worth getting UKG graded?

[robpmarsh]

Hi,

Just picked this up on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161357806446&alt=web and wondered if it was worth sending to get graded (with the coin)?

Would be my 1st graded item.

is that sealed.... good score . if it is sealed hope your not gonna get it ugraded :?
if it was graded as sealed moc it would get strange score thats for sure with that coin cardback damage

Dude- its a fake.

 

[robpmarsh]

Why do you say that?

Dude- its a fake.

Oh yeah....... wrong bubble isnt it?

 

[Grant_C]

It should look like this mate:

 

[poncho]

Well at least he didnt pay too much. Hopefully the accesories wont be repro for him.

Tbh I really bought it as I don't currently have a vintage Yoda in my loose figure collection.

If the coins are legit I'll probably sell them as they are not needed.

To be honest mate- its most likely that the coin, stick and snake are repro. Not sure about the belt and cape.

Sorry for the bad news, that's why repro is despised.

Buy from reputable dealers and collectors mate. Ebay is a minefield of nonsense.

Send it back. £27 quid for a load of fake **** is a high price to pay.

No mention of it being resealed. It's highly possible his accessories, coin and even the card are fake.
The snake looks too dark a shade of brown to me and the stick too light, but could just be camera flash altering colours etc.

You'll just be stuck with a naked Yoda worth £1.50. You shouldn't tolerate it.

I thought that about the snake too. Put a claim in, it's not as described.

 

[jedi_masters]

Snake is not right, too dark.

Cardback looks dodgy as well, to me it looks like a repro with wear and tear made to the eadges.

Bubble totally wrong.

Mate for £27 you can easily get a fully complete, genuine Yoda so I would sent this back and put a claim in.

 

[robpmarsh]

Thanks to all of you for the advice. I'll do just that.

Can anyone suggest a good site for getting loose figures from?

I only need most of the last 17 (have Amanaman, Luke Endor, Emperor, Lando General)

Both came from this forum's for sale section. From looking at my PayPal account I paid £25 inc postage for one and £23.20 inc postage for the other. The VCJ was a shade more though.

All origional. All in great shape. All accessories are good.

Get your money back from this joker and put a thread up in the wtb section. You will get yourself a nice yoda.

Some sound advice there from Ben. Get yourself a WTB list up on here and you will get some responses in no time

Sure I can do you a very nice Yoda for £25.00

Not sure if anything in this lot is genuine to be honest - certainly the snake and cardback are fake and I'd guess that the cane was. The coins are likely to be but would need to see them in hand - if they were genuine then it's well worth the money you paid but I guess with the rest of it being repro crap then you can't hold out much hop

 

[robpmarsh]

Hi,

The items just arrived and the Yoda coin looks legit (to me). Anyone know if this is worth keeping for what I paid?

The backing card does look like a repro and the figure i'm not sure about....read that the brown snake is a variant on rebelscum.com

any help? Here are some better pics of the items:

Snake looks like a repro to me, I'd say the coin is probably a fake too.

Someone who goes to the effort of ripping a repro card and smashing up a bubble to make their fake look genuine isn't going to stick a real coin in there (especially not a Yoda one).

 

[Grant_C]

The card is fake.

It has the wrong photo on it for starters......

 

[jedi_masters]

You know I only just noticed the photo was wrong, good spot Grant.

Mate, send the whole lot back. A Yoda coin will set you back around £30 and a nice complete, genuine Yoda will be £25. If you get it from ITFCIAIN on here you will be 100 % sure it is all genuine accessories.
