very nice mate, how much did you pay for the custom?

 

[Carl Waterworth]

just out of interest, what is the coin on the potf card?

 

[Joe]

Thanks guys! Appreciate the comments, I was going through some stuff earlier and just thought, sod it, I have five minutes I will chuck it all out on the desk and take some pictures before I get told off :lol: :lol:

Carl, the carded Kenner on the bottom are as follows :
Canadian 65b, US 77a, 77b, 77a(which is filling in for my 79a ) , 79b
(The double offer on the far left starting the run is a 79b + coin offer sticker)

The top row of Trilogo cards are as follows :
AFA 80 Trilogo + clipper catalogue, Trilogo + clipper catalogue , Palitoy Trilogo

And the coin that was packaged with the custom is , of course, EV-9D9

Andy, the custom cost me a tenner :lol: Just a bit of fun, not really something I am into normally but when I saw it I couldn't resist 8) :roll:

Great to see an updated pic of them all together Joe.

Now if you could just find that blasted offerless 79 back.

 

[Joe]

Now if you could just find that blasted offerless 79 back,......

.... the picture would STILL look the same but technically I would be a happy chappy :mrgreen:

I could always just never turn that second 77back over and pretend its a 79! :lol:

Thanks again Shawn

who would of thought 8D8 had so many variants

 

[Capetown]

Are those 8D8 CD's?

 

[Joe]

Are those 8D8 CD's?

He is a great DJ! Spinning the discs whilst torturing Gonk droids is a crowd pleaser

I always freak out when I see that POTF 8D8. Tricks me everytime! I also am going to need that Dungeon 3-Pack.

I always freak out when I see that POTF 8D8.

If only! A POTF Proof card was (and will always be) out of my price range so it's my fun piece for that reason!

I also am going to need that Dungeon 3-Pack.

That sounds interesting! ... May I ask why?

That sounds interesting! ... May I ask why?

The Jabba's Dungeon was very exiting when it came out because if I remember correctly, (at the time) it was the only way to get Nikto, Klaatu Skiff and 8D8. It was also one of the last SW toys I ever got back then. Awwww... :wink:

looking good Joe

Thanks mate! Just think your collection could have looked something like this if you had gone with it lol

(Although I would rather have your collection instead of mine, not for character but definitely for rare items + acrylic cases :lol: )

So back in the day 8D8 was considered a bit of a special figure eh? Interesting

Nice story Bryan, and yes definitely pick one up if you can

Cool collection mate!

I love the POTF 8D8 8)
