Nice PDT-8 [mention]Dr_Ball_MD[/mention] 8)

[mention]lejackal[/mention] is that a Solo cast/crew cap?

 

[lejackal]

[mention]Cazza[/mention] yes mate, I'll drop you a PM

Not posted on the LA for a while, but checked in every time I'm on, some cracking stuff guys.

Picked this up of a mate of mine who posted it up on a FB thread in a non-SW group, couldn't believe my eyes, especially when he knew I collected SW! Anyway, he'd been using in to store his model Humbrol paint pots as a kid and recently came across in in a box, and the pots inside had saved it from getting crushed. It's still in remarkable condition.

He got it from the local corner shop in Crewe at the time, now pride of place in my collection 8)

nicedisplay piece mark

 

[coomber75]

damn that cap is a stunner

 

[Cazza]

Agreed! An fantastic piece Carl 8)

Mark, that's a brilliant display- so glad you managed to get hold of it- sounds like it nearly slipped through your fingers!

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Great pick up Mark. Interesting little backstory / drama in these strange times.

 

[AndyPreston]

Mark, that's a stunning discovery - great to see that these finds are still out there! Congratulations mate.

This is my favourite find for a while, a bootleg Space Battle Target Game with obvious Star Wars influences. The box was really battered when I got it and I've had to do some restoration, but I'm really pleased with how it's come out.

 

[Plastikheld]

It never gets boring in this thread:
The Solo Cap is really, really nice imo.
The Eraser Box, my Lord, this is outstanding.
The Space Battle target game is also fantastic. The bootleg artworks are alwaygreat to see.

 

[Michael Sith]

Fantastic. Great hearing about something coming from an unexpected source as well.

 

[Alisdairmac]

I recently received this. Not the most interesting thing to look at perhaps but I find these shipping boxes great items.

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Wow. Never ceases to amaze me the variety of pieces that turn up here. From beautiful DV Star Destroyer playsets to brilliant sets of bizarre stickers. Too much to mention but great to see, guys. That Biker Scout on Palitoy 65 [mention]quins[/mention] and your Trilogo R5, [mention]lejackal[/mention] are my two personal favourites, but there's not in the last few pages I wouldn't love to add to my collection.

Goes without saying but the Helix eraser box is a stunning find with a great story, and Andy's bootleg game is brilliant.

Are you going to fill it now? Or I'd it already full?

 

[Pulsar]

Jeez not been on here for a while, what stunning items everyone has acquired recently 8)
I never get jealous with any piece somebody has or has recently received but my God Mark I'm not far off with that eraser box!! :shock: 8)

Congrats.

Regards
Paul

It would really have to be filled with sealed ones wouldn't it... So certainly won't be trying that any time soon.

 

[coomber75]

think my post got lost... latest 2 and first in a while trying not to buy in lockdown so people aren't having to post stuff... but damn sometimes it's too tempting!!

 

[theforceuk]

Wow! That is one mint R2 MOC. :shock: 8)

 

[Cazza]

Andy, absolutely love that space battle game- really, really cool.

Alisdair- good find on that shipping box.

Phil- love those MOCs- the R2 is a beaut!

[coomber75]

Andy did me proud on the r2!!

 

[MrGudz]

Picked up a few nice mini rigs. All sealed apart from the MTV-7 where the tape has dried on the top and split.

 

[MrGudz]

Cracking pick ups MrGudz, and all in lovely condition, I love a mini rig and have a few to get to finish off my loose collection.

Thanks for sharing

 

[Cazza]

Si, those mini-rigs are superb- lovely corners. Really like the John Menzies price sticker as well 8)

 

[MrGudz]

Just for you Andy

I've no idea where the sticker on the INT-4 is from.

 

[Cazza]

£1.75- those were the days!

They were indeed the days! Lovey mini riggs [mention]MrGudz[/mention] .

 

[cracatilla]

[mention]MrGudz[/mention]
I reckon that price sticker is from Makro wholesalers

 

[Cazza]

Completed my Palitoy 20-back run, thanks to Ian [mention]Palifan[/mention] , who sold me all the bits I needed to build a Power Droid MOC (figure, card, bubble & footer). The bubble was quite crushed, but managed to push most of the dings and dents out with the help of a hot water bath. It sealed back down pretty well. There is a cut in the back, so the figure can be removed, but it's not massively obvious when on display.

I never intended to complete this run, but it has just come together in the last few months
