Latest Acquisitions

[Grant]

not bought any Han Hoth's in a while, and I've been after this miscard for ages - the card is mint, but the bouble has the usual dings. I'm well chuffed all the same

Thats a craking miscard mate. Thanks for sharing the pic,

Grant.

 

[Bollux]

2 new items added to my chewie focus in the last couple of days - a ROTJ 8 pack (with 5 correctly bagged figs) and the last of the ROTJ cards i was looking for the 65 back D.

Enjoy:

 

[spoons]

nice one steve - can't be much left now

 

[Grant]

Steve,

Nice Chewie items, Good going on finding the last 65 back you needed.

Grant.

 

[burnsy]

Good going Steve.

You have an amazing Chewie focus, but just wondered, have you thought about what you might go for next??

 

[theguiltyone]

Nice mailer Steve 8)
At this rate your gonna need a 3rd display cabinet :roll:

[stevemac1976]

Thanks for the comments guys. I hope i dont need to go for a third display case cos i dont think i have room for that. My latest order of oscar cases should be here soon including my custom risers. Will get the rest of the stuff set up and then display some more pics.

Burnsy - i know i have quite a lot of chewie items but there are loads more to go. I still have 5 more Kenner MOCs as well as most of the Palitoy, LiliLedy etc. I also have taken a real likeness to the multipack mailers and will hopefully be able to pick up a few more of these.

Congrats on the 65D Steve 8)

 

[theguiltyone]

This was a bit of a biggie for me cause ive been after an ESB double stem example for ages:

FX-7 45b

marc

 

[Darth Wensleydale]

Nice one Marc, although I'd say it deserves more than three stars rarity :wink: I can't remember the last time I saw one.

 

[Capetown]

Wow, spectacular! Well done.

One of my favorite cardbacks, this.

 

[spoons]

that looks great Marc - nice photo too

 

[20backdPb]

Well done steve and marc on your new acqisitions.

 

[burnsy]

That's a lovely item Marc, well done mate

 

[cocofstar]

How the hell do the UKG justify giving such an uncommon piece 3 Stars for rariety and they give a VC Jawa 4 Stars? :roll:

I'm sure almost everyone on this forum will agree that they have seen dozens, and in some cases hundreds of authentic VC Jawas in the past on eBay, in collections or at shows etc... How many of us can say they have seen more than 5-10 FX-7s on a Palitoy 45B? Its unbelievable! :shock:

Do UKG have a place like the AFA archive were you can go and check out how many carded examples of this figure they have graded in the past? Would love to see their criteria for scoring rariety.

Anyways, rant over Thats a damn fine piece Marc, congrats 8)

 

[plantman]

I think they need to ditch the star ratings, its opening them up to questioning and different ratings appearing on the same graded figures.

 

[weasel]

Does ANYONE think the stars system is a good idea?

Fair play to them for trying to differentiate themselves from AFA, but I just don't think it works!

 

[**Delboy75**]

Great additions guys.

Marc that is one sweet card, and a great photo too.

 

[plantman]

Its a big put off for me, its a debatable addition and like i said, it can open them up to questioning on their knowledge.
They dont need it, just case and grade..thats what you want at the end of the day.

 

[cocofstar]

Does ANYONE think the stars system is a good idea?

Would be a great idea if they had solid evidence to back it up but I think they are just guessing :roll:

 

[cocofstar]

My latest:-

Luke Bespin 32B (completes my ESB Movie accurate cardback run )
Imperial Stormtrooper Hoth Battle Gear 65B (Rare Kenner Cardback)
Bib Fortuna
Luke Jedi (haven't had a Luke Jedi since I was a kid, thanks Marc )

Hope this aint the start of another Focus! :shock:

 

[stevemac1976]

Coco,

looks like a start of another focus to me. Keep us updated.

Steve

 

[20backdPb]

Nice card's there Coco.
Looks like a Hoth Stormtrooper focus starting there.
Are we going to be treated to a Empire carded Limelight?
As for the UKG star rating, i beleive they should just stick
to the grading. Have they any concrete evidence on the rarity of
a item?

 

[plantman]

Pretty cool...you know its the start of another focus

 

[Capetown]
