Ah mate, you may well have done! I sold the last 17 to him in spring of '97 (it was to pay for a roadtrip in the US, that's why I can date it), so you may well have picked up some :D Thinking about it, I reckon I sold him my complete loose run, not just my L17, because I got £700 for the lot and...

All true, mate. I'm not collecting VSW at the moment and haven't done since about 2020 when I sold up due to crazy price increases and need for cash for a move. I've got numerous other hobbies that keep me busy including comics, classic cars, and comic artwork. I still follow the British miltary...

Was that at 75 Renshaw Street? He always had some good stuff in. In the 90s when I was buying and selling VSW at the weekends to support a beer habit I sold him a set of L17. There was a small shopping centre/arcade on the a corner of the east side of Bold Street, too, but I can't even find the...

It's been a long time since I posted, but this is too good to miss :) This has answered a couple of questions that I first asked (myself, I do that a lot) 6 years ago. I'd started cataloguing all the various different Star Wars related adverts in Marvel UK comics. It wasn't even lock down, I...

When I think of Star Wars figures and some of the Games Workshop boardgames I had as a kid I agree. But then when I look at other toys of the 80s I had like Mr. Frosty which took me all of 90 secs to figure out was a load of crap or Subutteo (I hated football as a kid and don't like it much more...

Great Jawa, Carl. Super buy. I don’t think I’ve added anything here for over a year. A house move promoted a massive sell-off of MOCs and left me with my boxed vehicles only. I’ve been slowly putting together a mint unused (but opened) run over time. It’s coming along nicely. This is my latest...

They're odd. If they were something to do with store returns, then why not put them on the box so they were obvious? Quality control makes no sense for the same reason. I doubt they're a more obscure version of the "packer" slip, either. Thinking more about store returns, however, a couple of...

That’s the best Christmas story since Scrooged. Bloody brilliant. Worthy of it’s own pedestal and display case, I reckon! Oh, and I’d be striking my cousin off my Christmas card list for sure. What a git!

That's brilliant. That really does put it in a new light for me, too. They usually look like manky MOCs. I don't recall the actual buying of Ackbar back in the day but I have clear flashes of memory of the cardback, the colour of the background, the feel of the figure when pulling it off the...

He never went away. Bought a few things off him over the past 6 years, last two being mint pop-up R2s on Trilogo. 2-3 years ago his prices were about right but they've been on the high side since then. He wouldn't dare sell any more of his post-factory assembled pieces anymore, so there's no...

Now that is cool. Kenner box, Palitoy sticker and Meccano label over the top. I have an Ewok Glider: Kenner box, Palitoy sticker and an Italian sticker over the top. These things were well travelled. Poncho, that's a great score from eBay! There are still bargains out there. I was chatting to...

AT-AT is always a great item, love. There were some lovely Forest Rangers at the last C&T auction. Scary prices! Seen quite a few about in the last couple of months but it is most certainly on my wants list and that is a stunning example. Lovely addition :)

Ridiculously generous. Something I will find a way of paying it forward. The stand is one of three made by someone in around 2016. I bought it from a fellow forum member at Farthest From as they were only about for a short time. The others are one for Landspeeder and one for the Speeder Bike.

Once again SWFUK leads the charge in gorgeous new SW acquisitions. The last couple of pages alone: PBP AT-AT Driver, yoghurt store display poster (no idea they even existed, congrats Andy, awesome find) and a super example of a solid belly Palitoy Taun-Taun box. Brilliant. People never cease...

Wouldn't want to show you up, Stuart Skinner. It's not fair. Perhaps we could do one titled "Five Minute Focus" :p

Wow. Never ceases to amaze me the variety of pieces that turn up here. From beautiful DV Star Destroyer playsets to brilliant sets of bizarre stickers. Too much to mention but great to see, guys. That Biker Scout on Palitoy 65 quins and your Trilogo R5, lejackal are my two personal favourites...

Well done mate. Amazing find. I've ha T+H as a saved search for a couple of years now and nothing, not a sausage, has popped up. Great find and goes to show you can't beat good old perseverance.

Where did you manage to bag this?? Been searching for a couple of years now and still no joy. Great pick up. Not. Jealous. At. All. :mrgreen:

Luke Bespin was not a worthy winner. Anakin for the win.

I feel short changed. I don't seem to have the promised pink dildo. I guess, arguably, Stuart Skinner is a fair substitute.
