[Darth Kahnt]

No live link but the auction number is:

190063415954

Now $5000.00 is a steal for this puppy. :angel

 

[Boba Frett]

Oh man :eek I am strapped, I may have a chance if I could sell my car before this auction ends :rolleyes

 

[IRONMAN]

No COA and he's charging way too much for shipping. :confused

 

[jedi5150]

Is he serious?

 

[propsculptor]

I don't believe for one second that is from the original Movie Molds, the face looks Really Off.

 

[bigbaddaddyvader]

This is getting beyond a joke recently.

$5000.Oh sure.Right enough.

Looks amazingly similar to the helmet I had in the 80's. I think I traded it away for a Guns n' Roses cassette.

I wonder if this guy seriously believes this thing is worth more than $20?

 

[OldKen]

some people believe that because they have yodas brown snake and a dog chewed red snaggletooth that they can retire from there jobs once they sell there SW "collection" :rolleyes


so... yes, he probably DOES believe its worth THOUSANDS. :lol

 

[rollerboi]

He was probably suckered by someone else, or it was a gift.

I Ebay'd a mint 1977 DP Vader helmet (with hard plastic dome) a few years back.

Got a whopping $65 for it.

Yeah, steel alright...... steel where their brain should be. :lol

So I emailed him to ask him about the helmet. I said

Hello,
Can you tell me how you confirmed this was from the same molds as the screen-used helmets? What you have appears to be nothing more than the Standard Don Post helmet which retailed for about $50.00, and is NOT from the screen-used molds, nor is it even accurately-sized.
Thank-you, [/b]

And his reply:

I was doing this for a friend, and I know nothing about it. I have however researched this matter and told him so it can be fixed. thanks for the info[/b]

So read into that what you may. He's changed the description to simply say "no lenses, from Don Post studios" and changed the opening bid to $50.00.
