The seller's story is the most shaky part of the equation for me. One of those horribly over elaborate 'yarns' where the teller peppers in a few specific details to try and sell it, but instantly triggers your bullshit detector. This backstory actually raises way more questions and makes me...

"What happens in Vegas..." Sadly, the truth of what happens in Vegas is fools get parted from their money.

I wanted to share some pics of the Battle of Hoth diorama that the Torquay Museum currently has on display. I know most collectors display their figures in a straight forward sort of way and let the object do the talking, but has anyone tried or been tempted to pose figures or playsets and 'do a...

Star Wars is coming to the 'English Riviera' on Saturday June 17th. They are having an opening event with the 501st in attendance, Star Wars virtual reality, Atari vintage arcade to game on, movie posters and memorabilia, and of course lots and lots of lovely vintage, including many rare and...

I'm so sorry Phil, I thought you were James Woolley!

Seahawks, those two tapes with that poster (love the $79 sticker) make up a great little group. Also spotted the Stereo logo in the bottom right of the VHS front cover looks rather like the ESB logo... I wonder if that's just coincidence.

Jim, the base is actually designed with cavities to hold many of the pieces like a chocolate gift box, you can see the arrangement from the photos below. Not everything has a space though, and I do like the idea of Jawa's carrying piece around too!

I've long thought that the Micro playsets would be the perfect candidates to enlarge up to the 3.75" scale... They'd be great fun as customs whilst also having the authenticity of the era and the Kenner design.

Craig, I can help you with this. Marler Haley sent out a pamphlet to theatres ahead of the double bill, explaining about accompanying promotional materials. The booklet is dated 29th April 1982 and it states that "Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back are back together at most theatres from May...

Finished listening now and another great episode. I like Steve Savoury's interview and hearing about some of the tantalising 'glimpses' of the ongoing production at Pinewood was cool to hear. The arcade machines was also welcome, as I've long wanted one of the sit down Atari cabinets... maybe...

Stu, you mentioned Han or Harn, and you'd think we all know how to pronounce the lead characters. But there is also Princess Lee-a or Princess Lay-a... I said Lee-a all through my childhood (which I think is probably wrong) but nowadays i'll alternate between both, and hopefully be right at...

I've never owned a prototype, but funnily enough it was a paint stripped C3PO that I naively thought might be a prototype that led me to first sign up for rebelscum forum to ask what it was. If I hadn't done that, then I'd likely never have joined this forum either and probably would have just...

Thanks mate, that's interesting. Normally Vectis set the estimates low to encourage bidders but I suspected they might have been a bit top heavy with the estimates / reserve on those...

Awful, the one I saw was for some rather desirable foreign cardbacks. It was posted across multiple facebook groups and of course the guy wanted to sell them internationally so multiple time zones too. Plus I guess the seller had declared it started and then gone to bed. No one bid, presumably...

Can anyone tell what 5312 went for, the poster acetate? Also, curious about all the costume test photos - did they sell?

Mark, great selection of blasters! What is the story with the purple backing for the 3 Position Laser Rifle? (I've only ever seen them with red backings before).

Haven't listened yet, but sad to hear Pete has left the crew. I met him briefly in Orlando and he was a great guy, and his humour will be missed. Can't you 'reseal' him back on the team? :D

I personally think the casting for an actor to play Anakin has been a poor choice, not once, not twice, but thrice. Jake Lloyd was way too cute and adorable to convey a child that might be conflicted between light and dark. Hayden Christensen was... well he was hamstrung by poor dialogue and...

There are lots of subtle Dengar variants but I think this one is my fave. The Made In ___ On with white face and dark body despite being one of the more commonly found PBP variants (in comparison to some of the other PBP figures). But it isn't easy to find mint, and I'd say worth more like £25 -...

I just had a look, I wasn't expecting low start to mean £600 - £800! Your definition of low start is a bit different to mine lol! I've just recently bought a set of 12 backs so I'm mostly watching as an observer, always more interesting to see auction outcomes rather than fixed price sales...
