Congrats Grant, know you've been looking for that for a while.

Myself got a couple new AT AT Driver pieces. I've never seen the Boba Fett clipper offer like this before.

That soap dish is awesome
Another little piece for me with a Teebo coin and as Jez would say I am 'chuffed' as it completes another Ewok shelf

Not the most exciting LA item but this was a proper 'in the wild' find. I spotted this on a stall filled with junk on Stafford indoor market (it was like a diamond in the rough). Now I didn't need or particularly want this M.E but I just couldn't leave it sat there so liberated it for £2.00

Great find, mate.
The 'in the wild' finds are the best, especially when you're least expecting it.
Turns me into an excited 9yr old again :D

Great cards, Dan. That French card looks almost unused; very clean bubble removal. Great Clipper sticker, too.

Grant, awesome soap dish! I'm sure I remember seeing that on the cover of Tomart's guide in the 90s and laughing my head off. Now I want one, and not just to sit on a shelf but to use! :lol:

Tried a new car boot sale this morning. Nothing there (other than a mint boxed "Super Simon" by MB Games for £2!). And these off a toy trader who overcharges, thinks the 1997 POTFII stuff will be rarer than the 1978 toys and claims to have bought 10 MOC Tri-logo Yak faces for £1000....you know the type. Anyway, I had the following off him. My first "odd ball" bits and I'm well pleased! The Lando is a nice PBP scarred Lando "Type 8" I believe and although not rare I like him; excellent condition and I had a spare cape. The second photo of the erasers just show the covers of the ones pictured in the first pic. £20 for the lot and I had to get him down from nearer £30. Honestly....

Oh, and this guy arrived this morning from ebay. Yes there is a nasty litho tear where some tool has tried to remove the sticker (I guess it could have been a gift back in the day) but with the utterly stupid money being paid at the moment I am chuffed to bits as this was a few quid more than a loose manky R2 I am still watching (for a laugh) on ebay at the moment!

I have had a disastrous fortnight on ebay with a Palitoy Cantina, an ESB Falcon and a reprinted Palitoy catalogued all having to go back, but at last this guy has made up for it all :)

So, if anyone has a destroyed L17 Tri-logo card with a decent "New Figure £1.59" price sticker on it I would love to buy it. Going to try and make this one look better. As it's for me, I have no concerns about doing it and when I upgrade the replacement sticker will be declared. I just hate to see the torn litho on what would be a lovely unpunched card otherwise.

Brilliant! Congrats Grant

Some smashing other buys lads - is the AT-AT cardback a clipper SOJ? It's fantastic 8)


Here are my latest as I continue buying back Han Hoths I sold 5 years ago. In the case of the Clipper Tri-logo it is the exact same MOC I used to own - paid a proper premium to buy it back :cry: The other is an offerless 41 back. Only 3/4 to go to complete a Kenner run I was one short of five years ago :roll:

Great R2, considering mint prices. I wonder if there are any tricks to removing those types of prices stickers without further damage.

Went along to http://filmandcomicconglasgow.com/ today. As well as getting Dave Prowse's autograph and meeting Jeremy Bulloch had a rummage through a box of mixed loose toys and picked these bad boys..... for a total of 8 quid!! :D

The Luke farmboy was just dirty and had been chucked in with a load of other figs. I gave him a good clean and he scrubs up great. No weapons but i'm well chuffed with them. Another few figs saved :D

Just got this on Ebay, originally had a white thread on the front of the cloak but as this has a crushed bubble with the tiniest of cracks in the corner I was able to get a small needle in and remove the cotton improving the look immediately. Also have a lovely case for it to go in courtesy of GW Acrylic.
