Your Latest Pickups........ Volume 2

Mate it would be awesome to hang out again!

That links reminds me that I need redo all of my damn C8 photos....Bloody Photobucket....

What a love fest going on here

It really did look like you guys had a good time. I shall have to make a concerted effort to attend the next one. NY would be awesome but its pretty much gonna be Florida or California considering the theme park openings.

Clint, I have that Celebration R2 proudly displayed with my last POTF figures and the fact that its made of parts you moulded yourself is beyond impressive.

Keeping on topic, look at this Canadian cardback that I've found at a pawn shop.

Chris, that is a fantastic looking card back. Well done.

It's one of my favourites.

The GDE Stormtrooper is in my top 3 vintage cardbacks of all time

Congrats Chris great find mate and looks to be in very nice shape

As I hear, its one of the more common to find with the GDE on the front. There's a guide at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] but it seems to be from 2003.

Excellent additions everyone. I think you GDE Stormie cardback is a very nice find Chris, as Andy said, it looks to be in great condition.

Great cardback Chris! I love how massive the GDE logo is!

great cardback Chris .. looks to be in great shape!!

Andy , fantastic mug dude , really cool

Andy, Fantastic mug. Is it a Sigma?

At first glance it looked a lot like the Sigma one.

Looks pretty close, but there is pretty much a right way to make a ceramic chewie mug, I suppose.

That Yoda looks quite distinctive! Great find. I'm not sure if the 3P0 bag is any different on the Ledy, I shall look into that

Great pick ups Bill. Both the LL C-3PO & PBP Yoda look to be in fantastic shape.

Thanks dudes!!

Here's a recent Canadian moc score I made at a comic shop in downtown Toronto, they posted a big buy on Instagram and I swooped in at opening time the next day and scooped the highlights There was a dealer who'd commented on this post, expressing interest in these 3 but I just got there first. Sometimes it pays to have irregular work hours. The dealer who wanted them has sold me about half of my Canadian Droids & Ewoks lol so we share taste, good or bad.

First up, Canadian unpunched Emperor, 77 back, little bit of creasing on the bottom right corner, not much to say here, why its awesome is all in the description of what it is.

Along with the Emperor, I got the unofficial members of the last 17, Lumat & Paploo, these Canadian versions were made in Mexico, and as such have perfectly clear bubbles. That combined with the really great general condition, & crazy backing colours really make these stand out to me.

Both of the Ewoks feature an identical Zellers sticker, a defunct department store (aside from two locations near me which are liquidation centres for HBC) which was a Canadian facsimile to Walmart, pre groceries. This sticker, and the fact that they share similar great condition, as well as coming from the same collection, I like to think that these were purchased at the same time.

Considering all that, & in a way, this is the complete 79 back wave, presumably on debut cards, (as these are both 77 backs (and as such do not feature themselves on the back) I think these are about the most interesting pair of Ewoks one can have. Frees up a POTF Lumat from my collection too, as this is far superior imho.

awesome carded goodies chris , those are in reat shape too
