Latest cardbacks. Thanks to Lars for a great trade on most of these.

Also included was this great China Raised Bar figure. Totally unexpected bonus!

This R/B China figure is further discussed on the Luke Farmboy reference thread.

Hi Jeff, I am glad you could use the cardbacks and the farmer luke :wink:

Matt lovin the mocs

Grinchy....display looks superb mate...lovin the Gunner well done the Mrs :wink:

Thanks to Andy...Chaz B...awesome package he sent to me today as a gift, what a top man...stoked

Hi Mike, wow that is some nice cardbacks, my favorites are the Droids cardbacks. They are pretty cool

Nice cardbacks guys and given that theme here is a new addition for me, never seen a top toys card in the flesh before and am really pleased with this one.

Hi Mate, wow that Top Toys vader cardbacks is fantastic 8)

Love those top toys cardbacks.

Picked up a 77 back for the focus.

Hi Benny, nice FX-7 Moc 8)

Here's my latest.

A UKG ESB stormtrooper from Iain on the forums. Love this first graded piece I've owned.

And then a gamble.

The Han Bespin is a 45 back German General Mills. Bought with full knowledge it could be a Toni. I was 50/50 when I purchased. Now I've got in hand and studied it, whilst referring to the threads on forums I'm feeling 80% certain it's not a Toni. Maybe wishful thinking.

I've posted a thread with some more detailed photos. Would love to here everyone's options on it.

Hi mate, wow that is some nice moc, I love the free 4-lom on the stormie moc 8) I hope the Solo is not a toni, good luck :wink:

Yet again some great pick ups, loving the selection of different card backs.

This is my latest (and will be for a while ), really pleased to have picked one of these up for my focus.

Stunning Haul Adam! :shock:

 

[Mr-shifter]

Picked up these guys recently. May now try and get the "easy" 15 of the last 17 on POTF cards:

Do I now have a focus character

 

[Jez]

Holy crap Adam and Mr Shifter!
What a bunch of beauties! Bravo


I am on cloud nine right now.
I've taken a couple of days leave to help out my 70 year old parents around the house (and loft),
I thought I may find an old Star Wars book, but I wasn't expecting to find some of my old figures!

I sold my collection when I bought a car, but these guys must have escaped the purge!

No VCJ but to say I'm exstatic is an understatement!
The first thing I saw at the back of the attic was my old ATST, then figure after figure!

First figure ever bought Luke FB with well wobbly head and no LS.
My last figure I bought was there; PD
Finally I found my Hoth Wampa hidden behind a box!

These are gonna have to get cleaned up and somehow added to my collection in their own special place.

 

[Michael Sith]

Adam...awesome pick ups mate, some beauties there
MR Shifter...super POTF last 17 s, looks like yo may have a thing for lando
Jez...agree ou have to have a special place or your childhood figs, in a way they are he ultimate grails

EP DT Luke Farmboy

It's not often I feel compelled to throw around platitudes but I love this piece - many congrats on the acquisition Aaron.

...so it's even more of a surprise that I'm going to do it again:

.....i saw this in a photo take at the time around 15 years ago then about two year later i saw a picture of it in a house in someones collection i could not tell if it was a child's collection or a collectors display then nothing till last week then it came up for sale and i knew what it was as soon as Mark told me about it , i had to have it , something i thought might have been lost or destroyed years ago but no it survived

its british its a promo item and its Palitoy , it dose not get any better than that for me , now to start to restore it to its former glory ....

.... enjoy and if anyone has photos of its early life i would love to see them thanks

jason

Superb shop display - one helluva restoration job required but this must have been a little boys wet dream around Xmas '85. I would imagine that John Lewis had it for the '85 Christmas sales push after it was used at the toyshow. Good luck restoring it to its former glory and I can't wait to see the end result.

Regards,
Christian
