I think we have to reconsider my friend.... I have to do a carded guide ASAP...
here I have 3 lando skiff´s .... 2 MIM MOC´s and a LL MOC.... so different from each other . right?
Here we have 2 LL MOC´s that are different from each other....
Here we have 2 LL BF´s RR with an "L" on the bottom of the pocket.....
I Will add more things I have found lately and there is NO info what´s so over about it.....
Cheers...

Great post!
Tried to spot the differences at a quick glance:
Leia: -the poncho is different -the green background on the card is shifted
Lando skif: ?
Adolfo, I would welcome a carded Lili Ledy guide very much.
If you make nice pics of your MOCs and post them here now and then, we will make sure these will be integrated in the respective figure entries, giving you the credits for making the pics off course.
BTW: The pic of the RR Ledy Fett with the "L", reminded me to something which I would check for you and is on my to do list a long time now.

Does the LL moc Lando have a darker plastic used for the head? The armour also looks more gold compared to the silver of the MIM examples.

I have a question:
I just came across sth that could be called: LL Luke JEDI saber, but is IMO a Kenner one (because of the different color).
I have now three LL Luke Jedi sabers...all in the same color. The new one is brighter....
Just curious: I know there is Luke Bespin sabers as Kenner and LL, but never heard of a Luke Jedi saber with that mold besides the LL one

That is interesting Wolff? Have you got a comparrison picture?
Is it possible that it is LL just a different colour?

James, I know you dont have room for all those great cardbacks, so out of kindness I am willing to take them off your hands.
Seriously though that is a great ledy set coming along. I wish I had started the ledy line earlier in my collecting days. I rarely pick up much anymore because I just need the harder more pricey figures to go and havent even gotten to cardbacks.

Nice work AJ that looks impressive. Good luck hunting down those last 8.

I have been following a few Lili Ledy pieces I wanted to buy on Ebay but they really rocketed beyond my expectations. Is that a personal feeling or are Lili ledy Figures becoming really unaffordable? I mean the more wanted one (Jawas, figures with capes variants etc..)

I thank my lucky stars I picked up a basic set when the prices were more realistic, however I still need several variants so I keep a keen eye on eBay prices and like everything they've sky rocketed unfortunately

I dont know if this has been discussed or not.. In the TIS LL guide there is only 1 type of staff described for the Bib Fortuna but there are 3 types.. Light grey dark grey brownish. . Has anybody else seen this ones? I think some entries should've been updated already as we have found so more new and interesting info..

Hey Adolfo,
Thanks for letting us know about new types of LL Burgundy staffs. Do you have pictures?
Which entries should have been updated with which new discoveries? Around Xmas I should have some spare time, so I can update a few entries.
Cheers Marco

I just bought a very very nice action figure from a very good friend that knows LL perfectly well ( a bib fortuna), but it included this STAFF ( never seen this color before) ,
so I start to ask all my LL fellow collectors and here is what I found... pics are from my good friend David ( Facebook Muftak Mountain) From left to right, 1.-brownish/ 2.-very dark grey/3.-dark grey----> NO SUN LIGHT ( FLASH USED)
from top to bottom same order 1.- brownish seems to be almost black/very deep dark brown /2.-very dark grey /3.-dark grey--> with sunlight.
So, my new BF seems to include a #1 Staff but my MOC has a #3 staff, seems that the TIG page for the BF only includes a #3 staff.
maybe I didnt see other discussion about the amount of LL BF staffs, so if there´s one, then regard my post.
Marco by starters, I post like 8 to 10 LL MOC Lando Bespin pics and none have the blue bespin gun, LMK if you found a MOC with it ( maybe I didn´t saw that as well)
Cheers.

Thanks for sharing, Adolfo.
I think Bib Fortuna's staffs has not been discussed before in this thread when memory serves me well.
So three different shades of grey/brown seem to be possible for the LL staff. Has the staff on the bottom the same colour as for instance the dark grey Biker Scout gun?

So Lando Bespin never came with a blue Bespin gun?
I am not a MOC man, so curious whether other Ledy MOC experts can confirm this, so we can update the guide on this.

Mexican collector "Madhunter" with a big score. Congrats!
Enjoy the video:
BTW: The chances I would ever find such Ledy gems in The Netherlands are close to zero. Therefore in my next life, I decided to reincarnate in Mexico.

Marco, I don't speak Spanish so I don't know, but did they discuss price? Also it showed them rather quickly so I wasn't able to keep up a decent figure count, but I know I did not see a burgundy squid head nor a burgundy bib fortuna, but aside from those two was this a full set? What an amazing score.
