| I decided to try and start getting a collection together of at least one of every Licensed Foreign Manufacturer. I started with the notion that the logo be in a different language but I've loosened the dewback reins a little. Updated 25 May 2010. I can't seem to get good pics for whatever reason so I took a bunch. I've picked up some new pieces so here we go! So here is my collection thus far: Palitoy Logo Imperial Commander (UK) (Thanks Blutch) Harbert Darth Vader (Italy) (Thanks Ebay) PBP Snaggletooth (Spain)(Thanks Ebay) Glasslite R2D2 w/ Pop Up Saber (Brazil) (Thanks Coopertone) Top Toys Stormtrooper (Argentina) (Thanks Stargeezer) Meccano Jawa (France) (Thanks CocoFstar) Lili Ledy Leia Endor (Mexico) (Thanks Shawn_K) Takara 12bk Princess Leia (Japan) (Thanks Jedidallas) Canadian GDE 12bk C3PO (Canada) 12 Back Harbert C1P8 (R2D2 to the rest of the world) 45 Back Clipper Bespin Guard (Thanks for the help Jaymassive619) 45 Back General Mills R2D2 sensorscope (Thanks for the help Jaymassive619) Death Star Droid (POPY) (Thanks Brian's Toys) Rebel Solider (POPY) (Thanks Steve_Danley) Yoda (Harbert ESB) (HUGE THANKS to Brian's Toys for this!) Emperor's Royal Guard (PBP) (Thanks Toxictoyz) Not Pictured (coming in) Toltoys Mail Away Nein Nunb 21 Back ESB Canadian Boba Fett 65 Back Tsuksuda Weequay

| "I'm trying to get one of every Foreign MOC made" I've been trying to do this just with cardbacks. Surely you don't need 2 Ledy's  How'd you go with the Toltoys? The 'foriegn' stuff certainly does have that extra wow factor  |

| I've always thought this was a great idea for a run when I first heard you going for this John. It is looking great so far and I look forward to seeing it progress. |

| Great run John, love the focus.
It is something I would love to put together aswell so will be interesting to see your collection progressing mate.
There's been some reasonable Takara carded going on the bay recently, a nice R2 went for a low price the other night. |

I was underbidder on the alt. head C3PO . It didnt even break $400 
The other issue is that since I only have one of each figure (with 1 single exception) it narrows down the field a bit. I cant buy a foreign Vader,Stormtrooper, Jawa, etc... so it makes it a little harder but certainly more interesting. |

| This is a really great idea for a focus, and someting that would actually really interest me. What you have put together so far looks great, you have some cracking peices, love the ledy's |

| Love the focus John you collect very much like me in the sense you like to have something of everything rather than focus down on one specific area / areas!
With so many outstanding MOC's on display its hard to pick a favourite but i'd probably say lily ledy ERG and the Harbet Vader (ill stop now before they all get added lol) |

| Excellent Idea John!
At least you won't run in trouble like us character focus collectors in tracking down a tough card/figure combination for the figure we are focusing on.
I like how you can see at a glance all the variations in each manufacturer's card. ______________________________________________________________________ Do "U" really need it? Please Read Shawn K's AFA FAQ Below To Find Out More: Shawn's AFA FAQ |

| Two new Updates. The ALT HEAD C3PO is going to be F/S soon if anyone is interested. I snagged a much better C3PO MOC (stay tuned.....)  |
