Anybody read the "Questions and answers about this item" section? Guy asked about the sellers BIN price and the seller told him $12k. Bet the guy who asked wishes he had bought it at the price now.

Did you see how long the flipper bats are?

I read they made ~12 prototypes with minor differences, especially flipper bat size, with this example having longer than normal bats.  I think none of the other samples had plastics making this one the best of the group.
