Still can't believe I have him and knowone else bid on it.
He's certainly A New Hope for me.
The grade wouldn't bother me the bubble looks really nice.

Yeah I watched it go without selling twice for a bit more than what I paid for it, then I got it on a ten day auction with only one bid! I saw that other one go for an astronomical amount a while back. I think the fact it's graded put some collectors of and the fact it's such a low grade put collectors who like graded of as well, but still must have slipped through the net.
I can't say this sort of thing never happens to me anymore. :lol:
Thanks for nice coments everyone.

Who's the Bossk!!
That's a awesome pick up mate. Tried for ages to find a reasonable priced example a few years back so I know the struggle and rarity of this bad boy.
Congrats mate and shows there's still some great deals and finds to be had.

I'm sure Jez will like this one 
Finally picked up a ROTJ Luke X-Wing. "Orange Luke" as I used to call him was my favourite figure as a kid, and I've always wanted to put this MOC run together but never got round to it. In fact the 21 back on the left has been in my collection for over 20 years, so it's been a long time coming.

Great LXW run Edd! Check your 6 for flyboy Running Stormtrooper's though: I hear there's one with a taste for those 
Amazing Bossk pick up. I know nothing at all about Kenner cards but it shouldn't amaze me that some debuts are so sort after as there seems to be hundreds of cardback variations!
Great R5 Rich. Have any ever been seen with that offer extension sticker on the front or was it always consigned to the back?
Lovely lot of loose variants. I'm avoiding the variant thing but it's all too easy to get just one or two.
I've got so much lovely vintage (and some modern) to post up but I'll stick with this chap for now. Not really at the stage of rebuilding my Trilogos after the sell off but this ugly one was too good to be missed. A handful of pounds over £200 on eBay and I'm a happy monkey. I wouldn't rush to grade him :lol:
Believe it or not it looked a whole lot worse until Edd talked me into in reversing the massive bubble concave with some gentle manipulation with sellotape. Took some nerve but I'm chuffed to bits with the result. Will have another go sometime as I'm certain I can do even better.

So many outstanding and wonderful pick-ups since I last looked in. Special mentions have to go to Steve for those records - really cool
Coomber for the die cast and the pal stormtrooper - that has to be one of the best ever card backs
Mark for those palitoy blasters, and of all palitoyjunkies additions the ROTJ Vader really gets the nostalgia going.
Another vote for carl's FX-7 - a beauty
and I'd not seen the duel at Death Star unboxed either. Brilliant Seahawks!
Nick's Sandperson - wow :shock:
Carl hasn't changed a bit in all those years :lol:
and Justin, i'd forgotten your user name and thought you had a landspeeder rival :lol: The first hsot looks great boxed up like that - great run
loads of other fantastic buys both rare and less rare but I dont have Jez life of luxury nor the time to list them all :wink:

Some fabulous pieces! Sandpeople is spectacular Nick. Also love the R5, Rich and Ed, that run is fantastic 8) Simon, great price on the Amanaman and good work with the tape- used duct tape a few times now- works really well, but you've got to have nerves of steel!
Got this fella the other day. Wanted one for a while, but prices seem to have gone up so much, especially for anything half decent. Was reasonably priced, so pulled the trigger. Sorry for the crappy pic...

Loving all the MOC pick ups lately, very nice Amanaman and ESB Vader. The Luke X-Wing run is superb. :shock: 8)

Thanks guys for the comments on the R5. I know of no examples where the sticker is on the front but I believe there are cardbacks where the sticker is printed. And therefore not a sticker I suppose :lol:
