Thanks gary for the kind words

Hi guys, ok I have been lucky. I have received 2 childhood collections today

Here is the first childhood collection that I found and I will upload the second one tomorrow :wink:

This is a really cool and one of the best childhood lots I have found. Bought it from an old man, he told me his son was 41 and have not used it since the 80s. Most of the figures looks like new, when I cleaned them many of the arms and legs was so stiff so I think they have never been moved :shock: :shock: But a few of them have been played with and that is the rare ones and off course broken :roll: why could he not have played with the not so rare figures. To my next big surprise there was a lot of extra weapons :shock:

Ok so far I can see farmer luke is a POCH and he looks awesome nice but to my big surprise I think he have lost his head it looks like it is glued back on

Both Biker Scouts are meccano, one have lost his head, looks like it has been glued back on and lost again :roll: The other one is nice

Chewbacca looks like he is a PBP.

Death star Droid is a meccano and has only a little damage on one foot and a little on the back :shock:

Luke Bespin is a PBP.

Hoth Stormtrooper is a meccano.

I am not 100% sure but I think both Imperial commanders is PBP

and a PBP metallic blue blaster, very cool 8)

Very nice Lars, congratulations 8)

Lots of PBP, well done

Hey man. Im hoping and waiting......

pm'd

Ok guys here is the second childhood lot that I found.

I bought it from a nice guy here in denmark and it was his childhood collection that have been on the loft since the 80s.

Again many of the figures have very stiff legs and arms and looks very nice only a few is damaged.

C-3PO has a very strange face, the paint is different than all the others I have seen :?

Ahhman what a haul there mint hardly played with which is a shame but good for us collectors. There keepers for sure. Nice 8)

Tremendous finds…well done although IG88 looks lost without any of his two guns!
I'm curious though, how do you find out that strangers have stuff in their lofts, is it the local papers or word of mouth or do you just knock on people's doors and demand to check their loft ??

Thanks mate for the kind words, yes IG-88 is naked but in other lot I got the same day but uploaded the day before there was a few extra ig-88 rifles :lol: I find them on ebay, on danish auctions and local papers I also have an ad where people in denmark can contact me if they want to sell me vintage star wars

Ok I am not always that lucky I do not remember when I last found 3 childhood collections in one month :lol:

I have been offered a few more so I could have bought some more but there was no weapons in them, figures was not that nice and the sellers wanted to much money for them.

Nice 8) but now your just getting greedy Lars :wink:
