Hi Russ, indeed that's the plan. A couple of stalls had SW one had a box of figures a few vintage but all beater Jedi figures like Nikto Nien Nunb etc nothing exciting, wanting 5-6 each though no way. Had some loose modern but again 3-5 each. Another had 2 mini riggs loose but £6 each draw the line somewhere. You picked anything up recently?

Only those 4 figures the other week, managed to bag a vintage snake and belt from ebay to complete my loose yoda.

Nice Yoda, good fun completing him on ebay!

Cheers, it was fun. The cane I have had for years, it fell out of an old ship I used to have, so saved it until a yoda came along so saved a wedge of cash their

Not sure if anyone can see anything but picked this up Wednesday. He was in a bucket of bits from a regular seller who does house clearances. All his stuff just comes straight from the houses he clears to the carboot, he is full of it( that is a rare....) but he has some good items sometimes.
Not sure if they were going for Anakin Skywalker or Dave Prowse

Sounds great to me mate.

This week again slim pickings fairly large but not much to buy.

 

[jayjedi]

Nice haul Steve, same here today as large turnout but poor quality. Its not just today, it seems to be a bit of a trend this year, plenty of people selling but nowhere near the amount of quality items as previous years. Clothes seem to be taking over and not sure if it due to the virus or physical items slowly being replaced by digital stuff(games, music, Etc.) now starting to take its toll.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Managed to visited two small ones here, utter crap. Why on earth do people sell used panties/bras and skid marked thongs at bootsales? :shock:

I did get a chance to drive a friends Austin K3 around the countryside and get covered in oil so that kept me smiling all day. :lol:

Austin K3 worth it for that at least. Agree some crap people sell is stupid.

Cheers mate, I agree completely.

Anyone else find anything?

 

[StarWarsFan]

Almost the weekend again, can you believe it.

 

[jayjedi]

Yeah this week has flown by, there is a car boot today but it is going to be so hot and I have to queue up an hour before it opens, in a shade less carpark so giving it a miss today. There is a limit on how many people can enter, so it gets very busy, I went Wednesday, there must have been 60 stalls and all I bought was two pounds worth of DVD' for the kids and 3 thunderbirds ships. It is a ****** system if you are just buying as sellers get in at 11.00 am and then buyers are allowed in at 12.00pm so anything great is usually scooped up before we get in. I could chuck some DVD's and a table in the car but being there nearly 4 hours just to have a look round early( you are not allowed to leave until 2.00pm and sellers arrive and queue themselves from about 10.00am onwards) is not practical at the moment. I will wait until Sunday and hope for a good day.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Nothing near me that is worth going to yet sadly unless I want to drive out to some small ones that are just not worth the time of day and to pay to get in? No thanks..... :roll:

Nothing great to add but nipped into town today and found this in cash converters, I'm trying not to get into Marvel as it would be yet another money sink but I wasn't going to leave him behind for £10. I gave my normal Friday Coffee and fish and chips a miss due to the massive queues so at least I came away with something. 8)

May or may not keep him but a space on the shelf will be made for now. :lol:

 

[jayjedi]

Very Nice 8)
