I have seen them from time to time as well.
I saw a bunch on eBay a while back from a guy that worked at Amazon. I guess they send these out to the big retailers so they can use them for planning purposes.

Judging by how far along the example is in the production process I believe the FEP stands for Final Engineering Pilot.

Dude! I didn't realize you had a website w/pics and I really didn't realize you had so many pre-production pieces!
Apparently you've been amassing quite the collection since we last chatted!
A lot of excellent stuff there!
And... I can't believe there's a "brigg" on this site as well as POTF2. What are the odds?!

I don't know about you, but I'm here to talk protos, not tittle-tattle screen titles...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Yeah I built my site a little while back but it's been at least a year since I'd updated it until recently. Yeah I've kinda cut back on errors and got pretty hooked on protos  Thanks brotha
So if there's now 2 briggs, does that mean we've got 2 boobs on our hands now?!??!!  pun intended |

Nothing wrong with that, I guess.
I have always found 2 to be better than 1!  |

Haven't been around much lately due to work but I'm still trying to stay in the game. Here are some new additions and updates on some of my runs. Thanks to everyone who has helped with my collection lately
VOTC Luke w copyrights but no pegholes
VOTC Obiwan
VOTC Vader paint sample with no copyrights or lightsaber hilt hole
My VOTC run so far
Unproduced Dexter with pipe
TC-14 run with new addition white first shot. It was sold as a k3p0 fs but I thought those had some kind of markings on the figure's chest that tc did not. Nevertheless its the same mold.
Vintage blue prints for gamorrean guard axe and royal guard staff
Luke and leia picture mounted on presentation board. I haven't figured out what it was used for yet but still interesting.
Episode 1 logo presentation board also unsure what it was used exactly for.
Unproduced holographic nute gunray run (new addition is the light purple first shot)
Loose Commtech chip v2 run
If anyone has any pieces that could help me finish off any of these runs I'd really appreciate it. Enjoy |

Excellent work on that VOTC run!
Good luck finishing it off (and I honestly don't think you need two Vaders for that run... just pop one in the mail to me  )! |
