Hard Torso Stormtrooper Question

[tiefighterboy]

How rare are these? Is this the price they sell for? Were they only tri-logo and PBP?

In my experience Todd they arent that hard to get hold of and are often mis-sold as not all collectors can tell the difference. (Unfortunately its not easy to tell the difference from ebay pics either)

Myself and Ed saw one at a toy fair recently for about £12-15 pounds and it was in very good nick. I think the guy thought it was just a normal stormie. Neither of us bought it but probably should have in hindsight.

They are probably more abundent over here for obvious reasons but I think you can pick them up for £20-25 tops in really nice condition. Ill keep my eye out next time Im at a fair. :wink:

Thanks. I have one........I think (Torso and scuplt are way off from a normal stomie and the material is whiter and harder..."Do not take a piss on that laste statement :lol: ). Wanted to sell him.

I wont stoop to your smut Todd so dont worry. :wink:

The sculpt is slightly different and the plastic has a noticeably different feel in hand but I dont think semi serious collectors always pick up on it so I bet plenty slip through ebay undetected. They are quite a nice variant I guess... if you're into variants. :wink:

I have several of these in my "army". Not that rare.

Might put him up the bay and see what happens.

The 2 line no COO like the one pictured are incorrectly refered to as Tri/PBP. And are 'common' outside of the US.
The PBP & Ledy are 1 line no COO.

Yeah i have had quite a few they just turn up in lots all the time,, Hoth troopers too.
I have a less in this army than the last one,, it was riddled with em.

They dont go for much more unless they are minty then variant deviants want em.
