Well done. 1 every 1.333333 weeks is pretty quick.
You going to take the price stickers off the R2 and 3PO?

 

[DarthSwales]

Wow, very cool, edd_jedi!

 

[Jedi534]

I'm jealous edd! Every vintage collector should strive for a complete set of 12 backs! 8)

They both have exactly the same sticker and I got them from the same seller. I think these guys have been together since they were new so I'd like to keep them as-is

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm very happy with the run. Just got to decide what to do next - I liked the idea of doing the first 12 on GM ESB cards, but I've since been told that 4 of them are unconfirmed to exist

 

[Paul-itoy]

Congrats Edd. That's some going. Jealous!!!

 

[Caswellbot]

Fantastic achievement bud. Keep us posted on what you decide to do next. 8)

[wertyu-2007]

hi just bought these as i need them all what do you think of them ?

 

[Capetown]

They look nice. Don't know about the VC Jawa though. Did you buy it as real?

 

[mr_palitoy]

Is that a genuine vinyl cape jawa you have there?

i got the lot for 60 pound so not too bad if its not real , ill get more in depth photos up of ithe vc jawa so you guys with more experience can have a look for me but i doubt it.

 

[mr_palitoy]

Word of warning, do not post about ebay items you have won until you have them or you are sure they have been posted. If that is a genuine vinyl cape and someone is able to tell from the auction pictures and description that they are, a less scrupulous collector might contact your seller and make them a better offer. From the ebay auction description the seller gave (which took me about 2 mins to find on ebay given the info you supplied), they are making out like the cape is genuine, but they aren't really sure. Normally, that would point to fake, but only a close look when you have the item in hand will probably tell in this circumstance.

I doubt it is real, as the blaster below it is a repro. You might want to check that the other weapons are real too - as £60 for a bunch loose figs with repros is not good

Hope I'm wrong, and welcome to the boards

 

[DarthSwales]

I've not at all been a collector long, but going through all these threads on this forum, it seems that it is a common thing for people to sell bulk lots that include super rare figures but claim, "Oh, I'm not at all sure what this is!" And really it would be a fake. But I dunno, I'm no expert.

Hope it is real though, for your sake!
