The real problem with Ultra-rare collectibles like this is that it's hard to
authenticate... I mean, if it's supposedly so rare that even someone at Lego
would haev difficulty telling you if they ever made one (the Kristiansen's
collection of Lego toys isn't open to the public, is it?) then how are you to
know if it is what the person says it is? Even if they do say they made one,
if you can't find a picture or other references to back it up, how can you tell
a real from a counterfeit? And on top of that, when something is so totally
rare that few people have heard of it, how many collectors really want one?
For example, there is much likely more interest in something like the
Metroliner Club Car, even if the Doll was priced the same (err, as Club Cars go
for).
