Looking forward to the vehicles. All your videos are great, but for me, the vehicles are the very best toys Kenner made. They look so much like the ones in the movies and some were even made in the USA.
I really appreciate all the knowledge on obscure facts and pricing for these figures. I myself am starting a MOC collection and had no idea why Yakface was so expensive. In my eyes if you have the budget and space for it the coins are just as important as any accessories released with the figures. Having everything together from the original package is way more important then collecting every variant in my eyes.
I agree and I like your approach, Lordnaga. I’m glad you are collecting the coins as well and I think they are a great part of the history. Thanks for watching my friend
when my dad and i sold off my mom's entire vintage collection of all the vintage star wars stuff, she had the final 15 and they didn't have coins with them, the place we sold them to still took them but, for half the price we would have gotten them for if they were complete with the coins. so, i understand the frustration with getting them or not. have a safe and happy halloween and god bless to you and yours, my friend, my brother. love yas.
For me, I’m just collecting the coins for the 15. I’m ignoring Anakin and Yak Face. Also awesome that you technically own all the figures now, minus that elusive VC Jawa!
Great episode Joey, really has been great watching these weekly. In terms of the coins, I think you totally got to collect them all as you have more of them than you don't kinda thing. I think I'm making sense haha
My best wars to tell Lumat and Warok apart are: Lumat has one arm bent, Warok has the head slightly tilted and most importantly... Warok is the one I'm missing. Never before had I seen Warok's card art and I must say, it's probably the cutest after Wicket. About the coins, I think they are not necessary, although they are really pretty. Although if you really want to spend on those two coins, I would encourage you to collect at least the other common coins
Those are great tips to tell them apart Aaron! I only want to collect two more coins. Those being the anakin and yakface coins. I have the other 15, and don’t think I’ll ever collect ALL the 63 entire set. I’ll be happy with the 17 coins :). Thanks for watching my friend
I agree with the other comments saying get the coins for the figures that ONLY were released with a coin. IMO a Star Wars coin collection would be a whole other journey. Cheers 🍻
Another great episode that poses the question of what constitutes a complete collection? I try to collect the figures/playsets/vehicles I had growing up (with a few exceptions). I am a bit older than you and was not into collecting when the last 17 came out so I have no desire to purchase them. WHEW! Gonna save me a TON of money! (No desire currently*) Glad I came along for the journey and will try to keep it together next Sunday during your last episode.
Thanks Dan! Yes that last episode is going to be different, so I hope you enjoy it :). I was never into the power of the force either and went back and forth on whether or not to collect it. But ultimately it was a fun ride. Now the droids and Ewoks line I can pass (for now). I’ll see you on the next episode! Thanks for watching my friend
I never was big on the coins anyway, so I never worried about getting a loose one to go a long with my loose figure for display. Mostly because I had them anyway on my carded packaged figure set.👌😉 But you collect what you love brother.👊😎✊
Thanks Scott! Yea I’m happy with my collection now, but if I find a great deal with someone selling the yak and anakin coins I will for sure pick them up! Any other coins that aren’t in the last 17 I don’t care to collect them unless they are being given away haha! Thanks for watching my friend
Thanks Darth! I think I will only collect the last 17 coins, so two more to go. I’m not in a rush, so I’ll wait for those deals :). Thanks for watching my friend
Great run Joey, I've watched you complete virtually all of it buddy! BTW it makes me very happy I live in the UK so don't have the coin conundrum, we just didn't see those POTF cards here as kids 😂 Looking forward to the elusive VCJ figure episode next!!
Thanks Kev!!! Yes I’m happy where my collection is and if I get the anakin and yak coin it will be because they fall in my lap with great prices I can’t say no to! Thanks for watching my friend I’ll see you on the next episode
Heya Joey! Power of the Force Coined Figures available in the UK too! In London in Particular towards the end of the line. I have at least four, five or six Coined Figures. Off the top of my head, Popup Lightsaber R2, Luke Combat Poncho, EV-9D9, Imperial Dignitary, A-Wing Pilot. But they were sold in the UK too. I Remember thinking to myself about having to pay more because of a coin. And then everything hit the Basement Baskets! Best
Heya Joey! I remember when the Tri Logo Cards first hit the pegs in the UK. I thought that they were weird and ugly? They just look so random. I was so enamoured of the original Card Backs. They encapsulated everything that is the Star Wars Aesthetic. Clean and to the point. You didn’t need to see anything else. The Power of the Force Card Backs were a Return to Form. They were just good looking and exciting!
