I am also left handed but when I wear my watch it is also on my left arm

Nice coins Edd, i didn't manage to get to any of the panels as my wife wouldn't sit through them :roll:

I didn't buy this at CE but picked it up from the AFA stand. They did a nice job with the casing to stop it moving around as the First Shots can be a bit fragile.

A bit of an impulse buy as I've always wanted one but never seen one for sale that I could be sure was 100% genuine. Theres too many fakes on ebay. The last and only owner of this one was a former Kenner employee :wink: :D

That Vlix is terriffic mate.

I went on the Saturday, but didn't see half of what I wanted to. Just seemed far too busy to me and most of the vintage stuff appeared quite overpriced in my view. So I went again on Sunday. I just came away with a nice picture to frame. I stopped by the Palitoy Archive which I thought was great - but I didn't recognise anyone. Think I might have spotted Mr Palitoy - sorry I didn't say hi but I wasn't sure it was you. Also went to a few of the collector panels which were a highlight. I'm now not sure whether to try to collect the rest of the coins, or just sell the ones I have..... Also have a couple of duplicate coins that I may consider swapping - I will post in the swap forum if so.

I know there's loads of threads about CE already, but I thought it would be good to see what each other picked up. So here's my little lot:

As you can see I got an esb 48b back Luke Bespin (I think this is quite rare, you don't usually see ones this late with blonde hair?) a saga vintage style one, and 2 of the medallions (Luke and R2-D2.) I was quite impressed with what was on offer, even if most of it was over-priced.

That was one of the only vintage MOC figures I would've bought (if I hadn't been so skint lately) :)

Think it was up at Ã'£185 on the Friday :D

On another note I just sold my used friday pass for 15 quid

some ppl buy any ole **** lol

I know!! I just sold one of mine for the same. I thought I'd give it a go as I was just going to chuck it out otherwise. WTF is going on?? :shock:
I wish now i had asked for everyones as they left the event :) I was only checking ebay for celebration europe stuff
and see a couple had bids of nearly 20 quid and I couldnt believe it and so i thought i would give it a go and it sold within 5 minutes but suprisingly not to an american but someone who lived in london who could have just gone to the event themselves

it sure was a get quick rich event for freebies and used bits and bobs :)

only thing I regret is ripping my all my post cards up or writing on them as see some sold for a tenner each !

that is a cracking buy matey the holy grail piece but
is that the right gun with it???

have a look at this photo

I wonder if the first shot came with a different gun as opposed to a production model. It does look a great piece though.

The Glasslite version came with a different gun which is really hard to find apparently (I think its a black snowtrooper gun). This is the Kenner First Shot which was never actually released. The colours are slightly different (brighter) than the Glasslite and theres blue paint on the boots. The gun intended for release with it was the AT-AT drivers gun. I think there is only one sealed carded example (a mock-up) which James Gallo in the US has 8)
