    Removing sticky residue

    Orange based adhesive cleaners are a safe way to remove sticky residue from plastic. Just be sure to avoid using anything that is solvent based. You can also get alcohol wipes which are used in the medical profession for removing adhesive residue from patients skin so it's a fairly gentle cleaner.

    Nice additions fellas, your Rebel Commando focus is coming along nicely Jeff. Here's my latest and although not toy related it's still a sweet item. This is a Style C Original Australian release cinema poster from 1977. Just need to frame up my ESB and Jedi daybills to go along with it. It's huge.

    Your worst pass-up

    Great idea for a thread Edd, mine's not in the same league as a MOC VCJ but it was a loose one for £150 back when I first joined on here. Another would be a set of GDE 12 backs with slit bubbles, I purchased the Luke but passed on a Stormie, Chewie, DSC and C3P0 for $60 each. I'm sure there's...

    I'd say the Pink Poncho probably worked in it's favour as to why it actually survived. You could imagine looking for a ponch Leia with her cool camo poncho and find one that was pink instead. They probably all became peg warmers.

    Box repair for Stretch Monster prior to sale?

    :shock: :o Hope you got a decent price for the 5yr old. Man that sucks but hard to be mad at a child opening what to them is just a cool toy. I'd probably sell as is with the story to go along with it. Nothing is going to change what's a happened and sticking the box back together wouldn't...

    Vintage memories....One for the Oddball Collector's

    Priceless,wish my parents had taken pics of me with my SW toys. I'm the youngest of two in our family and I guess the thrill of taking photos had worn off by the time I'd arrived. My sister used to tell me there weren't as many pics of me because I was adopted ( which wasn't true ) cruel bitch.

    Empire Strikes Back VHS covers...

    Awesome covers Jeff, have to agree the first one is my favourite Empire Artwork. I recently picked up an Aussie Daybill theatre poster with the same image. They really got the composition right on the old posters.

    Paypal not letting me send funds OS F&F payment

    Bugger you're having the same issue Iain, Hooch had been having similar trouble hence he's worked out a way around it. I had no trouble sending local F&F payments but when I tried to send in £ to the UK is when I had trouble. As you've said PP are no help at all.

    Paypal not letting me send funds OS F&F payment

    Yeah it's more than just the one transaction though mate this has been going on for close to a month, I've done that the other times to avoid missing the item but at this point I want to know why I'm being denied the option. It starts adding up every time you have to add the 4% when it shouldn't...
