Some nice purchases popping up as usual everyone. The debut MOC collecting has been getting me down a bit lately with the prices and stuff. I have an ESB Palitoy Snowspeeder on display in my bedroom and it was the first vehicle I was given as a child, so I have decided to hunt some other boxed Snowspeeders down as they aren't that expensive and think I will enjoy buying something other than MOC's for once. So here it is the first boxed item I've brought since 2000 a ROTJ Bilogo Snowspeeder, looks good next to my ESB one and my thinking is if I add one every now and then the wife might not notice! :?

Not sure if this is the start of a focus or not have to see what else pop's up. :)

Very nice DC Landspeeder Rich.
What others are you after for a complete run?


Cheers Andy :D I think I need the white Tie Fighter, the tie bomber, falcon. I'm sure I have Slave I but I can't see it. Also missing the ywing bomb. I probably sold the slave I as I'm fussy with the metal scratches and I think it was rough. The ywing is too looking at it so may need to upgrade that soon.

I love this thread. It's like a surrogate fix of new items. What, I think, is best about it is the huge variety of items that appear here. Everything from empty boxes for coveted late-issue vehicle to lead bootlegs. Absolutely brilliant.

Amazing condition A-Wing box. Scary-ass bootleg that looks million times better after it's gentle stripping. I LOVE the Amanaman baggie and had to hold myself back when that popped up. Brilliant die-cast Landspeeder with the backing card (best of both worlds). And finally a nice pair of AT-AT killers.

So many great things, chaps. And again; what a variety!

Good plan. No, wife's don't notice. The number of times I said "yeah this is just one of those cheap ones that they couldn't give away, so thought I might as well have it" COUGHpalitoylukebespin :D

Another nice diecast off the list


Great diecast landspeeder, they always seam to be missing the windscreen :) Coincidently I had these 2 arrive this morning, bought them on a whim the other night. Saw the Palitoy logo on the cardback and just had to buy them :D



Also managed to get a not too bad boxed Yoda puppet, a nice 'special buy' Radar Laser Cannon and an awesome AFA graded Tie Fighter Pilot courtesy of Stormcab (Justin) :D :D :D

Lovely Han and Leai card's there.

I've just acquired a Palitoy staff shop carrier bag, slightly more cost than an Asda 5p version absolutely delighted.

What a cracking bit of history right there laurence 8)

That's exactly what I thought buddy, it nearly got threw away apparently. It has a hole in it, probably from the corner edge of a boxed toy that adds a little bit of history but I don't care about that little skirmish.
Happy as Larry with it.
