Caswellbot's Collection to Date

[Caswellbot]

Thanks Tony - I think completing the carded run will take a fair few years yet mate. :wink:

Iain - It is of course very cool to have something that not many people have. In the grand scheme of things there are items that are alot more scarce but this is definitely one of the rarer production items from the kenner action figure line IMO.

What is special about this piece for me is the story behind it. The anticipation of getting this was what made it worth the wait. Searching out the item, being in long dialogue with the seller and securing the deal privately made it feel like I had really earnt the right to own it. It was way more fun and interesting than simply hitting "Buy it Now" on an auction if you get what I mean. It is also the reason why I would find it extremely hard to ever part with it.

The search is everything, i like those six packs better than moc's

 

[plantman]

you won the lottery or summat matey

really nice stuff, likey!

 

[Joe]

Great collection Chris and the multipack pick ups you had lately are really astonishing!

 

[Caswellbot]

Thanks Andy and Joe, no lottery wins unfortunately though Andy. My wallet is hurting for sure. Lol. I will be selling one of the Red Six Packs in due course to recoup some money. :wink:

Glad the SS thing finally arrived. Poor Jabba had a mare with that (and me laughing at him didn't help)!

3 pack looks great!
I've never been sure what to make of six packs, they look very different to most SW packaging, you can't actually see the figures in them, but I guess that gives them there own distinctiveness.

 

[Caswellbot]

Yeah your right it was rather a longwinded affair but through no fault of johns. It all just got a bit complicated. Glad its hear now thogh and it does look good.

As for the six packs, you are right. They are very different and I can see why you may be unsure about them. For me I thinly the irregularity is appealing. So different to the esb three packs that were around.

 

[weasel]

True. They are just very different to the other SW merchandise, I don't really have any strong feelings about them either way, they are in great nick though! 8)
