Hi Lars,

My post was meant to provide you some feedback, so you can improve the quality of your posts/threads in the future. In this way we can maintain TIG an interesting, exciting, and fun forum for all members not only for you.

And off course this take home message is not only meant for you, whom the cap fits, let him wear it.

This thread was just the famous last droplet, and I can assure you that I have a large bucket.

Also nothing personal, you are an OK chap and I think you can deal with it, it is just strictly business.

I care about TIG, that is the driving force behind my 'intervention'.

Cheers

Marco

Hi Marco, no problem mate, I am still learning and I love feedback.

That is why you are the master and I the Apprentice, so when do I get to be Grand Admiral ?

I can't promise that I will not fill up your large bucket again, with a stupid question. We only learn if we ask or read

Hi Scott, that Advertisements is pretty cool, is it one or more ?

I also have posted this one in another thread, but let me share it with you guys again

That would be nice if some here would learn to do just that, read. But alot dont or wont do just that. To touch on what Marco said.

Thats the key thing here. TIG needs to be fun again, instead of it being a lunatic asylum with the inmates running amok. It seems like Ive been saying this for the last 3 months but it gets over looked or ignored period. But as you said, you dont want respect. So how do you expect anybody to take you serious about your posts? To me you saying you dont want respect around here is the same as saying your not going to respect us. So why should we take you serious? Im not trying to bust your balls over this, but want to understand your thinking. Cause sometimes you make no sense in what you say in your posts.

Hi Chris,

Sure tig needs to be fun, but where is the fun when people can't ask questions without somebody is getting angry on them ? I think that is very sad. I know that is not happening all the time.

I just mean, I hope we all allready are having respect for each other. What I mean is that I do not show my items here on this forum to get respect.


Yes Claes, funny title

Believe me, this place use to be fun. And no one said anyone couldnt ask questions. But when anybody here gives an answer to the question, you do have a very bad habit of questioning the answer you get. Ive seen it several times already. And your right, you cant learn something without asking. But you have to remember, you are asking guys whove been in it for a long time and they kinda know what they are talking about. So when someone tells you that figures were not made in Germany, dont question them on why no or why not this cause they werent. Its already been said where the figures where made except for a hand chosen few that are exclusive to a particular area. PBP, Takara, Meccano, Palitoy come to mind.

You are right about something of it chris, but I would also say that some of the guys who are knowing a lot on this forum should look into the mirror and think about why some members are leaving this forum. I know some people would still be here on this forum if we all were nice to each other and helped each other more

And it is easy to get confused when some people say there is something like that and another say there is.

I hope it will be fun to be on this forum again and we all can talk nice to each other.

Believe me. We do look in the mirror and wonder why some leave. Heres an example for you. Take soren for instance. I simply asked him what I did others in the FOTW threads, remove a non-constructive comment in one of them. He chose to quit posting and/or leave on his own cause he couldnt say wow and cool in them. That was his choice cause he pitched a bitch cause he couldnt follow the rules. JoeO is another one. Why did he leave? One reason is cause of the attitude of some, yes I did say some not all, of the newer guys coming in here starting bullshit everyday not reading or listening to the advise given to them. Tell me one time that we didnt try to help out the newer guys when they asked something. I know Ive helped you with a few questions before. But when the questions start to get repeated over and over, what do you expect. Those who want to complain every day about this one wont tell me this or that or they wont share this with me need to figure out on their own why people dont want to share with them no more. Sometimes the OP needs to sit back and reflect on what they are doing before they go Gung-Ho with the keyboard and keep putting their foot in their mouth like budspencer did in that R2 Ledy thread of his. Give the guy a compliment and he wants to jump on the "Gang up on the older guys who help us out" bandwagon. And some wonder why we dont want to help.

Just need 3 of these for a full set of ESB 45 back German cardbacks.



Jason

Awesome stuff! In the late 90's, I had quite a nice German Star Wars focus going including about a dozen dead mint MOC figures that came out of a great source in the UK. I was going for a full set but abandoned the project for various reasons. Are you aware of anyone that has completed a carded set of these figures? I'm not sure what's turned up over the last several years, but I remember Fett, the Tusken Raider, and a couple others being nearly nonexistent in still carded form.

I love the General Mills cards. All those card backs are awesome, do you have a pic of your old set Bobby?

Here is my contribution:

I saw a full set of cardbacks posted on rebelscum many years ago.

Hi Jason.
Sorry, but that´s not correct. Actually they are 46 figures + 3 ROTJ cards.
Now you have 42 and there´s missing: Dengar,Lobot,R5-D4 and Zuckuss.
+ TIE Fighter Pilot, Cloud Car Pilot and Boba Fett on ROTJ/45backs

Just for the record:

All these ESB German cards were packaged in the UK, like the ESB Clipper and the Palitoy ESB 45 Back "B" (without logo). At the time, Palitoy was in chage to pack all these blisters with Far-East imported figures for European countries.

The first batch of German ESB carded figures wore on the back: "STAR WARS ACTION FIGURES, Collect all 45!" in english!!! Something no very appropriate for the German market. So they removed the sentence from the back in the next batch of production.

Last, General Mills is a general term to design these german card, but the headquarter of General Mills in Germany was also in charge of departments like food, fashion and goods. The toys department was led by Parker Spiel und Spielzeug, even if at some point, and during the Star Wars era, they used the "Kenner" term as sub-category. But at the end, it was always "Parker" Germany.

Hope that helps,

JC

thank you jc,you have answered an age old question for me which are 45 a backs and which are 45 b backs.now i can group them acordingly

Cool, have added Zuckuss to my list. 46 ESB 45 backs to get, makes perfect sense. :-p

I technically already have a Dengar, it has one of those 45C palitoy stickers on the bottom half of the back of the card. Would be nice to get an unstickered one though!

I also have a palitoy stickered ROTJ R2D2 Sensorscope which is German as the sticker is on at a wonky angle and you can see one word of german in the bottom right hand corner. Would that be a new German ROTJ 45 back to add to the list of known ROTJ 45 backs?

cheers Jason

Could you please post a picture of the R2-Cardback.
I am not sure anymore, but I´m pretty sure someone once told me sbout the existence of a 4th ROTJ card.

Jason

Very cool Many thanks

I have found the thread in our german forum, where Michael Kukla mentioned the existence of the R2, but had no proof.
I wish they would make an update of their page at "Raumhafen" with fotos of all figures.

Have posted links to the pics on their guestbook.

What's the link to the german forum? May have a look with google translate.

cheers Jason

Yes of course.

Cool. Have posted the pics on there too.



cheers Jason

Thanks for posting there.

After finishing your run you can start collect variants
I know there are two Luke Farmboy cardbacks, one with "collect all 45" text and one without it.
Two different snowtroopers, orange and red.

The "collect all 45" cardback must be pretty rare, I haven't got any of those.
