Another VC Jawa Palitoy found

[Rebel_Runner]

If I had £15k I would be buying a bloody starwars figure that's for sure. But each to their own.

:lol: right there with you

Bloody iPhone auto spell correct! That was meant to read "wouldn't" but I think the message was pretty clear.

Crazy that another one has popped up - I wonder how many more are out there?

...apparently found at an antique fair recently along with the 3 others

Whoever stumbled across these is a jammy bugger... I've been trawling antique fairs for the past three decades and I've never been so lucky :lol: I live in hope...

Antique fairs are great Martin - I havn't been to one in ages but did the same but to no avail - absolutely can you imagine finding such gems :shock:

holy smoke, i'll be watching that if i can, bought a nice tri logo FX7 from vectis once, paid more than i expected what with final value fees and rather high postage but excellent packaging and customer service.

Nice link here of a previous auction,

Superb stuff, aok... I'd heard Iain and others talk of the trade packs going for a fair whack in a previous thread concerning Vectis auctions, and I wasn't really sure what they were referring to. Now it all becomes clear. I find it absolutely fascinating that boxes like these, full of Rancors and Y-Wing Fighters that were destined for toy stores, have remained (almost) unopened these past 30-odd years... it really is quite astounding :shock:

 

[theslider]

Isn't it unpunched as well? I think it'll top £20k, although my predictions are terrible!

 

[Stormtrooper37]

Wow! 8) 8)

I think this one will make more than the one sold on e-bay the other month, which was just over £11k if my memory serves me right.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

WOW Certainly looking forward to this!

I must admit I got carried away at the last auction - I won 23 lots according to my invoice

Vectis have posted detailed pics:-

Bubble is busted up, that'll knock 5k off right there.

[chazb73]

Would still love it 5k off ouch!!

 

[Grant_C]

Do you think the figure is replaced?

 

[itfciain]

Do you think the figure is replaced?

Doesn't look like it from here - that hole isn't big enough is it ?

 

[TC-14]

I didn't realise Vectis had a Facebook page, cheers Jason. It's a real shame about the lifting at the bottom of the bubble. Still, I'm like Andy: if I had the ready cash... I'd go for it. I don't think it's worth re-mortgaging my house, however :wink:

This really will be an interesting auction to witness from the sidelines...

Wonder why they haven't done any bubble straightening on that to make it look better. You could get a flat end of a pair of tweezers in that gap to push the bubble back out from the inside.

Hi mate. Welcome.

If you upload them to flickr or photobucket you can copy the link to the image and post here. Fairly simply but holla if you need more help?!
