I probably have over 60 'fake' Star Wars prototypes and have paid an awful lot of money to aquire pieces that are - at the end of the day - custom copies.
I believe these to to be real [the seller is a forum member].
If they are not, I wouldn't be too upset as I simply 'want' them, although the are very probably real.

You now Neal, I offered him £120 last night, the same as when he offered them for sale on here 6 months back.
Went to bed, got up this morning, and he'd posted a few messages on his ebay listing that had been sent to him enquiring about the figures saying 'I'm very interested, etc..'.
I know I overpaid, but I figured if I didn't buy them, someone else would.
It was one of those unique purchases, 6 original proto figures.
Just couldn't resist...

Re: ok who bought the Prototypes then?

Niels, I know. You are right.
I keep exchanging private messages with SteveD where I make statements like 'that's it, I've got more than enough, time to chill out and stop buying for a bit...'
And then I get up in the morning and spend 2 hundred on some proto's [plus a few Action Men as well!]
I've REALLY got to cut back this time....
Looking forward to seeing what German stuff you've got going spare?
Don't need much to complete the german range...

Paul, I hope you realise I was just taking the piss. Because on the other hand, f*ck it: your life, your money! 
Seriously, how does the missus react when you buy stuff like this.
I know mine is pretty cool, but then again, my non-lethal little 'defect' is less severe than yours.
