Having made use of Dublinjeff's great COO reference guide, I just want to confirm what I have in the attached images, and get an indication of a fair price for them to go to another Forum Member (In the comparison images, Euro figure is on the left & Glasslite on the right).

I read that Unpainted Satchel Chewie did appear on Euro & US cards as well as Glasslite, but thought this was only the later modified mold LFL?

The Chewie in the middle I think is the earlier copyright mold with the lettering that is almost missing, which I understood to be the Euro figure?

So the questions are, PBP/Euro Chewie (Y/N), Unpainted Satchel non LFL mold (Y/N) or could standard figure paint simply have been removed, and a fair price?


Cheers

(And what's the deal with the circle on his foot?)

You can find several Chewbacca with unpainted satchels, I've always put them down as factory errors (besides Top Toys & Glasslite).

There was a recent auction for one here which was a COO# II...

The figure you have with the scarred COO and circle underneath the foot is a Euro/PBP figure which with a painted satchel would be very common. Unpainted wise I've use the link about for reference.

As for the Glasslite even without a weapon these are fetching £35-£50 in this condition.
