It wouldn't be the first time a seller told a story to move product though.

Which other items of his are you referring to. I just see things that were either available in stores or are San Diego Comic Con exclusives.

Yeah I know that, I'm just posting all the info I have gotten so far. Only time will tell, if he sells all the pieces hes gotten ahold of and no more show up then I think it safe to assume these were pre-production samples as compared to a limited or mass produced item. I think if these were even produced in limited numbers like the rest of the Wave 3 stuff they would have shown up by now. Why are these just showing long after the rest of the wave 3 stuff has.

I hear what you are saying and I don't doubt your statements. I just wish we had some more info other than from the guy selling these.

I am going to use an example that happened to me. Two or three summers ago there was a Jurassic Park toy that showed up at my local KB's - the Canyon T-Rex. At the time only about a dozen were known to exist. They were in the same exact boat as this - an end of the line item assumed never to be produced. I listed one on eBay and it caught fire on the JP boards just like this. I had many people contacting me to buy them. I in the end sold a ton of them but no where near the $750 price they were selling for.

Crazy stuff like this happens and I wouldn't be suprised to hear of people picking these up at a KB, Tuesday Morning, Big Lots, etc in the very near future.

I really believe he is protecting a source and that source is a local retail store. He doesn't want us to figure it out and run out and buy them ourselves.

we need to bug the guy like the police do........to find his source

why do people like these btr stuff? sure these things are rare but so is a bright carnation pink 74 pinto. the btr stuff just doesnt even look that great and surely doesnt fit well with other joe pieces

maybe just my opinion here but theres probably a reason these things never made it to retail

Fits into my Joeverse just fine. Since they are toys, a little variation from one fig or vehicle to another is just fine - those lego type arm & leg pegs don't bother me at all. I like the skulpts of most of the BTR figs, & some of the vehicle designs would kick butt if transferred to the regular 3¾" world. I'm not saying your opinion is no good, it's yours & completely valid, I just disagree.

carnage717 - thanks for sharing the pics!

Well when I was kid I loved lego's. When BTR came out I thought it was pretty good use of Lego. I used always love building my stuff out of Legos and now I can make Joe vehciles. Also with what CGC said I like some of the scuplts on the BTR Figures. I try to get at least 1 of each figure made so this is just another figure to add to my collection. I kind of like the Duke figure that came with set which one reason that I have been looking for one of these sets.
