I figured most people are not checking out the CIV section of the forum anymore but i wanted to share this with you guys. It wasnt easy (or cheap)

Oh, you lucky bastard, Daniel!! Man, that's a beautiful set. Most envious I am... I assume we're not allowed to ask how much it set you back, right? :-X
I was at CIV and tried to get into a couple panels, but folks weren't coming out of them when they let out each time, so even if you were near the front of the line for the next panel, you still weren't even guaranteed to get a spot in the 300 seat room. I was pretty bummed, so I just threw in the towel on even bothering to try to get any of those medallions. My only real regret for the convention.
Great addition to your collection though, for sure. Congrats!
(p.s. LMK if you ever wanna sell the set for cheap! ;))

thats a nice collection. thanks for sharing...
-
Very nice Daniel, congrats on getting a complete set. Looks very nice in that display case. 8)
I managed to get 2 medallions thus far, Sand People & 3PO. I may land up getting those single display cases for them.
Now to get a hand on those Celebration Europe medallions. ;) :-X

Well if it wasn't for the Vader medallion, it would have been way below what the full sets are going for. The Vader was around 100.00. The rest were not as bad as i thought they would be becuase most had free shipping so that cut out some price. I think the low i paid was 32.00 for one. With out doing the actual calculations i would say around 500.00 - 550.00. It is a cool set, and with that said i am staying away from the celebration europe ones. I can't afford to do this again.
-
What a sweet looking set. I'm very jealous! ~$100 for the Vader coin, eh? Damn, that's the one I'd want the most.
-
Most impressive. I doubt that was an easy score.

I was over at Shane's Friday night & I had the pleasure of seeing & holding the Gold medallion set. This set is way better than the pewter set as the gold color highlights them way better.

I can't wait to get my CE medallion set. ;D
-
The gold set looks cool, but i am happy enough with mine not to be upset. I am however getting the itch to try for the celebration europe ones. Whats wrong with me! ???
-
I just finished my set of medallions (final one is in the mail now) and am psyched to get a case for them. I managed to pick up 6 at the convention and the others through some good deals.
The pre-production pieces that they have on the archive are cool. I'm pretty sure someone had some of the pre-produciton pieces at CIV, I think I saw them during the collector's social hour but didn't get a close look.
As cool as the CE medallions look I don't think I'll try for a set of those. I have a feeling they may be much more expensive than the US versions were but, cost aside, I don't have the nostalgia for the foreign pieces as I do for the US set and that was part of what made them interesting to me.

Celebration Europe 12 COLLECTOR MEDALLIONS (http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-Celebration-Europe-12-COLLECTOR-MEDALLIONS_W0QQitemZ300129107779QQihZ020QQcategoryZ154QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

$1200. Ouch.
-
Saw that as well. I will be staying away from that.
-
The CIV sets were going around a Grand before and during the con and have dropped to $800 or less now. I'd hold out, I don't think they'll stay that high but I think they will be somewhat higher than the US versions just because they'll be selling them in Pounds or Euros and the exchange rate sucks right now.
My Luke medallion came yesterday along with a bonus piece, an R2-D2 test medallion. Here's a photo of the set and the R2:

Time to order up a display case for them now.

That's an awesome set!

It is sold already. I wonder if whoever had it, sold it to the ebay seller first. I can't imagine a panel participant would sell their own set. efranks, where did you get the quote in your signature? I don't recall ever saying that.
-
I paraphrased it from this post (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=14014.msg309965#msg309965).
The auction said that Hollywood Heroes brokered the sale for a presenter. So, from that, I take it to mean a presenter that received this set wanted to sell but rather than post his/her own eBay auction they went to HH to sell it for them to give them some anonymity. Plus it's a high priced item so they may have wanted someone else to handle the receipt of payment and take care of shipping.
That's why it kind of surprised me that one of these sets came up for sale like that.
As I said, I can see the lure of the payout. $3k would have covered all my expenses for going to CIV plus put over $1k back in my pocket. Still, that's not the type of thing I would think to sell, it's so unique.

