RG moc focus (In Memory of Andy)

[Joe]

Thanks Weaz.

A couple of pictures to add here and my little story-

Firstly a great shot of Andy's living ERG wall!

Secondly this was a great little display Andy built for his bootleg figures:

I was becoming quite friendly with Andy just before he did pass away, we were discussing focus collections and Ledy figures in PM for a little while but unfortunately I missed the news of his death and the sale of his collection due to taking a break around the same time

In 2011 I noticed a few ERG bootlegs going up for sale on Ebay and low and behold they were from Andy's collection.

I managed to speak to the seller (a very nice chap) who was happy to get one of them to me so now I have a bit of Andy's focus in my collection:

He is sat next to the Tri ERG to represent Andy - Hope that makes you smile Andy mate! Take care up there!

That was probably Darren. I think he dealt with Andy's collection, after his untimely passing.

It was Robbie, he helped Darren split the collection up and get it sold.

WOW What a impressive Focus! 8)

Such devasting news of his passing

Another sad loss to the collecting world. Glad i had the opportunity to meet him a few times at shows.

It was one hell of a collection. Very red!

 

[tatsie]

definitely one of the classier figures.

Robbie Mullan I assume? He of Galactables. Decent fella, not sure I agree with his U grading thing tho.

 

[PGowdy]

definitely one of the classier figures.

The ERG and Yoda are my favourite 2 figures. Just perfect design.

Er... so you like the Royal Guards then?! :shock:

Stunning collection of them dude, nice work!

 

[Pomse2001]

That guy had such an amazing royal guard collection.

Sorry to hear that he is not here anymore.

I could have learned much form him.

May he rest in peace

This is a very nice focus collection, for one of my favourite figures. I always enjoy seeing Vintage and Modern together in the same focus.

i love your 4 pack

Awesome pics! You almost have enough Imperial Guards to take over a planet...

Sorry to see the op has passed away,he may be gone but he just put a massive smile on my 5 year old son's face,he loves ERGs (he calls them red guys) and when I showed him this collection his face lit up and he exclaimed 'Wow! Look at all the red guys!'.

They may not have had a huge role in the film but they definitely look damn awesome,they were always one of my favourite figures when I was a kid.

I am 100% sure Andy would be more than happy to know your lad enjoyed his collection, thanks for posting that mate.

This is one of the best focus collections I have seen out there

I seen this many years ago and I very sorry Andy has Passed , the ERG was one of the figures I was considering collecting also. His card and design is one of the best i would say in the whole vintage line and I am glad Andy shared these pictures

May he rest in piece and may the force be with him , am sure he is up there chatting away to Alec Guinness and Ralph McQuarrie bout those ERG.

Thanks

Vince
