PostSubject: My Canadian Focus   Sun May 15, 2011 5:37 am

I'm relatively new to actively collecting vintage carded figures, so I've been trying to learn as much as I can and take my time. Being that I'm Canadian, naturally they are my focus. Most of the pieces I've picked up are on ROTJ cards because of their affordability.

Vader related

I'm also a Vader addict, collecting everything I can get my hands on. So I've got a couple Canadian Vader items as well.

Thanks for the comments guys. It's been fun adding to my collection, but it's tough to pace myself. Smile

Hi Jesse,

That is a fine collection you got there, congratulations!!

The Canadian Transition Rebel Soldier is a great piece. The "Guerre des Etoiles" logo on the DV TIE Fighter box rocks, to me it is one of the best logos from the SW vintage era.

A couple weekends ago I journeyed out to a toy show on Vancouver Island and managed to find a number of great pieces.


CDN Luke X-Wing 77-back, unpunched -- I was ecstatic to find this, I couldn't believe the great condition.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]


CDN Lumat 77-back, Made in Mexico -- One of 2 figures on Canadian cards that can be found with the "Made in Mexico" label.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]


CDN Walrusman 20-back, RESEALED -- it was only $20, I figure even the cardback is worth more than that, and it displays beautifully.

CDN Star Wars action figure case -- The only case released in Canada that actually has the bilingual text, not bad for $10.

Ceramic Darth Vader bank -- Not Canadian, but it fits nicely into my Vader focus. I've got a couple similar pieces which are lamps, but I had to have this 3rd one as a bank.

Some great new pieces to your focus. I think Lumat & Paploo can only be found offerless on Canadian cards & I paid more for a 20 back cardback than you did for that reseal ( debut/rookie card as well ) :clap:

Thanks for all the great comments again guys.

I need to get some acrylic cases to display them properly, but it's hard to budget around 25 of them. Shocked
