Series 5

[Sithbaker]

Looking over my vintage display last night I still feel we need:

Hammerhead
Luke Skywalker (Hoth)
Luke Skywalker (X-Wing)
Snowtrooper
Princess Leia (Hoth)
Princess Leia (Bespin)
Princess Leia (Ceremonial)
Boushh
Jabba the Hutt
Bib Fortuna
Gamorrean Guard
4-5 Jabba Goons (Tessek, Ree Yees, Amanaman, Yakface, Klaatu, Nikto, Barada etc)
Lando Skiff
Lando General
Emperor's Royal Guard
TIE Fighter Pilot
2-3 More Ewoks
Spirit of Yoda
Spirit of Anakin

We also need a Grand Moff Tarkin!

Hell yeah need a Tarkin!
Any imperial officers would be cool actually.
This is a great list, nothing on there I would pass on (well, maybe the Spirits if
they were carded or something, not big on the spirit/hologram figs)

did the vintage Droids C-3PO share the same artwork as the vintage Droids R2-D2??

No.  The artwork on the Droids 3PO card was different from the R2 card..

There was a company called Glasslite from Brazil that released Droids figures, and every single figure had the same card front. Just as an FYI.

The Glasslite Droids C-3PO has the same exact cardfront as all the other Glasslite Droids figures.

I knew that image was from somewhere... that picture of C-3PO and R2 cowering below that shuttle looking thing is hard to forget just cuz its weird looking I guess..
so DON'T DO BIKERIDETONY!!!1111 sell R2 to meee 

To tell the truth, the carded R2 I have already has a bad backercard.  It's warped and I should've sent it back to the seller but I didn't want to hassle with it.  It's been bugging me ever since.  I pretty much have collected most of the carded figures as carded and uncarded with the exception of the Bape Fett, Vader, and Parco Sandtrooper which are just way too expensive.  R2 was the last on my list.  I don't think $66 was that great a deal either.  Anyway, the Droids 3PO was just an excuse to bite the bullet and get another one so I had something to scan.  I would much rather do a Droids C-3PO that looks like the Kenner one but I'm not sure how the Kubricks would translate into those positions.  I'll look into it though.  Thanks for those Brazilian Droids pics.  Really cool...  By the way, did anyone else get an e-mail from Ryo at Robby?  I just ordered another master case.

sorry amigo. what I meant was although the Glasslite's share the same card fronts the art that comes on the R2 that Bikeridetony bought is different from the art that comes on the Kenner C-3PO.

Yep, I think Ryo said they had 20 cases or so left (5 MCs), I`m sure they
will go fast. Didn`t order one though.

Got these in the mail today. Kinda neat! Cheap enough to say what the hell
and buy a set.

Comparison shot with a kubrick/box

This was the only label on the box:


All in all, for what they cost, they are pretty damn cool! I will gladly add them
to my Kubrick bootleg shelf

Sweet!  Dale (DSJ) and I have a set coming too.  (Actually, I only ordered the Vader)

The look good, can't wait for them to arrive.

Hold your breath when you open the bag, they must put them in right after they get
painted/treated or something, woke me right up!

So these sort of have a different smell than opening a Kuby eh!
