15,000 for a Revenge of the Jedi Prototype

Never seen this one before.

That's an amazing piece and was I believe to be the continuation of the 3 pack concept. Unfortunately, that line bottomed out after ESB and the multipacks went to the rather bland (yet still neat in their own right) white mailer boxes from catalogs for stores like Sears and JCPenney. The Archive has a reference to this multipack, which appears to be one of a kind, so what we see on eBay would be the one on TRG...

I remember that set up for auction late last year.

Wow, $12,200 didn't reach the reserve. I wonder how much he wanted? $15,000?

Plus the discussion at RS:

i didn't really think this was a "wow" auction, but maybe i was wrong. i knew it was nice, but i was kinda hoping to pick it up for about $40. i was off by over $100. who knew leia combat poncho was going for so much.

Yeah what the hell, has demand for a Leia Poncho carded really gone that far up?
I've seen carded Leia Ponchos go for as low as $25, now $145 - things sure have changed.

Dale: thanks for the links on the multipack - I now remember seeing this on ebay, I guess the original buyer backed out so the seller has to try again. Interesting though that this time he starts the auction $3K more than what it went for last time...
