$18,000 Star Wars Boba Fett figure
 
The most famous unproduced figure of Star Wars, it wasn't produced cause the firing missile was dangerous for kids eyes, there are probably around 5 or 6 of these, if im not wrong, some painted, and some unpainted, some with an L slot like this one, some with J slot...
pretty rare find...

A waste of money - people are starving to death and you're buying this shit ?

Rot in hell

How does someone who lives in his parents basement afford 18000 dollars.. ;)

This is bloody ridiculous. My life savings amount to less than $5000 (AUD), not that I've had a particularly long life, but still.

could it really be the original prototype? I read a lot about false and raw copies made from "common" (if they're common :P) boba fetts
you can buy any COA at almost every shop, and more if it's a +15k usd figure :|

DeMoN 01-17-2006 10:58 PM

piece of shiat! Personally, I dont like Star Wars, or any SCI FI for that matter. Paying 18k though must sound like crap even for hard-core starwars fans.

btw blinkmeat, you seem to have a database full of amazing Avatars. I stared at that one for a long time.

DeMoN 01-17-2006 11:00 PM

oh hell! look 60$ shipping too! Does that mean the current owner flies with the figurine and delivers it to your door too?

I'm a huge Boba Fett fan and even I think that price is a fucking joke. Come on now, why would anyoe pay that type of money? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

blinkmeat, I love the avatar.

The only thing that will be more crazy than that offered price is if someone pays that.

Maybe so, but $18,000 for a [rare] piece of cheap plastic is a fucking rip-off if you ask me.
