Latest Acquisitions

[Justin72]

Love the ESB Imperial cardbacks, always been top 20 figures for me.

Recent acquisition Palitoy Imperial Troop Transport.

I'm trying to add some unused vehicles, just things I like really, no specific line. Had one of these as a kid, this one came with the sound function not working but I've managed to repair it, and it reminds me of being 8 years old !

I don't think the bottom insert is supposed to be present in the Palitoy box? Is it for the Kenner issue? Either way it's helped preserve the shape.

Sorry about the pic quality, hope they interest someone

Transport is a beaut! 8)

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Wow that is stunning. Very jealous

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Pete's section on Thermos Flasks on the latest Vintage Rebellion Podcast inspired me with this latest pick up. Not sure if has the right lid or not but goes well with my little side focus

 

[Justin72]

Thanks for the kind words about the Transport, I'm really pleased with the vehicle and it's condition

Love the Yoda selection...

Those thermos bring back memories of my school packed lunches. I'm sure I've a Black Hole version squirrelled away somewhere.

I'm sure I've a Black Hole version squirrelled away somewhere.

Is it a metal or plastic one?
I would love to see pictures if you could.

It's definitely plastic, pretty sure it's white with a black cup top?

I'll search it out and pop a piccy up

Always nice to end the week with a little vintage in the post. Another complete figure off the list...
Nice mint, Taiwan, Ree Yees...

 

[theforceuk]

Nice Ree-Yees and love the Yoda flask, forgot about those style of flasks.

My bank balance doesn't

 

[Dublinjeff]

That Japanese poster is very cool 8)

 

[lejackal]

There's been a great variety of items recently

My latest pick up is this ESB-C Ugnaught baggie

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

I was lucky enough to pick-up two Spanish POCH figures off of eBay last week. A beautiful Apple green Yoda who definitely had a running with a soldering iron on his day of making! And an unusual Han Solo with a suspected short pour gammy right leg :lol:

 

[The89thchris]

I was at a show called "Toy Force" today in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. I'm working on a Canadian MOC Run, I've got about 50, give or take a couple of cardback variations. For whatever reason, this version of Klaatu on a Canadian card has been particularly elusive, at least over the last 4 years that I've been looking. I've seen it for sale once or twice but always for a much higher price than one can pay for a Klaatu and still like one's self.

The R2 game is Canadian, cereal insert sticker (1977) Canadian, US pack-in catalogue, and the earliest version of the sacred text.

 

[Dublinjeff]

Very nice, really cool selection of pieces there mate 8)

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Good pick-ups Chris. Well done on the Klaatu. Agree he's normally the sort you want to find on a "Vintage is still affordable £50 or less" thread :lol:

 

[Justin72]

Nice pickups all.

[mention]TheJabbaWookie[/mention] the POCH figures look great, love the apple green Yoda.

I've no real knowledge on POCH figures, are they all kind of scarred with melt marks from some manufacturing process??

I'll do some reading up on them, any good links that anyone would like to share?

The89thchris, great haul, the artwork on the game's lovely, is it a rare item? Never seen one before.

Latest ship to arrive...

I'm pleased with it, not too easy to find on a euro bi/tri logo box.

Is this classed as a euro box, bi or tri logo? It has licensing details on the box for Palitoy, Clipper, Meccano and PBP.

Any info's always appreciated

If you're not on Facebook try this - its a little out of date and sometimes messy but if you view it on desktop version this link has plenty of relevant stuff

If you're on FB head on over to Echo Base Vintage Variants and read up or ask around.

If you're like me and you can't beat a good book try and get hold of a copy of the Javier Ruilopez Made in Spain POCH book. It's beautifully designed and has loads of informative detail and pics.
