Well, he/she sure has gone to a lot of trouble to convince you that they are the "original" grips.

Check out the "original" Tyrell Building Miniature Panels listed by the same seller:

These are being sold by Bryan Ebenock, a well respected collector. Had the pleasure of meeting him at the BRFC DVD release party at the Bradbury. He's bona-fide.

Some will remember him creating the new decals used on the Spinner at the Sci-Fi Museum. He's one of the top BR fans and collectors out there.

I agree with spinner44 too. I have deals with Bryan and all goes flawlessly and perfect!

I would vouch for Bryan too, not to mention he is on the DVD extras as well Smile

I believe these were put up once before by somebody else before Bryan became the owner. These also seem to be cast for a stunt gun as shown in the pics. I do feel somewhat suspicious of the fact that the Steyr clip is not cut down to fit the gun unless the stunt was hollowed out for the clip to fit in there unmodified except for the LEDs. These could be a great item for someone totally serious about making as authentic of a replica as possible.

I hope Bryan isn't selling these because he no longer likes BR. Maybe he just needs money right now for something else. I hope we don't see his Tyrell robe up for auction too. Shocked

If memory serves Bryan works for Planet Hollywood, and I think ran the Orlando location and storage warehouse.

He actually is working for a different company at present. I'm sure he still likes BR too.

I'd bet he still loves the film too.

I suspect these items will be for sale for some time at that price though.

He's a BR fan for years, and still is, but other interesting things are happening for him.

Auctions will be succesful for sure. Perhaps not the Buy it now! price, but every piece offered is taken...

Propstore of London was selling these in a custom frame for a while in the $700-800 range, although they weren't as detailed as this one.
