See what 2020 brings to the hunt lol.

Well, for the past few weeks I have been way to busy with work so little time to go hunting or time to myself in general to be honest..
However, I had a zip through a few charity shops and found a vintage white x-wing in French bi logo box.

The box has been abused and crushed and missing a side flap on each end and some tears here and there and the glue down the sides has dried up but I guess (not sure if ill do it yet) I could flat it out and try to give it back its shape. The xwing itself is in really good shape very little yellowing and the majority of the stickers are intact, sadly the battle damage stickers have started to peel off the ones underneath a little, a really good condition inner sleeve makes up for it though.

A little bonus though, tench coat Han solo sitting in the cockpit for some reason. Ill be needing one xwing gun though, anyone got one?

When I get a chance, ill stick some pics up.

Nice find, I love wild finds, makes collecting interesting and gives you a buzz

Here we go, I have carefully pealed off the crusty old tape that someone had used to keep the box together, miraculously the inner box is in really good shape.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

The X-wing came with Han, the others I found this morning 8)

 

[chrisfnx]

Nice charity shop find! It's surprising what you can get sometimes in charity shops

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Now I'm just waiting for something to go wrong, I did it again.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

This really is a true save, its not the best condition by far but its still attached and isn't coming out however its still delicate. I am undecided if I will be going to keep this one as its outside of my focus, not sure of the value of an ERG in this state or if anyone would be interested in it.

Regardless, rather pleased to save something 8)

It's a good honest piece and worthy of saving, if I had I would stick it in an acrylic case to preserve it

A mate of mine who owns a local shop for local people told me a regular of his went into the charity shop next door to his shop and found amongst a basket of various figures an Amanaman vintage figure...............50p !!!!!!!

Why do I never find such bargains
