If I had seen this before I would have had the Jawa, Yoda and Leia. Can you send me a pm with a couple more pics of the lovely lady and her blaster?

Is Leia Hoth still available?

Wish I did have a shop. Problem is I would be my biggest customer lol. I wouldn't sell to anyone else lol I always wanted to open a vintage Star Wars Museum. Better than a shop. Get to share it with everyone but never part with it lol

Would love a nice condition Palitoy Death Star. Won't be mint sealed like that one but be nice to have a decent box for display and a complete and intact playset.

Most of the ships have their instructions and marketing leaflets. I try to get them with the inserts too but harder to find sometimes. Picked up some nice figures lately too as I try to pit together a full set. Grabbed 2 Leia (white and bespin), both complete with original blasters and nice...

No I purchased it from a seller on Ebay. It's his shop out in Belgium. It arrived last Friday and was waiting at home for me when I got back yesterday.

Haha I bid against you on those. I didn't push as I was waiting on a Slave 1 but they were nice. Unused and nice solid boxes. Just a little fading on the cannon box. Fab! I won a Slave 1 which was listed as an ESB version complete with inserts etc. It had a pic of one with a ROTJ box. I tried...

I recently started collecting again after a 20 year break. Here are a few of my purchases from this year......

The other issue I worry about is the pesky light and preventing items fading. I thought of UV glass fronted cases or film on the windows. It seems a shame to have these lovely collections then keep the blinds drawn and sitting in a cave but that UV light is a real issue.

Yes I guess they give great flexibility and I like how you have hung the ships amongst the shelves

Ebay recent sold prices have the jawa around £1700 - £1800 and R2 at grade 85 between £750 and £850

I know it well. We were living between scurlage and Rhossili but moved last year. Now we are a few minutes from Three Cliffs and Pwll Du. I think other than swansea bay itself and Caswell that part of Port Eynon is the only section closed to dogs during the summer. We take ours right from Pull...

Lovely.... just down the road from us. Beautiful day for a trot on the beach.

R2 looks sweet

Pop them on Ebay with a high asking price like most. If it doesn't sell then specialist auctioneers like vectis have dedicated star war sales that generate a big buzz. I think their next is September or October. Stick on a reserve and hopefully watch it fly past. Not sure on their commission...
