Figure came back to me

[StarWarsFan]

A few months ago I purchased a number of vintage Star Wars figures from a car boot sale. One of them was a Royal Guard. It had bite marks in the head a loose right arm and a few marks on the legs. I sold it with a spare weapon I had. A few months later I purchased a job lot of figures from eBay. When they arrived the packaging had been reused and could make out the original senders address was the person who I sold the figure to. The person I bought the job lot from was a different person about 200 miles away from the guy I sold the figure to originally, amongst the figures was a Royal Guard and loan behold was the same one. Spooky lol.

Ah the rare bite mark headed ERG variant :wink:

Certainly a strange turn of events.

How peculiar. What are the chances?

What are the chances you should play the Lotto!

Pretty cool story. Since it wasn't a childhood figure, did getting it back carry any kind of nostalgia?

Lol was very peculiar was shocked, @theforceuk been doing the lotto for years most ever won was £70 but do keep trying. @Ian_C did feel a bit of nostalgia yer though it was the first figure to sell from the job lot I got that day and now its back with me for the record have resold it.

LOL, I just wondered, as their is such affection for childhood toys. Just curious if that carries over to toys you buy, resell, then re-acquire again. I guess it does to an extent.

Cheers.

When I first started collecting MOC's I was drawn towards a lot of the ones I got as a kid without evan realising it.
