Is it just me or is this a crazy price?

[QUOTE="SublevelStudios, post: 337160, member: 5051"] There's yet to be a definitive answer to the whole grey limb Hoth Trooper debate, so Mark was just covering all the bases with the description. I don't believe these were prototypes or 1st shots, what I do believe is that these were a batch that had faulty plastics and were discraded by Palitoy. For whatever reason, these found their way onto the open market, possibly through the staff shop which is why you'll never see a carded one (yet!) I believe these to be an oddity rather than a true variant as they were never for sale to the general public, and as a Palitoy item I can see why it reached to high price it went for. When I was asked for a valuation on it before it went on ebay I said about £60 but would not be surprised if it topped the £100 mark. £165 is an amazing price though. Too high for me, still hoping I'll find one in the wild for much less. It's a cool looking figure though :) [/QUOTE]
