Top Toys Loose Vader

I have a top toys Chirpa carded, the fragile bubble was damaged in transit and it's almost loose now :(

I am in two minds whether to sell it or not, probably get more for it from a loose collector than I would a MOC collector but I still can't push myself to sell it or take it out! Awesome figure though, nice line :)

GL with the Vader
 
Check out that one on ebay Joe, you can sell yours if you pick that other one up, im sure it was a mexican guy selling it (i was searching for Ledy when i came across it), im not collecting Top Toys myself just wanted a Vader for my Vader Focus :)

Imagine if it it came out a U90 Toy Toys Chief Chirpa you got sell that for silly money lol

Sod taking the flack for that!

It's almost possible to take the figure out anyway , literally a millimetre more and it will be totally open!

Blimey $149 he wants for that its cracked and its been repaired with tape!

I like the figure, but I sure could use some funds :( I hate being in selling dilemmas!

I was thinking of what to put on the block for the LL moc fund but that went all pear shaped and I don't really want to sell anything now, but a few people just got in contact about my other wants so I am ballsed ! LOL
 
If i were in your shoes i would probs reseal it, at least its still original and secure, they fetch decent money still, i didnt look in detail at the ebay one, oh well choices choices LOL AFA or reseal or Loose :/

I suppose you could be right there , I wouldn't send it to AFA for U grading, goes against what I believe in however much I could do with the cash I can still be responsible as its a lovely card / figure.

What's the best way to secure it ? Shall I just neatly tape over the bubble?

I wouldn't use tape if i were you Joe.

What about skyes (RS) double bubble technique

Double Bubble Technique
 
Jays right - thats the way to go, the double bubble method but hes still going to have the original bubble hanging, i use double sided tape on mine but thats because i make my own cardbacks for preservation and showing and dont really care too much about the bubble and card, your in a different situation - might be worth asking on RS to see if theres other methods thats reliable, other than that ask on FFURG, theyre the experts in my eyes.

If your stuck i can give you a guys email to ask for advice.
 
Thanks to you both, will survey the damage tonight and decide what to do!
 
Interesting thread for me as I'm putting collecting TT loose and I was watching that
Wicket MOC on ebay.

Let me know what you are going to do with yours Joe.