When I competed my set of loose figures, I decided to get the coils that came with the last 17 (PORF) figures - it was a lot less expensive then (like 15 years ago) than it is now :-)
Hey Barry! Heck yes it’s less expensive than now!!!! That’s great you got them back then. I just need two more for the last 17 coins and then I’ll stop :). Thanks for watching my friend
Alright Joey, you asked us at least twice in the video if it was necessary to get the last two coins to complete the loose run - but you also answered your own question and know that yes, it is 100% necessary to have those coins to complete your loose run. You're stuck now buddy. 😂 So while you might have all the figures as of episode 100 (which by the way, I was a bit surprised you let the cat out of the bag about getting your VC Jawa in this episode about it, but numerically it makes sense so I'll let it slide), you'll definitely need those last two pieces of aluminum IMO. 😉. I counted in my collection and have 24 loose coins & 25 coins with their MOCs, but no Anakin or Yak Face either. Looks like those were even elusive way back when I was deep into my purchasing run in the late 90's/early 00's. But I'd love to have a full set of all 63 coins in their display. How cool would that be? One can dream. I've got a bunch of other things I could comment on, but I think I'll leave those for episode 100 as they might be even more relevant in that comment section. Until then, I'm just happy to be part of the community and really have been enjoying every episode that you've put out. Looking forward to your next release already...
Thanks Mopar :). It’s no secret that I have to collect the VCJ for the journey to be over, it’s been on my list from the beginning. Those little discs however… man I think those are going to be harder to get than anything. The anakin disc is super easy to forage. Thanks for watching my friend
@@thepadawancollectorofficial True. And yeah, unfortunately forged coins are something we really have to be leary of in the community. I'll be looking forward to when you pick up the coin(s) & details on how to spot forgeries. Good luck!
Awesome Joey. Can’t believe it’s episode 101 already! I’ve never been that interested in the coins. Coming from the UK we only had tri logo cards. I only own one now which is a carded potf B Wing Pilot. In a way I’m pleased because I could never afford to get them all lol. Keep it up dude and can’t wait for the next episode 🤘(awesome Warok btw) 😊
Hey XDD! Yea that’s why I’m not stressing about collecting ALL the coins since they weren’t universally released with them. I think after I get the anakin and yak coin I’ll be fine with them :). Thanks for watching my friend!
Guess it really depends on the collectors. Personally, I was never a fan of the coins and originally opted not to go back and collect them. I finally caved, but set a strict budget per coin. The prices are all over the map and fluctuate like crazy, also adding to the insanity. Wait long enough and you’ll usually find the price point you want. Also: Paying for Anakin’s coin seemed unnecessary - virtually everyone I knew ordered the mail-away Anakin, and he didn’t come with a coin. That seems like ‘original state’ to me. Yak Face is just a pain all around.
Hey Rck! I agree that it depends on the collector, and after I get the anakin and yak coins, my coin collection will be complete. But I have to find them way under the market value. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I had a few POTF figures as a kid but personally I don't feel I need the coins. I have them for Amanaman and Royal Guard which I graded but I just don't have the itch to go getting coins, just figures. And I'm more of a Luke focus collector too. Great video!
Hey One Time! Yea I don’t have an itch to collect them all, but would love to finish my coin run for the last 17. All I need is the yak and anakin coins, so maybe that will be the last pieces for the case :). Thanks for watching my friend
Completing the coins 🪙 is very tough! I only have a few on card and a couple loose! My Yak Face is on Trilogo so no coin 🪙 and my Anakin Skywalkers are all Trilogo! Warok I have on both cards! I will drop a short for you in a jiffy! Cool video and keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks BOE!!! I will be satisfied with the last 15 coins and that’s it. I’ve had problems verifying real ones when I see them though. At least for yak face and anakin coins. Those are reproduced so much these days. I’ll look out for the short! Thanks my friend!
