Need to share this one as it really is the last 'figure' i needed to finish the full house and here it is. To be fair the set is quite beat up, the box is tatty and there is conciderable lifting on the bubble, not to mention the yellowing, but somehow it looks great and i couldn't be happier to have the run finished now.

Lots of good pick ups. Not put mine on here for a while.

Bargain Palitoy die-cast Millennium Falcon - resealed but looks great:

This is an upgrade from LeeG:

Finally got one of these, he's been a tough cookie to get, it needs to be properly resealed and a footer adding:

And finally completed the first 12 Palitoy figures. It's missing the footer and it's completely resealed so god knows how I'll get it in!

After taking a punt on a General Mills Han Bespin last week, which ended up being a Toni I splash out and got the real thing.

As well as the 41 back Han I also received a 32 back IG88 I've been awaiting a couple of weeks to arrive from the states. Not only did I get screwed on import duty, the base of stem of the bubble was cracked, nothing major but a little disappointing. Hopefully I can get some money back off the seller.

These are 2 figures I've coverted carded for years and it's thrilling to finally own them.

Son of Jango Congrats on those cards mate, the look great.

Well my collecting had taken a bit of a tangent, as i decided to go for a few oddball items to go in my spare cabinet.
I was waiting for the items to arrive from the US when i had my loft find
The very next day my oddball stuff arrives, bonus!
Now after cleaning up the figures, Wampa, Speeder Bike, and AT ST i'm ready to show you

I felt that my life wasn't complete without a vintage; comb, scissors, glue gun, ruler, sharperner, pencil set, set of 6 tins, a plaster taun taun, a table cloth, some party hats, party invite, birthday cards, hole re-enforcements, Bubble Bath, toothbrush, Fridge Magnets and Ralph concept artwork. The first edition 1977 cinema program is mint!

I understand fully why Grant & Todd collect Oddball stuff

Todd & Jamie Chamberlain, you are amazing!

Great buys everyone!

Been awhile since I've last had something to post, but I have 2 new additions. First, is a Clipper, which I've had the worst luck in acquiring until now. Glad I was finally able to land this one.

The next is a Hi-C mail away set of stickers with the mail away envelope along with the cutout advert for the offer.