They do look very awesome in gold.

I have to get my hands on the Boba Fett one.

Hopefully we should be able to snag that French Reunion medallion, looks very nice. 8)
-
Very nice. Not many have such collections. Congrats.
-
Does anyone know where I can get cases or single or double medallions?
-
The only place you will be able to get official frames for the medallions is over at RS, they have 2 frames (CIV & CE $75.00 ea.) or singles for $15.00 ea. All 3 frames will be available after October 1st unless that changes again. :-\
Official Medallion Frames (http://www.rebelscum.com/estore/products.asp?cat=168)
If you want to go another way, maybe check out a coin store for some kind of case to hold them in.

Thanks for the heads up, i'll just have to wait it out for now. A buddy of mine gave me the CE Chewie as a gift and i'd really like to display it. Maybe i'll try the coin shop tip as well. Thanks again!

What an incredible set. Consider me jealous. :o
-
I am liking the CE set vey much as well. I am a little envious. ;) Part of me wants it even more now becuase of the Boba Fett medallion is technically (in my mind) part of the European set.

Looks like Reunion II in Paris has another couple of medallions to go with the Fett.
(http://www.starwars-reunion2.com/images_pages/news/pieces/visu_challenge.png)
French 501st Garrison (silver), Boba Fett (silver) & French Rebel Legion Base (gold).
Opinion with the collectors! (http://www.starwars-reunion2.com/index.php)
Collector's items for Star Wars Meeting II (http://www.starwars-reunion2.com/animation.php#coins)
Bable Fish translation:
The collectors will be able to leave to hunting to the parts during two days Star Wars Réunion II. Indeed, several associations of fans taking part in the event manufactured collector's items at the time of the 30 years convention of Wars Star. Thus, two parts with the colors of the 501ème and Rebel Legion will be distributed at the time of the mini-plays organized within convention. A third part, sponsored by MintInBox.net, will be also distributed during the weekend. This last part which puts at the honor Boba Fett, takes as a starting point the the parts accompanying the first figurines Star Wars marketed by Kenner.
Oy! These are going to be tough to get. :-\
-
Damn it!!! Now i have to get 3 more instead of one.
-
Man those coins are awesome now I wish I could attend this con as it looks like it's going to be a good one.
-
Just got my CIV medallions today, now onto the Reunion medallions. ;D

I have been working on the Reunion ones, has not been easy. No luck yet

Yeah i didnt think i was going to get outbid with such a high bid, but i did. :-[
-
I'd love to get my hands on the CIV Darth Vader coin (http://cgi.ebay.com/Celebration-4-Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-medallion_W0QQitemZ300168255139QQihZ020QQcategoryZ154QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), but I doubt I'll ever be able to justify paying $100. :-\

Finally got my Boba Fett. I would love to get the other 2 but i have yet to see any up on ebay. (again sorry for the terrible pic, i think it may be time for a new camera)
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l59/evenflow666/boba.jpg)
-
Sweet Dan, looks great. Congrats. :) Looking forward to receiving my Fett coin. ;D
I have not seen the other 2 medallions thus far & when they do show up... :-\
-
Thanks! ;D I am sure i paid more than i should have. As for the others medallions, do we have any confirmation about them? Does anyone know of anyone who actually has them? I contacted the designer of the medallions and he had nothing to do with making the other 2.
-
Oh I'm sure we paid more than we wanted too. :-X ;D
I have not seen any confirmation on the medallions after I posted about them, I will send an e-mail over the pond & see what I can find. ;)
-
If you hear anything let us know.
I was wondering if anyone was good at making labels or little signs. I would love to have cool Reunion II graphic to put in the little space like the larger frame has. If anyone thinks they could help out let me know. Thanks in advance.
;D
-
I sent an e-mail so will see what happens. ;)
If you have a good printer you can do it that way or maybe a graphic store that does text labels & such but I am unsure what the cost would be.
I have not ordered any of the frames thus far but will soon & having the Reunion logo on the single would make the piece complete. I do have a friend that works at a grahic/decal store. What size would the graphic be? Maybe I can get a few made up. ;)
(http://www.starwars.com/community/event/fanclub/img/20070503_1_bg.jpg)
-
The space on the case is not that big and runs horizontal. I would guess its 2 1/2 by 1/2.
-
Ahh, I see the cut in the mat.
(http://www.rebelscum.com/estore/prodimages/medallionsingle.jpg)
So you want to go with this logo?
(http://www.starwars-reunion2.com/images/swr2_hg_02_fr.jpg)
-
Yeah actually i think that logo would work extremely well.
-
Great, will go with that logo. I am going to order my 2 frame sets & a single next week at months end, I will wait till they arrive & I can give my friend the single frame to use so it looks & fits right. ;)
As for the other Reunion medallions, I received a reply back on them. Yes, they were released at SWR2 & will be more difficult to find as the distribution process was very hazardous & most of the production went into both club members hands. A very tiny number of the other medallions were distributed on the event.
If they do show up on the bay, looks like we better get another mortgage... were screwed. :-\ :'(
-
Well i guess its good to know that some of them are out there. It gives me hope but not much. :-[
-
Sweetness in the mail today, my Boba Fett Medallion plus a Certificate of Authenticity & a La Guerre Des Etoiles postcard. A great big Thanks to my friend Stephane. :)

