Title: 30AC Variations and Errors
Post by: Gorkoracing on March 14, 2007, 01:43 PM
While I haven't found any error figures yet there is at least one variation out already.

The super battle droid originally came with a warning sticker on the front bubble and a warning sticker on the back of the card.  This was changed to a printed warning on the cardback but still had the bubble warning sticker and then was changed again to have printed warnings on both the insert and the cardback.

The lava miner also has a warning sticker on the bubble and cardback so this figure may be changed next.

Another thing to check would be the concept stormtroopers coin.  The original pics showed the bottom of the coin as reading "Concept" the figures showing up have the coin reading "McQuarie Concept".  So you might check and see how your concept stormy's coin reads.

Also just read about a clean and dirty shield variation on the concept stormy.

I found an error on the Biggs Darklighter I got today. The back of the card has the list of 'other awesome characters' at the bottom, and it says:

#6 Obi-Wan Kenobi
#6 Mace Windu
#7 Airborne Trooper
#8 Super Battle Droid

...and so on up until #15. Two #6s in a row. Weird.

It is still kind of early to tell but the luke is coming with reddish brown hair and brown hair like pictured on the cardback.  The reddish brown hair is believed to be the first version and my mockup luke has this reddish hair.

The McQurrie Trooper also has tow left biceps.  It's different than the 03 figure. Just a way to save some cash for Hasbro.

Interesting i'll have to check mine.  I've heard of two left or right bicept errors on other figures but you may be correct on this.

As for the 2 #6's cardback mistake it is found on the biggs fett and luke that i know of I dont have the others yet.

That is strange, Madcow, but quite interesting!

Yesterday I found a Galactic Marine in a Wave 3 revision case, and I think he is the 'color variation' everyone was talking about. The variation is not the figure itself, but the backpack! I compared my latest Wave 3 Marine with my Wave 1 Marine and found that Wave 3 Marine has a WAYYYY dirtier backpack than the Wave 1 Marine. Ill provide some pics later today, forgot to do so earlier. Im pretty sure thats the color variation!

I just noticed that I have 2 different variations of the McQuarrie Boba Fett. The flame on both are significantly different. One is a clear orange with black streaks while the other is a frosted red/orange. I'll post pics tonight or tomorrow...
Title: Re: 30AC Variations and Errors
Post by: Gorkoracing on June 6, 2007, 06:34 PM
I've seen several of each.  The flames are either translucent or seem to have been painted over with orange then the black on the ripples.  Not sure if there is any pattern to these yet judging from datestamps.  They also either have a red stripe on the back of the handle of his gun or no stripe.  A prototype painted sample i've seen had the red stripe on the front of the gun handle so thats also something to look for albeit minor.

I figured this would be the best place for this, but I have noticed differences in how the Snowtrooper's helmet is painted - specifically the orange wash:

#1

(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q93/Mattschlo/100_0085.jpg)
date stamp: 70891 - helmet has heavy wash)

#2
(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q93/Mattschlo/100_0086.jpg)
date stamp: 70931 - helmet is lighter, but still has heavier wash)

#3
(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q93/Mattschlo/100_0087.jpg)
(date stamp 70991 - helmet has very light wash)

I found a figure at TRU that was a Han Solo card, Han coin, and death star trooper in the bubble.  I did not buy it because the package was a little bent where it hangs on the peg hook.

I am not a variant or error collector, I just don't care about it, but I thought it was worth noting here.

It was legit, definitely not tampered with.

EDIT:  Wow, I see on page 1 someone else found it too.  Except the one I saw had a Han coin, not a DST coin.

Apparently the Comic Packs Wave 3 Luke/Mara set is shipping with a variation... Mara has a blue/purple or green lightsaber:

I hope i get the purple version when the time comes.

Which color is Mara supposed to have?
Title: Re: 30AC Variations and Errors
Post by: Jeff on August 15, 2007, 10:58 AM
I think it goes something like this:

Purple Saber - the one given to her by Palpatine during her time as the Emperor's Hand
Blue Saber - the one given to her by Luke during/after HttE (it's actually Anakin's saber that Luke lost at Cloud City)
Green Saber - she makes this one at some point in the NJO era... I think?

I'm not 100% sure on those details, but that's the general idea.

Does this pertain to SAGA Legends figure too? If so, I have a Battle Droid 2-pack first version with the OOM-9 type droid without the yellow dot on the chest. I have only found one like that so far, so I think it’s an error over a variation. I’ll work on pictures and would like to know if anyone else found one like that.

My CZ-4 coin says A New Hope on the back, while this one (http://www.sandtroopers.com/Spice/figureimages/TAC/RotJ/cz_4_coin_back.jpg) has Return Of The Jedi on the back. Sorry, no pictures of my coin.

Mine says ANH as well.

Looking at ST guide more closely, I think they just used the same image for the back of CZ-4's coin as they did for Umpass-stay.

Picked up a neat messed up obiwan/arc comic pack this morning.

Obiwan is wedge sideways and wont move.  His lightsaber is behind the inner bubble wedged between the bubble and the comic/card.

Anyone else notice a slight difference in height between the ROTS #41 clone and the clean sage legends version that just came out? im looking at mine right now and the clean one is a tad bit shorter. Not sure if all of them are like this or just mine though.
