Misunderstandings aside, Todd always seems to have issues with US collectors, esp people who's main posting base is RS, when we show up here on SWF. Angry that he got ousted from RS?(get mad at the mods if thats the case). Maybe afraid that someone will throw a piece from his past back in his...
The figure looks right to me, kinda rough shape but definitely worth a hell of a lot more than the selling price. If I'd seen it I would have bid just to use it for future trade bait. Good score for the winner!

Thanks Grant,
I think that its a case of the display case making a decent run look even better when it comes to my Uzay set.
Speaing of amazing runs.... you should get a tall display case for your 12bk proof run and really showcase it the way it deserves to be. Thats a lot of work putting...
Ask and you shall receive.... This pic is before I put my loose set in the case, but you get the idea....lol There will be Updated pics of "Mos Yglesias" eventually...

It came from Lenny Lee and was a deal brokered thru Tom. I traded my J-Slot Fett to Tom for his covering the cost of The Headman and 4 or 5 other carded Uzays for me from Lenny in the mid/late 90s.
As for there being another(known). I've been told that Lenny and his partner at the time brought...
<insert sarcasm> Because Tom knows more about Uzays than I do :roll: <exit sarcasm>
Nothing against Tom but I think that if someone needed to authenticate an Uzay ,or any other rare bootleg for that matter, my word would hold a little more weight on the subject than CIB.
Sorry that I'm my...
Correct that's the infamous Black Polish Hoth Trooper.... only known carded example, with the also only confirmed carded Headman, a Hungarian Store display set (3 or 4 known) , the Yoda is a carded Hungarian "Pig Nose" Yoda (one of 2 known carded examples) and the Arco SpaceWar figure is that...
Since I see folks posting pics in the thread.... Here's one that I took a while ago and limelighted on RS. It's a pic that could pretty much only happen in my collection..... :mrgreen:
Enjoy

And if you're ever fortunate enough to get one of these calls from John when he does need to quickly raise $$ you'll know immediately by the "used car salesman" tone in his voice.......lol. Before he was done saying Hi to me and asking me how I was I knew he wanted something...lol Not...
I'm putting my Tri Logos up for trade. SOME will be changed to being for sale but the rarer ones likely will be kept for trade bait if nothing good comes up now.
Here's the Flickr album w. pics so far... I'll be adding another 30 or so MOC and boxed vehicles/playsets/creatures soon...
The R2 has a saber in him, it's pretty flimsy but it's there...lol
I just hope that when a thin band MOC Uzay Stormtrooper shows up that I'm in the financial state to be able to knock it out. Speaking of (and bringing this post back on topic.... Buy my carded Ledys....lol
Cheers
Joe
ALL of my carded Uzays are 100% genuine. I also have a complete loose set (I do need to upgrade my loose Vader), AND I have the steel molds that were used to make every Uzay figure as well.

Hey Grant,
None of the bootleg stuff is going to be sold if I have any choice in the matter. Just licensed stuff.
An almost complete set of Trilogos is what I'll be listing next. Once a few more Ledy sell.
Cheers
Joe
Nah Burnsy, yours wasn't the offer I was refering to in my RS sale post. I thought I'd replied to your PM at the time with a reasonable retort to your offer. I'll check my inbox on RS and get back to you if you're still interested. The person being cheeky was a scummer that wanted to buy about...
Hi guys, I know all of the folks that collect cheesy unlicensed SW junk on RS, but what folks here that don't post on RS are fans/collectors of bootlegs & knockoffs. Polish, Mexican, Uzay, Hungarian, Model Trem?? What are you all into?
Cheers
Joe
The only time I've ever seen one offered publicly, was on Ebay,about 4 years ago and the seller had empty boxes for both. I was broke at the time or I would have made a play the 12bk box.
The 12bk box went for over 2500 (if I remember correctly) and the 8 box went for even more ,it was in MUCH...
If you look thru the flickr acct that the Ledy pics are in, there are pics of my carded figure room when I was still actively collecting licensed items. Since the fire 3 years ago (my business burned to the ground thanks to the restraunt that had been next door and I'm STILL fighting the...
Thanks for the well wishes guys! It somewhat pains me to sell them, as I do love Ledys a LOT. BUT I'm not the kind of guy that can be happy with "just" a shelf of them,I like to complete sets. I know finishing the set would require more money than I'm willing to dedicate to them these days...
