| Awesome Bespin Luke Marco : ) After stealing my son's Fett I bought this : ) (Engineering Pilot) Princess Leia This pre-production piece was found in the 2004 Earth find. It is one of two, early, made in Hong Kong coo Leia Engineering Pilots purchased from a former Kenner employee and auctioned off by The Earth Collectable Toy Mall located in Cincinnati, Ohio. This EP Leia was auctioned off with other pre-production pieces that came from the same former Kenner employee. This figure has K28 written on the bottom of her feet and was used as a pre-production test run piece. She was most likely used to test color, mold and sonic welding. |

- Tundra, I have to warn you, as you are showing the first signs of acute Ledyritis.
You are on the hunt for other Ledy Imperials by any chance? There are a few loose Ledys I have my eye on, but the one(s) I'm after is a bit costly for my taste... Not at the moment, branching out my "loose" focus to include some others of my faves, including one red imperial though Nice Bespin Luke there Doc! Have you bought all of Ozios Ledys now? Nice EP Leia Steve! You are one crazy man! |

Thanks, both the Tri-Fetts are quite minty, tightest limbs I've encountered on any Tri-Fett. Nice bootlegs there! |

You don't live in a cave??? What are you saying, man? I always envisioned you living in a Wampa style cave. Warmer of course. With furniture. |

| Here you go guys. It was probably the last BIG prototype find. It had around 50 prototype figures in the auction that came directly from a former Kenner employee. The company that sold off the items was The Earth Collectible Toy Mall. So this is why I call it the Earth find. Here is a link, or see my limelight here on TIG as it explains it (the 2004 Earth find) pretty well. Enjoy the reading.... http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1022383/ http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t4138-my-prototype-collection-engineering-pilot-leia-added

| Steve: You are becoming Mr Pre-Production of this thread. Very nice score that EP Leia!! John: I like that red Boba bootleg, looks totally bad ass. DelToro: Wow, I enjoyed looking at all those Ledy figures!! Ledy Overdose!!! Great catch, congrats! BTW: It is almost like you put the figures in mirror orientation, RR Fett standing on the division lime. Or is that just me? Dave: Welcome aboard. Never saw the UK Fan Club kit before. Interesting stuff! Sydling: Hey another new member posting here. Welcome! - sydling wrote:

Thx Alex. I think it is safe to say it is an European variant which probably appeared on different cards (Palitoy, PBP as well?). He is a cool variant, and I am very happy to add him to the collection after searching for a long time. |

| So there it is Mark! BEAUTIFUL piece my friend. You should be proud! I love the display case you chose, very classy! And it has a bit of history too, being the first RR LL Fett ever graded by UKG, correct. Nice score too! I love the other pieces too (R2) is stellar. But I'm having a hard time looking at anything other then your Fett right now : ) Congrats! On a side note, did you ever hear back about that Mecc Fett I gave you a link to? I see someone on RS is actively looking for one also. -Steve |
