force and did and still do work on space stuff. Getting ready to retire now. But man I so remember running home from school to catch the re-runs of lost in space as there were many I did not see the first time around as a kid. Batman or the Munsters premiered the same night as I recall and I lost the choice of TV control and missed the first airing of the first episode. That episode where they first crash on the planet is to me one of the best scenes ever. Don in the freeze tube, the camera out the window showing the terrain. Great music of course.

[@darrencoles4894]

I’m gobsmacked at what I just saw. That’s amazing. A lot of work & effort, well done.

[@paulscountry456]

Neat collection,I still love those early episodes and the movie,the main stars were very jealous and strange personalities,I always wanted the portable Force Field erected to protect the crew and ship.

[@Babeiloveyouso]

When I saw the view from the control panel I was tearful you transported me back to my eye view as a kid. Thank you for charging my batteries and stay safe. Keep up the wonderful work. Genius you are

[@williamhedges1519]

When I go there it transports me back in time to when I was a kid. Last year I started building dioramas of my favorites scenes from the series. I undated this video since then. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6WwqmhrjaiCiLM

Your cat watching the cosmic storm is one of the cutest things I've seen in a while!

She likes to follow me around for sure. There's no actual window in the viewport so she sometimes jumps through and goes "outside"

Wow William, now what you have done is the perfect pictorial definition of passion. I loved the journey you've just taken me through and thank you for the burst of nostalgic thoughts of "Lost In Space".

[@dawndelrocco2078]

Just had to say that I have seen different LIS collections on KZbin and they are all impressive in their replication of the show and it's props, but your collection is the most amazing! So glad there are people like you in the world to keep a wonderful show like Lost in Space alive! When you went in the control room and out of the airlock to the outside was AMAZING!!!

[@williamhedges1519]

Thanks, Actually there are two flight consoles, a detailed working one in my basement with just a painted exterior mural outside of the viewport and another less detailed flight console in my downtown building that also includes the exterior set. Editing made it seem like you went directly from the working control deck in my basement to the other one with the airlock and exterior campsite.

[@dawndelrocco2078]

@@williamhedges1519 Wow! Great editing! I loved all the references to various episodes, such as the alien fruit in the lab, the statue from "Blast Off into Space" that Dr. Smith made, and the "Follow the Leader" mummy! My bother and I watched LIS every Wednesday night on channel 2. I was 6 and my brother was 8. My younger sister discovered it in reruns. I had a crush on Billy Mumy! Every kid I went to school with would talk about the episodes on Thursday! It was such a popular show. My collection is extremley small; just some autographed 8x10's from the cast when I attended a convention in the mid-90's, and some smaller, newer made toy robots. When I was a kid, I requested at Christmas, and got the Remco toy robot, I had the lunchbox, and we had the game. Unfortunately, I didn't save them. Now I look at those items on eBay and I couldn't afford them now!

[@KRYPTOS_K5]

I can't believe what I see. It is unbelievable. I recognize all these things, of course. Please, apologize for my English, I live many thousand miles far from the USA. When I was a kid I had a repetitive dream with Lost in Space and that dream was more or less, say, an oniric try to discover the real physical place (probably in a distant and mysterious country called USA) where the Robinson's family and Jupiter II were really settled. The master of dreams gave me different answers in my dreams. But now I see that you made that scenery real. It is amazing. It is the land of heart.

I'm glad you have been giving homes to cats also. My cat actors Judy and Penny came from an animal shelter. They are indoor cats so they kind of like it when they go to the studio and explore its simulated outdoors. They are great companions the rest of the time too and always want to be in the same room as me.

[@rf396]

@@williamhedges1519 Thats fantastic that you took them from a shelter. There are so many cats AND dogs in need of good homes and yet people insist on going to breeders. This helps NO ONE but the breeder as often times the poor souls that are being us to breed are just that. BREEDING STOCK and nothing more. They know no real love or warmth. Just the work of breeding for a buck. I have a friend who is an ENORMOUS LIS fan and he would go ape over seeing this stuff in person. Is your place set up to give tours?
