Claim that you are Lego Master Builder is kinda hard to believe. Last time I have read an article about one of them, there was what, seven artists holding that title?

<p>Basically I've found a rare prototype piece for sale, one of the red Vader helmets, and I want to make sure it s real. The description says that it has no production number printed, which makes sense because I'm not sure why a prototype would have a production number. </p>

<p>I've seen another for sale in the past that said it had a production number printed, and that it was number 1. So I'm not sure which one is real.</p>
