Thanks so much guys!
The Macau one was a shocker to, I was not expecting such a high grade TBH, just managed to buy a Palitoy one to, so fingers crossed it will do as well, got to wait a while to get it though.
Next ones have gone in, but only 3 this time as I have sent the 2 S.O Vehicles in, still undecided if to get them graded or just slide back cased.

Superb collection Frank, those cases look great as well. Too many favourites but the R5s, DSD and Han look especially awesome 8)

Well I went with slide backs for the SO vehicles in the end in case I want to play & TBH glad I did as steve has done a superb job as always that I am really chuffed with, also just scored the last of the 3 SO first issue vehicles I have been after, never thought I would get the chance to own even one as they are real grail items for me, so I am really proud to have these 3 in my collection, just need to get the landspeeder cased now & somehow locate a SW-a 3p0 baggie to get the set complete :?
& the graded items with this one to show the set
-
Irish 3 pack now cased & a relief as its really flimsy & easy to damage.
I have had all the baggies that go with the SO vehicles graded individually as I think it looks so much better that way, but forgot to take photos to show how they look, will do that when I get a mo though.

Frank, before I joined this forum a couple of months ago, I had no idea what a baggie was. Now seeing your fine collection for the first time and witnessing the sterling work that Steve at UKG has undertaken, I've got to say that the whole lot looks outstanding.
Clamping the baggies into permanent suspension is an ingenious way to display them... I really am in awe. Those custom cases really show off the figures at their best, and you were absolutely right to go with the different sized cases, they look the business.
I'll look forward to your updates as and when, keep at it :wink:

Hey Frank,
Not a fan of baggies but they look ok I guess.
lol, awesome mate really really nice. UKG have come a long way since i sent my old baggies in. It is pricey, but they display so much better. Got to say the new style case is nice too.
Small head Han at a 90 grade :shock: is that my old one? looks like it might be and i'm not surprised if it is as it was a absolute corker.
Good to see some of my old baggies got cracking grades, so glad they are safely locked away in your collection.
Tempted now to get my potf baggies cased, 3 are already done but in the old style cases.

I also missed this first time around , mesa thinking me will send off my old style UKG & AFA 3po baggies to be done these cases are awesome
The whole collection you have showed so far is brilliant they display so well. You special offer Vehicles and Irish 3 pack Rock also mate.

God knows how I managed to miss the replies on this post as I always check latest posts each time I log on & missed every reply, had thought there was no interest in the last lot I got done, so a pleasant surprise to see all your nice comments guys.
@ Martin - Yeah I think this has to be the way forward if considering getting baggies graded as it does show them off so much more nicely that the old style cases, also very glad to see another possible baggie infectee :mrgreen: - once you go baggie there's no going back :? :lol:
@ Liam & Lars - glad you like guys, really chuffed to finally have all 3 first issue SO vehicles buddy, just that one baggie to make them whole.
@ Del - UKG really have come a long way Del, I worked with Steve for quite some time before this case design was finalized, but I think they are bang on now & Steve's attention to detail & workmanship are always spot on, I would not dream of having them done anywhere else, sending in your POTF baggies to be done like this would be a great idea mate.
The pin head is indeed the one I got from you, I sent in all 3 I had & this one came out on top even over one that had clear tape still :shock:
I think you know your baggies are in safe hands my friend & will be loved & displayed proudly.
@ Vince - go for it mate, I doubt you would regret having your baggies done like this as with the multi-pack, I just don't think they look quite right in the single case, all a little to over bearing & to much free space/void of acrylic, I have a 15 pack thats AFA'd in a huge case & it does look ok, but I am still going to have it re done in individual cases.
Really pleased with the grades that they came back with to, just a bit gutted about the dark purple text Luke farm boy, I had not noticed the slight frosting on him, but hey what the hell, he is to date the worlds sole example so can't grumble.
Here is the latest batch just back from Steve, I sent in all Palitoy baggies this time round bar the Luke FB to my SO X-wing that is -

Sorry guys, I had not spotted the replies on this thread
Got over 300 now, no idea how many more to go, but I doubt I will complete a collection of baggies in 3 life times, just so little known about what is actually out there in terms on non kenner issued baggies.
