[Lee]

I got a real nice small head Han with white moulded legs/black painted. No hair rubs and good paint, just some tiny loss on his toe and back heel 8)Great price too

 

[Bollux]

nice one Lee, I always thought the small head one looked better than the stupid big head they gave him

I'm pretty chuffed with him. Took a chance on it being a moulded legs. I only had the white part at the bottom of the back heel to go on picture wise (other pic not these) It was 50/50 whether it was white moulded or camera flash. Turned out good and a tenner shipped from the states

I'm getting some good buys at the moment 8) Long may it continue

 

[weasel]

Nice effort Lee! 8)

 

[gustie]

well done


see if u can beat £11 for a hollow cheeks sand person

 

[Bollux]

sure i only paid £8 for mine mate...maximum!

 

[Joe]

£8! Thats good , sure its not a Dremmel job??

:lol:

 

[Bollux]

yeah but i think i got it before the variant thing took off.....been collecting loose for about 10 years now

 

[Joe]

Nice one, I don't even know if I have one or not...When I get my loose set back I will take a look as I never ever looked for variants when I collected, I just picked em up as and when I saw them.

I might have loads of cool variants just waiting to be Re-discovered!

 

[Ron]

I just wish i had the money to buy a new aquisition am skint am the mo

 

[shawn_k]

Okay here he is.

Unfortunately he has a few problems I didn't realize when I won him. The lower left of the bubble has a small hairline crack and the hole punch in the S on the English logo wasn't very obvious in the small picture on the auction. i do want to keep him, but am hoping for a little bit of a refund from the seller.

Here is a picture of the bubble crack

 

[gustie]

nice Tri Luke

 

[Joe]

Hey Shawn cool Luke!
I initial looked and thought, wow cool an early Meccano version with the small bubble but looking again it might just be the bubble placement is low..?
It isn't an early Meccano version as I think it had a double stem bubble as well as it being small in size but I could be wrong.

Real shame about the punch hole, I had a whole load of carded Ewoks that were from Kay Bee and were all hole punched to fit their toy displays, unfortunately this one looks home made probably to go on someones wall?

If that crack wasn't mentioned or happened in transit then I would get some money back, although it is still a cool figure for display!

Congrats !

 

[shawn_k]

Thanks Joe. I received an email back from the seller and they offered to refund some of my money or to see if there was some other items in their store I would like. At least it looks like they are a good seller and will work with me. It still makes a good display piece. I've just got to pick me up another acrylic case to display it with the rest of my Lukes.

Here is a close up of the bubble

 

[shawn_k]

I've been doing a little Trilogo research. If I'm reading it right the bubble looks like the Palitoy rotj 45/65 back bubble on this archive guide.

I also checked out the Trilogo Matrix and it shows that this is a known variation for Luke Jedi. There is also the double stem and large etched edges.

Any Trilogo experts want to verify that I have this right it would be much appreciated.

 

[cocofstar]

[shawn_k]

Nice haul Stephen. All the bubbles look pretty clear on all of those. That can be pretty tough especially with most of the Gamorrean Guards I have seen.

 

[Joe]

I took a hint from Jabba...£10 budget..

Managed to pick this up from the Earth for £9 BARGAIN!

And big thanks to Shawn for scouting this out for me ! Keep looking , you get me the best deals lol
