Great i love finding loose figs in the charity shop nothing beats that feeling. All my bootsales are off now due to rain probably the same everywhere but i went over to SRP toy fair this morning and picked up this B wing £11 ok no canopy or guns but battery covers intact and the wings work cant complain.

Roll on the dry weather and open bootsales
Well done, you had better luck than I did at the SRP one that I went to.
All the luck of the draw!
 
It definitely is mate. I must have been too thirty events last year and any vintage star wars was scarce. But for me as like the rest its the hunt and the payoff is the pickup that eventually comes.
 
Same for me in the south 3 cancelled boot sales yesterday. Let's hope we dont get to many April showers.

Agree, was suppose to start last weekend but water logged. Least there are 2 events on this month (Collectobillia and Echo Base live).

Oh yes sorry forgot about that one, wouldn't mind giving that a try some time, Echo is my first time, a mate of mine Wayne is one of the Admins so should be ace.
 
Collectorabilia was fantastic today. The biggest and best ever highly recommended had a great day please see attached.

I really like the toy posters at the moment I'm hoping to pick one up tomorrow to frame. How much where the deathstar parts if you don't mind me asking.
