Your favourite purchase of 2023 ?

[Pomse2001]

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

wow that early bird are outstanding

 

[Pomse2001]

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.

Wow that box and that moc are beauties, congratulations

 

[Pomse2001]

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.

Great set, are it MISB ?

 

[Pomse2001]

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!

Not perfect, but it is still cool and on a ESB card

My favorite Purchase in 2023 was a danish childhood loft find that I bought from a very nice guy named Thomas. I was lucky to get in contact with him and buy his childhood stuff. The Lumat cardback with Wicket was the favorite item in that lot

Lars, yep, Death Star now complete, after many years!

Love the loft find- really cool. Not found anything like that myself for a long time.

Congratulations with a complete one now thanks, they are also not easy to find anymore in denmark. 10 years ago, I could find one every month in denmark now I should only be happy if I find one every year.

Yes, that is the swedish one, I have also seen some Norweigan, Finnish, Italian and spanish. But I do not know how many countries they were made for. I only have Danish.

Great cardback with a lot of history and memories

 

[kabuchi7]

Nice bib cardback, would love to find a cardback with a price sticker from our local newsagents back in the day but i think the chances of that a zero as it was a small town.

Don't give up mate. I looked out for this price sticker for over ten years then two came along within a couple of months. And it was also a small local shop.

 

[kabuchi7]

Thats awesome! For such a small shop they did have loads of figures so maybe i will get lucky one day

I knew there were a few language versions, didn't realise there were that many though - interesting.......

Just had a check on the SWCA mini cats blog which has been my go to check list for my catalogue collecting for a few years now (it's pretty complete but there's a few ommissions, particularly European versions of the ROTJ palitoy poster cat). For the '85 POTF catalogue they list: UK / Sweden / Norway / Finland / Denmark / Spain.

Here's the blog: http://blog.theswca.com/2017/05/minicats-guide-to-kenner-in-pack-mini.html

No problem. The Italian one is almost always up for sale on ebay. Probably the most common of the lot.
