Ha! Are you the antwerp dolls?
Sitting on a shelf - they are on the shelf;
I don't really belong here - no, they don't. They belong in Spielburg;
You've seen me before - yes, in Spielburg!

Good guess. Fits the clues. But no.
New clue:
You've seen me before, but somewhere else in QFG2.

Aw, poo. I was sure I was right.
Are you ... the X-ray glasses?
Sitting on a shelf - they are on the shelf;
I don't really belong here - no, they don't. They belong with Groucho Marx;
You've seen me before - not yet, but you will use them in Raseir!
There is nothing else in Keapon Laffin's shop that appears again in QfG2.
On the other hand, they can be bought (but not sold), and they don't believe in free enterprise (or anything else - they're glasses!)

No, not the x-ray glasses.
New clue, well more of a reiteration of an existing clue:
Look at the clues that I've given you. Sometimes the answer is in plain sight.

Hmm. The only clue I haven't examined yet is "Part of my name is both ends of a deed", because I couldn't think what this means.
Both ends of a deed? Literally that means "dd". But there's nothing in the shop like that. So I'm stumped!
Are you the D&D game?

No (Is there a D&D game there?)

No, but both ends of the word "deed" spell out "dd". That's why I guessed the the D&D game.
I'm stumped!
Here is what Keapon Laffin's shop looks like:
There is nothing here, except for the antwerp dolls and the X-ray glasses, that ever pops up in any QfG game. And only the X-ray glasses recur in QfG2.
I looked at everything (using the "look at" command) and tried to pick up everything (using the "pick up" command), but nothing works.
May I please have a clue?
If not ... are you the Rosella hand puppet?
(Probably not, but that's the only other thing in the shop that's even vaguely Sierra-related!)

New Clue:
I never said I was Sierra-related. ("I don't really belong here")

Are you on the top shelf?

Hold on, NBH - earlier, you said:
New clue:
You've seen me before, but somewhere else in QFG2.
Now, you're saying:
New Clue:
I never said I was Sierra-related. ("I don't really belong here")
No wonder I'm confused!
Can you please clarify?
Also, are you the octopus with wings?

A lot of the items on the shelves are anachronisms or items from other media, therefore not Sierra related. The x-ray glasses are a good example. The item I am thinking of is one of them. At the same time, the item I am thinking of has been seen somewhere else in the game (although maybe not
exactly as it is seen on the shelf). It will make sense.
And no, not the octopus with wings.
New clue:
I am moving when you see me the other time.

Oh, hold on ... *facepalm* ... are you the airplane?
IIRC, when you're out in the desert, you see an airplane whizzing by for about 3-4 seconds. (A reference to Operation Desert Storm, IIRC)

No. I don't see an airplane on the shelves.
Keep searching through the shelves. It will make sense when you find it. Or you can follow Tawmis' lead and try whittling things down.

Are you on an odd numbered shelf (starting from the top being first, below it second, etc)?
