Cheers for the comments guys. Some more great pick ups, love the miscard, the R2 is very nice as is the Chewbacca! Good to see all those magazines together, great finds!

 

[Leon355]

Managed to get hold of these two very cool Vader case pins. An ESB & ROTJ version. Just need the ANH one to complete the set.

 

[tigerham]

So, saving for my holiday is going really well...

I've been after a nice alternative artwork 77 back Chewie for a while. Thanks to Mini99, who gave me the heads up, I managed to snag this beauty.

Chris, nice Chewy, great condition.

Some super pick ups lately, That Harbert is a cracker

This arrived today, I was looking for a 12 back with issues for my run, But this came up whilst trawling ebay , made and offer, accepted!

Tiny bit of work to do on it, but came in an acrylic case as well, bonus.

Happy with this fella

Mike, the R2 looks even better than I thought. Great pick up my friend.

Despite what certain Facebook groups would have you believe, Ebay still has plenty of good honest vintage, bargains to be had and decent sellers. Added two lovely boxes (and mint complete Speeder Bike) to my 'Special Buy' focus, both came in indestructible packaging. Also two Rebel Commandos and two Commanders, all card fresh mint and complete and all under £10 each posted.

 

[Mini99]

Nice ones Chris,
Particularly like the Speeder Bike.
I too had a bit of success from eBay, here's my VME 49p special offer.

That VME is all yours as soon as I find a MISB one without that "awful" 49p sticker on, I actually display it showing the opposite side!
My latest addition arrived this morning, I've been looking for a nice one of these for ages.
This is one MOC that I have never owned and so pleased to add this to me growing ESB Hoth shelf.
And no stickers in sight! :lol:

 

[Michael Sith]

Great pick ups

Congrats on the Luke Hoth, looks a cracker

 

[spoons]

Great variety of items this past week or so. Love the capo Jawa and Michael Sith has found himself the best vintage item IMO. Love the ESB R2, but still have never owned one.

Here's my latest - the pair to my Galaxy Ray Gun, the original Spanish version. Happy memories of holidays in Spain. These don't come up that often so amazing that one was on ebay the day I posted the other gun. Thanks to poncho for the shout out.

The pair of them for scale. Each gun is the size of a vintage figure

 

[Michael Sith]

They look great Spoons, didn't realise the scale, very cool.

The artwork is ace, and the ray guns hark back to the Flash Gordon type of thing

They really do look great Andy, I'm very surprised how small they are, but then again the text does day "mini" gun series and by the looks of it they were designed to go on a key ring.
Love the art work, such a blatant rip off of Star Wars, fantastic.

These are great pick ups Andy and I've never seen the Spanish version before so thanks for posting it up. I'm away at the moment and I went into a dollar store to see a pair of cowboy style cap guns packaged an Indiana Jones artwork box! Complete bootleg and the painted image was from Raiders with a blown up version of it on the back. For roughy £2 I was so tempted to get it but I don't really fancy trying to get anything even resembling a gun onto a plane. Shame as it's so bad that it's good!

Hi Ian,

If you want them, why not buy them and then simply post them back to your home? That way you won't have to worry about taking them onto a plane, plus you can guarantee that they will be very well packed?

Thanks all, I'm very pleased with them. And Jeremy that is a great idea. Ian those guns sound like they need to be bought!

So tempting and they are so crap they're good!

What a find. Yeah eBay is still excellent. Facebook can just bed overwhelming with ever growing number of groups, and people not updating sales posts. You DM them and get "already gone". Well then bloody update your post.

Originally I wasn't going to go to Chicago, and 5 day passes sold out so fast that I gave up all hope. I was contacted in January by a very good friend who had extra passes available, so I jumped at them.

Just back from Celebration Chicago with my newest pick up for the Leia focus! Been after this sticker variation for a while, a 12 back with a "collect all 32" sticker. On the back, you can tell this would be a 12B (by the length of the tip in the depiction of how to operate Luke's saber), but the sticker makes this a 12D on the Kellerman matrix.

Not in perfect condition, but at this point, they are turning up less and less as the years go by, so I'm happy to have this one in pretty decent shape. Pop it in a GW Acrylic case, and it displays great!

Great seeing you guys in Chicago! Really wish I had more time to chat! Guess I'll see everyone in Anaheim next year!
Cheers all!

Bruce

Nice transition Leia, great pick up. 8)

 

[SOJ]

It's been a while since bought anything vintage, been saving for Celebration the last 10 months so I could have a blow out while I was out there. Here are the results:

Just need a Ben Kenobi and R5D4 to complete my empire run again

And here's the swag I collected:

It's was a trip of a lifetime and so fantastic to have been able to share it with so many members on here. Great, great memories.

My celebration purchases in one shot. Had an amazing time

Your latest Leia is stunning, I've still yet to see one of these 12D in hand. One day!

And congratulations SOJ on the Vader and C3PO.

It feels like a gazillion years since I posted something up but I finally picked up a couple of variants I'd been searching for in the right condition at the right price. A PBP mint green Bum Face for the price of a regular Wally and a Molded Face Klaatu

Love the Klaatu and Walrus man, great photos as well.
