So I'm now 3 20 backs down. The idea was to stop at 12 backs but the Star Wars logo and Palitoy are too good to resist. All reseals/ rebuilds but I love.them.

This is the last run!!! Many thanks to Ian and Mark for the hints...now I need to hide 5 more from the wife!!!

Looking good Lee! Off to a great start and hopefully it won't be too long before you complete your next run (just make sure you've got a few good hiding places from your wife :lol: ).

They look great mate, I'm 3 away ( but mine are Kenner Pali mixed)

There's something quite satisfying about putting together the run of reseals/ rebuilds call them rescues mate, as that's what's happening, component parts that would languish in drawers and boxes get a new lease of life on display and make you smile :D
Good luck with the search bud.
 
We're in direct competition now Lee! :D

I'm currently fighting a war on 3 fronts - 20 backs (only Power Droid so far), 30 backs (only need 6 to complete) and the 45a's (5 down so far) - basically I decided to do a debut run, minus the Zuckuss and Jedi cards, but I won't rule anything out.

I have to say that going down this route has really kept my passion for collecting alive recently. I'm finding it harder and harder to find stuff I need/want, but my Palitoy run has kept things going and I'm really enjoying it.

Good luck on the run mate, you're off to a great start and can't wait to see it complete in all its glory :)
 
Thanks chaps.

Mark, I'm collecting ESB aswell but not specifically. All of the 20 backs in the photo are repairs/rebuilds and as Mike said it brings life back to old pieces.

I've not enjoyed collecting as much as since I started these. It's just so rewarding and satisfying .
 
Picked up a battered DSD this week and repaired it. Not too shabby, but hey it's still an original card.

45a Dengar, bespin guard, TIE pilot, 4-lom and C-3PO

Think Steve Davies (on FB) has a DSD re-seal for sale. The 4-LOM should be relativey easy, the good thing about the 45a's is you can pick up MOCs for the same price as a re-seal in some instances.

I have recently added a Hammerhead and R5 to my 20 back run and a trade in the pipeline for a 45a Tie Pilot MOC.

It is a tough run to put together I agree Max, but hugely satisfying. I love looking at them on display, especially when they're all cased up :)

Nice one
 
These look fantastic Lee. You guys have inspired me to try this so if anyone has any spare original bubbles let me know.

Hopefully I can add a limelight like this in the future. Been on a bit of a break lately so will be good to get back into the hobby again.

Best,
Mark
