Big thanks to the Nerf Herder for sorting out the Dengar. Just need to find the elusive Threepio now! :D If anyone is bored with their 45a run or Threepio focus, please let me know! I have cash! :D JS

It's a long shot, but it might just work! Seen both come up over the last year but just missed out both times! JS

That talk sounds fascinating. Gutted I completely missed this. Anyone know if it was recorded? JS

I think I had a couple of mocs off Toni back in the 90s but even then I remember thinking there was something slightly off-putting about his ads in Model and Collectors Mart that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Probably something to do with the fact he had seemingly limitless supplies of the...

Thanks so much for sharing! As it happens, it was the Jolly Giant in Anniesland (or Crow Road, Jordanhill to be precise!) We parked up near Victoria Park, and walked the rest of the way. I was kind of bummed I never got a pic so this means a lot. Do let me know if there were any other pics in...

My most vivid memories of Star Wars were being introduced to my friends collection in '82 which pretty much set me on the path, meeting Darth Vader at the Jolly Giant, seeing the first new ROTJ toys hit the shelves, discovering the last 17 when I thought it was all over, and re-discovering...

I'm not sure I follow this logic that by choosing not to bid on an item you want at an open auction, it will somehow help to reduce prices. I would love to buy a 30b Fett for a tenner which I feel is a very fair price. I tried the method of stubbornly refusing to pay £18k for one but I'm still...

I did it in 2002. Just hired a car and drove around with an old style analogue map. (No sat nav back then!) Was the closest thing to a religious experience I ever had! It's so sad that Tunisia along with other countries are no longer considered safe due to a few extremists. Must be terribly...

Just found this thread. I won the Greedo which I think is the only one of the 20 backs that went for a halfway realistic price. I really wanted the power droid and R5 but had to bail out. I'm guessing that being unpunched is what drove up the prices? R5 was mint but PD had a pretty large ding in...

For £200 you could get Ray Park to hang out in you living room for the weekend. For another £200 you could get him to stop signing everything! :-p

Resurrecting this thread... seems that Vectis has turned up another one of these http://www.vectis.co.uk/Page/ViewLot.aspx?LotId=664915 Interestingly it was also purchased in the UK. Personally I think it's becoming more and more plausible that there were a bunch of these floating around in...

PM on its way!

Hi Jason, Maybe a dumb newbie question, but have you ever asked Jim Stevenson or Jason Joiner what 30 backs they have? Surely if anyone is likely to have previously unconfirmed cards it would be those two? Cheers JS
