I have a small 8D8 focus collection and have been collecting on and off for the last 2 years, well, its evolved slightly (actually drastically) in the last few months with some of these items pictured leaving and some new ones arriving, a new display picture is much needed but for now this was my focus earlier in the year.



The mailers are all complete now with all correct bagged figures and the Kenner US + CDN Carded run is also complete.

Stay tuned for updates, but not just yet !

Nice 8D8 collection. Glad to see that the canadian moc whent to a good home. What pices are you hunting at the moment.

Yes I still have him Michael, thanks again !

I tried to upgrade it very early this year to a clear bubble but I lost out to another collector (I gave up really )

I have mostly the expensive items left to find , I have been lucky to find some awesome pre production items thanks to a few friends and connected contacts!

The one that still eludes me right now is the Lili Ledy MOC (but I was very close recently)

Thanks for the comment !

LOL trust me, even I hadn't realised exactly what there was out there for this little guy, I still have 3 different trilogo variations left to find!

I guess the big production piece is of course the Ledy, then its all expensive .. lol

Luckily, there is a tonne of pre production items out there to hunt down/wait for!

you have three different Trilogos and there are still three more you are missing????


I dont get these whole MOC collecting..

Probably as you MOC collectors dont get the coo collecting

Good luck on the missing ones

BTW: for a loose collector there is nearly nothi ng out there: rings on hip, no rings on hip and ledy.....thre figures. Thats it!!

wolff

There's the money shot

As always great looking focus Joe. I can't wait to see the updated picture with all the new goodies you have coming.

Yes the variations are low for loose figures, so I am happy

(I got lucky, all the hip circles etc I have all combinations in baggies, so it seemed silly to also buy them loose!)

Luckily, the trilogo variations are quite easy to identify and are country specific, by the end of it I should have a trilogo from at least 5 DIFFERENT countries!

Thanks Shawn, I appreciate that and all the help you have given me with the new pieces!

Again another amazing ROTJ Figure Focus Joe!

Anyone thinking of doing a ROTJ Figure Focus but is worried about what is out there or how much can be achieved just needs to check out Joes and Chris' awesome collections.

Its been a real treat to follow your hunt / quest over the last year and see you get some awesome items Joe!

I cant wait till the big update buddy !

One day I can see myself with a character focus. Even a torture droid collection can have magnificent variety Now stop holding out on us Joe you have heaps of new additions to show off

Nice Joe, good to see the focus. Expect it'll be very different soon...
:bball:

i like!

one of the cooler characters imo (and your card logos fit the character! )

Great collection there, Joe. Liking it a lot.

Nice one Joe, great looking focus mate.

You make that skinny droid look good

Why doesnt AFA acknowledge the 8D8 Leg/hip variants. Some have circles on both hips, some with a circle only on one leg???????? I have some mint loose ones with all three combos but dont want to send them in to get graded!!!!



Yet they acknowledge the Green Limbs chewbacca, which pretty much has been denied by collectors as a true variant and only fading/discoloration in the limbs due to different type of plastic.

Even if it is a rather boring variation (even for me!) I agree with you, to label Chewbacca with green limbs yet
not mention the circles on 8D8 is a little strange.

Granted its really not that interesting but its definitely a real variation much more so than many others that AFA
acknowledge (tan limbs klaatu..)

I just wish they would acknowledge it.... since I have 3 different ones!!!!

Either way joe, great collection!

I hope my Boba Fett collection gets that good someday!!!

Appreciate the comments Its not yet anything to be amazed over but hopefully next year that will change

Looking forward to seeing your Boba Focus!

Glad to see you got the mailers complete now. Its all looking pretty good so far. Can't wait to see the update.

I have seen this focus before I think?

Looking good Joe

2010 will be the year of the robot mark my words

Major update due!!!! Stick with me its gonna be worth it (finally!)

I am quite fond of the white skinny dude to be honest, not individual MOC's mind. I love seeing all the cards in one place

Can you hear it?

Listen....

Update coming

It is really close now.

Just been messing about with my "wardrobe" from heaven lol

Didn't have the chance to get much out but thought I would see how the carded looked in there, was exciting to see my figures
on display for all of 10 minutes













I still need 2 more acrylic cases, had to share some for these shots and instead of acrylic for my pre production I went the cheap route and picked up some toploaders lol but that big update won't be here till the summer as I am painfully paying a few
items off (but still )

Progress report over & toys now back in the boxes
