Nice odd bod item there Stefan, I've never seen them before either.

nice dutch item you have got there Knopie
did you notice, it mentions "50 cents". Shouldn't that be "50 centen" if it was written correctly? Then again, I don't know **** about how to spell correctly

Thanks, glad you said that Ian. Moved recently and figures dropped the odd weapon. Wasn't happy with how I put one or two back together and that confirms my fears. I'll check some photos online and swap some around. I reckon I've got another wrong in there somewhere.

EDIT sorted! Black Bespin Guard had nicked a blaster.

I love it when people post latest acquisitions after we have covered a particular genre of collecting or something with a guest on the podcast, so here is my contribution. Following on from Joes interview, I picked these beauties up.



The Stormy and Vader are in great shape. Both are made in Hong Kong. Im a big fan of the alternate photos so its great to pick up the Stormy and Han.

The Han I have been after for a while at a good price so I was thrilled to pick this example up, however this one is made in China, which I assume is the Meccano factory as he is in one of the small square bubbles and in transit, this happened:



I am gutted. It looks like he has moved in the bubble and stamped the crack.

Couple of questions and opinions. Firstly, the seller and I have agreed a partial refund. It was unfortunate for the both of us and he was very good in sorting this out. Could I ask what people think he is now worth? Secondly, he displays really well, but I am really worried about him coming out of the bubble proper, so I was considering reinforcing the base of the bubble with a piece of clear tape. Whats the consensus with this.
