Latest Acquisitions

Thanks! I only wanted this one, not looking to start a collection of paperwork, well that's the theory!

Here's a recent acquisition I was lucky enough to add to my collection; a lovely green cape Lili Ledy Bib Fortuna:

Very nice, Jeremy.

Agreed nice addition Jeremy (going to have to start remembering the names ain't I) so thanks Cazza

Nothing earth shattering by any means but sure shows the state of play with trying to add anything to the collection these days.

I am still thrilled to add this one to the very unintentional Emperor side focus that's sprung up in my collection though & something that won't break the bank like most things these days.

Yes it's a palitoy Emperor mailer, so a little more interesting than the Kenner version, but what makes this one special is the weapons error (2 canes) to add to my Emperor mailer oddball/error collection, he will sit next to the kenner version I have with the same error proudly.

Nice. Emperor is one of the few baggies I have.

Lovely Emperor baggie, and all the more interesting because of the cane error. I wonder if some disappointed child back in the 80's received one without a cane? Good old Palitoy quality control!

Not a new acquisition but wanted to share
I have my loose collection on display but wow I forgot how great it is to set up a few figures.

The backpacks from the survival kit were always a favourite accessory. Adding them and a bigger blaster made a big difference to the Rebel Troopers.

Going to treat myself to another Stormie for the Troop Transporter - then I'll want 3 more for the other side

Time to get a few more figures set up, they are the reason I love SW so much and still collecting now

Nice Emperor, Frank.

Love the display, Colin!

Yes, a nice display you have there

Great display! What set did the survival packs come from originally? I have a few but don't recall what they came with back in the day when I received them.

Mailaway Survival Kit, Rebel Transport and Kenner AT-AT.

Ah ok, must have been one of the latter two in my case, also recall having the rubber breathing apparatus as a kid, were they part of the same?

Great display Colin but get a cover or you'll be forever dusting them off!

Palitoy were bad but there are a hell of a lot more kenner baggies with various weapons errors, I have the kenner version of this mailer with the same dual canes error, funny the thought of some poor kid being duped out of there accessory lol, I have a few weapon error baggies where the error is a missing item, I actually have 2 kenner CCP baggies & one has 2 com links & the other has none

can't beat a good loose figure display, it was my 1st mission when I stared collecting, took a while to put together even back then & a few like the blue snag & VCJ were tough, as Clarkspie&chips mentioned though, get em covered, dusting individual figures is hell, made my own display cases many years ago for that reason, as well then there were no real off the shelf options like there are today.

Yep, they were in the kit as well.

Not bad for £15