Now to order the frames to display them in & get that Reunion II logo done up. ;)
-
Very nice indeed. ;D
-
I was just looking at the store page on RS on the frames & I found this beauty for the Fett medallion.

Fett Medallion Frame (http://www.rebelscum.com/estore/proddetail.asp?prod=1fettmedallionfram&cat=168)
-
When i first bought my single display case i had a little e-mail conversation with RS about the graphic and he said they would eventually include one but not to worry about ordering now becuase they would make it available for those of us who bought early. I hope he comes through on his word. I just e-mailed him asking for one.
-
I been looking on this forum for the last couple of days. And seeing these medallions bring back good memories. But i find it strange that i don't see anybody mentioning the Medallion stickers !!!! Yes, there were stickers made for each of the medallions.
Here is a pic of the ones i have.
(http://gallery.mac.com/cpthansolo/100089/CRW_5811/web.jpg)
-
I have one of the stickers, c-3PO i believe. I was more interested int he coins when i was buying them. Since this thread has been brought back up...Anyone else expecting another medallion for Celebration Japan?
-
I never bothered with the stickers, the medallions were more eye candy to me.
A Celebration Japan medallion, that's all I need now. Still hunting for the other 2 Reunion medallions. :-\

Wow! Congrats on the Fett medallion. :)
I read over at RS some got him too & a few are liking the exchange rate for the Euro. :-X
I wonder what the future will bring for medallions this convention year? :-X

Though I'll take the exchange rate over the Ebay price any day.

Wow! Congrats! Glad you got one, its pretty cool. ;D

Yes, congratulations.
I got the email informing me that I was not chosen to get one. :-\ Oh well.
-
Guess you better add the Celebration Japan (http://www.starwars.com/community/event/celebration/news20080513b.html#hljs) Medallions to your list... :D
(http://www.starwars.com/community/event/celebration/img/20080513b_3_bg.jpg)
-
12 more thats insane but i NEED them! :o Especially that Chewbacca to go with my Takara figure.
-
I wonder what the future will bring for medallions this convention year? :-X
Well it's about time they announced the JP medallions, I had my first look over at Shane's before the toy show but I had to keep tight lipped on them. These medallions are the cat's ass, all representing various vintage Japanese toy lines. 8)
(http://www.celebrationjapan.com/images/pic-coins1.jpg)
Yeah, the hunt will be on for a set of these. ;D
-
Now that they have been announced, do you know what 12 will be included?
-
I can't remember them all, just saw a pic of them. They will be announced as more collecting panels are added before Celebration Japan begins. Also, it sounds like a frame will be available through the RS store for this set.
-

