Latest Acquisitions

Well done on the Palitoy TFP. I did the same for my 2-1B that only got a 70 due to a ding in the bubble. No probs, I can put up with a ding which meant I paid hundreds less.

My tri R2 bubble got an 80, and look at the state of it

I've only been on holiday for a week and yet more lovely finds by everyone

nice pickups everyone , love the 12" ig88!!!!!!

I'm not sure if it's a metallic blaster, I tried looking at the different versions but can't work it out. I think it is.

Thats a normal bespin blaster.

Oh balls, I spent hours twizzling in the light to try to convince myself it was metallic!

Couple more additions to my Palitoy 45a focus. Big thanks to fellow forum member SteveAv for these.

Some great Palitoys on here recently!

Very nice LXW P logo 45 Andy!

Cracking 45a's Andy! 8)

Finally got one of my prints framed up will get the other Two done at some point.... Bastard to take pictures of due to glare and reflection..

Really pleased though it looks really nice.

Cracking moc's Andy love the DSC looks like new..

new bits this week:

A few beater cards


Some new cardbacks:

Nice Palitoys there Andy. Proper envious.

Nice Andy, they both look amazing! Love that ROTJ Palitoy double stem Rebel Soldier Rob and I'm glad to see your print framed too skywalker, looks really well done!

Wife was visiting her Mum today and they ended up in her attic and look what they found



Really chuffed with it, genuine attic find - and yes I have suggested we have a proper look through everything as soon as possible in case it was the start of a vintage seam that runs the length of her loft

Looking at it db94 it looks like it could run all the way to Germany :lol:

Some truly wonderful pieces here again over the last couple weeks.
Ben, that was a great post of yours a few weeks back with your Birthday Shuttle, LL Jawa (new to his mates) and the miscards, really nice.
Dublin Jeff, bargain Tie Fighter dude, great spot by the little un.
Oli, bloody hell mate, how do you do it? Amazing pieces yet again mate, bravo.
Spoons, really great to see a LL CLM 3, especially after Marco mentioned one in the NA section of the latest, greatest Podcast. Blimey, and that Harbert Landspeeder is bloody awesome.
Scruffy, thats a bloody lovely IG88 battered or not. Great score with the TFP too.
AndyClarke, cracking 45As, you know i love that Luke X-Wing, very nice.
Nice prints Skywalker, the frame looks great.
Great MOCs RobPMarsh, i need both of them. Awesome stuff.
Colin thats a great find.

I won a cracking 21Bk LXW on eBay the other day and then realised as soon as i opened that parcel that it was a fake, thats on it's way back to the seller, the bastard.

However, i was delighted to get this earlier this month. A 35 mm pre production transparency of a painted hardcopy from the collection of Thomas Derby who got it direct from Kim Simmons. I know it won't be everyones cup of tea but i love it. I'm so happy he's in my collection

WOW love that mate how did you manage to get it was it on eBay..?? I missed out when Kim sold all his original slides some years ago and they hardly ever come up for sale now..

Love the jigsaw find - just awesome. I'm pretty sure I had that falcon cockpit shot jigsaw when I was a kid and it came with a poster of the same shot?

Brilliant stuff

Well done with the transparencies.

A few years back I collected all my transparencies, negatives, and APS rolls and sent them to be professionally scanned to digital at Mr Scan. I had 1000s, but the more you send the cheaper each is. Think it ended up 12p each. They send you a CD with high res scans. Amazing seeing all the quality brought out that is lost in a print. Here is a sample scan of a photo of me in 1987. Don't know who the kid was :lol:

Well worth you considering.

Always nice to add to your focus Jez, but how come you stung by a fake? Did it look that good in the photos?!

Not posted anything up here for a while but I was delighted to get this newly listed buy it now directly from the original owner in South Africa of all places. Shout out to my homies Stef and Jimbo for the instant heads up on this listing

An early, and quite rare, invite to one of the first showings in the Uk. Measure 160mm x 110mm on card. What really makes it is the early RMQ logo design - 'THE STAR WARS'.
