Shame she put down the Vinyl Cape Jawa cos it was too small and hot, the Blue Snag cos she doesn't like blue and the Yak Face cos it was too ugly!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just won this one on ebay (seller's photo) Pretty pleased as I missed out by $5 on a 12-back Leia a few minutes earlier.

I'm getting my seller to send straight to the AFA for grading... no idea of what the little fella will get but he looks quite nice to me

[rob71]

@Rob71: awesome R2 how much did you win it for?

Around the $450 mark... I'm already a wee bit concerned about spending that much on a figure in case the bubble peels off once I've had it a while, but I've always loved R2 and especially that cardback picture - I'm not sure why they had to "improve" him with a sensorscope either

 

[Stargeezer]

Nice R2 12 Back.

 

[Spookedhippie]

Awesome 12 back!had these arrive yesterday for the focus, afa graded Taiwan and Hong Kong loose... And a factory error 75 back with unpainted neck courteous of Jakabina!

 

[Bramistuta25]

75 back??

 

[Bramistuta25]

Finally picked up one of these flyers!!

These small flyers were packaged with some late-issue Empire Strikes Back toys during 1982 to help drum up interest in Kenner's planned line for the third installment of the Trilogy, which at that point had Revenge of the Jedi as a working title. It is double-sided, with the front displaying the new film's logo and announcing its release date of May 25, 1983; and the back giving a quick rundown of what to expect from Kenner in the near future. Most interesting is the blurb regarding the "new toys from the Star Wars Micro Collection." The various playsets that were at that time being developed to expand upon the Micro Collection concept were eventually dropped and no ROTJ Micro sets were actually produced. This is yet another testament to just how close these items came to store shelves. (Info taken from swca).



Enjoy!!
