loving the vans!!

That's a proper blinder of a miscard. Must say they were lenient grading that bubble 75.

I thought the same. I wonder if the bubble has suffered since grading? I got it from Ireland so I highly doubt heat would have played on the bubble :lol:

Great miscard !! :shock:

The vans are great. They're so wonderfully of their time.

Some very nice pick ups, the vans are great, as is the miscard. Picked this luke up off here. I have been after a decent condition yellow hair luke bespin for ages. All the ones I have had have been quite worn. This has been opened from back, bubble still fine. I managed to re attach the blaster behind the original tape. One of my favourite cardbacks for sure.

Thanks fellas. I need to track down one of the rip cords to give the vans a test run.

Some amazing additions on here for sure - great to see this thread still going strong. I have been on a bit of an enforced buying ban (that Celebration Stall + stock isn't cheap) - but couldn't really get away from buying this little chap - do love a card error. This came straight out of a packing case apparently so obviously escaped QC!





Goes together nicely with my Teebo



Chap also had this for sale so was rude not to buy him as he isn't the easiest to find - and we all love a good Bend-um

Real nice items on here lately love the miscards and the error cards but the Bendem has it for me never managed to get that one years ago, still pick the odd one up now and then when I find them , don't know what it is about them I just love em

Iain I have got to get me one of those cards with the bubble in the wrong place. They are so damn cool.

Just had the most amazing 2 days. A trilogo AT-AT Driver arrived on Wednesday, and This Palitoy Luke X-Wing 20 Back arrived today. The tri is ungraded, but it is utterly flawless except a little paint coming off the shoulder onto the inside of the bubble. It looks like it came out of the factory yesterday. I'd say the card has to be a 90, and the bubble & figure an 85. Had a bit of a dry year in 2016. I only collect MOCs, and I think I bought maybe 3-4. I've had some funds recently, and these 2 cards have been at the top of my want list for ages. I've been holding back to try and get one for a bargain, but hasn't happened, so paid what I think is still decent prices compared to recent sales. I can stop looking for these now and will clearly have to never upgrade them as this is as good a condition as you can get. You see these Luke X-Wings online, with decent hi-res photos, but until you see one, in this condition, in the flesh, it's on a different level. Can't stop looking at it.

Love the Toltoys Iain :lol: don't like bend emsTBH, but like that Fett

Stormcab...the ATAT driver is nice love the TL.
The LXW is a stunner no wonder your happy

Lovely additions guys.
I bought the bend ems when I worked in Doncaster in the early 90s as they were the first 'toys' I remember seeing for sale in stores since the heyday of the 70s up to mid 80s.
They weren't the best toy tbh but it was wonderful to see SW merchandise up and running again.
Thought I had the lot except for Luke X-wing until I've just seen this Boba.
Really nice.


Stormcab those two carded items are lush.
Always loved that AT-AT driver alternative pic.
Is the Luke from Plymouth by any chance?

Regards

Beauties Justin. About time you added some nice pieces, well done matey and clearly worth the wait.

Here's something a bit different... a Collection Commander action figure case made in the UK by Frankel and Roth, who later had the licence to produce Jedi pencil cases and bags. This isn't a Star Wars branded item but is clearly aimed at Star Wars action figure collectors; it mentions Star Wars on the packaging and shows several SW and ESB action figures on the product photo. The graphics on the case are cheesy sci-if / army inspired, with a number of obvious influences. Inside the case opens up to reveal individual compartments for storing figures, and a separate compartment for weapons, labelled "Survival Kit Storage" - another clear SW figure reference. I love the quirkiness of this piece!

The guy is a twat!
I won this item a while ago and he cancelled it all and wouldn't respond to my messages.
He's got form

Cracking piece nonetheless

I think that luke x wing was sold about 4 times, glad to see someone from here got it in the end
