The fella had some other bits and pieces as well, I always remembered that someone on here had said that 'you wont get, if you dont ask'....I told him I was interested in one of the other cards and Offered €20 (£15) which he said ''ok so''.......Now, I'm no expert, but I think thats not to bad for a MOC, Tri-Logo Yoda , There is a slight hairline crack in the bubble by the cane but as you can see displays great.....................

Holy crap dude. Great pick ups- totally come along way. Great bargin as well. Collections jumped to overdrive.

Got the snaggletooth thanks buddy- well happy.

 

[Joe]

Nice going on the Yoda!

 

[Djbighair]

Awesome fett. Love the chrome dipped figures, they look class. Great way of turning battle scarred figures to something fantabulous.

 

[lee gray]

Looks like a harsh 80 to me. Looks great.

Lee, was the Vlix cased on an angle, or did he shift? Again, looks like a bit of a harsh 80.

He was actually cased at an angle as theres no room for movement if he was straight he wouldnt fit in the case, i was given the chance to have it customized but didnt bother as that would have meant more waiting, also its a strong 80 but i can see why i missed 85 as there is wear on the tips of hands back of feet and all around the bottom part of torso but apart from that its clean.

Would have liked an 85 though I took another photo so you can see no room for the arms to move around for straightness, as a lot of people have mentioned it though even though it dont bother me i might decide to get it recased once i get over the period of wanting to look at him lol

managed to knock him straight

 

[Apollo]

wow nice vlix

 

[Dublinjeff]

Busy weekend! These arrived this morning, Some loose graded bits for the collection, including a really nice (UKG 85) Yoda courtesy of Iain :wink:

Really like the way Steve at UKG is doing the Luke Farmboy with the saber in arm. He said he will do this for Ben and Vader aswell, Looks way better imo.........

 

[Lee77]

Nice one Jeff. I agree about the saber looking better this way. I can never understand why they usually tape it to the side. Well done.

 

[itfciain]

Nice one Jeff - glad to see the yoda graded well - means I can't be too far out with my descriptions !

Cheers mate, was delighted with it, after never having a Yoda I'm now the proud owner of 2 in 3 days..... :lol:

 

[timbo72]

Nice figures Jeff

 

[lee gray]

[Gorneesh]

Dublinjeff That loose graded Luke Looks sweet and I love how he's holding his lightsaber in hand, looks loads better like that than the old tape,

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Love those new pickups Jeff. 8)

If two is one too many mate I am always here! :mrgreen:

Nah only Joking! Great work!

If you are happy with it, I wouldn't recase it. He looks good to me.

How did you manage to knock him straight? I only hope he didn't get any paintscuffs doing that. But at least he looks better now.
So many pages since my last comment, will comment on everything when my latest arrives, so I'm not ignoring the amazing stuff! :lol: 8)

Lee's OCD triumphs over a delicate and expensive Vlix figure! :lol:

You would be surprised the amount of OCD I have I learnt a technique of where to hit the case before when my afa graded boush was not in the correct position in the bubble as wanted her at the bottom, a few hard wacks in a certain spot did the trick .

 

[sith-smith]

My Latest buy. Has been a Holy Grail of mine for some time

8)

 

[tundra9]

Very nice Gary, saw that one on fb, did you really shell out the amount posted there?

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

I too Noticed that on Fb!

Glad it went to a fellow miscard collector such as yourself! Great additon! 8)

 

[lee gray]

Very nice Gary, saw that one on fb, did you really shell out the amount posted there?

I thought I had seen the picture already

Nice purchase Gary

 

[PGowdy]

That's good stuff Gary. I'm a big trilogo miscard fan and that's a particularly cool combo. Mainly because it's a non trilogo figure, so to speak. 8)

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

IMO Gary you got a good deal. I have seen threads on RS dating back 2002-2003 where people say I paid $600 for mine back then! Nice pickup

 

[tundra9]

Oh, and I didn't mean to sound like it was a bad buy, not at all, it's a freaking awesome miscard!
I just paid about half of that for my grail.

 

[Joe]

Glad you did get it Gary, I got wind from Mark that you were going for it! Couldn't have gone to a better collection

 

[flycasual]

I wondered what was going on there! 8)

 

[sith-smith]

Cheers guys. Shocked at the price, but I guess it's a widely sort after miscard and I'm certainly glad to have another grail out of the way and now gives me 21 miscards

Tundra9, where abouts on fb was it?

 

[PGowdy]

Have you put a group pic of all your miscards up on the forum yet Gary?? Would love to see them all together. 8)
