Dunno,

But bill rogers is a knowledgeable collector. Must be some reason.

I've been watching that one as well as was going to bid on it.

Last night it was around Ã'£30 then this morning Ã'£50 :shock:

This is the first no COO Luke with a raised bar I have ever seen. All of the others have either the bar and China COO or they are just no COO without the bar.

Ã'£106 ?!!! :shock:

Bloody hell

I'm glad I'm not alone then! :lol:

:lol:

it's like another language.

I'm sure he will explain it

Thats the first No COO raised bar Luke farmboy I have seen as well. If must be as rare as hens teeth is Billyboy was prepared to pay that money :shock:

FXXK ME :shock:

what craig means by 'the bar' is that there is a solid small bar of plastic added to the leg where the coo should be. A few figures have this insted of the coo being removed or scrubbed out of the figure mold.
Does that help??? Probably not.

Note: COO means country of origin. e.g. hong kong etc....

i carnt believe some one will pay thet much just cause it has a different mark on his leg

I agree, confuses the hell out of me, but then, I'm not a loose figure collector so i probably don't get what the appeal is.

Do you have any reference pictures? That might help.

Its no different from a Palitoy logo over a kenner one on a MOC :wink:

or a loose vc over a cloth caped jawa

It's just less visual, doesn't take its rarity or value away, though I must admit I had no idea that a loose non-dt luke could go for so much :shock: :shock:

There's a few thing I like hardcore.

:wink:


I know about the stuff i collect, but that's about it.

Although the person selling it was sure it was a Palitoy version it may of been a Glasslite version - The raised bar without a COO looks similar.

Bluesnagman has a beat up one with a repro saber for $95: -
