| Well there has been some outstanding limelight's already so i thought i would chime in with something. (albeit a modest contribution) Here is my Little Luke Focus Up First is my Luke Skywalker SW Canadian GDE 20 Back B Offerless This is the only know example of this figure on the Canadian offerless 20 back B to date! (I have been looking for another for years but none have turned up) Funny enough its Graded AFA 80NM (C80-B-85-F85) but the label just says Kenner 20 Back i wonder if Tom Derby will recase it for free Second is my Kenner ESB Luke Bespin 31 Back "Walking Photo"This has to be one of my favorite cardback images Third is my Palitoy ROTJ Luke Bespin.The figure is the dark boots PBP / Tri Variant. The Next one is my POTF Luke Jedi.It took me a long to time to find an example of this MOC with a crystal clear bubble! Finally my Tri Logo Luke Jedi.Here is a group shot going for SW - POTFI also have the following Luke Figure Variants.Form Left to Right 1 - Luke Bepsin - H.K COO Mustard Hair 2, Luke X-Wing Made in China Raised Bar 3, Luke Jedi - No COO, Sewn Cape, Blue Saber 4, Luke Hoth - HK COO Cheers Jay UPDATE 24/02/10Item 1
ROTJ Luke X-Wing Kenner with a Clear Bubble!
Item 2
The infamous Pablo (Zombie) Artesi Toy Toys Luke Jedi Prototype on Sample Card (There is a whole back story involved regarding this item!)

| As I remeber well Tom Derby mentioned a free recase if mistakes have been done!! So maybe try it. Many Luke focuses out there. But with a one of a kind card its definitly a good start. Where is Luke Stromtrooper???? wolff |

| Very nice Jay, you were holding out on us!
Was this an accidental focus just from various buys or was it something you set out to go after?
Nice condition as well! |

| Nice run Jay. I of course like the Jedi Luke the best, but they are all very nice. Do you plan to add a Poncho Luke at some point to go with them? |

| Just dawned on me seeing them all together that it looks like Luke has the most figure sculpts/costume changes in the line?
Followed by Han? |

Followed by Han? That he did Joe 7 in total Luke Original Luke X-wing Luke Hoth Luke Bespin Luke Jedi Luke Poncho Luke Stromtrooper Outfit Wolff I want to add a POTF or Tri Luke Poncho MOC, a Tri Logo Luke Stormtrooper MOC and a Luke X-wing MOC (any issue) to this run but they have to be clear bubble examples in C8 or above. Then i will display then all together. Im also looking for loose Luke Figure Variants to add as well. As those who know me will testify this is about as focused as i get as i can never stick to one figure |

| Hey Jay...good luck in finding these cards in good shape Luke has the most different disguises in the line. Funny thing is: I always denied to call the X-wing Pilot "Luke". I dont think it looks like a Luke....just a title to sell him better Always thought: WTH...this figure has BROWN hair.....today I know these should be the glasses not the hair.... Wolff |

| Very interesting Wolff. I loved the Luke figures when i was a kid, but never even bothered getting the x-wing version. Wonder if this was why??? :?: |

:?: I imagine that the Luke X-wing doubled as an army builder of sorts back in the day. Got to say i do think that particular figure was well done by kenner. I also love some of the Luke X-wing customs where the helmet is removable |

| Really nice figures Jay, regardless of the uncertainty of the Top Toys prototype it is still a cool display piece ! I always thought it was cool since I first saw it up for sale, when John got it I thought it was definitely going into a deserving collection and now straight into another one!
Great pick ups Jay |
