Been quite busy over the last few weeks. Decided to move on the Tri-logo and POTF MOCs that I've owned for around 20 years in favour of some earlier MOCs. I had Romba, Warok, Paploo, Lumat, Imp Gunner, Lando General, Imp Dignitary, Rancor Keeper and Prune Face. All very nice- some superb, however, I don't really remember them from when I was a kid, and that's what most of this is about for me. I want to own MOCs that I used to see hanging in the local toy shops, newsagents and department stores. This means mainly ESB, with a few SW and ROTJ thrown in for good measure.
My plan was to p/x the MOCs for the equivalent loose figure + cash where possible. It worked out surprisingly well and I managed to get hold of all but 3 in this way. The extra cash went towards new MOCs- I have been after a minty Leia Bespin for ages now, so pleased to find one! I also managed to pick up some mini-rigs, and loose figures that I didn't have, such as Ree Yees (as I already had the equivalent MOC). I love the price stickers on two of the mini-rigs: Co-Op and Boots 8)
I'm still waiting on one more ESB MOC and 3 more loose figures. The loosies will complete my loose run (apart from a VCJ- I'm still working on that one!).
Loads of people have helped with the deals: Iain has been an absolute star helping me get them from the States, Neil has been the valuable middle man, David (scottie_boy) has been a fantastic seller as always, Arwin (snlmace), Scott (Hooch) and Simon (ScruffyLookingNH) have all been superb to deal with as well. A couple of the Facebook guys have been great too. Thanks one and all!
