Latest Acquisitions

[Bramistuta25]

When they were produced there were 50 of each of the revenge proofs... Some were probably ruined or destroyed, some dumped in the bin or dumpsters and salvaged, but from what I know quite a few sets were taken home by Kenner employees.

Over the years the sets were either sold as a set or broken up and have gone into collections. The rarity is relative to what has survived and popularity. The lesser characters change hands all the time due to cost and popularity but the more popular go into black hole collections or character focus so are harder to attain and cost considerably more.

My proofs have only come from two sources and they have both dried up now. So the hard work starts here for me. Trying to unlock the more popular ones is gonna be hard work.

Hope this helps.

So I roll in from work tonight to be greeted with my girlfriend telling me her mom had been over and dropped off a couple of Star Wars figures she bought at the car boot sale last Sunday because she knows "I like that sort of thing".

Oh joy I think, expecting her to present me with a monkey faced Leia and a sunburnt stormtrooper....

Instead she pulled out these :-o

After I picked my chin up off the floor I started to ask a lot of questions s you can imagine, apparently they had "loads" including a "four legged walky thing in an Empire Strikes Back box, but they wanted £30 for that!"

Must start having Sundays off!!!
