i did not know these even existed.... are they rare and super expensive?
details?

I am not entirely sure exactly how rare the Revenge proofs are.
As with anything, cost ranges depend on character and rarity of each. It seems that there is an equal amount of each character on the 48 back Revenge proofs (the Nien Numb offer is the 48 back).
Tons of info can be read about the Revenge Proofs HERE. That site has a ton of info on not just Revenge proofs, but everything proof related.

I have been selling off a bunch of smaller items lately like dupes and things not falling under my main foci, and leaving the paypal coffers alone so this wasn't that bad out of pocket, plus I got a pretty great deal on him.
And the two Revenge proofs I have I know should at least hold their value if not go up over time. Right now, they are the biggest items I own aside my AFA VC Jawa.

Right now, I am actually scoffing a bit at the AFA costs.
It is gonna run me nearly $120 each to have AFA grade them and enclose in UV acrylic.
The shipping and insurance costs round trip are coming in around $75 alone! (included in the $120 each estimate).
Freaking expensive!

cheers!

Congratulations on getting that proof card Jay. What a fantastic piece!  

Congrats on everyone's latest excellent acquisitions.   There have been many the last little while.

I was trying to keep the purchases to a minimum for the summer, and I was doing great with just picking up a few comics books here and there.  But I just finished a deal and got a couple Canadian boxed items. 

Clint - congrats on the boxed Canadian goodies and comics too

Jay - nice work with the proofs and I really like the Bespin Leia mocs a few pages back

yeah forgot to go back and throw another bid on that one , $20 for shipping was killing it for me anyway

Got a Han Bespin, I could say he is mint but hes got a nasty yellow right hand that i don't like other than that the figure is flawless. I guess ill have to try to find another one when i do my upgrades but i am still happy with this purchase.

WOW.. pinch me..

i paid well-  but interestingly the gentlemen I purchased the collection from had gotten the 20 pack and the 15 pack. ROTJ ? maybe  ? I think form Sears- or Penny's-  in the Star wars pack was also a reg snag and a blue snag. I believe him , he seemed pretty confident  he never had the Cantina set. The blue snag was not in a bag.
enjoy the pix all are authentic and orig sealed.  any confirm that a blue snag found in a multipack set before?
this is the second time I have heard of this.
album -- pix

I can't confirm that, but I had a friend that exchanged proofs for so many Boba Fetts when we were kids, that he wrote Kenner and asked them to send him something he didn't already have. They sent him a Blue Snaggletooth in a baggie and a box like the mail-away Fett's.

-G

Neonboy - Great Baggies ... nice pick up.



Ok so I am stretching on these and I know they will not be every ones cup of tea but had to get them for my growing Squid Head focus

Only the worst quality rubber went into making these babies

Oh those are fugly- part of the appeal  

Clint, that Canadian haul is amazing, congrats on the find!

Chopper, those Squid Heads are beautiuglyful!  

Taun Taun!!!... Taun Taun!!!

Crazy Beautiful box , almost mint. Got this for an awesome deal. Very happy with the box. Tape is still clear which is rare, aside from the nasty price tag the box is mint IMO. But it would not be vintage if it did not have flaws! Tauntaun is a bit beat up and the saddle and reins are damaged. But i can easily get a better TaunTaun on ebay.
Almost flawless purchase. It can’t get any better than that!





Maurice, the TaunTaun!



more pics in my limelight thread.

Beutiful tauntaun bud

Nice box Bud. If you want a minty Tauntaun, I think I saw one listed on ebay by James (ourchickenshack) and would bet he could get it to you at a decent price. May want to shoot him a PM on it.

More Leia Bespins for my focus... nothing fancy....

I thought my COO major variant run was done, but I missed this one:

COO#3 Turtle Neck


I have a COO#3 turtle neck, but a much different head sculpt and pale face.
I do have this exact same head sculpt as a COO#6 (COO removed).
I will need to upgrade her since she isn't in the best shape (anyone got one like her? )
So once again, I think my COO major run is done!

And this arrived the same day:

ESB-C baggie with Turtle Neck


Guess what?
I had a peek up her skirt enough to see she is COO#3! haha .... two in a day!!
I thought she would have been a COO#6 but I was wrong.

Anyway... I believe all I need now to finish the baggie run is an ESB-A which I know will be a bugger to get.

cheers!
