Latest Acquisitions

[lejackal]

After all the awesomeness a spot of light relief, thanks to leemcl I have this Wicket cardback to finish off my super rare Wicket/R2 miscard :lol:

 

[subzero]

Haha what a cool thing to own, I wonder what the backstory is of how it got miscarded, i'd love to know.

The factory worker distracted waffling ***** to another worker and grabbing the wrong figure?, or maybe a clueless worker new in the job?, or even someone doing it for a laugh, revenge on their boss because they hated their job??, the possibilities are endless

Looks like Lando is enjoying it :wink:

 

[Momouzoure]

Hey guys, my names Mike and I'm new to the forum.
Gave up collecting 12 years ago as all my Mocs were stolen when my parents house got burgled. Anyway I've recently started collecting again, look forward to sharing more pictures and maybe acquiring more for my collection from you

Now that is a modern collectible I can appreciate.

I clicked on the link to the website and unfortunately they are out of stock and doesn't look like they ship to the U.S.
Don't tease me like that!

And Lando looks a little creepy (and guilty) staring through the peg hole.

 

[lejackal]

Lando and the glory hole are fine, he's still smiling after all

 

[steve obi wan]

Awesome pick ups !!!!

Love the helix Carl !!

 

[subzero]

Nice collection of MOC's Momouzoure.

Sorry to hear about what happened to you years ago

 

[Sabreman]

Picked up a nice Zuckuss today from a local antiques shop as a little present to myself as it's my birthday today, plus a nice Retro magazine with a good selection of Retro eighties toys in it.

 

[Momouzoure]

Yeah I was pretty traumatised by the hole ordeal, back then I just mixed and matched but had some pretty special figures. My main focus is going to be ROTJ Mocs
I feel like a kiddy in a candy store at the minute, just can't help myself to the point I could be overspending on particular figures. I feel I got a good deal on Kenobi R2 and Wicket as the seller through in a free royal guard, for $300 I didn't think was too bad, no customs
Fee was a bonus. If anyone has any duplicates for sale that I don't have that would be great as I might get banned from eBay by the Mrs soon lol.

My first names Mike btw, some of the purchases and collections on hear... OH MY. For any Uk members a friend tagged me for a Bristol toy auction coming up end of the month could be of interest to some of you.

Had another arrival today, I'm not massively keen on graded items anymore but I thought this was quite nice for price

 

[Dublinjeff]

Latest Landspeeder pick up...Early release Kenner box (No LP logo). Speeder itself has a Pat.Pending stamp underneath...Further discussed on other thread.

Also finally got around to housing my one and only MOC in a GW case...

 

[apack7229]

Found this in a box of old magazines today and thought it was pretty cool.

Lovin that DS sharpener 8) can't wait to get my 40th Ann set :!:

They're not dolls, they are ACTION FIGURES!

Very cool magazine nonetheless. Love the photos.

you are not wrong - very nice

the latest pickups from the other guys are pretty cool too 8)

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

That Doll World magazine is cool. I need two: one to read and one to send to Lee Bullock :lol: Very cool indeed. Would love to read those articles.

Not the most interesting cardback but quite hard to find: AT-AT Commander on Palitoy 45b. He'll never set the world on fire in terms of excitement but he's a long way from common on this cardback and was a mere £47 on eBay. Stuck him in the MOCs under £50 thread too. Just don't tell the FB crew they're still out there, though.....

 

[subzero]

That's actually one of my favourite cardbacks haha eye of the beholder I suppose. Always loved the image of the AT-AT's on Hoth on that card.

Amazing!!!! price too well done!

I agree have always liked this figure and card, nice pickup, especially for £47!

 

[chrisfnx]

Some great pick ups guys. I've been looking for one of these for a long time. Not in his baggie, comes with everything else. The actual figure is in good condition too.

 

[coomber75]

[Hooch]

I have not had much arrive down under lately but finally get to add something to this thread

Picked this guy up today, took the kids into town for a bit, called in Costa etc just the usual. Called in a couple of charity shops to chance my arm and bingo. Paid a pound, yes I know not the best find but at least now he is part of my collection and will be cherished.
