these sigma displays are mega fragile and its missing a section!
but still the best item posted this week for me.

Some great stuff, love those Palitoys and that Luke Gunner with the sabre lying in the bubble is a beauty.
Always loved the photo's on those 6 packs just wish they were affordable and not so scarce!
That broken up Jawa is cool too it's the first time I've seen a removable limbs figure apart from 3P0 of course!
And finally that Vader on the sprue and the display above are terrific.

Actually looks like he has the extra piece. I like the way the styling of the black ridges reflect Vader's costume. He's asking $2,500 OBO. No idea if that is on the money or way too high, but it's not something I've seen before so hope you don't mind the share.

I have been collecting loosies for a while, I have 146 now but I had a nice surprise last night when I found out that the boba fett was a trilogo with unpainted knee and painted wrist dart, truly a nice gem. I payed £2 for it at a bootsale last year not knowing, and neither did he.

Unpainted knee Tri Fett by far my fav 8)

Nice pick up :wink:

Love the six packs 8)

Nice find with the Fett

Great work lads, bloody awesome to go through that lot.
Nothing for me still but i have some stuff in the post.

Holy crap, too many fantastic pieces :shock:

Loving all of the Luke Farm boy and Tri logo sweetness'

Picked up this 47 back C-3PO Removable Limbs MOC from Andy to add to my loose limbs mini-focus.



Now have the ESB, a ROTJ 65 back, ROTJ 79 back and POTF. Am hoping I can look to use the 79 back as trade bait for a trilogo at some point.

Must be the Bank Holiday but even 3po is looking good.
Off to lie down now :shock:

:lol:

Some great pieces , love the 6 pack

May the bank holiday be with you ! :lol:

Gosh there are some great items showing up here. LOVE that Sigma display and the Palitoy IG88 and Tusken.

My latest addition to the focus is something I have been on the hunt for a long time. Its open, but all original and the figure is a POCH Vader as well. Just need to find a footer to complete him.



I reckon that POCH Logo is up there with the Toltoys Logo, and if that's not enough, it also has the very awesome sideways card back.



Big thanks to Jonathan for helping me get hold of this guy.

Cheers,
Pat

That's a rather nice Vader!

That card back has to be the best one out there.

Pat that's a gorgeous figure, huge congrats - must be a great feeling to finally have one!

Cheers guys, it is good to finally have pinned one down, even if it is opened. Still, being all original, I'm pretty happy.

Next, I need a MOC ROTJ Meccano ... the hunt continues!

Pat

That Vaders a beauty :shock:
