Holy 79 backs Batman!

[Joe]

I can't believe it ! (No I haven't found one )

I just looked at a post I made over on RS when I was deciding to go after 8D8 as a character focus, one of the first replies in that thread is a guy who says he just got a nice condition 79back for $20!

This was late 2007 so I had no idea about what was rare or in lower numbers.. why oh why didn't I ask him if it was for sale..

The last post that guy made was in 2007 Although I still just messaged him lol

Joe,

good luck on the hunt for this one. If anyone deserves to have this in their collection it is you.

I have just finished paying for a MOC that i have been after for a while and it should be with me in just over a week. Keep you eyes peeled on the latest acquisitions thread.

I didn't realise it was rare Joe, I just thought for 5 quid you couldn't find one You know I have the cardback so it can't be that rare!

It's rare(r) than the other cards because they seem to have changed the offerless to anakin offers very quickly ! They are out there and in decent numbers, I am just impatient because it's the last one I need for a Kenner set (of 8D8 not a full set )

The main problem is that lots of sellers never mention or take pictures of the cardbacks (especially on ROTJ common characters) so I have to ask questions on almost every 8D8 MOC auction out there.

Definitely not RARE but it is starting to piss me off a bit

8) Hopefully someone comes through for you on your WTB thread on RS You could always reseal my cardback :lol: :roll:EDIT 1 or 2 accessories- some Ewoks have 3- maybe that's why Weasel likes them so much :wink:

If he hasn't posted on RS for 2 years I have a funny feeling you won't hear from him. Although that may mean he's lost interest and (assuming he still it) he may be will to flog it to you.

I thought that as well I had hoped he was a lurker but his post history showed he was fairly active up until his last post.

If that fails I can always do a public shout out using his username to see if anyone has an email address !

On the hunt 8)

And then hope he'll take a fiver for it!? :lol:

Easy on now mate! :lol:

Must be bloody frustrating waiting for that last one mate.

Do you want me to give a Han a call.....he'll knock one up for you.
He'll probably do it for free if he knows it's for you.

Well done Lee.......Go get em Joe 8)

 

[aussiejames]

Joe needs an offerless one?(no anakin offer) and that one is more than 5 pounds & the seller is from a dodgy country:wink: But with a dozen sets of eyes on the look out for him it won't be long till he gets one- maybe
