- James - nice set of toppers :cheers:they're handpainted 1983 H.C. Ford (UK) and come in a set of 11 (according to Tomarts, and they also list the Ewok as Wicket). You have two variations in your set and you need Gam Guard to complete the set of 11
Seems to be a fair number of mould and colour variants around so happy hunting
Some more info and pics here http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t4665-tig-world-of-odd-stationery on page 1 post 1, plus additional info if you scroll down page 1 a bit. Awesome - Thank you for all the additional info and the great link Paul From looking at the pics in the "World Of Odd" thread it looks like I at least need to hunt down : Gamorrean Guard Ewok (bright orange) Hoth Han (light pants) Ackbar (red/orange skin) I guess my Admiral I have is "Admiral Blackbar" The R2 figures in the link all look like their decals are upside down too - I wonder if I can hunt one down with the decal the correct way :scratch: Thanks again !!!! |

| I had an unhappy mailman at my door today... 4 packages of new toys and 5 random packages from Amazon... I felt bad for him, but I was happy with what was inside! Here is a group shot of them all 4 packages combined together. I just started to move my loose focus up from the first 12 to the first 21, hence some of the basic figures. The Death Star Droid is the best on I have had in my hands since I was a kid. Still very shiny and not many scrapes or scratches at all. Paint is very good except his left eye which almost looks like it was poorly painted rather than faded or chipped away (near perfect circle of missing paint). And now for the more interesting ones... A Lili Ledy Yoda with LL belt (cheers walkie!) A Lili Ledy regular Leia Bespin with LL cape (ripped and taped - but it is better than my other naked LLLB) She will replace my older LLLB since she is in a bit better shape paint wise. I believe this is a PBP Greedo. Deep scar and COO#3 in the guide. I didn't get him for that, he came with some of the other figures above. I read the PBP/POCH thread and there isn't much there on him at all. I will post him over there and ask a couple questions I am sure! So, nothing crazy, but some decent shpae stuff to start the next bump up in my loose focus a little at a time and with room to upgrade as well. I did some artsy stuff with a few that came out pretty cool that I will post in my artwork limelight next. cheers! |

HOLY CRAP! I missed that entirely! Goes to show you I am really focused on the first 12/21 with a little wandering here and there and that is it. I had NO IDEA that wasn't a Han Endor/Trenchocat! I snagged him for the non-camo lapel on the trenchcoat and was going to rip his head off for a custom!!!!!!!!!! I thought what I paid was a great deal for the trenchcoat Han, but it is 5 10 times better now! PM me Stefan! I might be interested........... cheers! .........wow ........................ |

| really nice pickups guys, very cool factory error rr tri fett Alex. love those toppers james, and great to pick up so many of the set in one go, very nice buddy. a very nice haul of figures Jay, nice looking Wally and Luke x wing pilot. I had my eye on Stefans LL Yoda too but unfortunately i'm in the process of selling one house whilst living in another so finances are very tight at the mo, so that means no vintage for me for a while really nice photos too Jay, that new camera and lighting tent were definitely worth it mate. oh and at the han trench coat |

lmao I mentioned this to Stefan in a PM, but I thought something was odd when I was putting the trenchcoat back on... it was like cramming someone into skinny jeans that shouldn't be wearing skinny jeans. I just didn't think that the figure was wrong.... still funny that something that obvious just went so un-noticed! I won't tell you that even after putting him in a case NEXT TO a correct Han Trenchcoat, I STILL didn't notice... I jsut thought it was a Han "fat head" variant for me to look into later. |

- Just got these weird little Pencil Toppers from the UK - I absolutely love them
anyone know if there are different figures or even variations available ?
I got these all in one lot and know nothing about them - I just really think they are neat - particularly the R2 .
any additional info on them would be greatly appreciated
If someone knows where I can buy others to complete the set please let me know - Thanks !!! http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t4665-tig-world-of-odd-stationery There are some paint variations ( ie. I want your dark Ackbar !!) |

| There is way too much happening in this thread, so it's time for another update from me.... Powerdroid (Kenner) UPGRADE Rebel Soldier - Dark Brown with Pale Face variant (Tri-logo/Euro) Kez-Iban (Kenner) UPGRADE Klaatu - Unpainted Hood (Lili ledy) Luke Stormtrooper (Kenner) UPGRADE AST-5 (Kenner Canada) How Do You Like it Leaflet (Kenner) ROTJ Movie Insert (Kenner) Several upgrades for my quest for MINTY MINTNESS. Both Luke stormie and the Kez-Iban came with the correct black blasters which is harder to find nowadays. Strangely enough I had the REVENGE movie insert but not the RETURN one, oh well I have both now! As for the "How Do You Like It Leaflet", this was included with the Vehicle Maintenance Energizer and features a questionnaire about your star wars toy collection on the rear.

| Subject: POPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sat Jun 22, 2013 12:23 pm | |
| WOW! I just picked this up from John, he shipped it YESTERDAY and it showed up this morning!!! POPY LUKE !!!!! The POPYs have always made me smile! Kind of a mix between a baggie and a carded figure with the added bonus of the Japanese Awesomeness! I have decided to put my MOC Luke FB wants on hold since I have been burned on my last two attempts (one I just posted about in the Watch Out thread) so I decided to go for a baggie Luke FB or a POPY... I didn't think I would see a POPY for sale or on eBay any time soon and well, both happened in the same week! Anyway, I pulled the trigger with John's and am very happy!! (sealed baggie and both catelogs inside plus it has a nice acrylic case!) It will look great in my display case I am working (crap, I need to post up my updated progress on that project in my limelight!) And, add to that, I got this oddity off him as well.... Crazy Mexicans! (no offense meant at all.... I just love their whacky bootlegs!!!!) I think I will call it "Pew Pew Armas de Lucas" - Luke's Pew Pew Weapon. cheers!

| Hi guys, here are my latest purchases, sadly vader is just sealed the upper side but is a retorno card!!! Han Trench and Death star commander 100% MOC!!!!, Imperial Shuttle is complete with inserts, instructions,catalog and warranty. But the most special figures even more than the Vader and moc`s are the next bootlegs , they were made using LL overstock parts and authentic LL paint , of course this happened after when LL factory closed . Leia`s helmet is just overstock, figure is normal LL. Special thanks to OZIO!!! |
