The start of a long road - Trilogo collection

[Joe]

Started in November :

Got a little bored with Kenner so decided to sell of what I had and go for tris as they are far more interesting for me.

8D8 collection still going if anyone was worried (or happy lol)

This is the proof run so far.

Cromalin, 77bk uncut, 79bk uncut, 77bk production like.

In the summer I will probably do a major overhaul of all my pictures and do some update if I land anything worth showing off

Superb Joe, su-bloody-perb!

Joe,

Glad to see the 8D8 stuff has survived and must say loving the uncut proofs.

The tri-logo stuff is pretty awesome as well especially when you consider you have only been collecting it since november.

I am just getting back into my collecting after starting to sell off my chewie collection adn intend to sort out a limelight of my new items and focus collections in the next week or so.

been back on the boards here for a week or so and have to say it is good to get back to some sanity.

Steve

Great stuff Joe - the 8D8s are great but the colours of the tris together look amazing. Far better than a Kenner run

 

[PGowdy]

You're a sick dude Joe. Amazing run already dude. Well done.
Are you mainly going for ROTJ figs or just what comes along?

 

[weasel]

Great collection Joe. 8)
Are you hoping to eventually track down a Jawa and Madine or are you happy to take reseals for them?

BTW, the 8D8 proofs actually look really cool!

Ehhh "sanity" on here!? :?

 

[Joe]

Cheers guys I have really enjoyed picking these up, it'll only get slower from here on in now the majority of the easier ones have been done but I am here for the long haul so theres plenty of time

Pete + Weaz - Going for the lot if I can do it with the exception of Madine, the older I get the more disposable income I plan to have so I am leaving the big boys for last I will get a Palitoy ROTJ Madine with a double stem bubble as I don't think he warrants a 7-8K price tag.

Jawa in the RS classifieds for 2K- pricey but a bit closer to normality for me!

Thanks again guys + will keep you updated on progress

Impressive. 8)

 

[DarthStanley]

Very impressive start to the collection Joe,they all look to be excellent condition! 8)

Have you tried to remove any dings or are you just gonna leave them as they are?

 

[Joe]

Thanks Mark- I have pulled a few dents out but been pretty lucky on the bubbles so far- did you see that IG?? :shock: Was brand new!

 

[trilogoman]

Great stuff.
Are the trilogos which you have double some kind of favourite characters of yours?

 

[Joe]

köszönöm!

The 8D8's are a character focus yep- clipper catalogue, Macao stickered, 70b + 70c variations (I still need an italian import sticker and the PBP hybrid)

AT-ST = 70B+70C (one was a gift! )

Wicket = I bought 8 cards from one seller and he mistakenly sent me a wicket instead of a Rancor Keeper lol but he will sort it out soon

Thanks Mark- I have pulled a few dents out but been pretty lucky on the bubbles so far- did you see that IG?? :shock: Was brand new!

Yes mate,the IG bubble was a cracker!

The only issue was the few spider veins at the top,apart from that it was perfect! 8)

 

[paulaura]

The trilogos look great together like that.

I tried putting a set together a couple of years ago, and some of the figures were impossible to find with good bubbles.

Good luck with the rest of the run. 8)

Always enjoy seeing a tri logo focus, the picture variations adding a little something else for anyone who enjoy's packaging variations from the wider Star Wars universe (Harbert/Takara/Clipper etc).

Will you be throwing some tri logo miscards into that collection as well, how you end up with Biker Scout on R5D4's card is a mystery, but definitely brings a smile to the face.

"Tri logo" and "good bubble" rarely being found in the same sentence. :mrgreen:

 

[Caswellbot]

Nice work Joe. The Tri Logos look great mate so keep up the good work. As for the 8d8 pre-production stuff, quality. 8)

 

[tatsie]

thank you!

Nice indeed - Trilogos look in good condition too. Loving the proofs. Anyone shine light on the proofs I know they will b e what the cradbacks were made from but are they from the meetings they would have decided upon which direction to go?
