A needle in a haystack!

Hi guys ,

Several years ago , I sold my collection of around 60 plus figures , which I had since I was a kid , I have regretted ever since . I sold them to a buyer called twbennett 2008 , I contacted him last night to find out if he still had some of them , he sold them on .

There was 2 figures I really wanted to get back , my darth vader, which was the 1st figure my dad bought me and a Han bespin which was the 2nd , darth had the slightly tilted head and his foot was curved in , Han had some paint rub on his chest

I know it's a long shot , but it's my best chance finding it here ,

Please contact me if you have bought any figures off this buyer

Thanks

In the words of a famous space smuggler - "Good luck......you're gonna need it!".
Would be a fantastic story, if you managed to track them down.

Wish I'd kept my childhood figures. Pretty sure I gave them away in the mid-80s.
The folly of youth!

Yes crazy I kept them for over 25 years then sold them .

Keeping figures crossed

Good luck with the hunt :wink:

I did the same in 2001, I bought my figures back from my little brother and the ones I could replace with a mint one I replaced and sold most of my old star wars childhood figures :roll: something I later regret

andy spoons mum had the right idea she covered his and his brother figures feet in gold and silver nail polish! genius 8)

'You ask the impossible'.

I've had thoughts about doing similar. I've dismissed those ideas as crazy though.

Thankfully a third of my figures were so knackered that I didn't sell them during my skint years. The worn ones were the favourites so I was saved by my own childhood messiness. I have my Darth Vader which my dad customized before we knew the meaning of the word. It's my most prized SW item in it's imitation-leather cape. A cold-hearted cynic would call it a repro item.

Really wish you luck with this quest, an insanely long shot to pull off, but wow.. just think if you did it...
Keep us all informed!
