OK, I was gonna faint if another one popped up,especially so soon, after that one.

Great score man!
Cheers
Joe

Actually made me laugh out loud Joe. Dont faint dude.

It's too easy to miss the new additions in this thread.
Fantastic group Wolff & Dylan that's one mighty fine re activation

Fantastic grail piece, Dylan!

And welcome back!

I haven't been around much, but I'm glad I popped in here because this thread never disappoints. Fantastic 10 pack! Just amazing.

Welcome back to TIG Dylan, nice entrance! Congrats on that superb bootleg set

gongrats on the display pack dylan glad it went to a good home!

daren

Hey thanks guys, good to be back!

That ten-pack is awesome man! Very good score. Nice to see something different for a change. I can't remember if I asked Joe this before or not but are the MOC's just sitting loose in the display or are they attached/clipped to each other so they fit nice and snug?

** I'd ask on RS but I'm afraid it will get locked, lol. But I am asking a serious question though..

They are stapled to eachother AND stapled to the top bubble that covers all the cards and bubbles end to end.

Glad you're coming over to TIG Mike, but you know you can say shit on here

Wow-wow-WOW

altough i am not into Bootlegs myself i enjoy looking at them and i must admit that i am really impressed with the additions you guys made.

Note to myself: Check out this thread more frequent.

Well, it looks like the bootleg cult has it's own section now on TIG. Lets build this up and make it our home with lots of information and pics. !!!!

Gearing up to take pics to get some of the fun started, and to test out my new tripod, and try to get some continuity to my photography, I took some recent acquisition pics...enjoy

The first 2 come to me via Michael Vogt whos ability to find great stuff never ceases to amaze:

First up is a German C3PO carnival prize. When I first saw the 3PO and Chewie carnival prizes on the Archive, I believed them to be much smaller than they are. The 3Po is about 8inches tall. Truly a rare piece that I'm very glad to finally have in my collection.


The next piece that I haven't shown off yet that came to me via Michaels help is the much sought after Hungarian Y Wing vehicle. Now believed to have been part of a young childrens line in Hungary similar to Playmobil, or Adventure People. Thanks again Mike for all the help.



And last (for now) but certainly not least is the Spanish Airgam "SuperDiabolics" Greedo knock off, which was generously given to me by Josh A. because he knew I'd been looking for one of these for a couple of years with no luck. Thank you Josh, it's most appreciated.

wow...congrats!! The y-wing is great!! Where have I seen one before...hmmmmmm....it was ornage I think. So there seems to be also (as always) more then one color!!

Great stuff Joe. Unbelievable you still miss some stuff!!

Cheers

Wolff

Who would of thought? I had a bootleg Joe didn't have

It's gone to a good home at the museum. A better one than I could of given it. I'm going to miss the littlen green bastard...but I know it's for the best.

Damn Joe, that Spanish Greedo is the coolest thing I've never seen before! Congrats! And what an awesome dude to direct it to the collection that needed it. Way to go Josh

Super Diabolic! Classic!!

Glad i could help out Joe.Sometimes u dont find anything for ages, then suddenly a couple of treasures turn up.
The Y-Wing was actually one of three! that the owner had. The 2nd one was identical to Joes but damaged and the third one was in beige colour with green guns on top instead of a knob. These are rare even in hungary.
The german 3-Po is pretty cool. It came with a chewbacca which I kept. These two figures are the only examples known so far and were featured on the archive a decade ago:


I am sure that they will re-unite one day...
Never seen that greedo! very cool.

best, Mike

Sorry Ozio, I meant to post some pics sooner. The credit for this uncover goes to Mike Foster, a fellow bootlegger. I don't think he's a member here, or I would let him post it. Good detective work on his part. Here you can see some POTA bootlegs with the same heads that were attached to a Vader body...



Here's the pics from the auction...




And here's a side-by-side

Hello GranjaFett, I saw your post, but I think you have an incorrect information, this kind of bootlegs even came with 3 heads and one body and some of them was sold with a single head, only you are missing the Vader head, but was not exclusive for the Matt Mason body, I saw figures sealed in a very old bag with the Ape head I will try to get that baggie to show you. the vader body is extremely rare, That kind of figures was sold in early's 80's here in Guadalajara, Mexico in a store named ciudad de bruselas

Best regards

Cristian

Joe seems to have one too....but that one look more like a Stromtrooper helmet?? Is that the Vader/third head you are talking about Cristian??



I wonder if Joe had bought the one above. the cape and the saber would hav made his one pretty much complete!

On the other hand he is maybe blocked from this sellers auctions....like me
