JLED fans, set your your alarm clocks to May-17-08 13:30:00 PDT because a few seconds before that, your finger has to be poised on the mouse button if you want to snipe this Joe Ledbetter rarity. The going thought on this labbit is that the production run made it all the way to SDCC, at which point it was squashed by Joe due to QC issues. Kidrobot claims all of the Cold Turkey Labbits were destroyed, but this seller says he’s got one in mint condition that he received as a gift. 26 bids and up to $375 with 2 days left. I can’t predict the outcome, but handpainted Ledbetter one-offs (see below) have gone for double or triple that. Looks like it’s going to be some good eBay drama, so watch the final countdown even if you’re priced out of the bidding war. And watch this space because next week, I’ve got an interview with the JLED superfan known as jtukka.
