Makes me even more gutted my bubble cracked in the post :( nice card Edd :D

Yes I was surprised to see yours was a Star Wars MOC, you don't see those early clear bubbles crack often, they are pretty sturdy. I'm pleased this one arrived safely!
I think because there was just brown paper losely packed around the bubble in a star case. When I send now I always create a careful padded protective case around the bubble, pad it evenly all around and double box as standard. It's too risky otherwise.

Nice one Edd.
Question for anyone, was there a case of these found in the last 10 years or so?
The reason for asking is that the one that I have is exactly the same, absolutely mint card and bubble but very yellow. I've also seen others since I bought mine that are in as good condition.
Just interested.

Two eBay purchase arrivals today. First up a piece for the vinyl collection, German story of Star Wars record. Got a sticker stuck to bottom left but couldn't leave this on eBay for under £2

That's great, I thought that I had seen all the Sigma items, but I never seen one of those.
Imagine having one as a kid, amazing.

Cricky Stuart you've been very busy!
Lovely pair of Jawas, even with the shaved POP that 12 back displays really well.

Just picked up this really nice Official SW Fan Club keychain circa 1978. I plan on using it for my car keys once I figure out a way to protect it to keep the acrylic from getting scratched up. Any ideas?

My latest acquisition is this Swedish ESB advert

20181220_074420.jpg

Was this off Facebook? I missed it by a few minutes, great looking advert and wasn't it said on the thread that this is the only known advert for Star Wars from Sweden to exist? Or have I made that up

Hi Stuart

yes it was, and yes the seller did say that.

I've asked some Swedish collectors in the Vintage Star Wars Paperwork and Instructions group on FB for clarification on this and this is apparently the only ad for figures in magazines. However.. in Swedish toy catalogues, sweepstake forms and distributor catalogues there are a few more. And also some in local newspapers, which are harder to obtain.
