Trilogo Obi-Wan/Luke Jedi Miscard

This is an item that I’ve wanted for a long time now. I first found out about it on The Star Wars Collectors archive several years ago and am extremely happy to finally have it in my collection. This is a Luke Jed figure packaged on an Obi-Wan Kenobi Trilogo card. Some of these miscards are fairly common, but this is the only 2nd one that I’ve seen of this particular one. The one I own now, I believe is the same one, shown the archive that I already mentioned. The other thing that makes this unique, is the fact that it was left packaged in its baggie from the factory and then placed on the card. The only reason I can think of behind this is that it was the easiest way to keep all of Luke’s accessories bundled with him, so they could package them faster.

Enough exist, of some of these miscards, that they were most likely done intentionally at the factory and were not a mistake. It’d be interesting to find out what happened. The logical theory would be they ran out of some cardbacks and just tried to pair them up with similar characters. The other interesting thing behind these is that they all use the same bubble as well. Unfortunately, they are very fragile and most of them do have cracks and bubble damage like mine does. These were also all thought to have been produced from France, so that they are country specific is another thing.

For anyone that would like to learn a bit more on these in general, Joe_o, at trilogo.info has written a great article/gallery of these miscards and also talks about the bubble at the bottom of the Bubble Types & Variations page.

Recent Additions

I just realized it had been since I’d posted anything new that I’ve added to the collection. I’ve managed to find a few more pieces that I’ve been wanting for a long time.

First, I found both ESB Red & Yellow versions of the Force Lightsaber, bring my total up to 5 of these toys. I might casually fill up the display box, but the only variation left that I’m actually hunting for is the “transition” version. Which is a ESB saber with a ROTJ sticker on the hilt.

The next items I was able to recently acquire, are the last of the production Droids coins I needed to complete that set. I’ve been putting this off for a few years now and glad to finally have them. The first was Boba Fett, and the 2nd is the alternate C-3PO coin which is the same as the POTF coin, but in gold.

Finally, another coin purchase, was a silver Mungo Baobab coin. This coin was part of the planned 2nd series of Droids figures, that were never produced. The coin is silver, but had the figure actually been released, it would have been gold like the previous two I mentioned.

Toltoys and 65C Blue Saber Lukes

Here’s two new Luke additions that I was fortunate to add. The first has been on my want list for awhile which is a Australian Toltoys Luke Jedi with blue lightsaber. It features the offer for the Nien Nunb mail in offer and one interesting thing of note is that it still mentioned Revenge of the Jedi on the offer. These were later covered up with a sticker fixing the name change and then ever further on were printed with the correct title.

The next addition is a 65C Blue Saber Luke. The 65C card has the Emperor offer on the lower corner and this is the last U.S. card that you can find the blue saber Luke.
