German Red Ghosts
I think he got it from a flea market with other bulk lego. I think the theory is it was a 'test' for the ghost mould or someone in the factory cast thier own red ghostdJOLe_sk8 wrote:Sorry 'cause I dropin'in, but I saw Jojo's red ghost, and I wonder where it came from?The Blue Knight wrote: Maybe Jojo could trade his red ghost for a 375 MISB? ;^)

Red was the old color used in molds to see if the mold had any cracks or damage. Some of this testing and mold production was done in Germany. By chance the peices made their way to a flea market where a few fans bought them.

I'm not sure why, but a lot of LEGO collectors (myself included) drool over this kind of LEGO peice - for me, it's half because it's a piece of LEGO history, and half because it's a red ghost... which could lead to all kinds of cool happenings in any LEGO Castle story.

A red ghost?
Well, I missed this, but it sounds interesting. It looks like JoJo might have a spendy LEGO piece to barter with, or just keep to have a super rare item....

I recently have been offered ghost shrouds in red, black and trans-clear. Sorry, but I can not and will not disclose the source in this forum since it was a special offer for a selected number of people. I turned them down at $250 for the 3.
Would you consider buying those parts at this price? They are rare of course and probably never offered again but I thought this was a lot of money for just 3 small parts that are selling for about $0.25 as a glow in the dark thing.

Yes, I do have pictures of them except I do not have the freedom nor the permission to share these. As I said, these were limited access items so I am not in the position to make these public.kelderic wrote:Do you have pictures of them?jamtf wrote:I recently have been offered ghost shrouds in red, black and trans-clear.

Actually, the red one can be found on BrickLink. It's Jojo's.

I'd personally say $250 is way too much... even if they are originals. If they are just custom made, and not originals from "way back when", then that is surely too much.
Although they are a great collector's item, I personally would want to go crazy on bricklink or buy a massive horde of some cool customs than just get 3 pieces of plastic... maybe I am not die-hard (and/or wealthy) enough though.
With all of this said, I do believe there are some who would pay this price.

Correct, the source told me he had sold a couple of the red and black ones when I wrote to him about these parts. Others did not proceed and kept thinking about what to do with them, like me. I finally decided not to buy since $250 could be spent in many different ways which are better in my opinion. Perhaps this decision is wrong and the parts might be quite valuable in a few years, but this is my choice of today and for that amount of cash, I'd rather get some wished for sets.ottoatm wrote:I'd personally say $250 is way too much... even if they are originals.
