Latest Acquisitions

Managed to pick up a grey X-Wing at a reasonable price.

And after all the Palitoy, Meccano, 12 back and X-Wing loveliness here's a cheap and cheerful quirky KayBee item, my first KayBee purchase for months and currently the only piece actually in my collection although I expect that to change

That colouring book is great - not seen that before

Excuse the non-vintage item, but I'm very pleased with my new TFA vinyl with holograms!

Well Done Max! I tried myself to get it, but he said it was already spoken for. Glad it was you who picked it up.

Awesome! I love the old ROTJ coloring books. I remember having a couple of them as a child and the artwork in them was great.

Thanks Andy!

Another great set a purchases, guys. The Greedo is a minter, Stu. It'll look great in a box

Love the colouring book, Carl. Would love a set of those but I know they'd only end up being stored until I could get them on show somehow.

Maxf, blinding Vader! The french square cards are very cool indeed. However, I'm still in shock you managed to walk away from the Palitoy Luke Bespin hiding under him. What were they after for that?

Love the hologram vinyl. Saw those for sale at Celebration and dismissed the "hologram" as a gimic and probably referring to the label on the record :lol: That, however, is incredible. I'll be picking up a set of discs myself given that the misses bought me a USB turntable for my birthday. (She's trying to disuade me from bringing my beast of a 70s sound system into the house and it's sooooo not going to work! USB misses the bloody point of vinyl!)

Great buys, everyone.

Thanks for the comments on the Vader - chuffed to land it, and happy to be a little closer to my goal.

I left the 41bk Luke Bespin - partly because it wasnt in amazing condition (bubble dented) and partly because I'd just handed over a load of money for Monsieur Vador.

ScruffylookingNH that R5D4 Baggie is a proper find -Well played my son!
Congrats Jason on the 12 back run... Sweet! Thanks for taking the time out to take a pic of your Greedo moc Stu...(I know you love to get ur new arrivals straight into the garage )Loving the Meccano Vader Maxf too always love that look of the Meccano card
Anyways as you probably gathered I haven't been buying anything for a while but I did get this little stash of free swag for my display ... My mate picked up the Fridays postcards from the lads at the Vintage rebellion podcast at Celebration , and surprised me by getting 2 of he's mates also to collect Saturday's and Sunday's postcards so I have the full set! What a top bloke ay? I think it was a bloody good deal as I thanked him by buying a £3 meal deal from tescos ( other good supermarkets are available ) and we made the exchange in the car park.... Well chuffed
I should say a huge thanks to the lads from the vintage rebellion podcast who arranged the give away a and of course and big well done to the lads who put a lot of hard work into making these postcards... They really superb .
Also for son George I got this lot for £30 cash, all works too. I'm drip feeding him slowly over the summer holidays. Snowspeeder was the first one I gave him and he loves it!
Enjoy and keep the vintage finds coming fellas
Shaky aka Ricky ⚒

Continuing on a CE theme just got back from the framers with the two best posters from Celebration, and two cast and crew issued story boards from ROTJ thanks to Darren Starzone toys

Just need space to hang them now

Max that is one serious pick up-many congrats 8)
Looks like a good friend of mine has secured the Luke Bespin-happy for him as he narrowly missed out on one a few years ago at Mem and the 41 Luke Bes is rare :!:

Spoons ur posters and artwork look fantastic!! Am waiting on the Palitoy Tribute poster myself, they did say shipping late July early August so am hoping its on its way to me!

Nice one guys

Love the framed storyboards spoons, have one on the way from Darren myself and will need to get a frame like that

Thanks chaps. Edd it really is worth getting them framed up, they are great pieces but need framing to set them off.

Hope you poster arrives soon PJ!

Lovin the grey version X-Wing 8) We know it's the grey version as the engines r black.

After a very long and fruitless search I've finally added an ESB Palitoy Dengar cardback to my small Dengar Mail Away focus.
Massive thank you to Stef (Walkie) who went out of his way to acquire this for me.
Just want a Parker Bradgate/Palitoy baggie and a mailer box now...
