As I haven't been here a while, I have acquired a few small vintage pickups recently - just couldn't leave them looking sorry for themselves and isolated. :lol:

Common, however the colour transformation / degradation I thought was interesting on a couple:

The 8D8 transformant overall is in really good condition however the torso is obvious but the moulding looks a lot clearer than my "normal" all white 8D8.

Leia poncho is also a curio as would of expected both legs to be the same.

I am 99.9% sure these are nothing special, however as I am still a noob, I could not show and tell these without observing the differences.

Those are quite impressive in their kitch ness. I've never got round to seeing to these films. Is there really a flying horse in them?
 
I loved both caravan of courage and the ewoks battle for endor when i was young we rented them continually from are local video shop in the day. But my opinion is if you didn't see them as a child you probably wouldn't like them with modern day eyes. I got them both on DVD about 5 years ago and after a re watch I still had the nostalgia but it wasn't how I remembered them.
 
Picked up these 2 cheeky chappies today just got to work how the big fella fits in

Nice round up Carl.
Where is Jez's to do his round up?
Busy fighting and keeping the peace you say..well that's ok then. :D

I'm not a loose collector, but like to put small loose runs together.
Today I completed my loose Luke run with a Luke battle poncho.
Let's see the Magnificent Seven then :mrgreen:
Will do after FF, as although I own the 7, unfortunately Luke Hoth is still with TK 7785.
I will be collecting this at FF in Dec and will get a picture up then. :D

As promised, [mention]lejackal[/mention] here is a picture of all my loose Lukes, that I completed with the Luke Battle poncho last month.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking that I need to swap that graded one for a mint loose one before My OCD kicks in. :roll:
