Some great & obscure items popping up on the thread now & nice to see members for long a go posting new items with a revitalization of interest for the hobby.

Not my usual thing, but for some reason I always wanted one & I don't even like coke unless its in a bottle or in

thanks to Todd for being a star boy & knocking the sticker up for me & thanks to Scott for the beater R2 to put it on, worked out well as the R2 had a repro sticker on it already so I feel less guilty about the dreaded deed, though having done it I wonder if it would have looked even better on an R5 unit due to the colour.

Big thanks to Steve at UKG. I know some of you guys are just starting MOC's. They look amazing in acrylic. Steve is your man.

So here is a Spanish Luke Skywalker on a British card with an American Bubble:

Maulster - That Luke is great, just read the whole of the thread on the back story. Glad it turned out well for you :D

TwistedMetal - Thats a great haul you've got there, its the Snowspeeder instructions I have got me eye on for some reason? Oh yeah I got a boxed one with no instructions :cry:

Marky - Well done on the grail piece :D time to find a new grail?
 
i agree with maulster on UKG, a massive thanks to steve at UKG too for doing an amazing custom job of my RR ledy fett

Hi Grant,

In response to your question, I can see the attraction of both. Not sitting on the fence here. I like looking at my loose figures, the majority of my collection is loose as is, However saying that I have recently started to focus on getting some of my better loose figures and loose 12 Backs graded or picking up some loose graded figures I wanted, if the price was right :D I still get a great kick out of looking and handling the graded figures and dont feel that it has taken away from my collection or collecting experiance in anyway.

I think Steve and Co. at UKG do a really nice job and the figures look super displayed, in my humble opinion.... I know some people will disagree but hey, thats what makes it fun collecting, no two collectors are the same. I have got 1 MOC graded recently and will be sending some more off again I think they look really nice as well and display great.

To be totally truthful my whole collection is probably an investment for the future for my little one down the line, college, car, who knows. I know that sounds a bit mercenary but i have seen that the graded figures tend to sell well. Anyway, thats a good few years away and I'm sure I will keep something back, even then...:wink:

So, Acrylic v Loose, Both(as you will see in my next LA post tonight :D ).... that is until I can afford to get all of them sealed up in their little plastic coffins... :lol: :lol:

Cheers mate, Jeff

Don't send anything off to AFA until you buy my ESB ones, you'll double your money right?
