I swear I have seen this card multiple times over the years. Theres an AT-AT Commander just like it doing the tours.

I believe I'm the current owner of the AT-AT Commander :lol:

What are the little spots on the card is that a sign of dampness? Or some sort of fungus?

 

[SublevelStudios]

Looks like water damage or damp has got to the card - nice to see it survive though!

Andy, holy crap mate, those bin headers are the mutts nuts mate. Your die cast collection is really on another level now.

 

[Ross_Barr]

Curious to see if Ross remembers what he paid to see if there has been much inflation on it. I know I paid £45, as did the guy I bought it from and that is precisely what I charged Chris for it.

I believe I paid around $80 USD and sold it for around the same price. So it's actually been devalued since I owned it. Or because I owned it.

It was mold on it, and the litho loss was because I tried to remove the mold with a bit of water and unintentionally removed more litho than mold. Bad mistake.

Three absolute stunners in a row... Chewie, Han and Luke in various forms, almost a full set of heroes between you!

The holy trinity - cracking buys chaps!

Arrived home to find my first and second ever display bin headers. A brave new world for me

Oh wow! Congrats Andy!!

That's very nearly £250 with the current exchange rate :lol:

nearly 2000 pages of LA and associated banter well done SWFUK!

andy - thats a ace piece to crown your die cast pieces! get that hanging above your diecasts it will look awesome 8)

one of my latest loose - a hard piece to find for sure - ive been looking for a couple of years now since i got a moulded legs han hoth.

this is a unusual piece as it has mixed limbs one moulded leg and one the normal painted leg which was cast in blue like the rest of the figure.

 

[spoons]

Nice one Chris - I've been looking for one of those for a long time too they are very hard to find!

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Andy, way to go with the bin headers. Bloody brilliant find. Chris, love the Han. I haven't got a mouldering legs one yet and one of each is very cool.

 

[scott82]

Nice find with the Han figure Chris, I've ever seen an odd legged one, very cool mate

 

[hellhippie]

beauty of a han chris

I've not posted in the LA thread for a while now (I haven't really had any new bits to show off), but I did picked up these two items...
I really only paid the price as if they were ungraded, so pretty chuffed with that as graded carries a pretty hefty premium for these.

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Damien, you've done well there if you've picked up an 85 graded Yak for loose money! Graded like that those things go for close to 300.

I picked these two up from eBay. They were on Buy It Nows and survived several hours before I bought them. How the Ugnaught made it more than 30 seconds I don't know, he's bit of a hard one to find on the 41 back. I wasn't going to go for Lobot as I already had a nice one although it did have a crease on one corner. Anyway, the price dropped dramatically overnight and it would have been rude not to.

The Ugnaught is a 41A cardback. It clearly sat underneath the Lobot in a box as the bubble is creased at the top and there's the indent on the back of the Lobot! The Lobot is a 41BN variations, which is nice as it turns out my other Lobot is a 41B. Comparing the two figures there are remarkable differences between the two which if you're interested then check out the thread I'll get around to starting when I get the chance (link to follow). Both cards are warped but will flatten out in some nice acrylic.

These two figures were clearly from the same source (both now via a house clearance guy and originally when sold) and have spent the last 30 years together. It may not come out in the photo below but those are ".20" price stickers. I'm guessing that meant they were 20p. I've never seen a cheaper figure. I feel fortunate to be able to keep them together still.

 

[Cardbackkid]

The lobot and ugnaught are absolute beauties ! 20p back in the day that's unbelievable!! 8)

 

[Dorsetmark]

Pair of palitoy beauties

Can't believe figures were ever 20p

 

[Cazza]

Very nice Pali's Simon 8)

 

[Richard_H]

[Bonsai_Tree_Ent]

[Cardbackkid]

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Can't beleive he's gone TBH, or Bowie

Those Palitoy's are the bollocks Simon, Uggy especially. They must have been on sale at that price, I always remember figures being at least £1.

That ESB Palitoy Ben CB is really nice too.

 

[lejackal]

2000 pages and 29991 posts, let's hope post 30000 is a good one, maybe Edd should have the honor?
Any, back to business.....here are two highlights from my recent Bossk pickups.
Firstly this Palitoy 30 back reseal from Simon;
View attachment 1
And secondly this placemat from Ebay which seems to be one of the few vintage oddball items out there for Bossk.

 

[Daz]

Amazing pieces everyone . Dont normally have anything to post ,but wanted to share these . My Spanish sticker album , and my first Helix purchase.

So if anyone has any foreign sticker albums or advice about them, would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers Daz

 

[PulsarP]

I just love Star Wars in Spanish 8)
Excellent item.

 

[SublevelStudios]

Agree with Paul there mate, that Spanish almbum looks the nuts.

The Helix case is IMO the rarer of the 2. I see 3 lighter versions for every one of the darker ones you have there mate. Not really worth more but a cool item to get. The collecting Helix road is long...and expensive.

 

[spoons]

Some great pieces for page 2000 and some great oddball items 8)

I have that mat too Carl - love it! And the Spanish album is very special Daz
