Picking up on your point of MOC collectors listening to loose collectors, have you ever collated the data from MOC collectors asking which COO appears on figures on certain releases?

Would that be a great tool for discovering the origins of certain figures just like we did here?

Its true MOC collectors in most cases do not take much notice of COO markings and loose collectors probably don't see much interest in card variations and releases etc but in the end it all ties in to make the bigger picture, its good to bridge the gap and work out a common problem

I agree...I just wanted to point out that I knew this can only be found in France.....Moc collectors like you and Stephane at least found him....so good cooperation.

From my time on RS I know that most Moc collectors dont listen to loose collectors like me....It would help us both to better listen to each other.

May I introduce a new figure from interest???


MACAO Biker.......anyone ever seen the Colgate packaging which may have a Macao Biker inside???
(I only have a pic from a french Colgate with Bib)

From what I know it never was released on card!

I agree 100% and unfortunately MOC collectors can sometimes be the key, they are just a little lazy

I remember Jay went through hoops trying to get people to check weapon variations on MOC with other collectors, I know he got help in some cases but many people don't bother to check for 1 min on their MOC figures to help out some other collectors.

No offense....but also most MOC collectors dont have the "feeling" to decide between this tiny tiny differences on weapons and molds and color, etc.....

Loose collector handle such things every day.....so I see there is a problem.

Best solvers are focus collectors. I.e. nobody helped me as much as Stephen on which accessories belongs to which Yoda....I think such focus collectors are the key to our probnlems

Wolff

I knew some of you wouldn´t accept Billys pictures as reference of the Boba, but the card looks 100% legit. Stephanes confirmation is the definately provement of the figures origin.

What are you talking about french Colgate packages? They were only available in Spain. With a confirmed Bib and rumored Madine and Biker Scout.

Dumpass....sry for that. Spain ok! (I have to learn to read whats on my pics...my memory isnt very good in such things )

Ok..then was the PBP Biker released in that???Any carded around???

Hey Joe, perhaps we can make a thread in the content and reference library for Fett now we have some covered here, maybe transfer the posts over and make something nice out of it all? Would aslo need adding to mind with all the others info, better wait i guess and keep covering them all here first.

My daughters cam has been sent away for repair (they dont do replacements bah!) have to wait weeks now

Ill mess around with this 5MP one lying here see if its any good.

Great result on this one lads!

I will say that it would be awesome to get MOC collectors involved on cases like this. This in my opinion is the type of research that needs to be carried out! If enough collectors can work together we can really gain a deeper understanding of the hobby we all love

Regardless of what the name is the "Meccano" Fett is one super cool hard to find variant


So is it more accurate to call this Fett the Maccu Fett as so far all the information suggests that it was probably produced in France at the Maccu factory?

I think the Macau factory was in China, hey Joe can you ask Stephane if the card mentions the figures COO on the back? i know we know its France but would be nice to see a pic

My bad lol your right the Macau factory is in China i meant that the factory produced figures for the french market as Wolff said above posts.

Awesome display of Fetts man! I prefer Landmine Fett too!

My Fett Collection:



The Trilogo Unpainted knee is a 45 Palitoy. The rocket is a 90s Custom but I'll never own a real so it doesn't matter.

Craig those AFAs are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Coach!

I bought them in 2006 with the money from my PhD scholarship.

Both cost a fortune at the time but I think the price have come down since then.

Been having a buthchers at your collection man... cracking stuff too!

Great news and great detective work fellas!

Awesome read on this thread all the way around! Fascinating stuff!

A little for anyone who hasnt seen this cool thread

this is a cool thread and didnt see it untill now.

i actually have a couple of fetts myself and a focus on it,but im not the expert here.
will take some pics when my latest purshase arrive's a ledy fett and a second tai.
i will also check the markings on the legs of my fetts to see is there are any surprisses

also i tiny suggestion,
some threads regarding reference or info get so long that its hard to find the info needed.
could anything of use be put on the front page for easier use?

Cool Fetts dude. Been thinking about getting one (loose obviously) but not sure on which one and how much to pay. Want one in near mint condition and then I'll put him into a cosy custom for my display

first you must deceide how much you want to spend on a near mint fett,then you can look at witch one you want.
but fetts go from arround 20$ to 250$ or more depending with one it is.

the tai's are nice and go for arround 30$

Ok, thanks for the info DLT9

Hi Buddy

The front page of the forum has multiple links to various places under the forum titles examples are links to the main TIG site www.imperialgunnery.com (this forum is a sub part of that site) TIG you Tube and others etc so there isn’t the space to add more links really.

The lili Ledy Guide has its own section and the tab for that is located next to the home page tab

I bumped this thread as i though it would be good for new people that may have missed it all the threads stay on the site but as they become old they move down the pages but they can looked for at any time

There is also the search feature as well located (under the banner) that’s a good tool to find threads via key words.

What may be a good idea is to create a sticky in vintage chat where we can add links to all the good variant threads in the first post?

Cheers Jay

thanks for the heads up
i will try to get some pics of all my fetts later today.

ok here are my fetts left to right
hong kong bright green chest,hong kong pale green chest,taiwan,taiwan different blue + lighter limbs

actually some of these fetts COO's are more crisp then others,will snap of pic of them maybe there is a suprise i dont know of?

Bumped as requested

Ive also edited the original title to make it easier to search for

Thanks à lot mate
Anyone has Somers new aditions or varitions?
I have and Will post some pics later.
