Latest Acquisitions

OMG the threads been ramping along at pace 8) that unart Han's going to struggle holding his pistol eh, han stumpy :lol:

Finally got another MP for the focus, paid a small fortune for it from that Sellersville auction & am really chuffed to have another pack, but the condition of the baggies leave a lot to be desired, none of the damage had been disclosed on the auction (badly split vader baggie/multiple splits & both troopers discoloured) but its getting really tough to get MP's :|

Also managed to pick up a baggie I've never seen before with this ESB-a lobot I'm pretty chuffed about -

The Falcon, box and instructions look perfect - well done mate

Some amazing pick ups guys.
Was really lucky to see Laurence's 3PO case of baggies in person the other day. An amazing find :shock:

I picked up a new addition to my loose run the other day -


He's not as nice as his Euro brother (usual paint rubs & discolouration) but it's nice to have him in the collection.
Got a little something on its way for my Pop Up R2 focus, unfortunately not the TriLogo that sold last night, but that can wait.

Thanks Colin, was unsure wether to keep it as I only wanted to collect stuff I could display, but now I've got it don't think I could part with it

Number 11 of my 12 backs arrived via Iain and the RS forum. My first purchase from it. The seller would have posted to me, but I didn't want the uncertainty of import taxes, so asked Iain to receive it for me. Thanks again. It's an overall 75, due I assume to the tear on the bottom right which gave the card a 70.

Now starts the long wait for a Luke I can afford.

This is why I hate grading. It feels like you are apologising and making excuses because the moc only got a 75.

Ignore the numbers, tear or no tear that's a very nice moc. I always think the chewy photo looks best on the 12 back card. Nice pickup.

A few of my new PBP additions from the past couple of months...



PBP - Cloud Car Pilot w/c 'Exclusive PBP' Light Grey Accessories
PBP - Walrusman
PBP - Luke X-Wing Pilot 'Spanish exclusive' with white/pink face
PBP - Han Solo

Sorry it came across like that. Whoops, another apology lol. It is a great piece, and it was about 20-25% lower than other 75 graded ones that have sold on eBay, and significantly less than all the 80 grade I've seen. One of the harder 12 backs to get for a decent price.

Walkie, stunning photography on those loose figures. I am an amateur photographer, and don't take anywhere near as much effort as some of you clearly do. I just use natural light, but seeing how much better vintage stuff looks well lit, I need to get myself a few bits of kit, like a light box.

I've just got a package through from Vectis and it's 4 f''king feet high by 5 feet wide. I bought a display amongst other. **** it's big, I don't know where to start. Shame I don't have any storage space really. Looking forward to getting stuck in tomorrow to it to see what's in there.

Three more lovely trilogos for the collection Big thanks to Iain once again for helping me land two of them.

The light is nicely even and diffused. Is that just naturally how the light comes through the windows?

Lovely Tri TFP Edd was that the one for sale on Ebay recently?

Just back from holiday and here's the result of poolside booze and a really crap wifi signal! Ebay and email worked intermittently and I could never log on to the site. Luke Jedi Trilogo with a meccano bubble (and one of Iain's very nice cases :wink: )

Some lovely stuff on here as usual, great baggies, 12 back chewie and tri-logos. :shock:
Love everything.
