Sweet new buys guys
Really cool poster,that one was new for me

I've really missed contributing.... but I finally got something new : ) Thanks for looking, -Steve

(Engineering Pilot) C3PO



This E.P. C3PO originally came from a former Kenner Employee. The ex-Kenner employee's job was checking EPs for quality after they came back from the orient. This figure came in a large collection of nothing but EPs. None of them were marked, however many of them differed from production in various ways. As you can see, he is missing his screw in his back. Thank you Tracey Hamilton for the extra provenance, I appreciate it : )

Umm WOW!!

That's so cool Steve!!

Wow
Great addition steve
How many figures left for a first 12 run?

Congrats Steve!

I had a feeling we would see something new after that recent spate of sells.

Thank you guys : )

Unfortunately 4 of the toughest... Vader, Solo, Stormtrooper and Jawa. That would also almost complete my first 20....

Well
Good luck to get them
I dont know how many of each one is out there but the ones i come to think of is never gonna leave the owners collections

There are at least eight confirmed Jawa first shots and I think six Vader first shots.


Congrats Steve. The C3PO looks awesome..

Some amazing new pic ups guys congratulations    

Great additions everyone!

Thanks to Aussiejames for his generosity and now my only Top Toys figure so far .... you may have just created another fetish for me. Had an awesome time going through my loose collection with James. 500+ figures looked at with only 15 or so that were identical .... so much for me cutting down the collection, although, 15 is a good start !!

Thanks for the info of the vaders and jawas jason

cool find , i had a stormtrooper for a year before noticing it was a top toys fig

had him stuffed away with other beater fig lol

found a chief chirpa aswell since then

Top Toys figures are cool, they look like bootlegs but were officially licensed by Kenner. I remember the storytrooper and chirpa figures been the first ones I added to my collection.

Chopper, awesome top toys logray, ive been looking for one myself like that, its a great figure, congrats.

I have a few pickups I want to show, but first, can anyone please tell me a little more about these little cards?

They are from FHER out of Spain from 1980 reading "La Guerra De Las Galaxias" "El Imperio Contraataca" but that is all I can tell you about them.

The cards themselves are tiny, measuring 45mm x 62mm (odd sized too, no?). I didn't know that were that small at first, but man they are pretty cool!


Wrapper front and back -


Card #221
"Pintura De Ralph McQuarrie"
"Destruccion De Threepio" (Destruction of Threepio - cool title!)


Card #208
"Lucha Espectacular" (Spectacular Fight - another great title!)


(you can click on them to go to Flickr to see larger versions to see the small text better if needed)

So... anyone know anything about these little guys?

cheers!

My pickup/receivings for January so far:

MOC POTF Han in Carbonite
AFA 85+ ROTJ Gamorrean Guard MOC
AFA70 EX+ 20 back A Jawa MOC
Tri Logo MOC ROTJ Lando in Skiff Guard disguise
Han Solo ANH Model Trem (THANK YOU PATSY!)
ROTJ MOC 77 back Han in Trenchcoat w/ 2 different sticker offer on it

Nice cards, Jay. They look to be ESB only Spanish trading cards, not reprints of Topps but unique to the Fher license.

found a few links that might help here:

Already posted this on another thread, but my first 31B, the POP was removed but still... my 11-year old, she loves it and that's what matters right now. Got Leia at a great price and the bubble is perfect and the rest of the card is fairly solid, only some rough edges at a couple of spots.
