Skippy the Jedi Droid has Motivation! Jan 19 update

Brilliant colection Rich, I think the droids make a great idea for a focus. R5 is on my list!

Great run Rich, Skippy is a very underrated figure - tempted to pick one up myself. From your collection it looks like ESB ones are harder to find. Is that the case (tbf it is for a lot of SW characters)?

Yeah Andy it does seem to be the case although tbf I don't see a lot of R5 stuff come up at all. Also, I've now seen 6 SW carded FS and all of them have been 20g?

Nice R5 focus Rich. I like how you've managed to pick up two of the large bubble Trilogos, believe it or not at one time that was considered quite a rarity compared to the normal small bubble one!

Cheers Joe. Big bubbles? They look bloody tiny. I have a lot to learn on trilogos.

Been looking at your guides. Am I correct in saying they're the Parker German cardback? And are they both the same? I thought one was different but I can't see the difference now.

There's a study to be made there. Just sent you a pm regarding a beauty!

From your picture it looks like you've got a German Parker (Triangle punch shape and light yellow cardback) & a Palitoy Type 3 but both carded using the same bubble. The more common bubble is a lot smaller, this was my old one to compare to: http://trilogo.info/wp-content/gallery/sw-carded/r5-d4_0.jpg (Also used on R2's as well)

I ignored the Palitoy 3 as the matrix on your site didn't have trilogo R5 listed. I've just checked though and I'm not sure. I've sent you two photos on fb.

Very nice mate - although it does look like your camera might have a bad motivator :lol:

OK, I found that funny....

Great run - esp the Revenge Proof. I think that's a tough one to get. Well, any Revenge Proof is hard to get, but I mean I think its one of the harder ones....

Cheers
Pat

There's not much difference in rarity of revenge proof cards but I think it's a popular character and the card art is very appealing so its always going to be in high demand. Of course I'm biased

Cheers Pat.

Got a Popy R5 on its way to me now too.

a new update

Good update and a fabulous collection! Thanks for sharing

That's a great "loose carded" R5-D4 Collection Rich. :lol: Thanks for sharing.

Interesting and Impressive collection but I don't understand the Skippy bit?

Which is the rarest R5D4?

R5 was called Skippy and turned into a Jedi in an old DH comic.


The Palitoy 45c is one of two known sealed examples.
