A pretty hard request to fill, but I'm looking for a couple first series figures - particularly Platoon Leader and Tiger Stripe. Missing accessories OK.

Not my auction or known to me, but it is the lady who sold the Prototype 1/18 King Tiger.

Thanks, I'm looking for the earlier figures that came out at the same time as the VN vehicles. This was the second series of XD figures and still had the swivel-joint articulation and very few accessories.

Thanks, those are from the series I'm looking for, but the seller is asking about 50% too much, and isn't describing them accurately, either. This is about the third week in a row he's posted these, both as a group and in sets of three/four. Each time he's listing them as 'prototypes' (which of course they're not - they're extras 21st sold directly for about $2 each). Started me thinking if there would be a legitimate complaint if someone purchased any of these 'prototypes' that are always being advertised, when it's usually just something the seller doesn't know-what-it-is. Real 'prototypes' are almost never seen on the market, if it's not an outright mistake or deception, what are usually listed as 'prototypes' are test-shots or samples.
