Latest Acquisitions

[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

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.

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.

Is that difference in color on the the side of the card by his arm normal?? Looks like a reseal patch job for cardback tear damage....but maybe it's just a trick of the camera.

 

[Joe]

Yep it has a tear on it Sold as C5 but bubble is really clear!

I pushed it back as good as possible for the picture but its beyond repair!

Good enough to fill a gap till a mint one comes along

That's ok and I know it was one you needed. Hopefully the Coin sticker is real...and not one of these.............

 

[Joe]

It was bought from theearthtoymall and they have always been highly recommended and when I have used them in the past I couldn't fault anything!

Definitely not fake sticker for the following reasons:
1.) It was £9!
2.) It was sold as seen, damaged and in C5 condition
3.) The free coin sticker overlaps the punch and from the back it is not tacky/sticky and has "Old" dirt on it

How many more questions before you say nice one Todd :lol:

Ok.....Nice one....Glad to see you finally found this one!

 

[Joe]

Thanks Todd!

As I said I don't like to buy and upgrade but...in this case it was pretty cheap and I knew there was a possibility for it to display nicely!

Plus it helps that the sticker doesn't cover any of the cardback artwork

That sticker you have, do you think it could be applied without trace of it being fake?
What kind of paper/glue would you have to do that with?!

 

[gustie]

the res in that pic from todd is pretty poor so i dont reckon that would fool you - unless he has scanned a better res one.... for demonstration purposes

 

[cocofstar]

Nice one making a new addition to the focus Joe

I've been after a coin offer Yoda cardback for ages :?

 

[Joe]

Thanks Coco!

It is really weird when I was just collecting MOC figures ,all kinds, they used to come up all the time and I had loads in my collection over 2 years or so...When you actually want one for a certain figure you can't find them!

Don't worry, this was one of many that suddenly appeared all at the same time! I only got it because it was the cheapest so I am sure a Yoda will come up some time!

I think there is a listing on ebay.com with three Yoda MOCS together, potf one as well unless its been sold...

 

[shawn_k]

Hey Joe the 8D8 looks good. It looks even better than the pic I remember from theearth's website and you can't go wrong with the price. I'll keep my eye out for any more that pop up

Hey Stephen did you see the ESB Coin Sticker Yoda that James Gallo just put up. I thought it was pretty crazy since it was Yoda and then an ESB card on top of that.
