Nice set of Chirpas especially the Meccano and Clippers. Finally completed my Molded Face Luke Jedi today and ticked off another 2018 goal for me. I got him in two instalments - initially a regular Taiwan Luke and snap cape but with incorrectly paired blue HK saber. So I donated the blue saber to his brother, and finally picked up a Molded Face variant this week for a good price. He now comes with the correct grey v2 blaster and correct v4 saber. Thanks to Thomas Gill for confirming what variant snap cape and advice on blaster, and to James Kenneison for the verification process on the saber. He'll probably recall a great number of posts on a TIG thread with some crappy lores photos :lol:

I really love the look of the moulded face Luke Jedi compared to the painted one, the face features look nice and sharp and clean, and with the eye & eyebrow paint seems sharper painted onto the bare plastic.

And of course you never get the nose rub, just gotta watch out for paint loss on the hair. This one is pretty good though. He's one of my favourite variants along with my Hollow Cheeks TR :D

Ah of course yeah I forgot no nose rubs, took me a good while to get a painted one with no rubs on it, just that tiny bit of paint loss ruins the entire figure imo.

Congrats on the bargain
It's a great feeling winning after a nervous last few seconds hoping you don't get sniped

Here's a meagre offering from me in the shape of a tiny piece of blue sticky paper!

I've got an ongoing run of cardbacks which has been improved upon since I started collecting. Among it's 'rules' are to have at least one of every type of card sold in the UK. I've been after one of these forever. The Palitoy 41back with the blue label covering the usual 'with figures' error beside the Star Destroyer Playset.

It has been slotted in.

That's quite some cardback collection you've there. Very nice.

After waiting over a month and a half for an auction to ship me what I won I finally got these in today.
