That's pretty old actually, I made a topic about it when I first became a member here :-D I found it belonged to a member of NELUG, it was a prototype skellie horse from at least three years ago. Goes to show you that this stuff takes years to conceptualize

3 years old!? WOW! It does take a long time! Boy would I give anything for that! A nice prototype peice, indeed!

Anyone knwo where he got it from?

Jeez! X-O , I didn't know it took them 3 years to plan out a theme!

Maybe they are secretly working on a pirate theme for 2010 as we speak! 8-|

I wonder if that rare part might somehow be available.....

Batbrick Away! >:-)

I remember seeing that, and saving the pic as it was so awesome! :-D I also wouldn't mind that sword. X-D I wonder if TLC will release these, like skeleton ghost horses. 8-| :-P]

Ded stalking Batbrick? :-P

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sing* *sing* *sing* *sing*

Why must you continue to stalk me whilst I stalk you? :-D

Anyway, if you didn't know already, that sword can be found (not transparent) in several Orient Expedition sets. Hope that helps :-)

Yeah, I know. I have a light grey (or is it bley?) one of those swords. It is neat. X-D Got it from an Orient Expedition set I got when camping once. From Toyworld on discount. I also got the hot-air balloon set. I was happy. *sweet* Anyway, I meant it would be cool to get a transparent light blue one of those swords. Or a transparent one in any colour. Yeah.

Ded stalkin' Batbrick. I should make an abbreviation for that. Like, D st. BB. Nah. :-P

Oh yeah, I was just making sure. I think bley is hard to tell sometimes frankly. I too hope they would release a transparent horse and sword, maybe for a ghost faction on the evil side in the castle line? 8-|

You and your abbreviations! :-D Whatever then!

Batbrick stalking iamded!

BB st. D!

NAH! :-P

Just as a comment ... anyone think we'll see a flood of the new ones in transclear now that the molds are available? I bet a couple of specialty parts sellers would love to get their hands on a few hundred and sell them on Bricklink. I know I'd buy one, if it was reasonable enough.

Very possible imperialshadows, I too would get one should the chance arise, maybe even several....

If those trans skellie horses went for sale... well...

It would bring a whole new meaning to Ghost Rider for one thing!

GhostRider.jpg ON! X-D

Most likely, the person who has it must have good connections with Lego or someone inside the company. Same goes for the trans- clear, black and red ghost shrouds. These different colors are prototype molds and they are used to check whether the final mold in a different colour will have (minor) flaws or imperfections. Imperfections on the ABS material are apparently best seen on trans-clear, red and black pieces. I think that after they are of no use anymore, they will be discarded or given to people who visit the factory or to employees.

Some will go in collections, others will be sold on the world wide Lego market which will give the seller a tidy sum in case they are offered for sale on BL for instance.

Just my 2 cents.

I have been on the factory tour in Billund and they do not let you anywhere near the prototype pieces! I think that these must have leaked out from someone in the factory ...

I know what you mean about the tidy sum for sellers. I now have a Black, Red and Clear ghosts, but it did cost me!
