My new ROTJ Bossk Proof....

Im gettting there slowly, i have swung more towards bossk stuff at the moment as the other hunters are getting hard to find.
 
Lovely Andy, really nice.

I'm loving proofs at the mo, had my eye on a Jawa ESB 31 back yesterday.
Went for £270!!! Madness!!!

Go for the Bossk focus, he's a great figure with a few nice variants to collect on card.
 
Thanks burnsy,

yeah i was watching that as well, i may keep with the bossk focus and just pick the odd bounty hunter up along the way, i got an ESB boba fett AFA 75 the other day so only need the 4-lom for an ESB set (apart from greedo)
 
Yeah probably not worth it as i dont think it will do much for your profit margin, let a die hard fanatic pay for it grading. still a top buy no matter what.

Possibly Grant,

I seem to be picking up Bossk stuff, got a nice complete mailer AFA 80, but yeah i will ask around and see if there is any i like, i would like a set of all bounty hunter proofs but its money that will stop me. Ive already gone off the idea of the ROTJ MOCs, ive nearly got a full set of ESB ones.

Hello,

There are 4 for sale on RS as we speak. JohnA is the seller so they should be in excellent condition.

Cheers.

Grant.
 
Cheers Grant!!

I have never seen any off the SW proof cards for sale. What would these be worth ?

Ron,

The original Luke 12 back proof was for sale ungraded on RS for $1800 about a month ago.

Cheers.

Grant.

PS I think when the 12 back proof cards come up for sale they are all worth around £1000 each but i could be wrong.

So depends on the character.
Luke seems to be the most common by far hence the entry level price :roll:
These things have waiting lists rather than come on the open market.
A breakdown of 12 and 20 back proof numbers is given here:

Finally got myself an ESB Boba Fett, its i great shape but got a grade 75, (i have been severely dissapointed with some gradings from the AFA of late)

The card is fantastic, the bubble does have a ding on the front, the figure has faded limbs, however the bubble is clear and the fading is on all sides of the limbs so im guessing its not sunlight exposure (hence clear bubble) and the fact the sun probably wouldnt fade the back of his legs.

I was thinking it was factory faults from production? what do you guys think?

Anyway, i love it and got it at a reasonable price.
 
Nice Fett Plantman 8)

My Fett on 41D has the same problem :- http://www.landoslocker.com/range_starwars/images/boba_fett_1/boba_carded_41d.jpg

I used to believe that it was a proper variation and now I think it has something to do with the plastic deteriorating. :?

Yeah it would be interesting to find out wouldnt it, if the plastic did deteriorate wouldnt the colors on the arms and knees fade as well? as they still look pretty crisp, it looks like they had a color mismatch with the hollow hard body and the solid limbs...im going to try and find out :)

I would say the fact that the limbs are made from a much softer plastic than the torso is probably a factor in the deterioration.

Just take a look at figures like the Green limbed Chewbacca:- http://www.landoslocker.com/range_starwars/images/chewbacca_1/chewbacca_hk_green_limbs.jpg

Pink limbed Leia Organa's, Yellow limbed Luke Farmboys, Yellow limbed Stormtrooper, Yellow limbed Hoth Stormtrooper and green limbed Wickets:- http://www.landoslocker.com/range_rotj/images/wicket/nocoo_green.jpg

I've also seen fading with Bossk and Luke X-Wing too:-

Sorry I don't have pics of the other handy but I'm sure you've seen them before and know what I mean. :wink:
