A review of Hakes Auction

[Michael Sith]

Great stuff again Rich

The Hakes auction as you allude to, may have a spiraling effect on prices, as its will be used as a benchmark. Won't affect me really though, the prices of some of this stuff is eye watering.

What a great story on Bill Cable and the C3PO hunt, fantastic that he uncovered what he has and able to add to SW lore, astounding that another popped up on eBay so soon after, like busses!

Uzay doesn't do it for me personally, but adds to the rich tapestry of collecting, love to see the smile on a collectors face when they actually have in hand a Grail for them.

Keep up the great work Rich, great stuff

Great info on the land of the Jawas playset. I did not know about the stark differences between the Kenner and Palitoy versions of this playset. Have no idea why I haven't clicked on these links before but I won't be making that mistake again Rich. Great stuff

[TheJabbaWookie]

Great write up Rich. That hard copy is awesome. Amazing to see it in person. Lord only knows what else is in that collection.

It must of been so exciting for the guys meeting ex Kenner employees, dumpster diving and discovering and learning about all this stuff back in the day.

 

[Richard_H]

Thanks! Yes visiting the collection was amazing. I can understand ron not wanting me to share photos but you could have easily spent a full day looking at his stuff and still miss something stellar.

Thanks! Yes visiting the collection was amazing. I can understand ron not wanting me to share photos but you could have easily spent a full day looking at his stuff and still miss something stellar.

Just the stuff he let people see on the Jabba's Q&A live Video post was amazing enough.
