| Thank you sir for clearing up both of those questions I had. If you prefer to edit your post regarding the HFE mark be my guest as you said people going crazy with a sharpie would not be a good thing. |

For my latest addition I am especially excited to have acquired this bad boy(girl)!! Sorry for the amount of pics...I was excited.
An episode 1 TC-14 HARDCOPY!!
It goes nicely with my tc-14 firstshot (unpainted and lacking copyrights)
And this little fella looks pretty neat in there with the 2 its a galactic heroes prototype c3p0 in silver (one peghole too!!)
and with the production figure
hardcopy tray compared to production tray
I would like to ask though. Is this hardcopy the very one pictured in the archive or does wayne still own his? Also my tc14 first shot looks remarkable similar to the one pictured in the archive and has the same features (no copyrights, no accessories, silver paint appears to bubble in a few places so possibly applied by hand) I ask as I am very interested in the history/lineage of these pieces.
Edit: I found out that this is the hardcopy that was once owned by Wayne. 
Now to just track down a first shot serving tray to complete my firstshot figure. |

Here we have a Tusken Raider desert sniper figure mocked up in an OTC Bubble to a 2004 Saga Tanus Spijek card with no datestamp and a 2003 Saga Leia insert. I am not sure if there are any differences to the production figure but will try to dig mine out to compare.
Here's a saga endor rebel soldier with beard mocked up to a captain typho cardback and insert. The card has no datestamp, there is a piece of tape over the blaster fire and another over the tip of the blaster instead of the production one long piece of tape. The figure lacks a rubberband around his hand to hold it on the gun and it looks like there might be some paint differences.

Big Update with lots of pics!!
Full set of Wave 2 salesman samples/mockups
First we have a Concept Fett sample missing a coin and also missing his backpack. His chest door appears to be glued shut. There is no catalog insert and also no datestamp. There are inner bubble differences from the production version as well.
Next is a Concept Fett sample with what appears to be a production obiwan coin. There is no catalog insert and has a very early datestamp. There are inner bubble differences from the production version as well as differences from the sample above.
Here is a Han solo sample missing a coin. There is no catalog insert and also no datestamp.
Here is a Han solo sample with protoype Mace Windu coin. There is no catalog insert and very early datestamp.
Here is a Luke Yavin sample with protoype Darth Vader coin. The figure also has eyebrows painted on his face unlike the production version. There is no catalog insert and very early datestamp.
Here is a Luke Yavin sample with protoype Concept Trooper coin. The coin says "Concept" instead of "McQuarrie Concept". There is no catalog insert and very early datestamp.
Here is a Biggs Darklighter sample with protoype Concept Trooper coin. The coin says "Concept" instead of "McQuarrie Concept". There is no catalog insert and very early datestamp.
Here is a Rebel Honor Guard sample with protoype Mace Windu coin. The inner bubble has his left arm pointed upward instead of down like the production version. There is no catalog insert and very early datestamp.
Finishing up the wave is the Deathstar trooper sample with protoype Obi Wan coin. There is no catalog insert and very early datestamp.

McChewy mockup missing coin, no catalog insert, different inner bubble, and light silver gun compared to production's dark silver/brown gun, also large gun is not taped, datestamp is 6 451 (i'm guessing it shoulda been 63451 but the 3 was left out lol)
with my fett mockup
Also got my first kenner standard figure a luke gunnerstation
the front of the card is dated 3/12/98 and says "EARLY LIGHT" under the date. The back of the card reads "RE-SET STD" then under that it reads "1 CORRECT HIGHLIGHT ON EYES" I've yet to compare it to my production gunnerstation. It's on a .00 card and has a warning sticker on the front. |

Thanks buddy and thanks for connecting the dots for me on that piece (its my favorite )
Lots of new acquisitions so please bare with me with all the pics. Let dive on in:
First off is a hardcopy head for the 1995 potf2 leia aka monkey face leia with COA
Next is a Stormtrooper from the capture of the tantive 4 battlepack. The original pictures showed dirty/sandy stormtroopers like this one packaged but when it was released they were packaged without the dirty paint applications.
Here is a Miiyoom Onith mocked up on a canadian Ultimate galactic hunt cardback. It has the wave 1 figures pictured on the back of the card and an odd datestamp ending in 8 It has what I believe to be a ptototype sticker in the bottom right with an IV on it but no other writing. This figure is a wave 4 figure and not even supposed to a UGH figure. It also is lacking the big caution sticker on the back of the card.
Next is an R2-D2 on a canadian UGH cardback with gold ugh coin. This one MIGHT be a production figure but it has the same odd datestamp and is lacking the caution sticker on the back of the card and the back also shows the wave 1 figures.
Here is an Airborne trooper on a canadian UGH cardback with silver non UGH coin. It has this same odd datestamp and is also lacking the caution sticker on the back of the card BUT does have sticker residue. The back of the card shows wave 5 and 6 figures too which is odd.
This is a saga legends wave 2 fett sample. This fett lacks the rubberband to hold the figures weapon to his hand. It is also on a very early datestamp and has a different inner bubble than production. Most notable is the figures feet lack copyrights and dates but has pegholes.(more pics coming soon)
Wave 5 pre-cyborg grevious (not scheduled for release until september)I think its hand painted and sports only one peghole. Missing his gun but has his sword. we'll see what other differences there are when the production figure comes out.
Wave 4 luke jedi (not scheduled for release until august)
Again I believe he is handpainted and the knee joints I believe are glued as they wont move and I dont want to break them. Maybe more differences when the production figure arrives
Wave 3 Mcquarrie chewbacca came with unpainted weapons. Large gun in light silver and small gun in dark black
Bantha battlepack tusken raider i believe this figure is partially unpainted and lacks skirt and robe.
The luke looks much whiter than production and have other paint differences and a different lightsaber was included (the hilt for his belt was left out but may be coming later). The vader has the 4 bottom buttons on his chest unpainted and the arms look to have blcak paint just globbed on. The helmet is also more shiny than my production one.
Here's the above luke's saber hilt, it is the wrong paint deco and has the painting of a darth vader saber hilt. These were changed before the figure made it to production but early pictures showed this darth vader deco hilt.
kenner standard sams club maul/battledroid 2pack
Weequay skiff guard sample with square bubble and grey weapons instead of the production gold. Also lots of paint differences. No datestamp and non taped weapons
Grand Moff Tarkin sample with square bubble and no datestamp on card
Ponda Baba sample with square bubble no datestamp on card grey boots instead of black, grey eyes instead of black and a grey beard and no tape on weapons.

Hi Anthony,
I love the 30AC Canada cards! I know you have a couple of production Canadian 30AC cards, and those fit in nicely.
