Sorry, but i think 150,00 dollars is to good to be true.
Just be sure you pay with PayPal.

He had over 100 transactions on ebay,with like a 97% positive rating,that plus he was from Virginia,made me feel pretty comfortable. The picture of the statue showed ,at least to me, that it was in good shape,and he claimed it was in Mint condition,and showcased it in a "non smoking" environment. I used paypal credit for the purchase,and I'm assuming if there is a problem with the statue,I can take it up with ebay. One thing I"ve noticed looking at several Attackus statues is that although they are masters at sculpting bodies and helmets,,,they really can't do human faces,,at least not ones that look like the source material. Luke x wing pilot,Obi wan, Leia, Han all look in my honest opinion ,like crap...Palpatine and Maul are much better. It's odd how they can make a Vader that looks like he can walk right off the Movie screen ,but they can't do a regular face. I'll take my Gentle Giant busts' faces,as far as screen accuracy,anyday.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Hopefully he had the styrofoam packaging, and just not the outer picture box? I will keep my fingers crossed for you, and be sure to let us know how it goes.

P.S. Before I get all the Attakus fans jumping down my throat,,heheh..and after looking at the human likeness statues closer,,,I guess I just have to conclude that they are "Attukus version's of Star Wars character",with their own style of reproducing the character and in that case I don't mind that some of the statues aren't like Literal translations,but more like Artistic representations,,which I can admire.

You won't get that from the Attakus fans, at least not here. Most of those comments come from collectors who buy other company's Star Wars. For me, I agree the likenesses are not great, but I won't jump down someones throat for liking them. They still are some of the best made and highest quality statues out there.

No kidding. If not hopefully he packs it well because Palpy's right sleeve is rather long and if that weight was to shift wrong you could be in big trouble.

My only problem with some collectors is that they become total advocates for one company,and insist only that companies version's are the best,thats not what I think..
