Latest Acquisitions

Grant - LOVE that ticket mate, not seen that one before - what's the story behind it?

One for my Luke FB focus.

So I picked up ..

The best condition yak face I've seen ...
And the worst condition yak face I've seen

I bought the best one for £200, with romba, Luke farmboy grey haired kenoni and a yoda. Not bad deal. I'd say a small saving....

The worst yak was £50 - but I took pity on him as he was so battered.

Worst yak ...
And my yak orgy ...

Love the Yaks !

Yak attack!!

After Vectis, FF and a few other purchases I've got a few pieces to put up here, but for now this is my most exciting find. Thanks to Joe for guidance on a fair price for it

I'm no cardback collector and if you'd told me 12 months ago I'd splash out on a simple card back I'd have laughed my socks off, but since going all Palitoy/Trilogo I've realised sometimes you just have to be happy with a placeholder such as a reseal or even a cardback. I'm not up for paying thousands for the real deal yet, so this will do for now. The figure is the correct one (no/removed COO) for the cardback (unlike the reseal in the recent Nigo sale!). I love the fact it has price stickers, the fact they've been thoughtfully placed on the back in the barcode box and most of all the fact they had to reduce a Trilogo Jawa to 69p to get the bugger sold. Even on my pocket money I could have earned a year's salary after a couple of months saving to buy a dozen on these blighters at that price.....

Very nice Simon.

Loving the cardbacks fellas!

Thanks to Simon (SLNH)for these bad boys for my first 20 focus.

11 down, 9 to go. Hopefully will finish it before priced out of market.

Very pretty MOCs, Mark Thanks for the trade. Those look much better in your collection than mine!

After a really dry few months i've gone crazy!!
My MOC collection lept by over 10% at FF.

My first piece of Vintage was given to me courtesy of Mr Marc Walsh. Thank you sir, extremely generous.




AT At Commander, Teebo, PD and Rebel Commander all from Chris Mann
Beat up TFP from ScottyBoy (David)


The Teebo has an interesting stamp on the back


But by far my most favourite piece so far is the Palitoy 45B which i got from Scottyboy. Here he is alongside a resealed German LXW that i thought was a really good deal for the price i paid.



I collected my LXW Soap from the Big Pick



But then this beauty arrives, LXW small prototype coin, direct from an ex Kenner employee (Director of Market Research 1982-1992).
I'm delighted with it and it came with a wonderful COA from him on a beautiful watermarked certificate. Thanks Iain for handling the trans atlantic transaction.

Nice additions Jez! Some really interesting stuff there, good work sir

LXW Mocs look great Jez

Hi
I've never posted on latest acquisitions before but over the last month or so I've been putting a bit of an ESB moc run together. With thanks to a couple of folks on here - Ross Barr Dan Whitely and Simon (SLNH)

Also got a Leia bespin en route

Cheers Rich

Jez, you had one good FF! Great acquisitions galore. Loving the Pali 45b LXW but that's closely followed by that very cool soap! Not sure how you're new flying kit will go down with your crew, though

Rich, that right there is pure ESB porn. Beautiful run of MOCs, thanks for sharing.

I never noticed the date on the Teebo before we saw it at FF Jez. Funnily enough that's the day after my birthday!!!

Could it have been the shop selling it that put it on there?? As in that's the day they put it up for sale as a way of monitoring how quick stock was selling.

Only reason I say that is an 'Open All Hours' style shop I delivery to does that.

First SW loose purchase in months.....Was at a local Christmas fair today with the little one. Some fella had a few boxes of old toys...
Quick rumble threw them unearthed this.....minty Chewie loosie....
'How much sir?'
'A quid....!'
'Mmmm...ok!'

Interesting to see the date on that card. My 77 back Power Droid has the date March 3rd 1984 written in pencil on the back. I wonder how many forum members has MOC's with dates printed/written on them? My PD certainly wasn't originally for sale in an "open all hours" type shop, it has a walmart price sticker on the front.
