This is a great Star Wars coin album for collectors! It comes with a great illustration spanning all six films of the Star Wars saga on one side and spaces for sixty coin slots (numbered one to sixty) on the other plus an additional twenty spaces for extra coins (such as convention exclusive coins or the saga episode coins). There is also a informative “Star Wars Time-Line” filled with interesting dates and facts.
As my album is nearly complete with almost all of the character coins, I question some of the character coins selected from number one to sixty. No Emperor Palatine or Jabba the Hut coin. Also no Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, Bib Fortuna, Admiral Ackbar, Gamorrean Guard, Royal Guard or Jar Jar Binks coins (on second thought, maybe no Jar Jar is OK). I know these coins were suppose to showcase select characters from the entire saga, early McQuarrie character concepts (which are very interesting) and characters from the Star wars expanded universe, but after seeing all of the characters selected from one to sixty I think some crucial characters were left out in favor of characters less popular or unknown.
Some of the coins chosen aren’t really individual character coins but are soldier coins like the Galactic Marine or Death Star Trooper. I have no problem with the soldier coins, but I think some of the character coins that are repetitive could have been eliminated to add more different characters. The repetitive character coins are of R2D2, Anakin, Luke & Vader. This is still a great coin collector album, but I’m just puzzled by some of the character coin choices.
Rating: 4 / 5
