Show of your truly rare items

[poncho]

I'd missed this thread first time round but had a look thanks to the podcast. There are some amazing items on here, does Laurence own anything not rare

Vinny's C3PO can holder is my favourite piece, quite bizarre - definitely worth bumping the thread for that and all the other stuff. I'm also amazed by only 3 GG cosutmes

My rarest item is probably this transparency for the Han Hoth image on the back of the 41 cards, with 76% sizing information for the printers. Cost a lot more than that beautiful ATST transparency - that was an amazing steal!

Production 41 back

this is a fantastic thread,going to trawl through the lot later when I get a moment, got this little offering, just had it cased to try & protect it & even UKG said they had never seen another, I suspect it came with the dengar as thats the only mailer figure I got as a kid & this is one of only 2 remaining childhood pieces for me, so holds a very special place in my heart.

It was almost thrown out a few years back in a house move,was just about the burn the box off & though I better just check under the bottom flaps & this floated out, lucky escape that was.

Anyone else got one or even seen another?? Jason (Mr Palitoy) maybe??

Yeah, but this one is even cooler as it's a colour transparency.
Great item, like the additional sizing information on it, which shows what part this is in the process.
I also used a similar kind of frame to display my transparency. Displays great I think.

Thanks, if those frames had a back light they would be perfect

I just love this old thread, I will think about what I have of truly rare items in my collection and share them if I have any

 

[Cazza]

Good thread resurrection, Lars!

This is my rare peice. This set took me 22 years to complete, a set of production, prototype and unproduced prototype ewok coins.

Wow that is a great collection and some rare items. Congratulations with completing the run, 22 years is a long time

Certainly is mate, there were times I didn't think I would ever finish it.

I think the same with some parts in my collection. I try to get a complete run of cardbacks for each figure with a danish price sticker on them. I still miss if I remember correct about 7 cardbacks to have a full run and it has taken me now 22 years just like you since I began in 2001 I do not know any collectors that has a full run yet.

 

[Carl Waterworth]

Thats very specific! Is it possible to even get a full run?

I have no idea. I hope I get all 96 cardbacks with danish price stickers one day. But the first c-3po and r2-d2 are extremly rare in danish childhood lots, I have never seen them with a danish price sticker after I began to collect, but I saw them in the 80s in a toy store, they were on esb cardbacks. The funny thing is most of the cardbacks I need is from last 17 the ones I would have thought to be the easy ones to find. Last year I got the chance to get r2-d2 pop up with a danish price sticker from a childhood lot. But seller got to greedy so I did not buy it. A friend of mine here in denmark have about 93 so he only need 3 but the 3 he need are also 3 that I need I think he has the most complete run so far.

I also try to complete a full run of both danish star wars fan clubs magazines from the 80s. The first one from copenhagen is completed and I also have some extra magazines. But there was
also another club in the other part of the country and I have only found a few magazines from that club. I hope one day I will complete bot run.

Last I have for years tried to complete the 4 backdrops from the 3 packs series. I have the 3 of them but the last one is not easy to find. I have never seen it for sale.

 

[Carl Waterworth]

Wow! Sounds you are getting close!

 

[Pomse2001]

Wow! Sounds you are getting close!

yes I am close but now it go very slow with the hunt for the last items if I ever find them.

 

[Cazza]

45b's. Not seen too many others, especially in this condition.

 

[Carl Waterworth]

Wow! The dengar especially is stunning, can never seem to find one these day where the bubble is very beat up
