Oli! That carded Leia is a dream piece. I think it easily qualifies as a grail. And I must say, I'm so envious!! :D

Pink poncho Leia sample has to be one of the coolest items in the whole vintage SW collecting world. Hugely envious! The fact that it was sold at retail is even cooler. I wonder how many Aussie kids were playing with pink poncho figures?! How many of these are there known to be carded?

I remember a Han Trench sample on eBay, must've been about 2007 and it was listed BIN for something like $299. I didn't pull the trigger and missed out. Top 5 collecting regrets.

I'd say the Pink Poncho probably worked in it's favour as to why it actually survived. You could imagine looking for a ponch Leia with her cool camo poncho and find one that was pink instead. They probably all became peg warmers.

The pink Leia Poncho is unbelievable.

Here's a couple of recent additions. R2 is an upgrade and a nice Rebel Soldier addition for my 45a focus.

Great buys.

Love the Palitoy MOC. I think a 45a HRS was the first MOC I ever bought off of you Andy, way back in around 2001/2 :D

Well, done on the Palitoys. Was watching them myself. The R2 was way out of my price range. I put in a bid for £190 on the Hoth soldier, but was wasn't wanting to go any higher with such a yellow bubble.

Love those Palitoys and well done on the ewok glider, nice and minty for one of those.
Tie Bomber looks the nuts ( they should have made that for the figures)

Cheers, I missed out on the Luke Bespin though which I really wanted.

In all my years of collecting 45a's I have only ever seen one clear bubble on a HRS (which I also owned). For some reason this particular figure's bubble generally yellowed.

A massive difference in price between that and the AFA 75 one. Someone reeeeeeally wanted that sucker, £1400!
