Well, finally got a day off and thought for some stupid reason that id try and venture off into town and do a much needed supply run. Very limited on what I could do but a charity shop came up top trumps and it made my day.

I didn't stop to open it, had a quick look around to see if I had missed anything and got the hell out of dodge. Inside was a grimy Hoth Luke and his weapon wedged inside.... :shock:


Very happy indeed, Not the mintest of boxes and the inner sleeve is missing (anyone got one?) however its clean all flaps present and still sealed on one end, worth getting an acrylic case for this bad boy and into the collection it will go.

That's a great find mate. Really happy for you.

It was in a pound bin box........Dont string me up just yet.

A reasonable donation was made though, even though i'm highly suspicious of a lot of charities (you'll know what I mean). Tracked down an insert, hope ill win that one but ill still be on the look out just I miss out.

Did Palitoy do a closed belly version? Might try and get one of each, well you have to really one for Luke and one for Han so it makes sense.

Sense he says :lol:

 

[Michael Sith]

oh wow back to the early eighties a pound bin thats amazing mate, what a find it jus shows whats still out there in the wild great story this well done mate

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Id of felt guilty for paying that.....

Luke is having a nice soak as he had what looked like brown enamel paint on him for some reason, luckily its pealing off though.

He has come up nice, I think the gunk was some sort of melted rubber/plastic that had dripped onto him in places as some enamal paints and I can only assume it would be Humbrol giving the time period would of eaten the paint underneath, well at least it has a tendency to do so.

Has this got to be one of the few toys aimed at children with a dead animal cut open? hmmm vivid. :lol:
