I took a hint from Jabba...£10 budget..

Managed to pick this up from the Earth for £9 BARGAIN!

And big thanks to Shawn for scouting this out for me ! Keep looking , you get me the best deals lol

Is that difference in color on the the side of the card by his arm normal?? Looks like a reseal patch job for cardback tear damage....but maybe it's just a trick of the camera.

 

[Joe]

Yep it has a tear on it Sold as C5 but bubble is really clear!

I pushed it back as good as possible for the picture but its beyond repair!

Good enough to fill a gap till a mint one comes along

That's ok and I know it was one you needed. Hopefully the Coin sticker is real...and not one of these.............

 

[Joe]

It was bought from theearthtoymall and they have always been highly recommended and when I have used them in the past I couldn't fault anything!

Definitely not fake sticker for the following reasons:
1.) It was £9!
2.) It was sold as seen, damaged and in C5 condition
3.) The free coin sticker overlaps the punch and from the back it is not tacky/sticky and has "Old" dirt on it

How many more questions before you say nice one Todd :lol:

Ok.....Nice one....Glad to see you finally found this one!

 

[Joe]

Thanks Todd!

As I said I don't like to buy and upgrade but...in this case it was pretty cheap and I knew there was a possibility for it to display nicely!

Plus it helps that the sticker doesn't cover any of the cardback artwork

That sticker you have, do you think it could be applied without trace of it being fake?
What kind of paper/glue would you have to do that with?!

 

[gustie]

the res in that pic from todd is pretty poor so i dont reckon that would fool you - unless he has scanned a better res one.... for demonstration purposes

 

[cocofstar]

Nice one making a new addition to the focus Joe

I've been after a coin offer Yoda cardback for ages :?

 

[Joe]

Thanks Coco!

It is really weird when I was just collecting MOC figures ,all kinds, they used to come up all the time and I had loads in my collection over 2 years or so...When you actually want one for a certain figure you can't find them!

Don't worry, this was one of many that suddenly appeared all at the same time! I only got it because it was the cheapest so I am sure a Yoda will come up some time!

I think there is a listing on ebay.com with three Yoda MOCS together, potf one as well unless its been sold...

 

[shawn_k]

Hey Joe the 8D8 looks good. It looks even better than the pic I remember from theearth's website and you can't go wrong with the price. I'll keep my eye out for any more that pop up

Hey Stephen did you see the ESB Coin Sticker Yoda that James Gallo just put up. I thought it was pretty crazy since it was Yoda and then an ESB card on top of that.

 

[Joe]

Double post!

 

[Joe]

Hey Joe the 8D8 looks good. It looks even better than the pic I remember...

Well it sure is better than I expected! ...In this picture it does look likes its been karate kicked from behind!!







Nice Yoda as well, we should call you the hunter lol
Let us know if you go for it Coco!

 

[cocofstar]

Have been eyeing that one up for a while guys and I think he has dropped the price slightly. I'm very tempted and might make him an offer on it :wink:

 

[spoons]

great piece Joe - I've been after a 79 back Han Hoth for a long time...

Coco have you come into some money I'd love to see recent photos of all your collection :shock:

Tie fighter pilot No coo with partial coo remaining on both front legs.
Wollf's reference site has the HK one with front leg coo but not this No coo one

Rebel soldier with cream arms and White painted legs
with unpainted top leg - Possible early pbp variant according
to Uli's pbp guide

 

[snagbar]

allso the hk one i've got two versions of it.both got the
erased bit's on front of legs but the made in hong kong
start's higher and lower up leg!!!!!!!

 

[snagbar]

PLUS going through my spare tfp

[gustie]

Strange how the front coo only occurs on the Tie pilot :? Anyone any ideas as to why?

Stick it on ebay as a mega rare variant :twisted: :lol:

 

[gustie]

blame the stamper...


he stamped to COO on the front of the legs then it was filled in like how PBP COO's are removed.

it would have cost alot to throw a mold away coz of that!

Today was a great day for aquisitions. I received my 65a Blue Saber Luke Jedi that I scored on a $60 BIN. The tape on the accessories has come lose but I don't mind that. It is unpunched and a little extra surprise was that it has a snap cape. I also received a couple of cases from Oscarscases which I'll post pics of as soon as I can get some pictures of them.

 

[shawn_k]

Okay here are the cases. I love displaying the mail away figures this way.

 

[Joe]

Nice Shawn!

I still haven't got a loose snap cape Luke!

Great set of cases from Oscar, if you ever order Tru-view for your carded and order too many ( :roll: ) let me know haha
