Awesome Pick up Ed! Anything that is "Revenge of the Jedi" is cool! 8)

 

[PIGCITY]

Just a quick question on the proof above. How can these be authenticated, I work with a lot of printers in my job and in my experience they will run anything off given a few quid. (the above proofs would be no problem to get done)

Not questioning the above just curious

Awesome proof card Ed. A fantastic piece of preproduction there. Really eye catching. 8)

Pigcity: Is it really that easy to do? Havent print processes and machines moved on a great deal by now? I would have thought the technology to make these would be pretty redundant by now and short of getting an old machine it wouldnt be easy. People have been knocking out fake cards for many years but no one has got it just right yet. Thank God! From the fakes Ive seen there has always been some kind of difference though very subtle sometimes.

There are plenty of old machines around that ran these type of things out. Over the years I have seen many printers/enthusiasts who have old presses etc who find them more reliable and prefer the finishes & still use them. Seriously all it takes is to find a printer who is knowledgeable of the processes with an old set-up to run a near identical cromalin or proof. Cards are more of a minefield due to the stock, die cutting etc. but proofs.......

 

[Frunkstar]

Sure is a strange one Ed & thanks for the useful link

Not sure if I love it or hate it yet, but its a cool find for sure.

 

[Badderius]

Here is my latest offering to the Star Wars gods:

Very sweet indeed, after I finish my MOC run to the quality I want I may go down the proof route, but rather than a full set may be for a char focus, probs Hoth ie Luke Hoth, Han ect ect.

However that is going to be a long way off! So until then I will keep drooling over proofs like yours hehe, again vv sweet item.

Awesome 3 pack Frunkstar

Nice MOC's Badderius I also picked up one of Aussie_Nicks carded figures, a nice B-Wing pilot for a cool $25 delivered great seller.

Was looking at that but someone got to it before me, least I know its gone to a good home Nice pilot and a superb price.

Aussie_Nick is just a superb seller all round, hope he gets his 3K item soon. (RS seller issue). I mean he went out of his way packing, comms on £200 woth of MOCs for me, yet it seems whoever is selling Nick a 3K item hasnt responded in weeks. Sucky....Hope he gets it sorted soon.

Again sweet Pilot there.

Nice! Could you post a pic of Chewie's COO please? Also, is the Bocaster in the pic below similar to the one in that baggie? Note the overall thinner or "flatter" look of the weapon along with the circle on the top rear corner. Thanks!

Cheers for the comments guys- it's a Marmite piece- I think it's the dogs bollocks!
I sort of have a sub focus of alien looking unusual mocs, so this slots in great

Pigcity,

Although in therory you could get this printed again I am fairly sure you could tell it was made yesterday.
Like these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-1...nFigures_JN&hash=item2569150c6e#ht_1101wt_689

Once it hand an item printed yesterday would be easy to spot. I think the toughest thing to fake is the stale fug of a 30 year old piece of cardboard.

Couple of new additions to the "Family".

First up is 12BK C Sand People which arrived this morning, thanks again Jon!! Speedy delivery, well packed and truly an awesome figure.

Nice find Gary!, would you want another?, its in a Kenner box though not a palitoy & is ESB packaging, think its in better condition from what I can tell.

No promises but I may have an option to buy items from a collection soon & that blaster is in one of the photos I was sent.

Loving the 12 back Tusken raider 2 - sweet figure buy the looks of it

 

[Capetown]

I think the Palitoy thing is a very essential part of why Gary bought this Frank. :wink:

 

[PGowdy]

Very cool Pally Pistol Gary. 8) Glad you finally found your piece.

And nice Mocs Badderius. That Sand Person is lovely.
