Well here is my latest pic up. Real nice condition bubble.
Discovering a bit of love for original SW characters on later cards-which is a change for me usually being a debut MOC/MIB collector :!:

A Gem !!! :shock:

 

[Palifan]

Wow that Tri Han is something else, don't think I've ever seen a such tidy bubble on this series.

I can see why you were tempted and fantastic edition to the collection

Wow that Tri Han is a gem, more mint that a TT! :shock:

 

[chrisfnx]

Very nice tie fighter spoons, impressive! immaculate tri han, looks case fresh!

 

[Robstyley]

Some stunning items on the last few pages lads. Love this thread, don't post much but it's always a good read. You never know what you're going to see!

 

[chipsteak]

This bit of old paper refers to Star wars, 80s era Blackpool attractions and John Menzies. I'm delighted.

 

[theforceuk]

That's a really cool poster, anyone else think 2nd and 3rd prizes are better than first. :lol:

 

[SublevelStudios]

:shock: :shock: :shock:
That Menzies poster is really cool!

Funny you should say that, I was think the same and then read your post.

 

[chipsteak]

Haha. I loved Blackpool in1983 so I'm having none of this.

It's not a poster, I'm afraid. It's merely a flyer.

 

[palitoyjunky]

Core lovin that poster 8)

 

[Seahawks]

"Livin' in a van down by the river."

My latest pickup is too cool for school. This was back in the day when vans were cool, not creepy or family transportation, just bad ass!

Love the artwork on these.

 

[spoons]

Vans are still cool - especially with those paint jobs!

 

[Dr_Ball_MD]

I now have one very happy pilot!

Just need to get those electrics working.

[PulsarP]

That's brilliant Mike, love that combination.


Shhhhhh....... don't let Gary see it :?

Ps. I'm sure I bought a lovely 12" Leia from you many years ago 8)
Recognise the name, it's very Strange
And that's definitely the first time you've heard that!





Go on.......humour me :roll:


Kind regards
Paul

 

[MikeStrange]

You shouldn't really talk to me because I'm a Stranger!!

I've still got the complete run of 12" Leias I was working on a couple of years ago. I just need to upgrade my Denys Fisher version to one with an unfolded flap.

 

[PulsarP]

Great to hear you've still got that run sir, was always jealous of your Takara version.
I've been lucky enough to pick up a nice DF since, if i ever move her on I'll give you first dibs :wink:

 

[hellhippie]

that's the best pick up ive seen in a long time

 

[coomber75]

loving the vans!!

 

[stormcab]

That's a proper blinder of a miscard. Must say they were lenient grading that bubble 75.

I thought the same. I wonder if the bubble has suffered since grading? I got it from Ireland so I highly doubt heat would have played on the bubble :lol:

 

[steve obi wan]

Great miscard !! :shock:

 

[chipsteak]

The vans are great. They're so wonderfully of their time.

 

[chrisfnx]

Some very nice pick ups, the vans are great, as is the miscard. Picked this luke up off here. I have been after a decent condition yellow hair luke bespin for ages. All the ones I have had have been quite worn. This has been opened from back, bubble still fine. I managed to re attach the blaster behind the original tape. One of my favourite cardbacks for sure.

 

[Seahawks]

Thanks fellas. I need to track down one of the rip cords to give the vans a test run.

[itfciain]

Some amazing additions on here for sure - great to see this thread still going strong. I have been on a bit of an enforced buying ban (that Celebration Stall + stock isn't cheap) - but couldn't really get away from buying this little chap - do love a card error. This came straight out of a packing case apparently so obviously escaped QC!

Goes together nicely with my Teebo

Chap also had this for sale so was rude not to buy him as he isn't the easiest to find - and we all love a good Bend-um

 

[bosk70]

Real nice items on here lately love the miscards and the error cards but the Bendem has it for me never managed to get that one years ago, still pick the odd one up now and then when I find them , don't know what it is about them I just love em

 

[stormcab]

Iain I have got to get me one of those cards with the bubble in the wrong place. They are so damn cool.

Just had the most amazing 2 days. A trilogo AT-AT Driver arrived on Wednesday, and This Palitoy Luke X-Wing 20 Back arrived today. The tri is ungraded, but it is utterly flawless except a little paint coming off the shoulder onto the inside of the bubble. It looks like it came out of the factory yesterday. I'd say the card has to be a 90, and the bubble & figure an 85. Had a bit of a dry year in 2016. I only collect MOCs, and I think I bought maybe 3-4. I've had some funds recently, and these 2 cards have been at the top of my want list for ages. I've been holding back to try and get one for a bargain, but hasn't happened, so paid what I think is still decent prices compared to recent sales. I can stop looking for these now and will clearly have to never upgrade them as this is as good a condition as you can get. You see these Luke X-Wings online, with decent hi-res photos, but until you see one, in this condition, in the flesh, it's on a different level. Can't stop looking at it.
