Awesome piece. Obviously the illustration is great but I also love the stark simplicity and bold striking colours of the goal achievers pack

wow seahawks :eek: great purchase

Thanks fellas! I'm still in shock that I got one.

I had a couple folks ask if I could upload a video of the filmstrip from the Pendulum Press Kit. There is one floating around online, but it's pretty low quality. Last night a light bulb went off in my head and figured out a way to do this. The film is over 40 years old and now has a red tint to it, but after getting them scanned into my computer, I was able to restore the color fairly well. Anyway, I started around 8:00 last night and finished about 2:00 am this morning (yes, once I get a wild hair it drives me nuts until I finish it). :)

Below is a before and after example frame once I figured out how to go about it. I scanned them in the highest resolution I could.

Finally after all of my rambling, here is a link to the finished video. Kick back and imagine yourself back in school as a kid watching this in class for the first time (and don't be disruptive or you'll be sent to the principle's office). Enjoy.

This is my first purchase for a few months. I'm.now 2 12backs away from my Palitoy 12 back run which I started in July when Ian sold me 2 so he is to blame :D He is a great guy and has helped.me hugely with some of the others. This is going to be my last hurrah in the hobby, so being 2 away is good news.

If anyone has Luke and Vader cards please let me know:)

Great Ben with cut bubble :) paid a bit for this but really happy.

Nice looking Ben, I found Ben the most difficult to find when I put my set together last year.

This is even better than the last link you posted Jason, amazing! You really went into the night to get this sorted and it was well worth the time and effort colour correcting and uploading.

It's a good start to the year :D

Thanks for the kind words, it was no problem at all. Glad you guys enjoy this type of stuff as much as I do. Nothing better than Star Wars nostalgia.

Thanks for this Jason and the effort involved with putting it together, I would have loved to have has this as an eight year old, really liked the voice over actors take on each character and how they portrayed each character and the artwork :D

Nice Ben _Lee_, that was the last one I needed for my run and the one I paid most for in the end.

Ian really helped me with my run too, one of the good guys for sure.

Decent re-seals are rarer than MOC's these days - and catching up in value! :lol:

This is awesome. The narration is a bit grating at times but the illustrations and the fact it's Star Wars are incredible. Thanks for all your hard work Jason.

That's awesome. The narrating gets a bit grating at times but the illustrations are sublime and the fact that it's a nostalgic Star Wars trip is awesome. Thanks for all your hard work Jason.

First two items of the new year turned up today.

Firstly a Star Wars Action Figure Case. My last one was falling apart as I was storing my figures in it. This one's a beaut so is going straight on display. :D

Secondly a SW12b Death Squad Commander. The bubble is lovely apart from looking a bit messy where it is attached to the card on the top right. Actually looks worse in the photo, much better in real life. He's dropped his weapon unfortunately but still love him. Of course it means it's no longer a 20/21 Back focus, just a first 20 focus on SW cards :lol:

Big fan of the vinyl cases and that DSC looks factory fresh. Nicely done!

Thanks guys. I agree. I love the artwork. I think it was Cornish Jedi that put up a limelight with four in and they looked epic.

I've totally ruined my other Star Wars one and the ESB one is not much better, because I store my figures in them, and constantly access them to check for upgraded figures. So this one is definitely for display only. And I'll try and pick up another ESB and a ROTJ in time. :D

Nothing exciting, but this morning I received my very reasonably priced AFA80 IG-88 (with the not so detailed sculpt to compliment my detailed sculpt) and an original Jann Tosh rifle to go with the loose figure heading my way.

Excitement over... move along...

Love these Vinyl cases and card inlays, they display so well.
Missed an ESB on on FB last month myself , quite disappointed!
Looking forward to seeing more added over time.

:lol:
Nice pair of IG88's

Thanks Stu. Seems to be more nice condition 12 backs about for a reasonable price than 20/21 backs at the moment :?:
