This is probably a case of online bid jacking.  He's probably got a couple
buddies bidding up the price so it seems 'hot'.  It's a bit unethical but
then again, who said the internet requires ethincs?  It happens probably
more than we think.  I refuse to believe somebody will pay 50+ for 1 fig,
and not 100 for the whole set.

I would sell mine if I didn't think this was a bit unethical.

Isn't the falcon still available from Lego?  Or did they finally sell out?
Whatever the case, I guess someone wants it pretty bad.  The auctioneer is