(http://www.starwars.com/community/event/celebration/img/20080522_medal_sm.jpg)
Also noted from my good friend Chris Georgoulias on RS:
Each one corresponds to a different Japanese collectible, all vintage except for Luke which was 1992. There are a mix of item types plus the various manufacturers. It was a conscious decision to have a nice variety of each.
On the back of the medallions there is a text description of the item, if it's part of a larger series as well as the name, manufacturer, and date.
-
I need to find a few more jobs i thinks.
-
Got my Boba Fett Medallion today from the Mint in Box contest. Very Nice, it came with Cert of Authenticity as well.
-
Oh boy, a gold Fett coin. Good luck! :-\
There will be well a medallion Gold Boba Fett! (http://www.mintinbox.net/Actus/08-06/0456-Gold-Boba)
Thanks to the authorization of LucasFilm, Boba Fett will have its version GOLD like the 36 other medallions (Celebration 4, Celebration Europe and Japan Celebration), here in preview has what it resembles:
(http://www2.mintinbox.net/site/actus/08-06/0456-Gold-Boba/gold_blanc_WM.jpg)
40 pieces, no contest or for sale that I can see. Nice tho.
-
Looks cool but i am happy with the standard versions.

Here's the 2 pics that I saw over at Shane's, complements of my good friend Chris Georgoulias. ;D

A damn fine set & worth hunting down, 3 weeks to go.

Very awesome

I want them all but 6 of them are really musts

I love the transforming X-Wing and of course the wind-up R2.
Hmmm... I'm not familiar with that Darth Vader candy premium. Time to do some hunting for info.

1st full set of the medallions (http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-JAPAN-Celebration-MEDALLION-Complete-SET_W0QQitemZ130240208471QQihZ003QQcategoryZ154QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) on the bay... $899.00. :-\

I saw that one. Nice set but dont think i will be going for it that way. I am hoping to buy them individually i think.

2 sets sold. I know it wasn't me, wish it was though.
-
Wasn't me either, hopefully more show up but a little lower. :-\
-
I think I'm just going to aim for the Vader one. Eventually. I still haven't picked up the CIV or CE versions, so there's no big rush.
-
Going to be a very hard set to complete me thinks, a member at RS asked for a complete set of all 12 CJ medalions in the "I need help with exclusives!" thread.
Michael Ritter whom I know made this responce:
Not to sound harsh, but good luck in your search. I was there for all 12 panels and each one was packed. And almost all panels had people left out because of a lack of seats. The medallions were very popular and well received. I think the few sets that got completed in cJ will remain in Japan and will be difficult to purchase after all is said and done.
:-\
-
not good at all
-
Unless those prices drop on the bay, this set is out of reach for me. $750. to $950. they are asking. :-\
-
I think i'll be happy if i can just get the R2 and chewbacca.
-
Sold for a bin of $295.00.

Nice medallion.
On a side note, my Japan Chewbacca in now in my possession and i am waiting for my wind-up R2 in the mail. I am in no rush to get the rest. Eventually i assume.
-
Yeah, it's nice but not for me. He does have another on the bay tho. As for the CJ medallions, I'm not going to get them yet, not sure if I will. :-\
Nice you were able to get the one's you wanted Dan. :)
-
Thanks ;D

Well you are obviously making the smarter decision. In my defense the girlfriend surprised me with these too. She is terrible at saving things for birthdays and Xmas. ;D
-
One more closer to being done. Got the Y-wing at a really great price.
-
Nice going Dan, almost there. 8)
A full set was on the bay last week for a bin or $250. of BO, I submitted a BO but before the seller got back to me it was bin'd. :-\
-
That would have been a good price. I am no rush for these. I got the Y-wing for 6.00 and change plus shipping.
-

Ooooh, very nice. Gonna make Jesse jealous on that one. ;)

Woah, jealous is right. Nice pick up!
-
Thanks guys, 4 more to go. ;D

Finally done :D

Very nice Dan, patience paid out. 8)
I should have my set (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=170303252592) in a few weeks. ;D

I was able to get this medallion at the Star Wars Fan Days III Live Auction. It was one of the few items I wanted and that I was lucky enough to win.
