@Inzaman - Lovely additions mate,, and you have a great collection of MINTY afa figures... What is your goal, all the figures graded minimum afa 85..??

Great pick ups all round guys....really like the Hoth trooper MOC.

Had a couple of figures arrive in today to add to the focus. 2 slight variants on figures already in the collection. First up is a Taiwan coo, glossy pant figure. Distinctive sheen off the pants compared to the 'matte' finish on the other Light pants, Taiwan figure.

Next up is a Raised Bar China figure. Date stamping is different on this figure. '1977' marking is more centered on the middle line of stamp

Close up of the two different Raised Bar China figures. Latest addition on top

Yeah I'm hooked. Delighted with these latest additions. I have another figure in the way and when it arrives I will have a loose example of all 10 figures on Wolffs guide
Picked up a very hard to find loose variant last night aswell. Currently on the way from Australia. Will get a picture up once it lands.

@Inzaman - Lovely additions mate,, and you have a great collection of MINTY afa figures... What is your goal, all the figures graded minimum afa 85..??

Thanks.

My goal is the first 12, Bounty Hunters, Hoth figures, Endor, Skiff/Jabbas Palace - just a select few of these, and Emporer and his contingent.

I pretty much have most of them now with just the expensive few remaining, and the ones that dont really come up for sale often.

As for grade it is really 90 i am after as the 90s really are mint, all my 90s are simply stunning figures and really are the best i have seen.
I find the 85 to be a bit more inconsistent and you have to really look at the pictures in closer detail as there could be marks or discolouration to the figure that are not really wanted or acceptable, or in some cases i have nicer loose ones i could just send off myself (which i am contemplating with my final few). As a result of this the 85s i own are mint as well and stunning figures and in most cases i am at a loss as to how they did not grade 90 - my Leia Organa, Han large Head, Hoth trooper, and Tie Pilot being prime examples.

Skywalker - thanks for your comment. I think I have around 30ish now plus some cardbacks that I haven't restored yet due to printer issues :roll:

 

[skywalker]

@Jeff - I will look forward to seeing the pic's of the new items, and 10 variants is a great achievement.

@Inzaman - I know what you mean about the 85's they can be hit and miss, I have seen some that more like 75.. Your only guarantee of MINT is the 90 grade the loose I have seen graded 90 are absolutely stunning.

@X-pack - Have you done a showcase yet..??

 

[x-pack]

Skywalker - no actually, I haven't. Must do one

[Pomse2001]

Some B wing goodness today.

Baggie that i dont have which makes 4 different B wing baggies. Also a battered tri logo

Wow Tim, beautiful moc, love that tri-logo, also a cool baggie 8)

 

[Pomse2001]

Love your B Wing pilot focus Tim

Well 25 years ago today I chatted up this cute blondie at the local bonfire - must have had some pretty good moves as she is now my wife
And look what she just gave me to mark our 25 year 1st date anniversary

Talk about a keeper (her and the figure)

I am a very happy and lucky man

Hi Mate, wow nice moc. Looks like you have a wife that every star wars collectors will dream about

 

[Pomse2001]

My latest buy thanks deber

Hi Carlos, wow nice collect all 21 display :shock:

 

[jedi_masters]

More and more great new additions guys.

Got a couple of bits in this morning, 2 more loose to come which will hopefully be turning up tomorrow (so long as Andy has got his but of the sofa and posted the figures!!! :lol: )

Anyway, a lovely loose Nikto from Marc (Starwares), make sure you all check out his new website.



And a run of the mill POTF Nikto from Weasel!!!!!! ******* love it, never thought when I started collecting MOC's I would ever have a rare MOC like this in my collection. It really is a thing of beauty.

 

[Christian]

Jessssssusssssssss! Now that is one helluva way to satiate a drought Chris! Bravo indeed.

I'd be surprised if this wasn't the best example in the UK - far harder to find than a POTF Yak MOC. Sweeeet piece and yes I'm very jealous.

Cheers,
Christian

 

[itfciain]

Agree with Christian - that is a thing of beauty there Chris

It is one of the ones I need and I have been eying up Weasel's sales thread for months now but could never find the funds to pull the trigger - glad it has found a brand new home and bet it will take pride of place

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

WOW Chris! Beautiful POTF Nikto mate! It looks fantastic :shock:

 

[jedi_masters]

Cheers guys. It's on my dining room table at the moment, I don't actually want to put it away in the cupboard like the rest of mine, cant stop looking at it. Seems a waste for it to be shoved in a cupboard.

Iain, I am more than happy to give you first refusal if and when I come to sell it.

 

[Spookedhippie]

Wow on the nikto!

Good to see it's gone to a good home! 8)

Enjoy!

 

[weasel]

Ps, first time i've checked this thread in a long long time, so a big pat on the back to everyone for all the great additions. Apart from variants, they don't count :lol:

Had this beauty show up today

Not a LL collector but loving that cardback probably due to the fact the LL logo is on it - why couldn't the Palitoy cardbacks have been like that (although if they had they'd been even more expensive!)
