Staying stood up seems to be the problem for them Paul! The peg holes aren't properly drilled out so everytime I open my cabinet door they go toppling! I'm due a shuffle around in there anyway to "rotate", so I guess these Bootleggers will eventually fall over enough that I'll get around to it!

They're really rather well made too - not brittle and badly put together like other bootlegs I've seen.

They've even got the Hasbro copyright on the arse Jamar! So it's a pretty safe bet! :cofficer:

Do you think they would Jamar? It's an interesting idea but not at 100 dollars each.

I think he offers them "Buy It Now" for about $10 for the black one, plus postage. But at that price you'd likely be able to buy a Hunter and tidy it up a bit?

he's IN the USA - called the black major (with underscore between each word). Pictures showed them with a load of af too, so I tried to direct him this way. Said he'd join eventually, but at moment he isn't a member of any forums apparently.
