Well after a couple of great though bloody expensive scores lately I fell the time has come to draw the curtains back on my little side rum, I know he is one of the most disliked figures going, but I have always loved it, I think the deep purples of the card picture really pleasing on the eye & he just is one of those loose figures you can add to pretty much any scene if your diorama building, god only knows how many times the one I had as a kid legs were clicked, I even remember having to swap 2 figures for it as he was a real tough one to find in my neck of the woods.

SW 20 back palitoy PD & a real nice find, but the most pocket draining buy to date, has a small tear just above the R & a couple of small dinks on the bubble, worst of it is the footer has come loose under the figure, tried & tried, but I think its staying where it is, it still displays really nice though & the card is pretty minty & its both my first Palitoy & 20 back, just loving the 20 back with the death star making up at least half the back., must take a photo of the back as I forgot to - DoH!.

ESB General Mills PD on a 45 back (don't ask me about A/B's & C's :lol: ) - not that deep in yet, it has a huge bubble on it. - EDIT sadly its Toni :(

Lastly making up the trio is a Kenner 77 back PD, slightly yellowed bubble but still in very nice nick IMO

So 3 different cards SW/ESB/ROTJ which was my aim, but then - 3 different company's & 3 different bubbles, I could not have hoped for greater variation & all offer-less as I bloody hate those SO stickers.

Super rarity & the gem of the focus IMO, Palitoy-c PD Baggie

& with the loose crew -

That's all folks, but if you find any loose PD's on the cheap point them my way please guys ;)

Well an update to this thread is more than overdue & I promised someone I would get some photos up of an item I got for the focus as well as update the thread with the way the focus is looking now, what a change, it's been a very pleasurable focus & hope it carries on being so, I won't rambleon, just share some photos, will try to get some individual pics done when I have more time on my hands which I seem to have none of of late.

Some pictures fellow members have done for me first, though I have one more I can't seem to find.

Brilliant mate - I've always like the little blighter myself - I love the fact that you have the three different cards and that each has a different company
 
Frank that is Stunning! 8) I also love the fact how you have SW ROTJ and ESB on the different companies AND three different bubbles - Impressive Congrats! 8)
 
That's a really cool Power Droid focus! I love that you've got one MOC for each movie logo and not only that you have 3 different distributers.
 
What a brilliant side focus Frank :)

The palitoy is drool worthy!

I was always led to believe it's a tough baggie to find, is that correct?
 
Thanks guys, really am pleased with this run, I was hanging back with this little focus as I have had so many great buys with the baggies lately, but when the ESB & ROTJ cards came up so minty & the price they did I just could not resist, I never dreamt that the SW Palitoy or the kenner baggie would crop up so soon after to complete the run, not going any further with the carded TBH Emiel as I have the 3 headers I want & all offer-less so I am more than happy with what I have, though I would like to add more loose & baggied PD's if I can, the carded ones are to slot in to a much larger focus in time but not more power droids - I have a plan :mrgreen:

You are quite right Ed the PD is super tough to find in a baggie m8 & the palitoy one is one of only 3 know, I should know as I used to have all 3 of them, but like a spare prick I let the other 2 go on the cheap when i first started collecting baggies in my infinite wisdom - LESS! :cry: but its things like that which make you learn, why does it always have to be the hard way though :lol:
 
Nice focus. On the palitoy MOC front the 45c would be the next one to get. The 41 back, 45a and 65d being rarer than rocking horse ****. I see that's a german card, not a 45b, so that's a possible too.

I also like how it has to have an extra wide AFA case when it is graded!

Good luck!

:)
