Hey guys, been away again for a bit, lost the bookmark for the site and just noticed it was missing!

Going for trawl through the latest buys in a bit but thought I would post this little guy, off Ed on Collectors Cantina.

 

[Clone Collector]

Oh, had one of these too, a Jedi carded Lili Ledy Vader, MIM with hole in the rear of the card and fat tip saber..

Can't remember if I posted this too..

 

[poncho]

i thought ledy figures had the ledy logo on the front of the cards

 

[Clone Collector]

Ledi made their own figures for the Mexican market with the Ledi logo but the factory also made them for the kenner market to, Kenner logo's have a thinner card, shiny front and a matt textured, colour rear. There is a small hole that is usually present in the O of the word OF in Return OF the Jedi..the bubbles are usually sharper edges, closer fitting and missing the cross hatched glue pattern under the edges.

Hi Guys, as some of you may be aware I have recently been selling off a large part of my carded collection. Not selling up but in fact, changing focus slightly.

After a long wait and a huge hold up at customs yesterday I received my latest purchase which will mark the beginnings of a new focus.

What you see below is a Former Kenner Employee's Prototype Android 3 Pack. Although looking very similar to the production version of the Series 1 Android set, this particular pack is rather unique. You should be able to notice the difference in the Punch style (single round hole rather than a regular hanger tab) The other main difference is the black cardboard bar at the top of the window which is quite prominent.

This bar was removed before before production in order to allow better visbility for the writing on the blue background as this is clearly obscured on this version.

As far as I know, this set was only ever available from the Kenner Employee store in Cincinatti and I believe only 2 examples have surfaced so far. This set and one other which sits in the collection of Joe Barr (who also has the Heroes set and Villains set in the same prototype format)

More info can be found below at the SWCA website. You should also notice that this is the exact same set pictured on the website.

I have also included a pic of the set next to my White ESB Test Packaging Heroes Set.

I am obviously ecstatic to own such a fantastic piece and although I have sold off a large part of what I had I dont regret it in the slightest. This marks the start of a 3 pack focus for me. I have a couple of things in the pipeline and hope to update my limelight thread in the near future.
