    Vectis Auction Tomorrow

    Yeah - there were a quite a few things that seemed to go for the bottom end of the valuation - when typically they go for well over. In the end I did win and they were quick taking the money :) - however, if it's like the auction I won before it could take many weeks to arrive :) Next action is...

    Vectis Auction Tomorrow

    You can, but they don't give you the result - but both still say I have the highest bid - so I assume I won them and then the invoices will sort out tomorrow - kinda thought I'd lose both - kinda hoped I'd lose one - overall a bit more than I planned to spend.... oh well.

    Vectis Auction Tomorrow

    Umm - missed my lots but got a feeling I won both..... I think you wait until the day is done and their backend sorts out the invoicing...... I was in on some EP1 accessory packs and the 3 Jedi Council Saga sets

    Vectis Auction Tomorrow

    OK - here we go again - I'm current bidding on 2 (modern pieces - I say modern but they're 20+ years old now :) ) - I suspect I won't win either, mostly because they are already at my max and far too many folks watching for more bids not to come in.... but I'll watch the days action with...

    Vectis Auction Tomorrow

    My Vectis lot arrived today (Quite a while after the auction) - but all good. I see the next SW auction is on the 21st October- I've got two bids in, both modern (SAGA and EP1) - nothing on the Vintage side for me (at a price I'd pay...), although a few nice bits.

    Poor R2

    To be honest I think there is a bit of a market for this stuff - think of all the vintage stuff you have (or have had) where one bit is broken or missing and you'd rather just find an original part to fix yours rather than buy a new one - it is a shame when you think of a complete toy being...

    Cheap cheap retro collection

    So annoyed by that having paid full price for mine - that said I may get a second box to open....

    Marvel Star Wars 1977

    Of the original topic - but yes - the Dark Horse comics were 100% better than what Marvel has put out the last few years. John Ostrander's Star Wars Republic (clone wars) is fantastic - as was Knights of the Old Republic from that era - Dark Times and Legacy were good, but the other two better...

    The LEGO Corner

    First of the sets built - I will say this - I think this is one of the most fun SW Lego builds I’ve had in ages - perfect size, build time (about an hour) - it looks great and the Darth Vader is hilarious… I would highly recommend getting this one.

    The LEGO Corner

    Nope, mines still in the box - I'll be building it with my youngest over the next few weeks - she is somewhat insistent on being involved - nice, but worrying as well. But first I need to clear some shelf space..... But that Gingerbread ATAT might not last the week - I'm itching to build it now :)

    The LEGO Corner

    Went to Southampton store for 9am - they were selling fast - the staff had thought they’d only shift half a dozen all day, but they’d shifted that number in 10mins of opening - so much so they were just stacking them behind the till to speed things up.

    Marvel Star Wars 1977

    It's been a long time since I read them - from memory the first dozen were just the retelling of a New Hope and then it lurches into new stories. Wasn't Jax introduced in the first 20 somewhere - Just finished watching the Lego Rebuild The Galaxy show and seeing Lego Jax made me laugh - that is...

    Marvel Star Wars 1977

    very much a comic reader here: I don't have the originals in their original weekly format - but when Marvel re-aquired the rights a few years back I bought their big classic HB omnibus' - in fact I now find Omnibus' are the best way to read comics. They also released Droids and Ewoks from the...

    The Mandalorian And Grogu - This time next year.......

    Watched it a few times now and still a little mixed. Overall the trailer doesn't have the same impact as say EP1 did back in 1999 - but it is a teaser, so lets see - I think part of that is the score - it just isn't JW.... There looks to be some cool moments here - the AT-AT sequence looks new...
