ULTIMATE GALACTIC HUNT 2007
2007 marks the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars. To commemorate this
anniversary Hasbro decided to give collectors a chase to collect
twelve special gold coins known as the Ultimate Galactic Hunt. The
twelve figures chosen for the gold coin pack-ins are nothing
special, just twelve repacked 30th Anniversary Collection figures
that sport a new golden logo and special gold coin.
The twelve figures and coins are as follows:
#02 Galactic Marine (Clone Trooper)
#04 R2-D2 (Astromech Droid)
#06 Mace Windu (Jedi Master)
#07 Airborne Trooper (Clone Trooper)
#09 Ralph McQuarrie Concept Stormtrooper
#11 Han Solo (Smuggler)
#12 Luke Skywalker (Yavin Ceremony)
#14 Biggs Darklighter (Rebel Pilot)
#15 Ralph McQuarrie Concept Boba Fett
#16 Darth Vader (Sith Lord)
#21 Ralph McQuarrie Concept Chewbacca
#24 Animation Debut: Boba Fett
Then there is a thirteenth coin not part of the 2007 Ultimate
Galactic Hunt but still in a golden color. This figure is the Dark
Trooper, which is the Fan’s Choice figure.
When all twelve or thirteen coins are collected depending on how you
look at it you might wonder how to display these coins in your
collection. You could put them in the 30th Anniversary Coin Album
but if you have collected all the other exclusive coins you will see
they will not fit in it unless you take out the silver versions of
these coins. I did not want to do that so I made my own display
board for all twelve UGH coins and the golden Dark Trooper coin.
Overall Hasbro are making collector’s go crazy in trying to collect
all twelve golden coins if that is your thing. Many collectors like
this sort of thing many do not. I personally do not like chase
figures but I can live with it. Hasbro did say that in 2008 there
will be NO Ultimate Galactic Hunt figures since collectors have
voiced their opinions from the last two years.
May the Force Be With You in all your Collecting Needs.
