Hi Grant, nice Originals Steins, never heard about them. Looks like we still can learn something new about star wars

2 word review of Stephane Faucourts new book:

Buy it!

Superb review, I wholeheartedly agree!

Forgot to mention: congratulations on purchasing your final Stein, there'll be no chinking of those together with a salubrious 'chin chin', I'll bet! :wink:

no 'chin-chin'. :?

Im going to be enjoying this book for years.

Picked up a robustly packaged parcel from the sorting office earlier containing this...



Last time I bought a Palitoy Luke Farmboy it was 1978 and it cost 99p. Funnily enough, it also came complete with a bubble that contained said figure inside :lol:

Fast forward 35 years and I find myself forking out £90 just for the card. Further evidence that the clamour for all things Palitoy at any price shows no signs of abating. 'Tis rather minty, though- despite the bubble rip. Another one ticked off the list for my FIrst 20 cardback run featuring the red and blue logo.

Thought I'd drop this wee fella in here, hopefully his English cousin can join him next month!

Always loved that card Martin - lovely

Bloody hell. I haven't looked in here for nearly 2 weeks and its exploded. Loads of awesome buys guys, especially loving the art work Jez, would love the falcon for my Star Wars wall.

My last purchase's for quite a while. I bought these around 4 weeks ago so before anybody says anything, I haven't gone back on Acrylic challenge, just taken ages to put these up.

All are from guys on here so thank you to all, you know who you are.

Nice one, Nick- I'll be rooting for you on October 24th.

Thanks Andy, I have to agree, it's one stunning card

Excellent additions, Chris- and keep at it with the Acrylic Challenge: best of British, and all that!

Been a little crook of late so it's taken a wee while a while for any new acquisitions for me, deciding to go for a focus certainly stems the flow but it's enjoyable all the same.

Here's my latest Yoda bits one grail down ( trilogo ) with another grail piece on it way.



MISB French Canadian Yoda Puppet,

GG Jumbo Yoda, the only modern piece I can ever see myself collecting. ( Birthday Pressie form my Wife :shock: )

79 Back Yoda, bubbles in a bad way with heavy crushing to the top but for $50 I'm not complaining.

Tri Logo Yoda, been on the hunt for one of these for ages and managed to pick it up from the same seller as the Puppet.

Here's the cake my wife made for me for my 40th, unbeknownst to me she added a Yoda theme using one of my loose puppets! :lol:

Blue dog that is one awesome cake!