I'd definitely finish up the POTF figures with coins, but I'd go after ALL the coins, not to throw you in a deeper hole. :) Me personally, I'd want them all, but I'd go after coins that would commemorate certain characters, or figures in some way. This is strange to me, I've seen Anakin coins on the net for $30. Your figures look great. :) I've been wanting to display certain figs with a one piece coin and stand combo. Thanks for the info on the coins, I didn't know enough about them. I love the POTF coins. :) Thanks for the video! :)
Thanks T! Yea the anakin coins that are 30 bucks you have to make sure those aren’t reproduction, that is, if you are trying to get the authentic coins. If you don’t mind getting a knock off, then that’s no problem, but just don’t try to resell them and pass them off as the real deal. Thanks for watching my friend
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I totally agree, I definitely wouldn't try to pass the repros off as authentic. I'd want the real Kenner coins myself, is there way to tell in pictures what are fakes? Thanks again
I haven’t seen any coins in the wild where I look yet but I’m not sure I want them for the last 17 or all that were released or at all. Seems like a run as hard as the last 17 with some of them priced in the same range. We will see where the journey leads tho and if the deal is right you never know. Great video.
Hey cool! Yea I think I’m just going to get the last 17 coins and that’s it. I have. I desire to the any other ones unless I get them for a crazy deal.
Hey Joey, your Show is a fixed schedule... I'm lucky to watch the whole journey week by week. A Thousand Dollar for a Alu Couin is way to hard in my Opinion... Sooo ceep collecting...
Nice episode (4th episode I've watched). I only bought the figures before, but started going for coins during Covid period, which wasn't the smartest time as that's when prices sky-rocketed. Now I would like to get all the figures with their coins as that's preferable to me, but I need 10 more and they are mostly Level 5 coins so seems unlikely in near-term. Also don't have the same type figure case you do, but I do have the coin case/holder you use and I display my loose with their coins where I can (don't always fit on the spaces). To each their own. I notice you have some figures with the coin in your case...how did you get the coin to stay on same level as figure? Do you have a long stand wedged in there?
Hey Rob! Yes I’m only getting the last 17 coins, but congratulations on only being 10 away! That’s no small feat to have gotten this far! Wow! Yes I have the coin and figure on an extended plank. And I have the coin resting on a coin holder acrylic. Thanks for watching multiple episodes. I hope you are enjoying them :)
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I am enjoying, thanks for explaining (quick turnaround to). Never realized finishing coin collection was going to be so challenging when I started it, but oh well. I'll get around to watching more of your episodes in future.... never subscribed to a channel on TH-cam before, so you must be doing something right.
I consider the coins as a separate thing. Since the POTF figures didn’t have coins outside the US. and most of the coins only available as a mail away, I don’t count them. That said, I am still collecting the coins, just with less aggressiveness than the figures.
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I am trying for them all, but in no rush. I go to trade shows a few times a year and pick up a couple each year. Recently got Hoth Han and Snowtrooper. I still need like 20 more coins.
I'm way ahead of you on vehicles & the playsets. I'm missing parts on certain ones no biggie. The parts themselves sometimes can cost more than The playsets & vehicles. I'm waiting patiencely on parts to find them. Good luck hunting the vehicles and playsets. They can get really expensive. Shawn
Hi, I was just watching this video because I decided to collect the last 17 coins. I wasn't going to, but i won an Anakin coin in an auction. Now comes the fun part of trying to get them. Did you get the yak face coin?
WTF is going on with TH-cam and their notifications. I'm supposed to get a notification whenever you post something and I haven't gotten any in a tsunami of weeks...to the point that I thought you stopped posting videos. I just come across this one and I was like: WTF!...🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Anyway, as always, awesome video...🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁
CP that’s madness! Sometime TH-cam unsubscribes me from channels I follow, so checked that you are subscribed and hit that notification bell! Thanks for coming back and watching CP!
I think if you’re going to get the Anakin & yak face coins you should collect all the coins! But if it were me I’d probably just leave the collection as is with out those two coins just because of the price… but that’s just me😅
Hey SSW! I think you are right. I am fine without them in my collection. If I find them for great deals, I wil get them. For instance, I saw a coin for 350 and passed on it. I should have considered that one. But then I saw one for 1200 graded at 85. Those prices I am going to stay away from like the plague, when I can buy a coin at 350 that is already an 85, then grade it for 35 bucks, then boom it’s worth about 800 automatically. 1200 was too high and that’s a little over retail at the moment. Sorry for the rant, but I was thinking out loud. Thanks for watching my friend
I think if the figure came with a coin, you have to get it. Just like any other accessory. Maybe do a future run of getting all the coins? Just a thought
Thanks Tim! Yea all I need are two more coins to complete the “last 17” coins. So maybe I’ll just stick with those and that’s it. :). Thanks for watching my friend
Interesting subject. For me, I feel that if you are a completist, you can stick with a 1st issue philosophy and only get the coins of the last 17 (technically less but we won’t go there). Especially if you don’t have a connection to the coins themselves. I know collectors who love the coins because those were the first figures they collected. So of course there is an understandable attachment. I know there is a segment that feels you need all the coins to be a “real” completist but I disagree. Most 1st run figures never had them. So a complete figure wouldn’t have the coin. Just my 2 cents. Congratulations on your journey. You have come a long way.
I'm 11 figures from completing my collection. I personally don't want the coins. I just want the figures and their accessories. To each their own though.
Hey Darth! Yes I think it’s perfectly ok NOT to get the coins as they weren’t carded with the tri-logo figures, so you are right, it’s the collectors preference. I am going to stop at the last 17 coins. Thanks for watching my friend
Hey Steed, that’s completely valid. I am fine with my collection as it is, BUT if I find great deals on one or both of those coins… I’ll def be getting them :). Thanks for watching my friend
I’m close :). I am closing a deal now that will keep the empire out of there forever AND one that may give me all the coins. Thanks for watching Roger!
Lke most, l only ever got the figures and coins from the first release run cards. If I could find coins for cheap I would pick them up. So while I do have all the coins for the final 15, I only have a few for the rest. No anakin or yakface. Was never really impressed with them. Good luck on your last figure. I would hate to have to get a VC jawa in this day and age with all the fakes out there. Glad I got my 3, one still in the bubble, over 20 years ago. Today I would only buy one graded, and I hate graded figures, and only from a trusted source. Good luck.
you seem to be on the road to collect the entire collection so for you, it may be necessary, so yes you should at least start with the 17. Anakin and lumat and yakface of course are pricey paploo was difficult to get also but you can check that one off your list
I don't think the coins are necessary. They are cool to be sure, but not worth paying dearly for. The only coins I have are for a few figures that were based on Ralph McQuarrie designs. I don't have any POTF coins.
Since they were not only released with the coins I would not worry about it. But saying that my Anakin came with coin. When I was younger. Would you like me to send you something for your Asoka collection?
Hey Glynn! I agree and am ok with my collection as is, but I’ll still be on the hunt for those last two coins and if I find em at great prices, score! Thanks for the Ahsoka offer :).

Hey Rob! Yes I’m only getting the last 17 coins, but congratulations on only being 10 away! That’s no small feat to have gotten this far! Wow! Yes I have the coin and figure on an extended plank. And I have the coin resting on a coin holder acrylic. Thanks for watching multiple episodes. I hope you are enjoying them :)
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I am enjoying, thanks for explaining (quick turnaround to). Never realized finishing coin collection was going to be so challenging when I started it, but oh well. I'll get around to watching more of your episodes in future.... never subscribed to a channel on TH-cam before, so you must be doing something right.
I consider the coins as a separate thing. Since the POTF figures didn’t have coins outside the US. and most of the coins only available as a mail away, I don’t count them. That said, I am still collecting the coins, just with less aggressiveness than the figures.
Hey Ransome! I like your approach to the coins :). Are you collecting them all or certain ones? Thanks for watching!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I am trying for them all, but in no rush. I go to trade shows a few times a year and pick up a couple each year. Recently got Hoth Han and Snowtrooper. I still need like 20 more coins.
I'm way ahead of you on vehicles & the playsets. I'm missing parts on certain ones no biggie. The parts themselves sometimes can cost more than The playsets & vehicles. I'm waiting patiencely on parts to find them. Good luck hunting the vehicles and playsets. They can get really expensive. Shawn
Hey Shawn! Yea I only have a couple of playsets so I’m way behind. Those will be fun to collect though :). Thanks for watching my friend!
Hi, I was just watching this video because I decided to collect the last 17 coins. I wasn't going to, but i won an Anakin coin in an auction. Now comes the fun part of trying to get them. Did you get the yak face coin?
No I havent got the yak coin yet! Hunting, and hoping to get one at the ICCC this year
Question: do you not consider the Probot and Wampa action figures?
I do 🙌🏼. I did a whole video on it. I even think the dewback is an action figure
Excellent! I’ll watch it!
WTF is going on with TH-cam and their notifications. I'm supposed to get a notification whenever you post something and I haven't gotten any in a tsunami of weeks...to the point that I thought you stopped posting videos. I just come across this one and I was like: WTF!...🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Anyway, as always, awesome video...🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁
CP that’s madness! Sometime TH-cam unsubscribes me from channels I follow, so checked that you are subscribed and hit that notification bell! Thanks for coming back and watching CP!
Yes! Now it's vehicles & playsets.
Yes sir!!!!
Great video Joey !
Thanks Pascal! And thanks for watching my friend
I think if you’re going to get the Anakin & yak face coins you should collect all the coins! But if it were me I’d probably just leave the collection as is with out those two coins just because of the price… but that’s just me😅
Hey SSW! I think you are right. I am fine without them in my collection. If I find them for great deals, I wil get them. For instance, I saw a coin for 350 and passed on it. I should have considered that one. But then I saw one for 1200 graded at 85. Those prices I am going to stay away from like the plague, when I can buy a coin at 350 that is already an 85, then grade it for 35 bucks, then boom it’s worth about 800 automatically. 1200 was too high and that’s a little over retail at the moment. Sorry for the rant, but I was thinking out loud. Thanks for watching my friend
I think if the figure came with a coin, you have to get it. Just like any other accessory. Maybe do a future run of getting all the coins? Just a thought
Thanks Tim! Yea all I need are two more coins to complete the “last 17” coins. So maybe I’ll just stick with those and that’s it. :). Thanks for watching my friend
I’d be patient. Ya don’t need the coins as they were available without them, but if you see a coin for a crazy deal -then grab it.
I agree with you! I’m in no rush to get them, so I’m going to really wait until I find a deal I can’t pass up.
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I been doing that with all the coins. I only grab them when there is a killer deal
Yes of course you need that coin. that's the situation i'm in . If it was packaged with it then its an accessory
I have to agree with you Robert. Thanks for the advice and thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
Interesting subject. For me, I feel that if you are a completist, you can stick with a 1st issue philosophy and only get the coins of the last 17 (technically less but we won’t go there). Especially if you don’t have a connection to the coins themselves. I know collectors who love the coins because those were the first figures they collected. So of course there is an understandable attachment. I know there is a segment that feels you need all the coins to be a “real” completist but I disagree. Most 1st run figures never had them. So a complete figure wouldn’t have the coin. Just my 2 cents. Congratulations on your journey. You have come a long way.
Thanks Zarnista! I agree with you and will hunt for those last two coins only. Thanks for watching my friend
As the Emperor once said - DO IT !!
Haha thanks Paul! I’ll do it!!!
Good content as always.
Thanks Punisher! Thanks for watching my friend
Yes I think you should get those last coins 💪😎
Hey Deano! I’m trying :). The prices are coming down so that’s good 👍🏼
Forget the coins 😂😂 I always thought they were Naff 😅
😂😂😂😂 fair enough! Thanks for watching Ashley!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial Joey I thought I might trip you up on the word Naff … it’s a British think … did you need to google it ?
I'm 11 figures from completing my collection. I personally don't want the coins. I just want the figures and their accessories. To each their own though.
