Not been anywhere, on call and moving my daughter into the new house she bought. Did buy a taun taun off ebay earlier if that counts Steve :lol: :lol: :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
 
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.

Cheers mate. Were they all from the same seller at the car boot sale?
 
Same chap that had the two carded figures, that was lucky in itself I left him my number in case he had anything else. Didn't honestly think anything would come of it. Sometimes it pays off, rare in this day and age but it doesnt hurt.

Cheers Steve, all markets die here, not even any indoor ones to satisfy us collectors. Just have to keep trawling the charity shops and antique shops over winter, happy hunting :D

Cheers mate, you too. Know what you mean there is a tabletop sale about 5 miles from me but the old money grabbing bat who runs it lets people in early for £5 so once, the regular people have got there all the good stuff has gone. Also that tosser I mentioned in another post sells there and he is one of the last people I want to see. God I hate that guy along with most of the people in the town.
 
Nothing for me last week, bootsales are over and next to nothing worth going to. sadly even though we have an abundance of antique shops here, all are very very highly over priced. heavily paint warn luke for the grand some of £30? yeah urrm no :lol:

Will just have to trawl charity shops from now on...
