All 4 original Coloring books. I can put this one to bed! yes!!!!!!
I had been hunting them individually but lucked out and some nice lady offered all 4 of them in a bundle, i just could not miss them. Kinda funny now because I have 6 of them now... But i think i ll try to get more copies also if i see them on Fleabay. They don't appear often in good quality. I spent over 3/4 of a year hunting just 2 of them and then i saw the bundle. , the rest is history.
A little note on them, they contain the same exact pages, just shuffled in each of them as far as i can see, the collecting novelty was in the covers which are just iconic star wars images...
MISB energizer unit. My first ever MISB star wars vintage item.

I have something interesting to show. He is not here yet but will be soon. A little about this.... Characteristics on this figure: -LL parts, some of them are factory painted, Tie Fighter pilot torso (emblems and chest circuits). -Torsos are not welded they are glued. -Paint on body smells and feels LL. -Paint was hand applied with a brush not with an airbrush and without stencils. -Mixed LL parts ERG Legs, Biker Scout arms and Tie Pilot torso. -Unpainted parts under the hand applied paint. -Figure came from Mexico City. It matches another sample found there but from a different seller. -Figures have some similarities, boots were painted almost exactly the same. -They seem to be hard to find and not a lot of collectors have a lot of knowledge about these figures.
I posted this over in the link I added bellow if anyone would like to comment or make an opinion or theory. I don't want to tie this link up with debate over it..... I did find a link that seems to explain figures like this. Adolfo (Merlin) took tours of the LL factory as a child and seems to know about figures like this. Again, this figure came from Mexico City. I by no means am any type of expert on these figures. I'm just reporting my findings : ) This came from Ozio a very trusted seller and good friend : ) I am including an old link Marco supplied to me, thanks Marco : ) http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t1630-real-or-fake

Wow didn't pay attention to this thread for a few days and BANG, I am behind 4 pages.
Dallas: Minty Lumat and great looking European AT AT driver for your focus.
Josh: LOL to see mini me Vader next to his 3 3/4 '' brother, I tried to find some more info about this Vader but did not find so much on SWCA. You got some more info? http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_items_by&items_by=licensee&id=211
Paul: Love that vinyl!! The X-Wing artwork rocks! Which reminds me to some other artwork from a certain someone to be posted in a certain thread.
Steve: Great looking RR Boba! You are a lucky collector, having both the real RR variant as well as a factory error (with wrongly welded rocket). Wow!
Claes: WTF is that?!!! A POCH Wampa!!! LOL!! Los Wampas oscuros dominar el mundo!
Paul: More Wampa madness!! The very rare blue eye Ledy Wampa is certainly worth a kidney or two. These were only released as a special offer together with Ledy's green limbed Taun Taun.
DSL: Oh boy The Sears Cantina, one of my all favorites. Congrats landing one! Blue Snag looks in pretty good shape too. Why is Hammerhead looking at Greedo? Wow, there is more, Palitoy's Land of the Jawa. Cool piece, dude! The first time I realize this set came with a Jawa figure included (as written on the box).
Congrats on the modern pieces as well. The Big Millennium Falcon is a beauty and lots of fun with all these sound and light actions. The only problem, it is BIG, almost too BIG. For those unfamiliar with this piece, do yourself a favour and watch this very enthousiaticly brought video :
BTW: we have a modern thread on this board, It is a bit hidden in the Off Topic section, but it is there. So pls post your modern stuff there next time. Who knows if members start to post more often in that thread, we can give it a more prominent place in the main section. Personally I wouldn't mind, a small modern exception would confirm the vintage rule on this board.
Steve: Great PBP Biker Scout. Those Ledy 8D8s look awesome as well. I also like the bonus figure you received from Ozio, looks like it has been custom assembled from Ledy overstock pieces somewhere in the 80s. Cool piece! What about that last Fett? Is it what I think it is? No, you gotta be kidding me !! OK, I am not mentioning the M word here.
Budspencer: Great set of coloring books. Now take your pencils and try to keep coloring within the lines and show us the results next week. Congrats on your first MISB item!!
Claus: Great to see you posting here! . Nice set of stickers! Cool they also made one for Klaatu.
Thanks Marco and everybody else : ) I love all the new pieces everyone put up also : ) And yes Marco, the last Fett is a M (I can't say the word either) Fett
