Darth Vader Raised Bar COO Value? Meccano?

[Dark Sith Lord]

Hi guys.

So I won this off Ebay the other day for £9.62!

Just wondering if you could give me an idea of its value?

Is the Raised Bar COO a little scarcer? I read somewhere I think it was on here that Raised Bar is a Meccano variant?
Is this true?

Here are some pictures-

As always your advice expertise and insight are always appreciated

There is no tri/mecc Vader.

Thanks for the PM Mike so after consulting Lars fantastic guide it appears to be a Meccano

There is no tri/mecc Vader.

Hi James. Thanks for chiming in. You have lost me? Who mentioned a tri?

Do you think this a meccao variant?

To me the only Meccano variants are the few 'unique' figures that seemed to 'only' appear on the French trilogos. ie 'true trilogo Fett' http://swspaceclub.com/wbobafett/my-collection/meccano/

Wolff's picture shows the 'recognised' Meccano figures ( the Chewbacca should be the Macao Biker Scout ) I refer to these as the tri/Mecc. He also mentions " The lightgreen Wally isnt a french exclusive no matter what Coo it has. Same goes for the Vader raised bar. This is obviously an "invention" of those making money with it. To my knowledge both raised bar Vaders can be found all around europe."

Anybody that thinks a figure is unique to any Meccano cardbacks IMO is wrong.


The 'Clipper' Vader can be found with three different mould families. One is the made in Macau baggie which contains a raised bar no CoO. Notice the groove at the fingertips of the extended saber tube.

same as yours

Fasinacting stuff AJ. Thanks for posting. So I have a "clipper vader variant?

Thanks for clearing it up. These variants can be confusing!

If I had to 'label' it I would refer to it as raised bar no CoO ( Macau baggie )

Great! Thanks for all you help Mike and AJ.
