Really Jon, you just couldn't let me have the full year to gloat, not 1 year :roll:
I suppose it's alright to sit alongside your alright Palitoy X Wing.

Rockin' pick up hombre!

So, I have cracked the hardest piece of my first 21 run - Boba Fett!

I honestly never thought I would have the budget for him, but got this now infamous MOC (as discussed on the last podcast) from eBay for.....£690!!

Now, am I a fan of signatures on MOCs ? Am I heck, but given the "novelty" of the factory error missing rocket and the fact that this very card sold at Vectis at the end of April for £1000 plus fees - I can live with the signature at that price.

Absolutely delighted - I feel sorry for the seller and honestly thought I was going to get mugged off, but today he arrived, perfectly packaged and he is awesome!

Cheers

Nicky

Cheers Rob - buzzing

He was the reason I pretty much sold every last remaining ROTJ MOC I had (including that lovely Lando!)

Congratulations Nicky, don't feel like you have to live with the signature though, they can be removed.

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...

I do like that paperwork, v cool 8)

I was watching this one and wondered what it would end up at. Cracking buy even with the signature when u consider what money mint examples command these days :!:

 

[indianawars]

Fair play on the Boba Fett! Personally, I've never seen a MOC version without the rocket. Doubt I'd see another one.

 

[Michael Sith]

Really like the YPS addition 8)

Fett moc is ace

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Look at all those amazing MOCs. Lost for words. A 30 back Luke XW, a bargain trios from Vectis and possible the buy of the year so far with that Boba error MOC. All amazing purchases. Great additions to the collections, guys.

 

[robpmarsh]

Another one from me:

Tri-Logo 70-Back Klaatu Skiff Guard

 

[Lee Gregory]

As per usual some really belting items over the last few days....

That 30 back LXW looks a beauty Jon, and a truly top quality addition to your 30 back collection mate 8) 8) 8)

I didn't even notice it was a 30 back, some Palitoy fan :lol:

Well done Jon, looks a beauty!

Some more great buys ! Nice hunting

 

[palitoyjunky]

So the one on the left my actual Yoda and cardback originally complete(thanks mum for continuously finding the cane somewhere on the floor during childhood play )
The one on the right a GIFT from Max Field :!:.........Yep I too was lost for words

As some of you know last year I managed to get hold of a MOC 30 back Yoda which was a massive pick up for my 30 back collection. As you can imagine I was feeling great with the satisfaction of accomplishment as I wasn't sure I would ever own the 30 back Yoda :? 8) However I can assure you all of that was nothing compared with the magical feeling I got when Max gave me back that childhood excitement in handing me a 45b carded Yoda just like I got from mum back in the day

I truly thank you my friend and will treasure it always.
