Again great addition Joe. I'm glad you were able to secure him for your collection.

Some great buys here everyone. So, apart from the LL, is that the last card you needed Joe?

 

[Joe]

Almost! I need 3 more- Ledy, PBP Trilogo, Trilogo + Italian General mills sticker

The first two are heavy on the wallet and I might just get lucky with that Italian minor variation somewhere along the line!

Thanks again everyone, I knew you all secretly liked him :mrgreen:

so i joined in,

me and my crazy impulses

sorry folks

I thought exactly the same :lol:

[Lee Gregory]

Some cool new additions lads....

Joe that 8D8 looks a real beauty,congrats on the find!!!

 

[Clone Collector]

Jesus that 8D8 looks like the mintest Star Wars figure I have ever seen! I'm sick as a dog.

My latest arrivals in the vintage line would be a Luke Bespin, no COO, just "Made In" with country missing. A boxed vintage Imperial Star Destroyer playset came too. The only part missing is the mounting bracket for the laser cannon. Any body got a picture of one of the brackets?

 

[cocofstar]

Damn fine score Joe :shock: Congrats buddy!

 

[Joe]

Really really appreciate everyone's comments, it goes without saying that it's not only a very rare version but the condition is just scary. (I can't believe how nice it is in person, I tried to take some pictures but couldn't do it justice at all)

I got so lucky, seller is a gent as well, makes a deal much more enjoyable when you like the seller/buyer!

I was really waiting to do a big update with a group shot in 2010 for my focus but as I tried to win some support on RS for 8D8 in that silly game ( :mrgreen: ) I bumped the FOTW thread with this item and let the cat out of the bag so I should really show you guys it as well :

77A Return proof (direct from Mr Kellerman) *Huge shout out to Shawn for his help, also to Christian!

 

[Ron]

well done joe you have been busy

 

[Capetown]

Joe,

sweet proof card mate. Do you know how many more are out there to collect - this is where the hobby starts to get really expensive.

Next you will be buying first shots and hardcopies of the white skinny droid.

Nice pick up though.

Steve

 

[Joe]

Did you hear that Joe?

Hear what Emiel? (I predict some sharp interjection of wit and possibly a funny at my expense with your next reply as it's gone completely over my head lol )


Thanks Ron + Steve, I have indeed been busy and yes it is getting expensive!

There is a lot more pre production out there than for most characters Steve, its just finding the funds

There are 3-4 more GRADED proofs/cromalins (think unproduced POTF..yeah..uh oh!) and of course more ungraded that I know of.

As for 3D, well in the last two weeks thanks to a picture Shawn reminded me of and another surprise post on RS from a really cool guy I now have a tally of 6 (yes 6!) First shots, so there is a big possibility of finding one at a price I can afford I hope.

2010 will be slow but hopefully rewarding and I would be happy if I could pull off one more pre production piece in a year!
