Apologies for the length of this one. Its been awhile since I posted. I kept telling myself I hadn't picked much up but a combination of getting new acrylic at FF, Nick, Celebration and Facebook I had a sort out and realised I added loads.
First up celebration. I went thinking I didn't really want anything and ended up picking some really random stuff up. My favourite pieces are these Spanish Ewoks books. I have these two large story books and a pop up book. There are 4 in each set. These are great. The larger ones are about 18 inches high and look awesome on display.
I also picked up this piece. Its ex shop stock and has quite a bubble lift on it and some damage to the card but I think it displays great and the seller did me a great deal on the price. I have to thank JC for giving me the opportunity to put a Harbert in my collection.
Its the third Tusken I have, and my plan was to sell the other two to make way for it. I sold my trilogo but couldn't bear to get rid of the 12 back I had as the pair display so well together.
Again, I had no plans to pick anything up from Farthest from, then Nick emptied his box.
Lovely 48 back AT AT Commander
Even better, as I don't have one of these stickers yet in the collection!
Hypothetically speaking, do you think if I U graded this, AFA would include this in the acrylic and give it a mark out of 100?
All this untouched by human hand bullshit, and my sealed moc has got a pubic hair in it!
Then I recently picked a few pieces up via other channels. Im quite partial to an interesting MOC, something a little different to the norm, and I feel these certainly fit the bill:
Love this Rancor Keeper. Its got an SKU sticker, K Mart price tag and the offer leaflet stapled to the card. I saw the pic of the shelf talker Grant put up that these came from. My theory is perhaps K Mart didn't have room or couldn't put the talkers out so someone maybe decided to pull them off and staple them to the cards on the hangers.
I also got this miscard. The bubble is squashed right down but its fully sealed and a cool combination imo.
Finally, this piece I got from JC, and I absolutely love it. French Meccano trilogo with a fairly special, rather unique bubble:
If anyone can help me find a leia boushh I would be very grateful. I would love to pair them up.
Sorry for the long post. Hope you enjoy.
