  • New blog post imported from «powerofthetoys» by Shawn Kemple: Lili Ledy Luke Jedi 13 years, 4 months ago

    This is a loose figure that has been on my want list for several years now, but I’ve been waiting for the right one to become available. Lili Ledy was the distributor of Star Wars figures in Mexico and not only that, they also produced them for their market and also a few items for […]

    • Are you going for other cape variants too??

      Congrats….it’s a beautiful piece you have there. And its the second best variant on that figure (Toptoys beats them all…sorry) ๐Ÿ˜€

      • 2nd best! ๐Ÿ™ Just kidding. Yes, I’d love to get a Top Toys someday too. As for the 2nd cape variant, for now I’m good with the one, but who knows in time. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • okay…it IS the best variant…..TT is only…nah…only because its rare….that’s all…..boring TT !!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

      I would suggest you to go for the other TWO capes also! Its brown and green and its very good for a focus like yours ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Cheers

    • Interesting stuff Shawn. The system seems to have changed a little more than i thought. I think Gus will be quite resistant to move to this system now i’ve seen it, resulting in having 2 systems being used for the time being. I think James & Mark really do need to get it documented online for it to be widely used.

      • I agree Tim. One easy way of understanding it imo is A-E are reserved for production coins and F-H are for preproduction. So basically we still have 5 categories for the basic 62 set with that in mind, but now 3 for the preproduction. It certainly makes it seem a little more complex, but it’s not too bad once you get the hang of it. It’ll be…[Read more]

    • Just a little issue….James & Mark’s system is a “class” system not category. It differentiates the 2 systems a bit more than just using letters & numbers.

    When it was announced that a new book on Power of the Force Coins was coming out during Celebration VI, I knew I had to get a copy. One thing that I was really impressed about with this book was the size. As of late, most collecting books go for the big coffee table hardcover […]

    While wandering the exhibitor hall at Celebration VI, I happened across the Mimoco booth. I always thought their flash drives were fun, but had never bought one. I found out that they had a fairly new Luke Jedi model and decided I had to finally get one. I bought the 8GB size and they were […]

  • There were some rumblings about a young fan at the show who had answered a tough trivia question about the Droids cartoon series that not many would know.

    During one of the panels we had this fan sit right in front of us and we got to talking. He literally blew us away with the type of knowledge he had on not only Star Wars, but other 80’s toy lines too.

    In fact here you can see him telling Chris about the origin of He-Man.

     

     

    After that, he wanted to know what I collected, so I told him about the mail aways. He then proceeded to name off several of the vintage mailers asking if I had them. He also shared the story in why the rocket firing feature on Boba Fett was cancelled.

     

    If this is the future of vintage collecting, then I think we have a bright future ahead. I hope he doesn’t mind me posting these videos and if you do please contact me and I’ll gladly remove them.
