Latest Acquisitions

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Haven't posted on hear for quite a while, great to see all the awesome pieces people are getting :D

Finally managed to get myself a ROTJ 'Toy+Hobby' poster. Only ever seen one before (on this thread of all places :lol: ). Ordered myself a nice frame to mount it. Toy + Hobby was the go to place when I was a kid in the 80's. Pretty sure the stores where only in the North West of England, spent many a Saturday in the shop drooling over all the toys I couldn't afford :cry:

Where did you manage to bag this?? Been searching for a couple of years now and still no joy. Great pick up. Not. Jealous. At. All.

Nice pick ups Jeff

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

My only two purchases since Echo.
Han Hoth with dark tan pants. Quite striking the difference between this variant and the normal Han Hoth.
And a PBP Dengar. He might not be as rare as a true pink painted face PBP Dengar but it was nice to pick up this pink over white variant under the radar off of eBay.

Recently repatriated from the colonies :D

Whaaaaat! That's incredible Carl.

 

[lejackal]

Thanks chaps, it's a reseal but it's lovely and has the added benefits of being kinder to my wallet AND stopping me from being single like I would be if I'd bought a factory sealed MOC :lol:

 

[Michael Sith]

Missed that Pali LFB Carl

You must be chuffed with that, it's a cracker, well done mate 8)

Thanks, I never thought I'd manage to get one myself either, stumbled across it on a random evil bay listing (was a job lot of figures with a couple of posters), made an offer and luckily managed to get it. It's all framed up now waiting to be wall mounted once I've got my room sorted out :D

That looks really good framed, another piece of history saved

Nice pick ups everyone, love the framed poster job and the Han Hoth varients.

Some amazing new acquisitions guys, here's my latest.
It's another addition to my R2 focus/obsession...
A large size "minty" white complete R2 with a Denys Fisher box and instructions, unfortunately no insert.
This looks like it has never been played with, the chrome is almost perfect.
The cellophane is split where his eye piece has moved against it over the years, which I believe is quite common.
I hope that the flap will straighten out in a GW case (on order).

Well done mate. Amazing find. I've ha T+H as a saved search for a couple of years now and nothing, not a sausage, has popped up. Great find and goes to show you can't beat good old perseverance.

Thanks for all the comments guys, really appreciated.
Well here he is after a little TLC.
Firstly I straighten the flap with steam as recommended by Edd in this post https://starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=36669&p=480945&hilit=Straighten#p480945 which worked better than I hoped.
Then I made a new red box inner insert and slipped that in.
And finally it was slipped into a GW case.
I'm really pleased with the result.

Lovely that Nick, the Denys Fisher one is a pretty tough one to find too :)

Great poster and the colours are still so vibrant.
This must have stuck away somewhere.

Do you know where this poster came from originally? Was it a pack in with a toy, or perhaps an item only shipped to shops for their displays, etc.?

As far as I'm aware it was exclusive to Germany (I bought it from a seller over there), all the text describing each toy is in German. Exactly how it was obtainable back in the day is a mystery to me though, I'm amazed it's still in great condition as the paper feels very thin and fragile.

It's also a wonderful pick-up, so congratulations once again.

Brilliant poster, Kieran 8)

My latest- very small crack in the top right of the bubble- thankfully not noticeable on display ;) Not bad for £300, but the fees are a killer :(

The second pic is with his other Palitoy 20-bk buddies- still a work in progress, but getting there!
