1. Does anyone think that purchase was a setup for TV?
Working in television, the simple answer is yes. Part of the more complicated answer is that it was a legitimate sale from the comic shop to the dealer to the buyer, but the process was almost certainly set up and dramatically enhanced for storytelling purposes.

If there was a bottomless pit of money in my house, sure.

I purchased a "Grey" POTF2 Vader back in '95 from a guy called JawaJim for $115 (IIRC) back when the figures first came out.
Sold it to some guy in Japan in 2001 (again IIRC) for $3750.

I have a vintage SW carded collection. I enjoyed the show for what it was, but don't know what kind of legs it has.
