[QUOTE="theguiltyone, post: 109709, member: 158"] Hey Ham, a Florida based collector Scott McWilliams sold a number of fake vintage prototype figures, primarily unpainted and painted hardcopies. Scott didnt just pop out of the wood work to sell fakes, over the years he has sold plenty of good pieces so buying from him should have been perfectly safe. Same should be said for that other **** face Billy Boy, i think they basically just went insane overnight. Anyway, in a nut shell, I bought an unpainted LXW hardcopy, a protomolded head and a carbalon head. All 3 items are now proven fake by a couple of collectors with the knowledge based on the vast amount of legit protos that passed through their hands. There was a thread on RS all about this but Scott McWilliams got his lawyer to pull the thread, im very disappointed with the powers that be on RS about that but **** it, at least now a lot of people know the name Scott McWilliams = utter ****. Im out a lot of money so that was the final straw for me and my interest in actively collecting. Im keeping some key pieces that i enjoy but most will go, a lot has gone already (thanks again to folks here for the straight forward sales) and its surprisingly easy to keep moving the stuff out the door once you start. marc [/QUOTE]
