Greg Jein Collection Hero X-Wing & more

The communicators labeled as STIII are really STV.

They did eventually update the ID of at least one of them, maybe all of them.

I wonder if any of Greg's parts ended up on this

Doubtful. That piece comes from Paul Allen's collection.

Doubtful. That piece comes from Paul Allen's collection.

This recent auction was for the "stunt" or "dummy" LIS robot, which had been owned at one time by Greg Jein and partially refurbished/restored... it was later converted to match the hero LIS robot (I believe Fred Barton) for Paul Allen after Allen paid $300,000 for it. If I understand correctly, the stunt robot was partially restored by Jein, and eventually fully restored and converted to match the hero model by Barton at Paul Allen's request.

As for the original hero LIS robot, according to Barton:

The “Hero” robot was all but destroyed and dismantled at Fox for various shows. Very little survived and was pieced together and sold privately as 90% replica with 10% screen used parts woven in.

I have a bunch of photos/short videos (~200) that I took at the Greg Jein auction back in October.
Any interest in me posting them?
Where is the right place to do so?

Absolutely. More reference never hurts

Here is the first batch of photos from The Greg Jein Collection Auction, held at Heritage Auction House, October 14-15, 2023 in Dallas, Texas.
Not every item appearing in the catalog was on display.

Am I seeing things? Is this an HDPE khaki hero helmet and not ABS?

Looks like chipped and worn paint.
