Hi all. This is my first post on here. A newbie for this site but an old collector of SW bits. I bought a beautiful AFA85 graded 20 back 3PO off eBay the other day. Stunning condition. Recently started to sell off my collection to purchase carded SW bits however not sure if they should all be displayed or stored away to protect them. Always concerned that they shouldn't be exposed to too much humidity or natural light over time. Equally a shame not to show them all off too.
 
Nice pick ups guys. Managed to find this today at a carboot for a fiver, just luck that I was paying the guy for something else and saw it in a box of other stuff.

I just got this jc penny double pack of mini rigs today. Hopefully I can straighten it out a bit. Does anyone know what combinations the double packs came in?

My latest addition to my Rebel Commando focus, 65B Tsukuda Japanese import.

Secondly, an alt artwork AT-AT box. I've always preferred this box art to any other and it fits right in with my ROTJ/Endor focus. I've been after a decent one of these for a while (at a reasonable price). It unfortunately arrived with some damage not shown or described on the ebay listing, but the seller was good enough to give me an agreeable partial refund and it still displays very well.

Wonderful additions! Of course I'm partial to Rebel Commando, but also to the Tsukudas. Great stuff. I hope to add the ROTJ At-At to the focus some day. Keep up the good work with the focus
 
Great to see some bargains making up the thread here. Can't go wrong with a Rancor for a fiver and that's quite the haul for £50 :)

Spoons, those soundtracks look mint. If I had a quid for every well used soundtrack I had I'd have at least a tenner... But those look superb and that poster is cracking.
 
Never heard of those sears two packs before, nice score! Some great bargains too - a TIE Interceptor on its own for £50 would be enough of a good buy

And thanks Si, they both play flawlessly too

Dear god, who tortured Jabba, Luke , prune and the CCP, poor little :D fellows.

Do you need everything on there? I'm desperately looking for a Falcon chess table on the cheap.
 
Just got this as a bit of a stopgap until I can find a Palitoy one

Amazing boot fair find and Carl, nice Hoth Rebel 8)

Not bought much at all recently, but won this at the recent Astons auction after forgetting I'd bid on it. Was advertised as having a bubble lift at the bottom and some biro marks. Arrived this morning and I was very pleased to realise it was pencil and not biro. Went out and bought a new rubber and the pencil came off really well. There is just a faint imprint left.

The bubble only lifts a couple of mm at the bottom, so the figure and footer have never left the bubble. Not many large head Hans around on a Palitoy 12-back. VERY happy with him!

I was lucky to pick this up in a lot recently. Quite a rare card I believe? I'm not sure its a good idea to be starting a square cardback run though!

Nice one, probably worth three figures even in that condition
 
Cazza, fantastic find! A Palitoy 12 back large head Han is a real rarity in any condition, and that one's cleaned up a treat. Congratulations!
 
Wow, that large head Han is a find and a half, as Andy says, a rarity in any condition. Is the bubble on this different from the small head too?

Well done mate :)
 
From the car boot today.

NFS. I just received this beauty in the post today, it's a British pyjama top, with some stunning artwork. There's no label or trademark info other than a TM below the Star Wars logo, but it's likely that it was made for Marks & Spencer.

That is a stunning mini rig right there mate 8)
Have got one myself at UKG right now hoping for a top grade.

The large head Han has got to be one of the steals of the year :!: Yes I found the large head Han bubble was a bit wider than the small head bubble.
