skemple said:Today was a great day for aquisitions. I received my 65a Blue Saber Luke Jedi that I scored on a $60 BIN. The tape on the accessories has come lose but I don't mind that. It is unpunched and a little extra surprise was that it has a snap cape. I also received a couple of cases from Oscarscases which I'll post pics of as soon as I can get some pictures of them.
i was under the impression the snap capes only came with GREEN sabers....
interesting...

Yeah that's what I thought too. I am planning on contacting ThorOakenfelder on RS about it. On his Luke Jedi research post he had said that from what he had found all snap capes came with green saber Taiwan figures and this is a Blue Saber Hong Kong.

That made me laugh. Yeah variations can get pretty crazy some times. I think that is something that I find fascinating about this figure. I originally had no idea about how many variations there were I just knew it was my favorite figure from my childhood. I started out wanting just the blue and green saber version. The crazy part was the blue one that I picked up at a collectible store on a trip to Vegas for $12 also just happened to be a moulded head luke. I didn't even realize the variation at the time I bought it until I got it back home and compared it with my green luke. Things just kind of went from there as I picked up more loose Luke figures and then I started to fine out about all the carded variations as well.
I received a reply from ThorOakenfelder here is a snippet "that's a good piece. It appears that you are right. blows my theories all to hell, but that has happened so many times in this project that I can't even count."

1) 4-Lom for £3 - Figure is clean and tidy, it came with the backpack which is in good nick although the cape has an ink stain on it, no weapon.
2) AT-AT Driver for £3 - Figure is not bad, some paint wear, no weapon.
3) Han Solo for £3 - Figure is not bad, some paint wear, no weapon.
4) Death Star Droid for £3 - Figure is not bad, some paint wear.
5) Zuckuss for £3 - Tidy figure, very slight paint wear, no weapon.
6) Luke Skywalker (Hoth) £5 - Excellent figure with weapon.
7) Bespin Security Guard (White) £5 - Pretty good condition, minor paint wear with weapon.
8) R2-D2 (Sensorscope) £2.50 - Top dome has slight wear, needs the sticker replacing.
Should have been £27.50, paid slightly less at £26. I could have spent a fortune. As I get paid this week and am due some overtime I'm praying for sun next Sunday as I will be paying another visit!
I will try to get some pictures up later in the week once I'm back home. :wink:

personally, i think that you could have done better on Ebay, and got them complete for only a little bit more than what you paid.
