"baggie" figures??

Post by **jedi_masters** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 8:54 pm

i think there was a topic about these on the old forum.

im collecting all figures on all card back, i no its gonna take ages, but hey, it keeps me going!!

ive decided i want a baggie figure of each as well, seeing as they are in another type of packaging. just wandered if every figure was released in a baggie and how much they usually retail for??? i dont really know much about them??

anybody got any info would be great!!!

I believe they are all available, presumably exluding the POTF line but there are some very rare ones. As far as I can remember the Death Star Droid is hard to find.

i think getting baggies is the best and cheapest way to get a mint loose collection ,that and getting battered carded figures
no matter how mint a loose figure is described 995 of the time you will find some mark on it

Even if the figure is in a baggie it doesn't mean it will be 'mint' though as the bag offers no protection. Also the production process then wasn't as good as it is with modern figures.

Personally I don't like baggies as you cannot really display them.

Yeah DSD & Power Droid are really expensive, so is the Jawa from what I remember. Its not a cheap or easy thing to collect mate

You can get the potf figures in baggies. When they stopped making the figures they put them all into baggies as job lots. I remember wooworths selling bags of about 12 figures for about 99p.Those packs are worth a small fortune today!! I really wish i had a time machine.

I wasn't 100% sure about Yak Face being released as a baggie.

I am sure someone posted a complete collection of baggie figures on the previous forum. I cant remember who though.

I think Martijn had a complete collection and possibly Billyboyrodgers.

1 more question, can these baggy figures be faked as in do people heat seal or celotape them in any plastic pouch??

whats the best way to prove they are original??

im prob sounding stupid but i really dont know a lot about them.

I've often wondered the same thing?

I use this guys collection to compare any I'm unsure of, but its hardly foolproof.

thanks spoons, true its not foolproof but it does help, you wouldnt think he would have them if they were fakes. i was just conserned mainly with the stamps on the bag, whether people can fake them??

I think Martijn had an almost complete collection of baggies but then sold them all when he couldn't find the last 2 or 3 he needed to fund another focus.
