If you bow down to Tempest and kiss his feet, the Prototype Master will teach you a few things that might enlighten you. :D

I've found most of my prototypes by talking to people that have either been in the hobby a long time or by talking to the programmers themselves. Of course Ebay is another route (or was anyway). Just takes a bit of paitence, and some good contacts.

BTW I've never found a prototype in the wild. Go figure...
