Nice Ewok Ed but do I spot a Profile Hip Hop 12" in your collection?

I'm all for the childhood shop stickers.

That's hard-core nostalgic material - I consider things like that pretty much priceless.

After what seems like forever, I finally got something for the Leia focus! Princess Leia Helix eraser acquired through a smooth trade with a great UK collector on Facebook. These are nearly impossible to find in the states.

Looks great paired with my Helix pencil case!

I bought the case a few years ago from a Rancho Obi-Wan charity auction (sometimes Steve does sell duplicates, when he finally figures out he has more than one of something :lol: ). I like that the case still has the price sticker on it.

Cheers!

Lovely pick up Bruce. Something stunningly beautiful about the simplicity of white. Leia is one of my favourite figures and your Leia focus is truly awesome. Nice to see you back posting on the forum.

Yes good spot, I've got lots of late 80s and early 90s classics

I've had two additions this week which, on the face of it, are nothing special. First is a really nice loose Han Bespin which means I've finally completed my loose first 77 run... 24 years after starting it with Han Trench and Leia Poncho! I've a few to upgrade before I decide whether or not to venture into last 17 territory.

Second is the little beauty below. It's just a bog-standard boxed Kenner MISB Speeder Bike with some damage. What's special to me about it are the price stickers - it's originally from one of my childhood toy shops, seemingly from around the time they were clearing out their Star Wars stock. I've known about this particular item for a while and thought I'd managed to get it a year ago, but the seller stopped communicating. It's just popped back up for sale and though I've definitely overpaid on it I couldn't let it slip away again. There were a few anxious days waiting for it to arrive, but it finally came yesterday. It's a bit more beat up than it looks in the pictures but I'm really really pleased with it. That's two down, three to go in the 'local price sticker' focus!

Great score on the childhood price sticker...and on a Speeder Bike to boot.... I've got one from my childhood store too... to me it's priceless no matter what you paid.

Good man, looks like we have more in common than just Star Wars, just love some of those classic 12's.

Very excited today. Got this little beauty in the post. My first 20/21 Back and totally loving the fact that it's a Tusken Raider. Thought it would never happen after missing out on Jez' Luke Xwing Pilot and a few others recently. 1 Down, only another 20 to collect!

One word. Ok two: very nice!

Nice Tusken and I always wanted to do a first 12 run on 20 backs but with the white price sticker square on the front and offerless. I can't remember off the top of my head which card back variant this is but I think it was a tougher run to put together than a straight 12 back run so decided against it. Getting a 20/21 back run is definitely achievable so take your time and enjoy the journey!

The price of 12 backs put me right off. Though not much cheaper I figured my budget could stretch to 2 maybe 3 20/21 backs a year. I know I'll have trouble with Fett, other than that I imagine the pricier ones will be Chewie, Luke and Vader (but I'm only guessing at this early stage in my MOC hunting career).

This was years ago that I put a 12 back run together where I was paying around 350 GBP for a luke and the most expensive was an 80 graded large head Han for 400, those were the days

Oh no, not Palitoy even back then, it was a Kenner run and was around 2008.
