For me it was the Laser/Blaster Pistol. I yearned for one of these and searched many toy shops, but never found one. The only time I ever saw one in a shop, was Redgates in Sheffield and I had no idea they existed up to this point. They had the pistol and also the stormtrooper blaster. The...

I think as long as Star Wars stays relevant there will always be an interest. They aren't making Dinky movies to keep interest alive. I do also think, however, that our generation will have a unique place in collecting, as we fell in love with it all first-time around. For new collectors, they...

My grail vintage item, without a doubt, would be a Han Hoth Gear 30 back Palitoy MOC with a "Redgates" price sticker. This was the first figure I ever owned (and I still have him) and this would have been the card he came on. Redgates was my local shop in Sheffield and most have sold thousands...

Did a trade to add this guy to my 12 back run. Really happy to add Chewie, one of my faves and only 12 back I have with the 32 back sticker :) Only 3PO, Han and Sandy to go to complete the run now...

Couple of nice pick-ups recently - nothing too expensive, but pleased to add these :) Micro Collection X Wing. Never had these as a kid and always liked the look of the X-wing, so happy to get this boxed version: Also got this budget R5-D4 for my attempt at a First 21 run. Bit of a beater...

I got some very nice pieces that I am happy with - mostly, boxed ESB Han Laser Pistol, Micro Collection X Wing and Luke 12 back. For 2019, specific goals: Any MOC or cardback with "Redgates" price sticker Han, Sand People and 3PO 12 backs to complete my run Luke ESB boxed Palitoy Laser/Blaster...

Thanks :) Christian is the man!

I was the very, very lucky winner :D Wow! I never win anything, so I am amazed! Christian is always amazing with his customer service and he was no different in getting the prizes to me. These are hugely appreciated, I can't wait to get my MOCs and loose figures into these. Thanks again...

Sorry! I'm here :) Will contact you Christian :D

Bit different for me, as my loose collection is what I had from childhood. I have added a couple of figures since then - Yak, A-Wing, small head Han - as well as some blasters etc that got lost back in the day. But for me, they are the most important part of my collection. They are what started...

I agree - they were neither rebels or Imperials, like the Switzerland of the SW universe... In which case, it adds even more weight to the argument that they created a DSC at the expense of the Rebel Trooper, as they felt they needed more baddies.

They stunned R2 and then kidnapped him and 3PO, selling them to the highest bidder. Plus I can't abide them, disgusting creatures :D

Thinking about it and my tirade as to why Kenner did not release a Rebel Fleet Trooper, I may have thought of the reason. It is too perplexing as to why not, as it makes sense on many levels (recreating battles, troop building etc). But, when they were creating the first 12 figures, maybe they...

This just in... Luke Skywalker 12 back b. Getting there with the 12 back run now, 8 down, 4 to go!

Yeah, I took a closer look and it will be tricky to remove the loose panel without cracking and destroying it. Because of this I think I will leave it as it is :)

Possibly, I remember reading Kenner initially didn't want to produce the guns until Lucas insisted. I would imagine if this were the case though, they wouldn't have produced any guns. As it was they were still producing new ones for ROTJ (biker scout etc), so don't see a reason to not do a...

Congrats on the 10 years, Christian :) Love your cases - and here are some of my MOCs showing off in them!

Thanks, I will take a look and give it a try. The bottom has already come away a little, so there is at least a good starting point. Will let you know how I get on :)

Thanks, man. The bottom seems a bit loose, so I think that could be removed and glued back... Any tips on how to do it without harming the acrylic too much? Yeah, makes you wonder how it was graded with the flap obviously out. I don't think it could just be shaken out. I coveted these since I...

Thanks, will give it a try. Never against bouncing on a sofa to sort her flaps out :lol: I don't think it will work, as the inner flap has prised out, so it will need a push back into place. Boxed laser pistols and rifles seem to be fairly scarce and are always pricey. I got this for a good...
