Great buy Jeff !!

great new stuff guys

Here's a little focus within a focus I've been working on.

I thought I was doing all white with my Airfix/ROTJ offer leaflets until Mark aka Sublevelstudios gave me a yell(ow) alerting me to an ebay auction for the Toy & Hobby yellow one. Cheers Mate!

I also managed to add a couple of upgrades to my paperwork focus.



1.Imperial Attack Base (Palitoy)
2.Y-Wing Fighter (Lili Ledy)



1.Le Retour Du Jedi Poster (Meccano/GM)

These can all be found in my updated limelight here....

Great pick up Jeff

Nice additions Walkie, love the Ledi addition 8)

Love the Micro sets roundster. Micro sets were one of my favourites as a child

Finally the owner of Luke 12 back! Still looking for his Palitoy cousin (v happy with a beater if anybody has one)

It's been a quiet few months for me, which is hardly surprising, but I have managed to scratch the itch occasionally. I've been very good in not buying vintage toys but I have found some other cool items. The highlights are the following four.

First up are a sealed (precariously!) box of TKS ESB stickers. This is the UK edition and the box contains 100 packets of 8 stickers. I was also lucky enough to acquire an opened box from the same lady. Her father was a book wholesaler back in the 70s and 80s and used to buy "all sorts of tat". When her mother was clearing out the loft recently they came across these. They were destined for the bin but she thought she'd see if they were worth anything. By Jove I'm betting she's glad she checked. the box next to it is a stand-in until I get hold of a similar find of a box of Panini stickers. This is a box of 60 packets of ROTJ Topps (booo!) stickers. They were identical to the UK packets except the US one's had the Topps logo and a barcode. The box was neatly cut open and flat packed, so has survived well. These were also available in the 100 packet boxes. Unusual to get a display box without a big black "X" over the front flap which was, I presume, a sale or return mark of some kind.



Next is an oddity. It was cheap enough to make me decide it was a worthy oddball item. It's an unused sheet of sticker for the display box that came with the Milton Bradley Star Wars watch that came out in 1977/8. The image below the sheet is one that on eBay at the moment and just included for reference.





And finally, Prog 334 of 2000AD. Not only has it got some cool Jedi ads inside but this prog also came with a sheet of 8 uncut ROTJ Panini stickers. Easy to find the Prog but a bugger to find the stickers, so I'm very pleased. Had to buy another copy of Prog 333 with it so be sure to scoot over to the FS section and help relieve me of it

loving tge stickers

Always exciting seeing the great items being picked up !!

Wonderful vintage bits from y'all - especially the 12back Luke. I wish, I also could get my hands on a farmboy for my first 12 run.
Here's what I finally managed to pick up from a local flea market yesterday. Sadfully the guy knows he had "somethin special", but for 20 € I think it's still a bargain.

Few new additions for the little one to play with, she's quite the collection now

Scout Walker (Its damn near perfect, she's chuffed) and Hoth Wampa courtesy of Tim on here...

Beater Troop transport picked up locally for a Fiver 8)

awesome pick up would love to have scored one to go with my trooper

great pickup boys and girls love it , great price on the yps magazine

sifting through the crap some of my latest loose variants from ebay

Han Solo Pin head (painted legs)

interestingly i rarely see these come up for sale UK side mainly moulded legs. i see them a plenty State side. strange i wonder why steve???. anyways it wasnt described as painted legs but i could see the white boot scuffs bought from ebay uk for £20 i thought it was a good price



Next : PBP white/cream face PBP AT-AT Commander No Coo Scarred

common as muckin Europe BUT a bugger to find without nose wear, the nose is more often than not chipped. i saw this in a little job lot for £7. hes in extremely good nick has a tiny prick of loss on nose but hardly noticeable. chuffed



Next : PBP Umber/Ginger Imperial Commander No coo Scarred.

Wasnt described as PBP and picked up for £15 the picture was grainy but it paid of as this figures paint work is amazing his limbs are stiff got the of the card feel. well chuffed. Interestingly this PBP variant also depicts a curved/hooked thumb which exclusive to pbp i believe.







Next : A upgrade of sorts a Han Solo Pin head, I already have a nice pin head mouled legs. how ever spotted this bad boy @ £10 buy it now with free postage. would be rude not to buy i thought at the price! its limbs are stiff and hardly any paint wear bargain   . to be fair it wasnt listed that well. more fool the seller i say.



Lastly : One of my Secret Santa presents from a SWFUK member. A kenner 1991 Robin Hoof  Friar Tuck Figure. Not Starwars i know! to those that dont know kenner recycled some of the ROTJ toys  (Ewok Battle Wagon,Ewok Forrest Playset, and Gammorean
guard) for the 1991 Robin Hood line. The Below figure is a retooled/recyled Gammorean Guard used to make Friar Tuck. A novelty if anything else but interesting.

Something a little quirky! Vintage Japanese Tusken erasers!! 8)

those are awesome , I have quite the tusken fetish

Picked up this little beauty for a decent price the other day. He's obviously missing the (Ledy) accessories but he's in great shape and it'll be fun trying to find them. Couldn't resist! I've got the cloak. Some great scores everyone, love the weird stuff Simon.
