Your favourite purchase of 2023 ?

[welshwookie]

I think I managed 8 items this year, which was surprising, as I haven`t bought much over the last years, my favourite pick up, has to be the Power Droid that completed the 20 back run.

 

[sith-smith]

Nice. Love the power droid.

In Fact the PD was my favourite purchase last year as well.

 

[Cazza]

Great start!!!

Mine wasn't a purchase, but a freebie from a mate- Death Star Canopy.

 

[Mini99]

Ah, I see a trend here, all Palitoy items so far, so I had better keep the trend up.

I finally managed to added a Bossk Tri Logo last year.

Thats a nice Bossk you have

 

[db94]

Bought a few Stormies for my Troop Transporter.
Always wanted extras, taken all these years to finally get a few - remember my Dad reacting as though we'd never financially recover when I asked for a second ST as a kid

Thanks, I'm very happy with him.
Tri Logo's look so good with mint bubbles, but are so hard to find.

Not bought any vintage this year! But my missus bought me this beauty which I found on Ebay

Lovely fat lips Bossk. This was my fav pick up of the year. Didn't think I'd ever be able to pick one up as prices were constantly on the up

I certainly picked up some super items last year it's a tough choice between these two!

The ISP-6 was v special to me as it completes my sealed & unused mini rig collection.

Also I never expected to get another 30 back AT-AT Driver after letting go my example in 2017.

Lovely all round! Especially like the AT-AT Driver- grade seems a touch harsh though?

Aside from some great Amidala tat, it has to be my Micro Collection Bespin freeze chamber. Its in a box, complete and completes a mystery itch from seeing that bespin set in a catalogue as a kid and never seeing it until an adult. i now have the three bespin sets.

You know initially I thought the same! It absolutely displays like an 80 grade all day long but this is why it got the 75, on the top part of the card the texture seems lightly diff and it looks like at some point there may have been some water damage. U have to look carefully to see it but because its over a fair area of the card plus the small light crease by the unpunch it was given a 75. Super great 75 though

 

[Cazza]

Ah, that explains it- as you say, fantastic 75! I've got a 75 12-bk Sandpeople that's stunning, but it has the tiniest hairline split in the underside of the bubble stem. I love it though!

I've a lot of love for the Micro Collection.

 

[kabuchi7]

I didn't buy too much last year as i had a few of the more expensive ROTJ moc figures to complete the run but towards the end of the year i couldn't resist this IG-88 41 back, its not perfect but i love it!

 

[Cazza]

Gotta love a MOC Iggy.
