Ideas for focus continuation

[edd_jedi]

I'm nearing completing my 12 back set, so am trying to think ahead as to what to do next. I'm really struggling! Here's my ideas and their flaws:

1) 21 backs to finish SW run - would look great but Boba Fett and Stormtrooper are stupid money/rare
2) First 12 on ESB and ROTJ cards - R2 and 3PO aren't available on ROTJ cards

So basically I want to add to it, but don't want to start something I can't finish due to rarity, price or even existence. I like the idea of any run all being on the same card front (eg the same offers etc.) Any more ideas!?

Ewoks.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't listen to Joe!

I'd love to go for the first 12 on ESB and ROTJ cards myself Edd (if I ever had the money)

I have nothing against ewoks but will not be doing a run :lol:

Yes I really like the first 12 idea, it's just such a shame about R2 and 3PO as all the other figures are available on all three cards with the original photo.

I've always fancied a Hoth run. All Hoth based figures/card-backs on ESB. Then there's Droids. All droid figures on their first backs. R2, R5, IG-88, FX-7 etc etc.

What about a stormtrooper set? or bounty hunter set?

Edd,

I think you should go for a Prune Face focus! :lol:

 

[edd_jedi]

I think Imperial Nut might kill me if I did a Stormtrooper set! And I like the idea of prune face, that would probably take a week and cost £11.55 to buy every MOC :lol:

Nah Ed if its MOC's go ahead,, as i have seen the price of stormie 12 backs and POTF's.
If i would be interested in one more, it would be A german Esb offerless stormie,, and i wont be able to afford that for ages.

however ,, if you went hunting loose,, we would have words

Why do you think Petes got into Ewoks lately :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

How about a vehicle focus ?

Hey Edd- how about a Tri Logo Luke run-

Luke Farmboy
Luke X Wing
Luke Bespin
Luke Hoth
Luke Jedi
Luke Poncho
Luke Stormtrooper

The Luke Hoth is a tough one though... It would be a cool run 8)

Nice idea but I used to have all those, I'd rather do something new. Cheers though!

How about these:

On a serious note how about:
POTF Coins,
Micro Collection
Boxed Die Cast Vehicles
12" Line
Proof Cards

Personally I am really enjoying Collecting the Cartoon Droids line MOC. I have never seen an episode of the cartoon but I love the figures.
They are relatively easy to find but a challenge to find in great condition and with clear bubbles.
The majority will set you back £20-50 each (For Kez, Jord, Thall etc)
Then A Wing Pilot, Tig Fromm, R2D2 and C3PO are more like £100-150 each
Sise is a tough figure to find £180-250
Boba Fett is the toughest- £400-10000!! (I got lucky with mine!)

Yeah vehicles,, that might be good but you need space,,
or what about a rebel soldier focus, hoth, endor, rebel commanders, a-wing , b-wing we could have wars. :lol:

or if moc imperial officers i have always liked the idea of doing a run of them (but cant) but you could ,, then i could look at them on here and save a fortune.
seriously that could be a good one as they are available and would look cool.

 

[edd_jedi]

Space isn't a problem (I have some display cabinets that need filling!) But the only thing that puts me off vehicles is that you can't see them, you're basically just buying a box! And I don't really like the idea of opened boxes.

Is a Droids Fett really that expensive these days? Crazy. Used to be a £75 figure at best.

The coin sells for over £100 loose!!!

 

[plantman]

Do a diorama scene, a hoth scene would look cool, im sure someone else did it with snowspeeder and at-at

And yeah droids fett can fetch up to £1000 in 85 condition.

I sold a beater for £400
