Quoted from dito:I'm no Boba Fett, I would need some investigating serum to dig deep to find the OP. OP last seen April 15, 2013... hmm tax day... might be a lead...
Has anyone sent him a PM? It may go to his email, sending him back to pinside to read about his living legend status.

That is a great idea if he set up his account on pinside that way.
Dito we need you to find this guy. It would be a great Holiday present for pinside. The gift that keeps on giving. Who knows what he has gotten autographed since he disappeared in April.

I suspect it'll be a TMNT backglass signed by the actual characters and Vanilla Ice.

Quoted from PEN:If he came back he would likely not live up to the legend he has become.
We have other reliable sources of entertainment these days. This thread was indeed great, but with the application of only cursory internet skills, became depressing and made me feel dirty.
No such worries with houseofpin! 
I remember when this all first happened and dito nailed him. I heard every "caught in the act - red handed" style of music and every "record scratch and music stops" sound in my head all at once when I read it.
This has got to be considered for one of the top 3 threads of 2013 on this forum. At least up to where dito caught him, it was all pure comic genius.
I do believe this StarWars pin has now become the grail pin of everyone who has read this thread. I wonder if it shall ever resurface again. 
Id guess some wealthy collector nabbed it already and has it locked in his vault right next to the Apron of Destiny.
unfortunately he is getting out of the hobby and had a fire sale on most of his pins which are not signed by anyone . i think he only has the AC/DC premium left up for sale or a WOZ on another Pin site . Have a happy holliday all you forum wierdo's like me

It's a Tenacious DESW apron...
This pin is now a myth. How much is a myth? $5,500? More?

Everyone attending that party needs to be on the lookout for a guy lugging around a TMNT translight.

Quoted from dito:I have VIP tickets, but already am scheduled to work, so I may not be there... damn working for yourself when you can't call in sick sucks.
Use you super sleuthing skills and track down pinballwizardz and hook him up with your tickets.

Quoted from PEN:PM sent.
To try and convince the OP to come back to pinside.
maybe he's got something else to sell, i don't know, like a signed chewbacca figurine... i just hope his dad won't buy it!
I got boba fett, chewie, leia, r2d2 and a ewok autograf on photos, meet them all! I guess i'm rich as hell.
10K by easter! 11K including me!

Quoted from Thor-NL:Damm PEN
Every time i see traffic on this thread i think "YES!"
but
Sorry. I did make an effort to bring the man back though.
Quoted from lowepg:rumor has it he got a job scheduling production for a new pinball company... no other details available...
This is one of the only threads that has nothing to do with your obsession. Lets leave it that way.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:If it was signed by chewbacca, wouldn't it be signed, Eraaarrrwewwwwwwwwww?
No man, that means "I will rip your F'ing arm off!" in Wookiee. Thats just bad form, as a celebrity. 
I think it would be a bitch not to be able even say your own name. In fact. How did Han even know his name was chewbacca? It's not like he can tell him.
What's your name again?
Erarrharraharrr!
We'll just go with chewbacca, how does that sound?
Ive owned a few of these pins in the past and don't want another, but i WOULD buy that translite in a heartbeat!
Not only as a SW fan, but the added value to the pinside community puts its sentimental value into the stratosphere.
Has anyone tried emailing that eBay account which 'bought' the signed DESW which Dito then found out was the guys dad? Maybe if he dad found out he was so beloved around here, he could talk his son into coming back.
Quoted from dantebean:Damnit, stop bumping this! I keep thinking it's the OP. Damn, I just did it.
Lol
