Good work. I've recently acquired 10 of the first 12 in a childhood collection with Palitoy 12bk cards. So when I get time i'll also share images of the COO's.

Great news on your set as we can double check these coo's and see if they match up. Also big thanks to all the other members who have written in this thread, I thought this might be a useful thing to document and it means people can put together a first issue run of coo's if they want.

The other thing I noticed as well is that all the figures with lightsabers are on A backs and have the flat/chiseled tips to their sabers (the end before thin tip comes out). This is the way I've always found it on mocs as the B backs are rounded (although I'm sure there are chilled tip B back examples out there as well).

That is brilliant work.
I'm a bit of novice compared to some regarding variants, even though i started collecting variants in the mid 90s. However, i have forgotten more than i ever learned
So links like these are very appreciated and respected Ian.

It's nice to be able to give something back to the hobby and especially this forum that I've learned so much from over the years from it's various members.

All of your comments are very much appreciated

I have 20bk for Greedo / Powerdroid and Wally if you'd like me to share here...?

[Palifan]

Great pictures added Walkie and again the Vader Saber has the chiseled tip on an A back, nice. Feel free to add the 20 backs as well, I did have a Luke X-Wing and Power Droid in the childhood collection as well so I'll post them up.

Nice to see this growing
