Very, very nice Chris, that is an awesome addition to your collection mate.

How did you come by this mate? Someone on RS?

Love the idea of 3 pack focus, you've already got an amazing start.

 

[Caswellbot]

Thanks Stu, I cant believe I managed to get hold of it to be honest. Ill PM you with details but it is quite a funny story.

This is my third 3 pack with another in the pipeline so it is a nice start. I highly doubt I will ever get near completing the run but I will try to get a few more for sure. 8)

[Caswellbot]

Lol. That post made me laugh lee. Quality. I am glad you approve dude and yes the at at driver cash did go towards this purchase. I was always going to reinvest the cash as I don't know if I could ever sell up for good. 8)

I'm glad it got you posting dude for sure. All the best! Chris.

Chris that is an awesome addition to your new focus. Well done mate. Doesn't look cheap tho! This focus could be the ruining of you! :lol:

 

[Caswellbot]

Thanks Pete. Yeah I know what you mean. It will just have to be about patience and biding my time a bit more. Lots of saving and searching. It will be a very different approach from what I've done in the past but I'm looking forward to it. You are of course right that it will be very pricey whatever happens so I'm gonna have to do my best not to bankrupt my self. Lol. Fingers crossed.

 

[BlueDog]

Far out Chris, that would have to be one of the coolest pieces I've yet to see. :shock:

Well done mate no wonder your chuffed.

Here are a couple of my recent acquisitions.

First Shot Anakin with dark robes (left) - the difference in colour is quite striking!

Well... this figure came today:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320724432218&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

And guess what- its a standard beater Anakin! Worth the risk as the colour looks great in the auction. Where do I stand with getting my money back? Is it a case of tough **** and my loss?
To be fair the figure is really ratty- it appears someone has used it as a dart board as it is covered in holes and scratches.

Hey Chris PM me with the deails of how you managed to acquire such an amazing piece mate. I am intrigued. It would be much appriecated. Thanks Liam

 

[PGowdy]

Ed, are you sure the figure you received is the same one in the picture? To me the one in the auction definitely looks dark grey and if he has posted a picture of a different item to fool people into bidding then you can get your money back.

 

[e30318is]

Yeah unfortunately its definately the same one- it has the two paint rubs on the leg in exactly the same place.

I think he must have snapped it in a dark room.... swine!!

 

[PGowdy]

I don't think you have much of a case then sadly. Gonna have to chalk this one up to experience i'm affraid. Not worth the hassle.

 

[e30318is]

Yeah thats what I thought. Never mind, it was only £12!

Ive messaged him so I will might get lucky :?

Yeah i agree with Pete. It's unfortunate but there is no wording in the advert to suggest it is anything otherthan a regular Anakin.

I think it is a case of poor lighting - maybe used deliberately - but then again the seller didn't seem that clued up on what he was selling. i think it is highly unlikely that someone would have one of these in their collection and not know what it was.

The difference in colour is actually quite difficult to capture in a photo due to the glossyness of the Charcoal Anakin. When you have it in your hand it is very striking how much darker it is.

 

[PGowdy]

Also, by altering it in a photo editing suite you can make a Light grey Anakin look like a dark one-

I've made the same mistake myself.
