The Great Star Wars Heist: Stolen Proto Boba Fett …
Just a crazy story … the story has got almost everything – Star Wars, mystery, collectibles, betrayal, crime, money, community and intrigue … well, maybe not any women … ;lol;
“I’ve just discovered my prototype Rocket Fett was stolen from my Star Wars museum at my workshop in Texas. It was sealed in an AFA case with rocket and certification. The photo above was taken by a guest in the last two weeks so the theft is recent. Detailed photos of the loose Fett are on our vintage Fett archive page. Needless to day, if anybody should hear anything about a Fett like this floating around, please contact me.”

Apparently you can blame (?) Mattel for the firing Boba Fett issue …

Interesting read. I know Philip from my college days and when I worked at Actionace.com. (He also helped me sell my Japanese Phantom Menace laserdiscs – lol)
Strangley I find the CARS diecasts following a similar path as the Kenner Star Wars line and right now we are in the ROTJ POTF coin period.
I quit collecting vintage SW and swapped it with CARS. (And now I look for production pieces from China that never made it to the mainline)
