Off to Newquay this Easter for a long weekend break with the family
Does anyone know of any shops near selling vintage SW stuff?

There was a collectors shop in Megavissey that had some vintage in but it's a couple of years since I've been down there

Final Frontier in St Austell may have some in, their is also a Final Frontier in Plymouth which always has a phew bits in. Truro flea market used to have a vintage MOC seller, but I have not been for at least 6 years.

Have a great time anyway.

Down here in St. Ives at the minute....been looking round and all I've found is a shop in Penzance with vintage that's overpriced (£85 for a loose Luke FB!).

Didn't see anything in Truro when i was there last week. Was hoping for a few bootsales while i was here but they seem to happen more in the summer apparently.

No way, St Ives is my home town!

Space Pirate in Redruth, the guy who runs it sells vintage, he is a collector and has been in the game for literally donkeys years, he sells loose, some MOC and has a cabinet full of UKG/AFA if that is your thing.
There are also two other curiosity stores that have the usual loose Klaatu's etc.

Just visited the shop. Guy didnt have many good things to say about the forums (has been banned from EchoBase and others for U-Grading arguments apparently)

He had 1 cabinet with some loose beaters and some AFA loose figs in and a few loose mini-rigs....thats about it. Lots of modern stuff.

Hi name isn't Peter is it - some knobjockey was boasting about owning 350 Ugrades the other day

 

[robpmarsh]

that's him.....very quick to show me his U-graded stuff on his phone.

I almost had an argument myself with him when he said he'll always rip a figure of a beater card and send it off for grading (then I showed him some of my beater cards and he started backtracking)

Mentioned he had a U Grade facebook group that I could join....no thanks!
