[Tetmatek]

Here is the link; I guess Lucas has to buy a license from 20th Century to use them in his film:lol

[phez]

Is that trademark scratched on? :lol

Well, Original is in quotes and it's a Storm Trooper helmet not a Stormtrooper, so maybe that's the difference?
What is he claiming though?

"This helmet was actually used as a prop in filming sequences leading to the creation of the original "Star Wars IV" movie." -- WTF??

This looks like an early Don Post... Are they worth $75?

*Sigh*
Oh well, I'll have to pass on this one.

 

[Bilbo Baggins]

Almost 250 views and not even one bid for $75.00 for this SIGNED!!! original prop..

Maybe the shipping is too high??

Plus, there's a reserve. I wonder how much it is? :love

Reminds me of a Vader helmet I saw. Seller claimed it was #21 of 500. A close look at the pictures revealed it to be an undersized DP that Dave Prowse had signed and numbered himself. Surely Dave Prowse hasn't signed more than 500 Vader helmets ever, right? :lol

I remember an "official" run of signed Prowse DP helmets. I don't remember which site offered them - Entertainment Earth maybe? or someplace like that.

Why?

When I was a little kid, all I ever wanted were the old Don Post masks, because they were so cool.

As an adult, I realize that perhaps my father was right in saying that I shouldn't waste my money on some cheap plastic junk.

Especially when there's sooooooo many cooler things out there now.

 

[SurfingDoc]

I guess it is original.... from a certain point of view...

I'm going to stratch "copyright lucasfilm" into all the Star Wars stuff I own:lol

 

[Bowelrock]

just a long thread of speculation

Why?

 

[jkno]

What people are doing to earn some money...:rolleyes

 

[SithLord]

I think the seller is confusing the word "licensed" with "original".
