I stopped collecting after Episode I, so I only have a handful of those figures.

I have a mistake on a Luke Skywalker in Imperial Guard Disguise card from Shadows of the EMpire, where the little cape piece isn't packaged with him. Now bear in mind, this was a while ago (1996?) I e-mailed Steve Sansweet about it and the letter was published in SW Insider, where I remember he was a total smartass. That ended any liking for that guy I could have.


Yeah, I dont really like that Sansweet guy. I had always thought he was just an avid collector and considered an expert as far as Star Wars collectibles goes due to his massive collection and all. But now that i know (i dont know if this was always the case) he works for lucas I kinda feel less awe towards his collection. I vaguely remember reading that letter, at least of the error, cant say i remember his response though.

That reminds me of a figure one of my friends that also collects had. He found a Luke in Stormtrooper, the one packaged on the green card, but the figure inside was a Han in Stormtrooper from the kellogg promotional offer.
