The circle is complete. Well, my MOC ESB collection.

After a few years and some good deals and a slow crawl to the finishing post I have completed my MOC Kenner ESB collection. Many thanks to all who are on these boards who have helped along the way!

Excellent collection, i really like the ESB cards for some reason; them and the POTF cards are my favourites.

 

[edd_jedi]

looks great man. kind of wish i hadn't sold all my ESB's sometimes.

 

[cocofstar]

Thats a fantastic collection Graham 8) Very well done mate :wink:

ESB cards are definately the best

 

[Bollux]

cracking collection there mate!

ESB cards are fantastic, the backs are good too, some of the colours are crazy!

 

[Graham_Marshall]

Thankyou all for your kind words. I have just put them in my cabinate and they look great! I just need one more cabinate to do them justice. Ed. Did you have a full run of ESB figs then? I would'nt part with mine easly.

Very nice set Graham. Any plans of getting the first 21 on Empire cards?

Looks great man 8)

 

[Fitzy]

Really great. They all look in fantastic condition too. Did you struggle to find decent ESB more so than any of the other lines? I know I did. Looks like I know where all the good ones are now.

I have 3 SW MOC figures on SW cards so I think I will continue down that path. Trouble is they are mega bucks compared to the ESB figs. My main criteria on carded figures are to get fully sealed bubbles with no dents and no cut POPs. I managed to get my ESB collection to average out at just under Ã'£50 each . I dont think with this criteria that I would be able to complete a SW set :? . I like the idea of haveing SW figs on ESB cards but im quite anal when it comes to the headers. Its gotta be the right header for the character. I dread to think how much a C7 21 back Fett is gonna cost. I'll just have to bide my time.

Fabulous collection matey. ESB - favourite film & favourite card design. The figures are just the coolest too, what with Snowtrooper, IG-88 etc etc.

Yeah I did struggle. I had a tight budget. The hardest just to find were Zuckuss and Dengar. I have owned 3 Dengars. 1st was Canadian so that did not fit in to well. 2nd was just a bit shabby with an unaceptable bubble ding. It looked great on the eBay photos but in person it was naff. I think I only got one in person. The thing is SW cards and ROTJ are ten a penny. SW just cost to much :? I did'nt want to go down the AFA route as the cases would not fit in with my swanky Oscars cases. I would say that the average condition is about C7-8. Are you gonna post any collection pics then Fitzy?

Isn't that strange, they were the two I stuggled the most to find as well. Got an AFA one of each in the end. Might not have bothered getting AFA for relatively minor characters but when they came up I had to jump right in. Look good though.

Managed to get at least one of all the other figures on at least the correct film card (missing a POTF Yak Face obviously) but these were the last to complete the set. You're right about the other lines, SW are great but it's just a matter of money to get them and ROTJ are fairly common.

I did have a big bunch of my carded collection posted on the old site so I'll have to do it again on here.

Ed. Did you have a full run of ESB figs then? I would'nt part with mine easly.

i had all but 2 i think, isn't there 27 in total? im sure i had 25. only got about 6 now, just the ones i can't find/afford on trilogo cards.

a lot of mine were in pretty poor condition (mainly c7ish, some better and some worse) from when i was a lot less picky, so they just didn't display very well.

There are 31 in total including photo variations. I think there are a few name variations. Princess Leia Hoth/Leia Hoth. Two One Bee/2 1B etc. And big figure variations like Lando and Yodas snake etc. Not for getting offers and backs but that is another story :wink:

 

[spoons]

That is an excellent set Graham, ESB cards are the best 8)

Thats a sweet collection guy. By the way...how do I get my sabre to grow and how do I get a different color sabre?

 

[craignwo4life]

The more posts you do the bigger the sabre becomes, and presumably changes colour!! :lol:
