Right after I "U" grade it I will say this, I thought I had a respectable collection. I walked out of that house (yes I drove 4 hours to get it) feeling like I had some C-1 figures thrown in a bin. |

| A big thank guys!! perfct timing on the opportunity. I just got some cash in and selling the Ledys and Takara was really the icing on the cake for the financials to work out right. Once i knew there was a chance, instantly I started looking to unload some stuff at top top dollar. It's why I didn't offer anything here. I got lucky with Joe's Ledy contact who wanted some MOC's (go figure that one LOL) and I made the deal.
For what it's worth it is hands down an amazing thing to have and hold in my hands. I mean the history of the card, the whole UZAY culture, it all just flows into your body when you have it. I was really surprised off the bat that it was even going up for sale. I sort of threw out that I was interested and could quickly lay down cash for it. Well I got the PM, put in for a day off, and hoped in the car. I was shaking the as soon as I got close. Next thing I knew, I had a grail!!!!!! |

It is Dom. I've had a love for UZAY figures but never had a carded one. I have a Darth Vader and Blue Stars but both loose. If I am correct, there are 2 of these known carded and 2 loose. |

UZAY was a Turkish bootleg line. On top of the copy of the regular figures they "made up" Headman and Blue Stars. Nobody knows why. |

| Dom-It's a bootleg emperor's royal guard repainted with different accessories on the most awesome bootleg cards made. Similar to the Blue Stars which was a bootleg version of a snowtrooper with different paint apps.

Yhea the Headsman! Like I told you a minute ago, Panchi's been good to you this week. Thats an awesome sight to see, John. Are you going to try and find more or is that the one one your going for? I'd love to get more to go with the AT AT Driver I have, but those will have to wait for awhile. :crying: |

| I got a couple of PMs with people telling me that someone was posting on this forum that they had unearthed the 2nd of the 2 known carded Headman figures. Looking at the pics it looks right. I was hoping to unearth it myself. We'll have to compare notes and see if it was in the hands of a person in the area that I thought it went to. IF you ever decide to sell it there's a collector in the UK that I'm good friends with that has an entire carded set other a Headman and is a great guy. OR you could take the $25k offer that a certian major dealer made for mine.
Congrats! J |

| aye carumba!! And I was chuffed getting an easter egg this morning!!! a 90 Ledy Jawa followed by a true holy grail item... if it was posted yesterday I would be thinking april fools... fantastic pick ups guys! makes me almost embarrassed to add my latest finds... (L) Small head variant "Made in Hong Kong 1977" (C) Normal one "Hong Kong 1978" (R) Red rectangle variant "Hong Kong 1978" Picked up the two variants recently (L) Ledy Fixed Rocket Fett - single scar (R) "Made in" no COO Dark Boots Luke Neither are in Minty condition but the paint is pretty good on Fett with loose limbs and while Luke is missing some paint he has super tight limbs so I'm happy with that I'm happy with them, but now I'm feeling like a C-1 bucket guy after those recent posts |