Hey Darth! Yes I think it’s perfectly ok NOT to get the coins as they weren’t carded with the tri-logo figures, so you are right, it’s the collectors preference. I am going to stop at the last 17 coins. Thanks for watching my friend
Me personally , I would''t do the coins that cost that much, but that's me bro
Hey Steed, that’s completely valid. I am fine with my collection as it is, BUT if I find great deals on one or both of those coins… I’ll def be getting them :). Thanks for watching my friend
Great episode , gonna have to get all the coins LOL
I’m close :). I am closing a deal now that will keep the empire out of there forever AND one that may give me all the coins. Thanks for watching Roger!
I have AMANAMAN / HAN SOLO / WAROK / STORMTROOPER / BARADA / VADER and ... I do have a YAK FACE coin.
Hey Hunter! The fact that you have a yak face coin is amazing! Those are so hard to find at reasonable prices today
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I got the YAK one with other 5 in a low price. I just try to have a ''pocker face'' and not jump up and down as a 5yo!!
Lke most, l only ever got the figures and coins from the first release run cards. If I could find coins for cheap I would pick them up. So while I do have all the coins for the final 15, I only have a few for the rest. No anakin or yakface. Was never really impressed with them. Good luck on your last figure. I would hate to have to get a VC jawa in this day and age with all the fakes out there. Glad I got my 3, one still in the bubble, over 20 years ago. Today I would only buy one graded, and I hate graded figures, and only from a trusted source. Good luck.
Thanks Andrew! I agree with all your points! Thanks for watching my friend
you seem to be on the road to collect the entire collection so for you, it may be necessary, so yes you should at least start with the 17. Anakin and lumat and yakface of course are pricey
paploo was difficult to get also but you can check that one off your list
I think you are right peak. I’ll finish off collecting the last 17 coins at least :). Thanks for watching my friend
I have been trying to complete my coin collection for years. I'm about 8 short. But the prices are just too high.
Hey TWR! That’s impressive you only have 8 more to go, what a feat! Keep looking for those deals, they’re out there! Thanks for watching my friend
@@thepadawancollectorofficial Impressive job with your channel!Great to see it take off. 👍 And congrats on finishing your run.
I am collecting all the coins because I feel it makes them complete
Hey Kris! That’s awesome :). How many coins do you need to have the set? Thanks for watching my friend
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I have 13 of the 17 plus a stormtrooper coin a 3po coin and some droids coins
I don't think the coins are necessary. They are cool to be sure, but not worth paying dearly for. The only coins I have are for a few figures that were based on Ralph McQuarrie designs. I don't have any POTF coins.
I agree that the entire set isnt worth the trouble OR money. I am only collecting the POTF run. Thanks for watching John!
@@thepadawancollectorofficial You bet! I really enjoy these videos. Sometimes, I even learn something new which is always fun.
The coins are apart of it so once the figures are all collected the coins start calling out to you
They certainly do Bryn!!! Thanks for watching my friend
there is actually a great solution on how to dodge the amanaman coin :3 sell the weapon and tell everyone it is a Trilogo yak face 😂
That’s a great point Dario! You can actually grade a yak face without a staff! Thanks for watching my friend
Are the fake coins easy to identify?
They are hard as heck to identify! People are getting really good at those. That’s what makes this super hard. Thanks for watching Michael
Since they were not only released with the coins I would not worry about it. But saying that my Anakin came with coin. When I was younger.
Would you like me to send you something for your Asoka collection?
Hey Glynn! I agree and am ok with my collection as is, but I’ll still be on the hunt for those last two coins and if I find em at great prices, score! Thanks for the Ahsoka offer :).
@@thepadawancollectorofficial do you have a postal address
Im going to melt a bunch down to make a helmet to take to ICCC
I would love to see that!
I have both the Yak face and Anakin Skywalker coins. Message me back.
Hey Booz! Join my FB group or follow me on Instagram and DM pics of the coins and what you are selling them for?
Question. When you reveal/video the total $$ on the entire collection will you let your wife watch the video? 🤣
She was there when I tallied! Lol the look on her face 😂😳
