a good question todo on the podcast swvr

why did they not use r2 shooting his saber out on the sail barge. why use the bunker scene???

That's a very good question. Hadn't thought about that at all..

Got this beautiful new Sigma item in for my collection!

Its the Yoda money box, complete with the rubber stopper on the base and the Sigma sticker on the reverse (which seems to often be missing)...

 

[user 5830]

There is a slight issue though...

wait for it...

seriously... hang on a few minutes...

Sometimes a moment of joy is preceded by something quit the opposite...

Yes indeed.. eBay strikes again...

Here we go..


Ready...

 

[user 5830]

Yep..

This is what I opened teh box to find.

an 8" ceramic money box, inside, guess what...

an 8" tall box!

Thankfully a lifetime of model making, preproduction mock-up tomfoolery at work and a set of citadel paints I've kinda rescued something worth displaying; you will now see why the first photo is only from the front! :lol:

To be fair to the lad, he sent a refund within a fe minutes, no quibble, no discussion, and he was also upset for his mistake.

 

[Cazza]

Oh my days!!! :roll: Good rescue job though Steve 8)

 

[Mini99]

Good reconstruction, but shame that it happened in the first place!

 

[apack7229]

Feel for you on that. Don't understand why people seem not to care what happens the item once the put it in a box. Great job fixing it up, it looks like new.

Love the Yoda great purchase, a real smash and grab.

Great repair job as well.

 

[spoons]

Ouch - but great repair job Steve!

Loads of variety these last few pages and really impressed with Poncho's Leia custom. Something very different and very vintage looking

Here is one of my recent Vectis buys (the others are in the £50 or less thread :mrgreen: )

Been after one of these for a while as they never seem to come up. A German GM stickered cloud car

 

[coomber75]

Love that cloud car!!
Went to echo picked up a few bits nice to see people again, went looking for greedo never expected the R2 but loved the look

 

[Mini99]

Looks like you had a great day!
Love the R2, think of me if you ever think of selling.

 

[Michael Sith]

Fantastic pick ups there, love the Cloud car and the R2 is ace

Here's my latest with a little poetic licence :lol:

I have wandered the jundland wastes for a number of years,
I slayed the krayt dragon and retrieved the pearl despite my fears,
I have searched in vain for what seems an age,
I have Learned to quell my anger and my rage,
It is time to find myself my true home,
Where amongst others I am not alone,
Where I can retire, rest and be cared for,
Where I have a home and wander no more,
Now I am content and in my place,
Look closely you may see a smile on my face.

 

[Michael Sith]

Home at last !

 

[Palifan]

Ha! Great poem Mike and that looks like a cracking Sand People all nicely tucked up where he belongs.

Happy days!

Ian

 

[chrisfnx]

[Plastikheld]

Look closely you may see a smile on my face.

Lovely pair rhyme poem ... as lovely as your new tusken home. Looks fantastic.

 

[Sparky P]

Hi guys.

For those of you not on fb I thought you might like to share my latest addition.

The price sticker has a massive pull for me as toy and hobby was where I sourced many of my Star Wars toys back in the day.

Thanks

Mark

 

[dianoga77]

Very nice 8) just shame the price sticker was not put top left corner :shock:

 

[Taffius]

Some additions to my loose and sub focus. Quantity not there but have some nice items.
Thanks to ones that sold to me. Very pleased and had a great time buying and talking to everyone.

 

[SOJ]

Finished my loose collection years ago, but have recently started up grading a few. The bling on my cloud security guards has always bothered me, but thanks to nick Rayner, no more.....

 

[coomber75]

Nice work on jawas taf I came back with a few but no moc

 

[tobeshadow]

Pleased to finally get the Rebel Command Center this weekend from a friend and fellow collector! I wasn't a fan of the card playsets growing up but really like them these days...there's a definite charm in the simple detail. My friend was also kind enough to pack it with some white polystyrene which works nicely as a surround for display, while the MLC-3 helps account for the track marks in the snow!!

 

[Taffius]

Nice work on jawas taf I came back with a few but no moc

It was you that everyone was telling me that was sweeping the place clean!
Cheers mate. I have a long journey ahead to match you or Nick but it might be fun on the way!

 

[edd_jedi]

Another Luke for my focus, first one for a while - Kenner 45 back. Must do a new group shot soon.

 

[Ruby2511]

Just been catching up with this topic and got to say some cracking pick ups guys

Got to get back on it myself :wink:

Bloody work getting in the way at the moment
