Hey all, I haven't been very active posting the last few months, so this is me catching up! These are my summer purchases
First up are these Tusken Raiders, the one on the left has "light brown" paint apps & the one on the right I assume is a "short shot" as it has no COO, copyright...nothing!
Next up is a Meccano Leia Hoth, I have been chasing this figure for awhile & I am very happy to add it! (Thanks again Lee!)
Here is another figure I was very happy to add, the fat lips just slay me
Finally found a nice example of a Ledy Bespin Luke!
This figure was also a pain to find, my wife "collects" smiling Lando's so this was a welcome addition
& last but not least are these Bespin Leia's.
The first one has a ribbed cape, I've never seen this before & it looks like I may have failed in getting this to show up in the pictures
The Leia on the right has a really pale face, the plastic looks to be different but it could just be some weird fading, whatever I like it. It reminds me of a China doll or something.
Well, that's it for me, thanks for looking!

Hi guys
Remember the MIB SW Action Figure Stand that I got recently? Well, managed to get a MISB one subsequently - what were the odds of that Here it is:-
SW Action Figure Display Stand AFA70
Shifted the album on the MIB on Photobuckets so the links broke on my previous post for that MIB one. Here are the pics of the MIB opened piece:-
Cheers, Mark

I've only seen the one piece sticker for the figure labels. You've got seperate stickers as per the instructions shown & Sand people got 2 stickers :scratch: edit: mail away vs store boxed : http://theswca.com/images-toys/figuretoys/actionstand.html Now you need to find the ESB version

After 1 month of holidays , I am happy to be here again
not many purchases lately, but a got some figures from a Spanish buddy... The bossk is the rare POCH version. He has quite a load of paint loss but still displays nicely (I made the pic together with my PBP). He is stamped "made in Hong Kong" though :scratch: . The stoormtroper (NO COO) is the hard version (not sure though) and finally the Greedo is also Poch or PBP (scarred COO). Hope you like them.

The POCH Bossk is 'made in Hong Kong' : http://swspaceclub.com/wbobafett/poch/poch-variants/bossk/ Both the Spanish Bossks still elude me ( because I won't fork out the cash )
I'm down to needing only half a dozen MOCs to complete my ROTJ figure carded run

Thanks for the links James. I checked Woff's site and its great! I did not know that this Bossk was so rare (5/6 to exists?). I got this one for a few euros....Seems that I have some kind of luck with Bossk in general, after the BPB now the Poch. I should maybe "Bossk" focusing my collection
Which ROTJ are you missing?

to complete my MOC run of ROTJ figures I need : NN, Bib, Jedi Luke, Leia Boushh, B-wing & Han trench ( & Lumat & Paploo)
I have Han in a 2 pack & Lumat & Paploo I don't really count ( as a child, Star Wars stopped at the 77 back ) I'll think about those 2 Ewoks when/if I attack a MIM MOC run For a loose collector I'm doing OK Your luck also extended to the Jawa Now tell your Spanish buddy to find me some figures

I have to come from far this time, all the way from page 60 of the previous thread.
With a cup of strong coffee next to me this gonna be a good start of the weekend!
@ Ryan (TishomingoSith): The MIB MTV-7 is in very good shape. Nice to see you MIB collection growing. The TIE Fighter MOC looks dead mint, unpunched with a clear bubble! ...Oh wait there is even more...Stormtrooper MOC, also in great condition! Congrats, Ryan! ...and a MISB Tripod gun, your baby steps are running a marathon, LOL!!
@ Joe (Curch): Sweet Blue Snaggletooth and Dewback! --- and a huge lot of loose figures and cardbacks on page 1 of the new thread!! Well done!
@ Perra (ANH): Thanks for providing that piece of info on the blueprint!! ... the Tri Lando with two axes is an cool find!!
@ Mike: It seems you did a great CL found, and only five minutes driving from your office. Lucky man! Great looking DV and Bikerscout MOCs!! Was the Bikerscout packaged with the dark grey Ledy blaster? ...I see you got even more ROTJ cards!!! They look in top condition!! Congrats!!
@ Shawn: Congrats picking up those mint Droids figures and the concept POTF logo. Your pictures also look great BTW! ...and two new additions for your focus collection: coin mailer and Anakin mailer shelf talker. ...and a build your armies micro mailer, thanks for providing some background on this item. + on your way.
@ Liam (Dark Sith Lord): Gus and Duncans Guide to Protoypes!! Nice pick up! And a good timing now you have started to collect some preproduction items. That PowerDroid proof card rocks!!!
@ Bud: The new vintage Removable Rocket Boba is sweet. The only pity thing is that Hasbro decided to use a very big rocket with this figure, a rocket which only remotely resembles Boba's signature vintage rocket. Probably Hasbro had to because of toy safety regulations. Are you going to unpack him or leave him on the card? ...The electronic laser battle game is a cool piece.

Does anyone actually know how that game works?
For those interested here is a video review, also explaining you how it works.
@ Jason (Sith Jawa): Some great additions to your Jawa collection. I like the slide with the classic Jawa/R2 scene!!!
@ Bill: WOW, a BASA RL C-3PO cardback. I read about it on RS. Thanks for explaining this card is a true grail item, from different points of views, the second confirmed Kenner production ESB45 3PO debut card and a BASA sticker as a big bonus.
I wonder what other Star Wars grails are still waiting to be discovered in Peru....
@ James: Congrats picking up that great looking Meccano Boba Fett. I like the no COO Death Star Droid even more. Now give it to me... ....sweet Ledy cardbacks too! ..and vintage pencil toppers! ...and a trilogo Klaatu...you are collecting fast!!
@ Bruce: Great Leia Organa 41 MOC addition for your focus. She is a beauty.
@ StarWizz: What is better than having one burgundy Squid Head in your collection? Simply, having two with different tones of the capes!! Congrats, they both look in great condition!!
@ Deltoro Sith: More Ledy goodness!! Blond (!) Luke Bespin with cardback. What a great catch!!
@ Jonathan (raven7dp): That MIB Imperial Transporter is great looking!
@ Greg (Darth Small): Sweet carded Romba. The bubble seems to be clear!!
@ Finestcomics: Canadian Special Offer ESB AT-AT, What a great find! Please make some pics for the "Project Outside The Box" thread.
@ Lee: Congrats with your recased Vlix. AFA did a wonderful job this time!!
@ bodhi_tree777: at TIG. And good luck collecting all Jabba court figures. Nice Barada BTW.
@ Pete (Ratherchildish): The Leia Bespin and Greedo cards simply rock!
@ Pat (RetrorewindToys): Love to see all your new loose variants. Interesting no COO Tusken Raider. And that PBP Bossk rocks!!
@ Serket: Ledy Weequay and Nikto, Yeah!!
@ Mike (Gorneesh): Congrats picking up that wonderful Meccano Jawa card!
@ Mark: ...wow a second MIB 1979 display stand... . Congrats Mark, what a grail item!
* Alex (Jedi Blueberry): you again managed to pick up a rare variant. Well done on the POCH Bossk.

Great sets Mirco It's a lot easier to see the bubble variations (& punche holes) when they are lined up next to each other like that. I've not noticed the different green for Landos' bubble area & nameplates before
