It's not mine, I wish it was, but if anyone that does their own casting or whatnot wanted one on the sprue, here's your chance.  It's gonna go out of my price range really quick (or so I assume) but hopefully one of you fine fellows here may get ahold of it!
And don't forget to use the Tactical Command eBay link!

They've been going for $50-60 most of the time, but like everything on ebay there are occasional spikes in price.  I don't recall seeing any for a bargain price (below, say, $40) in at least a couple of years.

Thanks for creating this thread, I would've missed the auction otherwise.

Why should we be worried? I don't understand.

I had some experience with someone that was making en masse counterfit CBT minis, unseen and not, when something rather rare shows up using the same picture twice in such a short time, I always get cautious.

If he's got the $150K to be making knockoffs of the Imperator more power to him I say :)

Oh crap, now I have to build two of them.

The seller has a nice history behind him and I wouldn't worry about the auction. Besides he lives in the US where you get longer sentences for online fraud than you get for accidentally stabbing a man 17 times where I come from.

long story short.  Some guy started casting his own unseen battletech minis, nothing too big, it happens all the time.  no different from casting OOP titan parts, or ols Space Fleet stuff. He started casting current releases, though.  we tried alerting FASA (who at the time was in charge of that stuff) but they couldn't really do anything, so i made the coment 'someone should just c4 his servers, get this over with.'  
With the urging of a mod on the website who butted heads with me, he called the FBI and placed me as a potential domestic terrorist and got a little visit from 2 FBI agents. fortunately, he was a jackass to the FBI and they didn't take it too seriously, they realized he just wanted revenge against someone that said mean things about him on the internets.  
Still, i have a FBI record because of that son of a bitch, and am lucky i'm not red flagged at the airports because of it.

Yeah.  On the bright side i reported him to Harmony Gold a year later, they sued every last dollar he had (despite his quoting of the bible to get out of it, and his wife leaving with much of his money) and no one has heard from him since.  I hope he got what was coming to him...

Sounds like poetic justice, but it's too bad you had to be dragged into it.
