I'm not really a collector but a long term fan of all the toys and often look around forums and websites where people have collected some amazing stuff and this is what led me here. I have my original Star Wars collection from when I was a kid - about 80 loose figures. However, it was by chance reading an old thread recently about the rarity of the Harbert figures and in particular Boba Fett. I started searching around for this rare release and found very little info just that it was rare and only available as a mail order in Italy. Well this struck me as odd as I have a Harbert Boba Fett with a card back which I got in the early 80s. It was the only card back I did not destroy for mail away figures and bounty Hunter capture accessories. I always thought it was special and was the only 21 card back I had seen at the time - and I loved Boba Fett too. I would be interested in any knowledge about this card back and if it is indeed rare.

Some great pick ups again. [mention]Sabbipode[/mention] the harbert Boba card back I would think is rare and very desirable, if you can, put a photo on the forum, that would be a good way of finding out more about it

Welcome to the site, Harbert Boba Fetts are indeed rare, pop some pictures up, would be great to see.

Managed to kind of upload the Harbert Boba Fett card back and figure. Boba always had one leg longer than the other - I have one of those clear disc stands somewhere that he used to stand on. But as I said I bought this in the early 80s.

I've never seen a Harbert Fett bedore.
I dread to think what this piece of cardboard is worth.
 
:shock: new to me... cant wait to hear all about it... cant even comprehend where the value may end up
 
Thanks all. Sorry the pics went up wonky. It's funny I've had this so long, it's just sat in a box with other stuff for years.
 
Andy, well done on completing your Lumat- always nice to finish a figure. Took me 25 years to finish my pop-up R2 :lol:

That Fett cardback is superb- not seen many of those around, that's for sure. Funny how some foreign cards ended up over here back in the day. A few years ago on here, someone was selling their set of spare childhood mocs, which included some Harberts (bought in the UK). Think there was a Death Star Droid 8)

I wonder what happened to those?
And can you imagine what he gave to his kids as presents over the years!

Thank you that's very interesting. I see the death star droid has a uk price tag - it tallies with my thinking about mine being from a bargain centre too.

Mate I've been collecting for over 12 years and my loose set is still not 100% complete with every correct accessory. I got my R2 pop up a couple of years ago and still no saber.. 2 years and counting :lol: I may never get one, I sure as **** ain't paying 150 quid for it.

Just use a Luke Jedi sabre...its more realistic and a hell of a lot cheaper. :wink:

I know mate. I held off for ages, because prices are so out of hand. I eventually pulled the trigger on a really nice (an upgrade on mine), complete R2 a couple of years ago, which was a really good deal and sold my incomplete one to make some money back. Best way to do it IMHO. It cost me around £100, which I could live with for an upgrade, complete with saber.
