Amazed what this went for

£110 for a loose snowtrooper! I know its an AFA 90, but I have an AFA 90 carded ROTJ Palitoy Snowtrooper which I got for about £130 a year or two back. Had my eye on this one as I'd like to upgrade my AFA 85 loose, but I thought this was crazy money.

Haven't posted here in ages as I lost the collecting bug for a while... but it seems to be returning with a vengance! :shock:

 

[saber]

not into loose yet but I suppose the winning bidder may have took the AFA grading cost into account, if they are into the afa's it would save him the time and money in sending it off to get graded?

does look clean though

 

[plantman]

Thats an insane amount to pay for that figure!!!

i never seem to get those loose cannon bidders

 

[weasel]

Jesus, that is a hell of a lot for a figure that isn't exactly the hardest to come by!


BTW, good to see you back Rudyard! 8)

Cheers Weasel. I've kept an occasional eye on the boards from afar for a while, but to be honest I had lost the collecting bug. Glad I didn't sell any of my bits tho as I'm warming up again :twisted: . I've emigrated to sweden with the missus now and should hopefully have room enough for a 'SW cupboard' soon in our new place. Will post a few pics once I get it set-up.

That is a lot of money. I sold my ROTJ palitoy MOC AFA 90 for the same price about 6 month ago

 

[gustie]

looks like a TRI/YPS one

 

[cocofstar]

There are a lot of AFA90 and U90 loose collectors out there now, all prepared to pay a premium. I personally couldn't afford to be so picky :?

Sweden!?
NICE!
Although, maybe not such a good time to emigrate there as their banking system is even more ****ed than ours!
How's comes your out there now?

 

[Rudyard]

Yeah, things aren't great here either at the mo - plenty of folk losing jobs etc. My other half is Swedish, hence the move. Hoping to do a little more fishing, hiking etc and a little less stressing compared to my recent life in London. We'll see! :roll:
