Not really an LA I guess since I've had it the best part of 40 years but rediscovered this in the loft the other day...

The first 2 Topps card sets in my scrap book - and that's what I did with those transfers!

This is the sort of thing that reminds you why we are all in this hobby!

Awesome Martin!

More great stuff appearing fast and fantastic that two such amazing LAs are reposted on this page. That scrapbook is fantastic Martin. I'd love to know what happened to mine

And Mike - you have a fantastic set there. EOC is one of a kind!

Beauty Jawa set.

Love the Land of the Jaws play set

Here's my LA from Sandown at the weekend and got to meet Ed (Punk Pat) as a bonus :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice trilogos from Sandown. Went last year and saw diddly squat in terms of vintage SW

 

[Dorsetmark]

Nice looking figures ( specially Lumat ) :wink:

I wanted to share two recent acquisitions. A pair of vintage lightsabers! The Droids Saber has always been a tough find and so was really pleased to eventually find one, and the Force Lightsaber - whilst common loose - is very rarely found with the packaging (in fact the packaging wasn't introduced for this toy till the ROTJ line, and not being a 'box' you can see why kids or parents would have tossed it straight in the bin as it doesn't serve any purpose to keep it). Hope you enjoy!

Love the sabers fella 8) I didnt know there was a droids release .Was a lightsaber seen used in the droids series?

It's been well over a month since my last post in the latest acquisitions thread, so for starters here are some of my latest paperwork finds...

1. ROTJ Is Entering Your Galaxy Promo Leaflet - Another example to add to my collection, this time from Keddies in Southend-on-Sea, Essex
2. £1 off toys promo leaflet - Although there are no trademarks on this leaflet it does feature text and images from the reverse of item 1.

3&4. Lili Ledy Warranty Leaflets - Two more examples, which increases the variants I have of this item to 4!

**Don't forget to check out my limelight for further details on the above items**

5. YPS Magazine 509 - Which features an advert the free snowtrooper in the next issue
6. YPS Magazine 510 - I'm absolutely bowled over by the condition of this item, it even comes complete with the cardboard gift insert. This issue also contains a short comic strip featuring the free action figure.

Some additional images...

especially like the Airfix leaflet

Love the sabers fella 8) I didnt know there was a droids release .Was a lightsaber seen used in the droids series?

Have to confess to only watching couple of minutes of Droids and that was fairly recently (couldn't sit through any more!) so I'm clueless as to whether light sabers appeared, even diddy flick-knife sized ones.

Waiting for my Vectis stuff to arrive, but in the meantime:

Lando £40 from the fb group (thanks to Riflesmile)

Tomart Guide 2nd Edition

 

[Bonsai_Tree_Ent]

Interesting to see the advert for the YPS Stormtrooper. In the advert and cartoon art the figure is depicted with the regular Rifle. There must be a story behind why they changed it to the Action Force rifle?

Funnily enough the YPS figure shows up again in the next post on the cover of Tomarts Guide - and the figure shown in the photography is holding a regular rifle not the action force rifle!

Sealed droid factory pins Baggie!!

 

[stormcab]

Amazing paperwork, you guys really find some interesting stuff when I'm just collecting boring MOCs

That Lando should also go in the sub £50 NA thread

 

[robpmarsh]

My Vectis stuff arrived today (BIG THANKS to Richard H for collecting and posting these for me!)

Kenner 21-Back Power Droid

Tri-Logo 70-Back FX-7

Palitoy 20-Back Hammerhead (gonna do a reseal on this....was really cheap)

Well after seeing "theguiltyone" post his stunning example just shy of a year ago I was blown away
Over the moon I was for him as I knew how long he had been after one and being a top LXW collector.... 8)

Guess I got damn lucky this year :!:

 

[kvavik]
