Latest Acquisitions

It's been a while since I picked up an ESB card but just got this D man from Iain. Bought as a beater the bubble isn't in great shape and there's a bit of touch up on the card, other than that he's a belter :)

managed to bag these for my little klaatu focus, i love the fact both suits have REVENGE of the Jedi on them, either an error or produced in line with the film being planned as revenge

:)

Great pick ups all round guys....really like the Hoth trooper MOC. :D

Had a couple of figures arrive in today to add to the focus. 2 slight variants on figures already in the collection. First up is a Taiwan coo, glossy pant figure. Distinctive sheen off the pants compared to the 'matte' finish on the other Light pants, Taiwan figure.

Next up is a Raised Bar China figure. Date stamping is different on this figure. '1977' marking is more centered on the middle line of stamp

@Jeff - Very nice pick up's mate,, so are you sticking with the focus or are you starting to get board..??

Yeah I'm hooked. Delighted with these latest additions. I have another figure in the way and when it arrives I will have a loose example of all 10 figures on Wolffs guide :D
Picked up a very hard to find loose variant last night aswell. Currently on the way from Australia. Will get a picture up once it lands.

Thanks.

My goal is the first 12, Bounty Hunters, Hoth figures, Endor, Skiff/Jabbas Palace - just a select few of these, and Emporer and his contingent.

I pretty much have most of them now with just the expensive few remaining, and the ones that dont really come up for sale often.

As for grade it is really 90 i am after as the 90s really are mint, all my 90s are simply stunning figures and really are the best i have seen.
I find the 85 to be a bit more inconsistent and you have to really look at the pictures in closer detail as there could be marks or discolouration to the figure that are not really wanted or acceptable, or in some cases i have nicer loose ones i could just send off myself (which i am contemplating with my final few). As a result of this the 85s i own are mint as well and stunning figures and in most cases i am at a loss as to how they did not grade 90 - my Leia Organa, Han large Head, Hoth trooper, and Tie Pilot being prime examples.
 
Skywalker - thanks for your comment. I think I have around 30ish now plus some cardbacks that I haven't restored yet due to printer issues :roll:
 
@Jeff - I will look forward to seeing the pic's of the new items, and 10 variants is a great achievement. :D

@Inzaman - I know what you mean about the 85's they can be hit and miss, I have seen some that more like 75.. Your only guarantee of MINT is the 90 grade the loose I have seen graded 90 are absolutely stunning.

@X-pack - Have you done a showcase yet..??
