a lily ledy klaatu thick fur glossy black boots variant


I love the ledy skirt on that figure.  Where do you find all these great things to buy?  I check ebay and this board and one other place, but I must not be shopping in the right markets.  You guys find all kinds of cool foreign papers, rare variants, etc.  

Btw, if you are looking for a blue spray painted Boba variant, one just popped up on "the auction site" with a make an offer option by the seller.

I know it is a lot, but I paid $5,500 USD.  I figured these things rarely pop up, it is graded so I know it is not a restrike, it 1 of only 4 or 5 high graded ones in existence, and well... I really wanted it

A silver graded 85 one was sold for $4,000 USD a couple of months ago on the POTF Coin FB page.  I wish I could have gotten that one.

I'm still looking for a silver 63rd... hint, hint

That may sound high if you don't follow the star wars market but to me sounds in line. Prices are up right now and I don't know if we will see a decline any time soon.

Secret Santa is coming up, after all.



Holy cow, that can buy a lot of pizza..but the main thing to take away is how it doesn't come around often at all!

I second this, Bill! Congrats on yet another Ledy. You should post a group picture sometime!

@beachboy19 - I think I shop at your guy.. and your guy is my guy. On evil bay.

PBP stormtrooper with pbp blaster
Lily Ledy r2d2 (been after one for ages )
Poch ig88 (orange eyes)with bad sonic welding , flashing all over him and a monster meltmark on his arse

Nice stuff. How many are left in the ledy and poch sets for you? Can't be many.

you've seen my poch collection , I have 36 ledys with lots more to go

'Tis the Season! You're on a monster spree, Bill. Good going, nice figs!

Love the IG in particular.

picked up a no coo yoda with correct accessories
and a rare PBP pink face at at commander

Mmm...Yoda.

The streak continues, Bill. Soon you'll be getting your own trilogy.

Just a couple of bits to share, first up is a nice snap cape Luke Jedi and second I've completed my Luke Hoth 36 years after Kenner decided not to bother

Do you have any black palace blasters? I heard you need to trade human souls in order to get any.

Bill - congrats on the latest loose variants. Gotta love the thick fur Klaatu. The Yoda and IG-88 are cool too

Lejackal - good work on Luke Hoth's saber and always nice to see a Luke with snap cape. If you get a moment can you update this thread with any numbers/marks/stitching you see on the press stud please?

Just emailed myself so I don't forget but when I do forget please poke me with a stick

cheers

Picked up this C-3PO off ebay. Seller claimed "stiff joints" and nice paint. I agree with the paint. But he can't even stand on my desk without falling over. Glad it was only $10 shipped. The head and arms are stiff. Legs... not so much. It's really becoming a mess buying stuff off ebay these days.

That's a bummer dude.

Yeah Ebay is almost a crap shoot now on stuff. Still, it looks nice!

Okay I swear this were right side up!

Been quiet, but grabbed a Hungarian Carded Leia and Complete Pencil Top Box!

That's a good lot of pencil toppers. Is that Leia original? Looks cast in yellow and for all this time to still be holding the blaster?

I was thinking the same thing. Leia is still holding her blaster after the passage of decades and a few shipping trips! Cool.

Believe it or not, yup. The card is a disaster but it's legit.

You guys forget Leia has the best shooting ratio in the Star Wars Universe. She knows how to handle a gun

@beachboy19 - Nice paint on C3.. but it's a shame about the "stiff joints." Is it an eBayer you normally purchase from?

@DarthBerizing - Excellent Leia! I agree with the other guys.. she must have a death grip on that blaster. I broke my neck checking out the pencil toppers.. but they're awesome!

Nah, C3PO just seemed like a good deal at $10 shipped. Plus, I was buying a Vader to get the saber from the same seller so I went with it.
