This replica glass is a solid, budget-friendly option for daily use. It's crystal, and allows you to keep your genuine Cibi glasses for display. If you're a collector, you'll understand why this is a thing, haha.

I love my vintage glasses from Arnolfo di Cambio, but I really don't like using them on a regular basis. They have a tendency to chip and scratch, which is bad news for an expensive prop. So, I've been on a mission to find a quality replica Cibi glass, that isn't total junk. It's a tall order. Finally, we have a good, cheap option for Blade Runner fans. This is NOT one of the super cheap glasses from Nicely Home. I have a set of those, and they are an order of magnitude cheaper than this new set from Solera.
If you're a sci-fi fan, these are a fun addition to your bar. Let your inner Rick Deckard out, and grab a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label. It's time to hunt some replicants.

Blade Runner Whiskey Glass (37cl)
Design + Props + Collectibles
I've wanted these glasses since I first saw them in Bladerunner (the original movie). I thought they were just an unobtainable movie prop, so when I found that replicas were still being made, I had to have a couple.

BLADE RUNNER 1982
------------------------------------
Blade Runner is a 1982 neo-noir science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, depicting a dystopic Los Angeles in November 2019.
The screenplay, which was written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, is loosely based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. The film itself features: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, M Emmet Walsh, Daryl Hannah, William Sanderson, Brion James, Joe Turkel and Joanna Cassidy; lead designer: Syd Mead, soundtrack composer Vangelis.
The film describes a future in which genetically manufactured beings called replicants are used for dangerous and degrading work in Earth's "off-world colonies." Built by the Tyrell Corporation to be 'more human than human', the Nexus-6 generation appear to be physically identical to humans - although they have superior strength and agility - while lacking comparable emotional responses and empathy. Replicants became illegal on Earth after a bloody mutiny. Specialist police units - blade runners - hunt down and "retire" (i.e., kill) escaped replicants on Earth. With a particularly brutal and cunning group of replicants on the loose in Los Angeles, a reluctant Rick Deckard is recalled from semi-retirement for some of "the old blade runner magic."
Blade Runner initially received polarized reviews from film critics, some who were confused and disappointed it didn't have the pacing expected from an action film, while others appreciated its thematic complexity. The film performed poorly in North American theaters while achieving success overseas. Despite poor early ticket sales, it was adored by fans and academia and quickly attained cult classic status. It gained such great popularity as a video rental, partly due to the film's ability to reward repeated viewing, that it was chosen to be one of the first DVDs to be released. Blade Runner has been widely hailed as a modern classic for its immersive special effects and prefiguring important themes and concerns of the 21st century. It has been praised as being one of the most influential films of all time because of its detailed and original setting, serving as a postmodern visual benchmark with its realistic depiction of a decayed future. Blade Runner brought author Philip K. Dick to the attention of Hollywood, and numerous films have since been based on his literature.
Have plans to retire a few replicants on the loose in some dystopian futuristic city anytime soon? Well, if it happens to be raining at the time, just stay in for the evening, crank up the Vangelis music, grab a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label, and pour a double into this cool new Blade Runner Whiskey Glass. Yep, this is the exact same CiBi Double Old Fashion crystal glass hand-blown and -cut by Italian artisans at Arnolfo di Cambio that Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) drinks from in the movie Blade Runner. It features the same square design with the unusual diagonal cuts at the angles. Even better, when you pass out after a drunken night of analyzing photos on the Esper Machine, you'll probably dream of unicorns and electric sheep.
My wife bought me originals for my 50 year birthday, because I wanted those whole my life after I saw Blade Runner in the 80's. Those 2 glasses was 120€ with post payment. I love those glasses.
Can’t beat the real deal. Good score!
Are they the Double Old fashioned or the smaller size?
My absolute favorite, number one glass design. Nothing better ever developed.
Thanks so much for this review. I was skeptical about these as a viable alternative before watching this.
these glasses are also massive, drank 3 glasses and got annihilated drunk
I like this style of spirits glass, so futuristically cool.
Don't you mean replicant set?
My wife bought me a set of the Cibi glasses for my Birthday a few years back straight from Italy. Many may not know this but you can not longer buy those glasses. They have been discontinued after being in production for nearly 40years. You can still buy knockoffs though. But nothing like you said is like the real thing. I also have the cheap ones that came with the release of 2049 Blue Ray but they are no where near as nice. I still have two full bottles of the Johnnie Walker Black Blade Runner as well. One to keep and one to someday open and enjoy when I retire. By the way beautiful bar!
The originals are still produced:

would you have any idea where to look for the tyrell chess board, not sebastian's? cheers to the drink
Sure wish they'd sell these again.
I know. Haven't seen them in awhile
haaa I saw this video a little bit to late, those glasses are no longer available in Amazon.
They stopped production a little while ago. I am sure you can still find some on ebay, but beware of knockoffs. I would not buy unless you get the box with the set.
Awesome. May have to get some of these.
They're solid. Customer service has been good. I had one glass that needed replaced, they were right on it.
Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
Wish I could find these...
Dude I follow you on Instagram. Randomly found your channel super great detailed review. I appreciate you comparing the other glasses with it!
Dang, currently "Not Available".
We're working on a run of these right now... stay tuned!
@@MagnoliClothiersLtd I can only dream!!!
@@MagnoliClothiersLtd , still waiting...
They're sold out, any chance you know where else to get them
Dang. Amazon is the only spot I've seen them. But, they seem to do a batch of them every 6mo or so. I' sure covid isn't helping their supply right now.
I found them here:www.nbenvenuti.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=499262
Just ordered them, they haven't arrived yet. Hopefully, they're in stock as advertised.
@@orionquest1970 I would be very careful. They have not been available from the mfg for some time now. The only way you are going to find them is if they are old stock. Good luck
@@xbladerunner Yup, you were right. I had to file a PayPal complaint to get my money back.
No longer available 😅
Hey, man do you have a facebook?
Yeah dude, just not on a ton these days. Use for groups only at this point.
180 €. Amazon
These are 300 that’s not cheap

Don't buy knockoffs.
