I wonder what I will find at the local car boot sale this year?

[StarWarsFan]

I did go to the Bath & West toy show last weekend which one seller had a lot of vintage SW there. There were a lot of complete loose figures and mocs and also boxed vehicles like the Falcon. Nothing really for me that I'm looking for but I did manage to complete my childhood BA with finding his tool kit and I also bought a couple of Thundercats loose figures that were at a reasonable price as well as picking up some Turtles for my lad who came with me and had a great time.

It's been a few years since I've been to this collectors fair and although there's always a lot of Dinky and Trains at these sort of shows there was a fair bit of vintage that was nice to see but nothing that I was really after.

Nice one Ian please post some pictures be great to see. Saw a video of that one on YouTube Toy Polloi posted it.

Hi Russ,

Yes did find a few good items, got a few instruction sheets, a few weapons, a few figures, 2 falcons one cost £2 had the canopy and all 3 legs nothing else though. Complete Die Cast DVTF and Complete DC XWING. Got a MF Training Ball for £5. Also got the gun part from the Ghostbusters Proton Pack for £5. Pair of DV TF Wings for £10. 3x MF Ramps for £5. Gutted missed a really nice Taiwan Boba Fett for £4, DV with cape and sabre with tip for £5 and a loose Luke Poncho for £5. Also that prat who I had a run in at the Car boot last year was there. Couldn't believe never seen him there before and 70 miles from home!

Sounds like you had some good finds, oddly enough I too keep bumping into a tactical wanabee 5.11 gash bag sporting lizard with a pungent smell that would put my ferret to shame..... six times in in two weeks all over the place :x

He literally follows me and watches everything I pick up, its odd.

Sorry to hear that mate. Know that feeling one of the dealers at Doncaster dose that follows and watches the stalls I go to really pisses me off.

 

[StarWarsFan]

will try to get some photos taken when I got in had it all over the living room. Though if the wife sees the room like this she will go mad so quickly tided it up.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Heh he is so aggressive, ill don a full NBC suit next time. Not sure what posses people to smell worse than a back end of a ducks arse but who knows, needs to invest some time in buying a bar of soap and not figures... :roll: :lol:

lol fair enough,

Found a chewie, and a bundle of weapons. May need a second opinion on if they are legit or not, not doubting the source but just feels to good to be true...

Nice one, please post a picture

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

They all look good to me, forgot to take a pic of vaders saber but I'm confident enough to say its a good one. Weapons themselves I'm always a bit dubious of, all look ok to me and all pass the float test but yes not even that is a sure way to tell with some of the most recent fakes.

Here goes,

They look pretty good to me also with no tell tell signs of repos that I can see. It is tricky with weapons as we all know but you can usually tell once they are in hand and the drop test for sound helps a bit as well as holding them up the a light to see what they look like.

great find if these are all legit.

[StarWarsFan]

Wow nice one mate thanks for sharing, great finds

 

[StarWarsFan]

Latest finds from a 2nd hand toy shop
