Luke Jedi Focus

[shawn_k]

I was looking back and noticed the last time I posted my focus pictures here was back in 2009. Even though I put them on RS, I figured I'd put them here too for those that don't venture over to the dark side. Thanks to everyone that has helped me along the way. I appreciate every pm that has been sent for even the smallest lead to an item.

Keep up the amazing work 8)

Always loved your focus Shawn! It looks great with the side focus of lightsabre stuff now!

What's next?

Outstanding Shawn. Best figure in the Jedi line in my opinion.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Very Impressive Focus there Shaun! Love it! 8)

 

[PGowdy]

Love Luke Jedi, one of my favourite figures. What a great focus. That pre-prod Luke is very weird! Always liked when he is "wearing" his cloak on moc too. 8)

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, really appreciate them.

That's always a tough question because you never know when things are going to turn up. I'd really like to add another proof card or cromalin this year and I'd like to add some more to the foreign MOCs like Clippers, Toltoys, and a 65 Canadian. I haven't seen some of these in quite some time.

For the Force Ligthsaber, I'd like to find a yellow one with a ROTJ transition sticker, but they also appear to be pretty tough to track down and I'd like to get the proof and cromalin for that run framed up sometime soon.

WOW, that is a focus and a half. Very impressive. Love it.

[shawn_k]

Thanks for the new comments. I just updated the thread with the 65C Blue Saber and Toltoys that I recently added and fixed a few pictures.

PM sent with some info for you.

 

[Mr Kenner]

Really nice focus and one of my favourite figures as a kid. Thanks for sharing.

 

[jackabina]

i think thats the best focus i've seen.
it's more than just various card, theres a real history/research feel to it.
well displayed aswell.

 

[Pomse2001]

Wow Shaun that Luke Jedi collection is pretty cool.

I hope you find the last missing pieces that you seek for your amazing collection

A year has passed since I last posted this, so I thought it was time for an update. The main post now has all, but here is what I was able to acquire in 2012 and the first month of 2013. I knocked off quite a few from the wtb list and a big thanks to everyone who has helped me out. I really appreciate it. I've rearranged the display cabinet a bit so it is mostly MOCs now. I'll post a new pic of that soon.
