walking through a localish town to me yesterday, walked past a cash for gold shop and outside was a cardboard box saying bargain box everything 50p, old electronic items, mugs and magazines, didnt really give it time of day but a passing glance down i spotted a lone action figures legs poking out underneath a china plate, those look like han hoth legs i thought..................

i was right mwahahaha

50p **** yeah! :D

I waltz in with a grin on my face handed over my 50p piece slapped it on the cash desk and with a hop and skip i was happy for the rest of the day. :D

it has no COO for those wandering
 
Brilliant for me the best latest acquisition I have seen in some time. You can keep all your AFA high end MOC's this is what its all about
 
Absolutely agree best latest pick up for ages...true vintage.

You can't beat the feeling when you pick up a loosey in this way :D
 
Excellent mate! Love knowing this stuff is still out there and can be found this way, gives you a warm fuzzy feeling...wait, that's something else :oops:

He looks in great condition too, and his legs a re a mustardy yellow colour so he's a nice variant!
 
The force has awoken, showering the world with vintage. This is just the beginning!!!!!
 
i found a klaatu a few months back in a charity shop for 50p, in god awful condition but i couldnt leave him there :lol:
 
Great story Poncho :mrgreen:

Even Klaatus need a home.

My friends in my profession would say "Road House"
That is all
 
thanks for the comments guys :) i doubt this will happen to me ever again it makes it a far better purchase than buying a loose figure on ebay any day.
 
It's a total buzz! Nice one bruvva

That's wicked mate, it's a right buzz to find a figure like that, he looks good too!

Happened to me once, a few years ago I found a proper minty white Stormtrooper in a second hand shop in Westcliff, Essex. Was just on a shelf, no price on it, said how much for this mate? One pound!

Kind of makes the figure special, that Han will stand out amongst the others, my Stormy does, love it :D
