Nice going

 

[Caswellbot]

Indeed! Looking good Dennis! 8)

 

[BlueDog]

Wicked collection there Dennis!

Received my pop up R2D2 in the mail this morning here's a pic of all my R2's together, not sure whether to go for an early bird version yet! Only Luke Poncho to arrive and I'm done with the loosies! Hoorah

 

[PGowdy]

Awesome Ryan. Bloody love R2s! Nice to see them all in a row. 8)
Do you consider that a complete set or will you be after a Droids one too?

 

[BlueDog]

Damn you Pete you had to mention the droids didn't you! :lol:

I'm frightened if I go the droids R2 then I'll have to go the droids line and then the ewoks too.

 

[PGowdy]

Sorry mate... :lol:
To be honest tho i only mentioned it cos to me, that's a complete set. I'm not really a Droids man and consider it a completely different toy line. But many collectors feel differently and wouldn't be able sleep until they had that quirky Droids R2 in their set... So, which kind are you??... :lol:

 

[BlueDog]

Yeah I reckon I'll sleep well at night without a droids R2 in the line up. I didn't set out to just complete every R2D2 they're just the one's I feel belong to the vintage set so to avoid opening up the pandora's box of never ending collecting I'll be content with these.

[Dark Sith Lord]

Sorry I took photos & everything yesterday for you & just forgot to get back & post them up so here goes for you -

Felt sure I had already answered this - must be loosing my few remaining marbles :lol:

I have done a side on shot of the bowcaster within the baggie for you & it does indeed look like the same & is also the same as the one numbered 3 on the bottom photo.

1 green
2 standard
3 thin

Got some interesting info on this for me then?, always good to know more

Thank you for the response! I have no info on it other than now I wonder if this type of Bocaster is only found with that bagged Chewie...

 

[Badderius]

Nice collection Dennis and Ryan, love the set up and the line of R2s!!

Hey all,

These arrived today so thought I would share, both ROTJ 77BK. ERG is in my top 5 fav fig list so chuffed to get a UP MOC, really good card without going down the AFA route.

Thanks for looking.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Top Quality MOCs Garry!

 

[maniac79]

Great ERG!!!

I doubt its the only way to get the bowcaster as I have as you see a loose one as well which I doubt came in a baggie, best bet is to ask others with MOC Chewies! - & always welcome

To late for me sadly :lol: though its strange what individual collectors see as having to go with the line up as I put the droids R2 in & had not considered the coin, & a truly nice line up Ryan 8) don't think there are any collectors that dislike R2's

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Minty Mint R2 Frank Congrats mate!

 

[PGowdy]

Minty looking Droids R2 there Frank. Very nice. 8)

 

[Frunkstar]

last reply on this thread - promise :lol:

I am uber chuffed as today I added a baggie style to my collection that I have been waiting to have for a long long time, its the SW-e style which were only available through a rare 16 figure multi-pack & not just 1 but 2 of them in the same find , sadly got screwed by the tax man again :evil: but it was worth it & I am going to have a stab at getting a partial refund so with me luck with that!

I also picked this hammerhead baggie up which as far as I can tell no one has ever heard of or seen before :? I took a chance on it as it was for sale from the same guy as the 2 SW-e baggies, rather a large gamble as they were not cheap, but may be a missing link in the "what baggie types are out there" scenario as the heat seals looks to be genuine as both ends are sealed the same with a known seal type - has anyone got a clue as to where it originated? as I am pretty sure its not a fake - very exciting stuff

The print font is almost the same as the SW-e but not quite :?

 

[Badderius]

Nice R2, looks minty as minty can be!!

Grats.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Awesome Baggies Frank! 8) 8)

 

[Badderius]

Fook nice Frank, even better when you have been wanting something for ages and you finally get your hands on it

Fingers crossed my "Grail" arrives nice and safe tommorow.

Again nice baggies, how many you upto now?

 

[Frunkstar]

Thanks guys, believe it or not I got the droids R2 at a car boot sale, it was on a card but had been opened for display, I let the card go as carded is not my thing as a rule, did not pay over the odds for it, but not super cheap either b4 you ask with it being a car boot special.

Thrilled to bits to finally add some SW-e style baggies to my collection, just need to get my hands on a ESB-b style now as I don't have one yet & they look sooooo sweet, best looking baggie style by a long shot but hard to come by.

& I am just over the 130 mark now which include the rebo bank & a probot droid , but have a few in the pipe-line.

 

[Jedi534]

Found a "Twilight" Imperial Commander today and thought it was interesting. Very pale face with an almost Maroon hair color. MIHK COO.

 

[Josh]

Nah that's the Captain Needa variant. Nice score. It should also have a little brown stain near it's arse.

 

[BlueDog]

Cheers Ed (e30318is) for Luke Poncho, he arrived today and completed my Last 17 set. Looks freakin awesome having them all together. Still missing A-Wing pilots blaster and a couple of them like Han Carbonite are a little play with but happy all the same.

 

[e30318is]

Awesome last 17!! They look in great condition, really nice to complete the run. Great work mate.
Glad your pleased with luke

 

[maniac79]

Great!!! The day will come when I will have to hunt them all down one by one and I'm already looking forward to it.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Interesting Imperial Commander and Awesome Last 17 Set Ryan Congrats mate 8)
