8" Lili Ledy Jawa "Brown Cape" (MIB)
Date: February 2010
Selling Price: $910.00 (Ebay)
Not that the 8" Lili Ledy Jawa is not hard enough to find, but this features a seldom seen variation. The Jawa is "commonly" found with a green cape, but featured here is the brown caped version. This is the third MIB version I have ever seen. Though the condition is not the best, it is a real treat to see this rare variation come up for sale.

If proven legitimate, this could be one of the greatest finds in the hobby. This appeared out of nowhere on Ebay by a random seller. The debate started instantly with many experienced collectors debating the authenticity of the figure. After some mind blowing Buy It Now offers posted by the seller (30K+), the item disappeared. Rumor has it, the current owner will have this authenticated by AFA. Hopefully this will turn up again, so the debate can be concluded.

Update:
Well, what do you think, showed up at Celebration V? The "infamous" Meccano 12 Back VC Jawa happened to be on display behind the CIB Booth. Unfortunately, I could not see sticker on the case to see how this MOC figure graded out. I think this finally puts the debate to rest..
