Great pickups yet again guys.

Just a few small additions for this this time round as waiting on a few other 'bargains' to come in.

Couple of cardbacks courtesy of our very own Rob & Martin. Yak and R2 were eBay bargains, and the hybrid Greedo from FB.

But the gem for me was a eBay Christmas Day purchase of a nice Anakin mailer... all the way from the US and even with fees etc still come in at under £43 !!

Love the Anakin mailer, super price too. Must get myself one of them, last figure I ever received back in the day.

cool pickups , jeez I had an Anakin mailer many years ago and gave it away to an old collector friend ,wish I still had it complete

Well I said I was having a good week, and wanted to save this one til I had a chance to take a group photo. I finally managed to find a trilogo Yak Face to finish my last 17 run

As a bonus I also picked up an ungraded EV-9D9 from the same seller (hence my graded one being for sale) and the set looks much nicer with them all ungraded. I've also got almost all of them without the £1.49 sticker, so might try and swap those out in future.

They look great Edd, is that just Madine to go now?

Massive congratulations Ed!

I just finished listening to your 2016 reflection on the podcast so it's funny to see you finally pick up the Yak (I'm guessing at the right price). It just shows what a little patience will do.

That's a hell of a start to your 2017 and here's to some more amazing things coming your way,

Yes, so basically I'm done and going to fall at the last hurdle :lol:

Thanks! No unfortunately I pretty much paid the going rate for it. But I had to have it as it was ungraded and the condition was pretty good, most of the nice or even reasonable ones I've seen recently have been graded, and that of course adds extra tax. But you win some and you lose some, I've got enough of the others for good prices to offset this.

When a collection comes so close to the end I think we would all go that little bit extra to get there and as long as it's in the ungraded condition you were after I know you'll never regret it. It's a much better place to be in than wishing you'd not let it pass and now you have pretty much done it (let's face it, who really wants to pay the going rate for Madine unless you come into a windfall).

It's a fantastic achievement and now you can think of another focus to give you sleepless nights about :lol:

I may be able to help you out with at least one of those items Mark :wink:

Wow guys, not been around since before Christmas and I come back on to a plethora of stunningness!!
Some amazing pieces, loving Fetts Harberts, Spoons Micro Falcon, Hoochs Stride Rites and Scottish Jedis Palitoys. My god man, you don't hang about!

Added another Speeder Bike to my focus the other day. Been after a Kenner version for ages with the cardboard insert rather than the plastic.

All for under £40 posted on eBay too !!

edd_jedi · Jan 12, 2017

Nice Speeder Bike, definitely one of my favourite boxes and figures/vehicles.
