I know this is rare, but is it THAT rare!?

[weasel]

I know bog all about the Droids line, other than Vlix is bloody hard to get, but is this one worth this much!? :?

Carded Vlix's are few and far between, is the price a little optimistic, yes I think so. The last one I have a price on is $8100 from december 2006 but can't be sure if it sold.

HH may be brokering it for someone though, so the price may be inflated due to the HH cut after the seller has got what they want for the item.

Lafos, the bottom picture on your blog is of a Kenner First Shot rather than a Glasslite. Wasn't sure if you were aware of that.

How many carded Vlix's are known to exist, anyone any idea?

 

[Ron]

Difficult to say. I've heard talk of around 20-25 Kenner First Shots (loose), maybe a few more loose Glasslite's (not all with original weapon) and maybe 10 carded Glasslite examples.

Isn't it stupid that they're so expensive. Before they all got stolen I had 2 Luke Bespin MOCs that were one of a kind, but only worth about £150.

I bet there's a variation of Lobot MOC that's rarer than Vlix, and plenty of Palitoys.

 

[spoons]

I've never understood why the rare 4-LOM offeless front, but 4-LOM offer back, goes for so much - a one of a kind Luke bespin is a much nicer item

 

[Josh]

In a word "HYPE"!!!

 

[Adam_Burges]

Vlix is a unique figure whilst Luke Bespin or Lobot can be found on many cardbacks, fair enough there are rare versions of alot of figures on specific cardbacks but the same figure can be found on standard cards.

I agree about Vlix - but what about 4 -LOM ????

 

[AndyG]

I can understand about the 4 LOM.

Last year I picked up a Canadian Nien Nunb with Nien Nunb Offer, it is quite mad to have a carded figure carrying an offer for for the figure that is carded on the card that has an offer for the figure. I wouldn't be after the 4 LOM as ESB cards don't fit in my collection, but I can relate to that sort of carded variation.

I still see it as a few hundred pound curiosity like a trilogo miscard, rather than a few thousand pound must have

the tri-logo jawas and madines may be more comparable to one of a kind luke bespins (or Han hoth's), as they are just regular figures on hard to find cardbacks - but cost thousands

Edd's Lukes and a coupel of my Han's are one of a kind or two of a kind items that sell for £150-£200

makes no sense to me

 

[Bollux]

Spoons...would you rather your Hans cost more?
