Whats you Favorite cardback and why?......

Hi All

After looking through the new acquisitions thread it took me back to why i started collecting and what i really love about the figures and cardbacks. So I thought we could all post our favorite cardbacks and share why with everyone as I am sure we all have different reasons.

So if its a US or UK card, took you forever to save for it as a kid or even if it was a 49p special from woolies you picked up with your gran on a Saturday whilst our shopping post it up and lets take a look.

Three easy steps to keep the thread on track:-

1) Post a picture, it says a 1000 words
2) Say why you like it specifically
3) Do you own it or are you looking for it, let the rest of us know

I'll kick things off below,

Cheers
Andy

Ok, heres mine



2) Ben was the first figure I ever got, I remember being given him as I sat on the rug in the living room along with Vader (second figure). I couldnt open them fast enough for the most epic lightsabre battle you have ever seen!

3) Yes, this is my one along with another one I also couldnt resist buying :0)

Cheers

Power Droid.

I just feel the colours of this cardback contrast very well with everything else.

biker scout Tri logo

because its the only one i have 8)

i only have loose figs mainly but if i was to have a fave , it would be 12 back r2d2 .
because it was my first figure as a kid :wink:

Good call, the purples and blues are pretty cool. Power Droid is a much overlooked figure.

This is a great question- we did something simular a few months ago: http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11162


Mine changes all the time. I just picked up an AT-AT Driver- never fancied the cardback- but now i have one- its way better in the 'flesh'

My favourite cardback is my grail, the Lili Ledy Stormtrooper, the color is so different from the Kenner counterpart,
and the text and Ledy logo is just funky cool! 8)

Cheers Maulster, I hadnt seen that thread. I love looking at the cardbacks and had forgotten about the Luke Gunner pic...love it!

MODS

Anyway we can combine threads?

Cheers

my current favourite cardback is the trilogo carded imperial dignitary but only if it has the big yellow label on it, because the colours all combine to make it look sweet.

Pics chaps, would be great if you could post your fave cards

My fav as a kid was the ROTJ Gam Gaurd........just because the figure was hard to come by back in the day and i spent hours looking for it in various toy shops.

The colours always stood out for me, the green and blue really caught my eye as a kid

My Kenner faves are in the other thread, this is the Ledy Stormie:

That Stormie looks cool, is the picture the regular Stormie picture just cropped to the right instead of the left of the original picture?

The Gamorean Guard was the first figure I bought with my own money, I was 12 and bought it for my brother as a birthday prezzie, I think it was on special in woollies

It's the regular pic, just cropped.

Mine would be a Yoda Trilogo and SW Carded R5! I just LoVe that Cardback Photo 8)

I always loved the iconic picture of luke outside of the lars residence on the luke 12 back.
