| Thanks for sharing Joe and a very dedicated focus on this "white skinny droid" from ROTJ I see your US Kenner Cromalin and Proof Cards, but I don't see any US Kenner production carded 8D8 in your collection, or perhaps you haven't taken the pics as yet?

| Hi Peter, thanks Once I completed the US Kenner set I disbanded it and decided to stick to pre production and foreign to Kenner (trilogo + Ledy) Here are some pictures of the US + CDN Kenner run before I sold it: |

| Excellent Joe! It's great to see a shot of the preproduction run all together and to learn about each piece. I still remember the day you told me you secured that first proof and how excited you were. Who knew that a little over a year later you'd have so many more great preproduction pieces. |

| Congrats Joe on the pre production & trilogo run,the display really does it justice too! I hope one day you'll manage to pick up the proof that you're missing & a Ledy MOC,that would really be the icing on the cake! |

| Great focus Joe. I have 3 different 8d8's, can you tell me anything about them. One has no circles on any of his hips, one has a circle on the left and the other has it on the right. I thought the one with the circle on his right hip might be ledy but they all have yellow eyes. The one with the circle on the left has a slightly lighter brown paint. Any Ideas? |

| Sure Snaggletooth. The hip circle variations have four possible combinations: Both with Both without Left with Right without Right with Left without The limbs were mixed at the factory and as such there is no correlation to a specific release / MOC The ledy is mostly identified by its hard torso which has a sharper level of detailing (check the back of him for the detailing on the plastic) |

I absolutely love you new additions! The time and patience it has taken you to land these wonderful proofs is amazing! Contests on the score and thank you for sharing! |

| Great info joe, Thanks. my one without any circles has a duller silver and darker eyes but the detail on the back of the torso/coo all look about the same, although the plastic seems a bit darker. Do all ledys have the red eyes? |

| Have you got pictures on your limelight Snag ? I can have a check for you if you want (don't forget over time and due to playwear/different batches of paint used in production etc that paint application, tone , colour etc can all be different from one figure to the next) |

| Nice to see that preproduction run, Joe! I actually really like how you've displayed them 'slotted' together with the trilogos + nice made in Macao too - makes for an interesting perspective! |

It seems so long ago yet still like yesterday, weird how far things have come, thanks for keeping me sane over the last few months/years and glad you like it Shawn! - RebelChris wrote:

Cheers Paul! I had no real choice tbh but it did come out ok, Chris suggested carded at the back and fanning the proofs out in front but due to the toploaders + the size of the larger proofs it wasn't working out so good so its not ideal but loads better than in a box (my usual display tactic) Once again- thanks to all , I enjoy reading your comments and I am really happy with how far this collection has taken me, even if I don't land a single new pre production piece ever again I will always treasure this run! |

| WOW...SICK!!! That Cromalin/proof Set is da BOMB!!! The only thing I can image that would be "missing" here is a revenge proof! (Do they exists?) And of course you need a Ledy MOC!!! Help me out on the 4 Trilogos. Any differences??? I never understood how in the world you can choose 8D8 for a focus, but it pays off!!!!! AWESOME!!! CONGRATS!!! (And much better like the thousands Fett, Luke or R2 focus). Thnaks for sharing and keep up the good work! |

| Thanks Wolff! I appreciate your post No Revenge proof was made for any ROTJ character as the Revenge proofs were being produced before the film (so only SW+ ESB characters have Revenge proofs) I would love to get a Ledy MOC but with the way things are going I would try to get the POTF 8D8 proof first - then I can really sit on my hands and stare at the collection As for 8D8 , many people laugh at Z list focus characters but it gives the collector a much better chance at buying some incredible pieces without any competition Besides he really was my favourite as a kid |

| Awesome run. Really cool figure to focus on. I just got an 8D8 not long ago. I think he's pretty cool. I'd like to get a bootleg of him. |
