Re: UFO pistol on ebay - Rip off

> I have checked my facts pal. Like I said - I own one of the pistols. There are three or four variations of that mold and atachments for the variations. I have NEVER seen that gun offerred as a UFO collectable before. (I will admit I have not seen everything...but I would love to see the Price guide and description before passing a final judgement. I just don't want a UFO fan to buy this thing and then find out they have been had. I would question the production, manufacture, box art, and price guide before paying over two hundred dollars for it. There is even a made in China knockoff of that gun mold selling at many flea markets selling import toys. $ 5.00 each) If I knew people were that interested - I would have filled up a cart and sold them on Ebay for $ 100.00 each - but i could not do that to another UFO fan. If I find a source I will post it to the group for those interested - even if it is not a real UFO collectable.
