I also have to agree. I've never had a book I wore out more than the kellerman. It is still the definitive guide to Kenner cardbacks and variations, albeit out of date and lacking some information. I don't think all the information in it IS available elsewhere, and certainly not all in one...

Very nice figure. I think there is proof now they were around in some UK stores

They look great, well done for having them. Good luck with finding the third.

Not sure if you are referring to mine, but it is original carded one not custom made. I have found a lot (relatively speaking) of the original Droids and Ewoks series cards can be found unpunched, maybe because they were not as popular and were not retailed on hangers? It was a bit of a ruse...

Your testing us with this one! Here is my Logray on the card. I think he is the rarest of the Ewoks series, what do you think? The Droids and Ewoks series have become more famous for the unproduced second series figures that were advertised in the Kenner Toy Fair catalog 1986. I think as well...

ok, here is another swf link discussing http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=23671 There is one mention of Australia "79 backs are quite rare for a lot of the earlier characters (ESB)- seem to be Australia only releases"

Hi This post on rebelscum talks about 79 back rotj cards http://forum.rebelscum.com/showthread.php?t=813967 It includes a post from John Kellerman "In my book, I show only 43 79-Backs that I'm aware of. I'm sure there are more out there but I doubt that all the first 79 characters were...

I would appreciate seeing them.

I also wish John well. I didn't realise of his problems so the post is enlightening. The 2nd edition book came ever so tantalizingly close to being published, it is understandable though why it didn't just make it. Below is a page that gives idea how good it would have been

That is interesting about an insight into publishing. It doesn't make it easy publishing specialist books that we Star Wars fans need. I still think the demand for the Kellerman book is large enough. I accept the book has entered some weird collectable status, which makes no sense to me as it's...

I don't understand given the demand why somebody doesn't just republish the original book somehow

The main reason for the astronomical postage prices from US sellers is because of the introduction of the Global shipping program (GSP) ebay introduced. A huge number of US sellers signed up to it early on without realising what it meant. This program takes away any flexibility, charges the...

I am sure the Kellerman book has been covered on the forums before, but I still find it a bit of a mystery why this has not been republished. In 2002/2003 I contacted John Kellerman directly. I did have a chat about Star wars, but can't really remember much about it now other than I pre-ordered...

I think here is fine. Below is my POTF body rig Sand Skimmer. The bubble yellowed which is very common but is undamaged, the bubbles were very thick plastic on these.

That was a really good find. I don't think it proves that this sort of star wars is 'still out there' That's what Paul Martin says on Flog It every time they sell something found at a boot sale or charity shop. What Flog It doesn't tell you is that see thousands of people and find one like this...

A great choice of toy! I agree the reigns are a week point of the toy. I think the collectors version was quite 'common' relatively speaking Here is mine. It is still factory sealed.

It's interesting to know they were available at toy fairs in the 1990's. While many collectors might have known about them, I still think they seemed a bit obscure and agree more of a premium might have been put on them then, than now. Although I think in the last couple of years, the prices...

It sounds like you saw one! It's possible. Despite their current perception of rarity, there were large numbers for sale in the USA. Many UK collectors did not even know they existed in the early 2000's, and were not particularly sought after in the UK. I would say the collectability of them in...

I just can't see why the POTF cards would have been sold in the UK. In the USA I think there were plenty available in the stores in 1985. After ROTJ, sales went downhill and there were masses of unsold Tri-logo in the UK, some of which had the same figures as the POTF, such as Last 17. A lot of...

I take it on board your point. Have a look, I just wrote the post for my love of Star Wars, a little exuberant maybe am I!
