Hi guys, a few pages back in this thread I talked about I have been lucky to find 3 danish childhood collections. Here is the first lot I found. The good news is a got it very cheap, Amanaman have a paint mask that I was missing, Hoth Stormie have a no coo scar that I was missing and Bossk have a very cool head, much darker green than other I have seen but he also seems to have some light color spots on the head :? The red around the neck seems also to be a little darker than the others I have with the same coo.

The bad news is I think some kid have been cutting the feet and arms with a knife and that figure is so nice white, with stiff arms and legs and with a scar that I was missing :( I don't think the marks can come from the factory.

Nice one Maulster, you learn something new everyday, thank you. My childhood SW Kenner Luke & Jawa cards are full colour, so this is a nice different one for me. I don't have the Kellerman book and am unlikely to get it judging by the price it goes for!

Some Kenner Star Wars backs have suffered a black and white Luke and Leia. Mine is the same on R5. It's mentioned in the Kellerman book

I had an R2 like that, the logo is most obvious missing colour but actually the whole Card is. These prints where made using four different colours (CMYK) and if On colour us running out/low ok a plate, you'll get this difference, judging by your Card it looks like it was the yellow wich is not applied correctly. (My R2 was missing blue).
Compare your R5 Side by Side with another R5 and you'll see that the whole image Will be in a different colour/shade.
 
Some very nice complete figures which I got with a card back lot, all ready for flipping.

Was able to pick up this lot. Nearly all of the figures are in (almost) perfect condition. No paint loss at Dignitary or Boba Fett for example. A lot of the figures have never been given a weapon or accessory.

Hi Paul, thanks mate for the kind words :D

Very nice gunner you have bought with a really nice cardback :wink: I love those gunners :D
 
A long time ago in a childhood far, far away............

my dad went on a work trip to the USA, he bought me this Chewbacca as a present.

This is how my love of Star Wars started. I'm so glad I held onto my childhood collection.

I've now reunited my OG Chewbacca with a Kenner cardback, brought back from the USA by my mum!
