Very nice Leia, Bruce! Need one of those myself.

Just FYI, those images only load if the user is logged in to Rebel Scum. Might be better to attach them to your post.

Oops! Thanks!
Fixed it!

Some great items being picked up recently. I finally managed to get a dark brown hair Luke for a decent price. Quite difficult to find in ok condition

Indeed he is I paid £30 for mine about 4 years ago. And I thought that was expensive. Lovely variant. Sweet pickup man

After months of abstaining from making expensive purchases, this came across my path and I couldn't pass it up.
Been really wanting an example of this MOC for quite a while, a Palitoy 45 C Princess Leia Organa!

The card is slightly curved, with a small pinch on one corner of the bubble, other than that she looks great. I love seeing this figure on a ROTJ card with a CLEAR BUBBLE! She looks absolutely amazing to me.
Pop her in a GW Acrylic case and she looks even better!

Cheers to all!

Wow! Wow!! & Wow!!!

Many congrats.

A few new additions picked up over the last few months - apologies for the poor pictures - beautifully enhanced by some GW Acrylic.

Great additions. I agree on the cases. Class

Love the off the shoulder look she's got there.

I remember I was after a ROTJ MOC Leia for ages but she seems harder to find than on SW or ESB. You just never see her crop up on eBay on a ROTJ, at one point I had a couple of 12 backs but thats as rare as rocking horse ****.

Deffo in my top 3 wants and a lovely example.

Well, it's only taken 6 and a bit years... So pleased!

 

[stormcab]

I don't often get the chance to add to the @@ Driver focus these days as I'm only really looking for one thing (and this wasn't it!), so it's nice when something new crops up. Thanks to Paul for the heads up

WowZER! And the 30 back too. Yes to both of those please haha. Sorry what is the one you are after?

Thanks - actually the 30 back was the one I was after - I've had a very good month collecting wise.

Sweet Ackbar

 

[theforceuk]

Love the Ackbar MOC, very nice.

Been collecting again for about a month now and thought it worth showing where I'm at. I already owned all the MOC's apart from B Wing Pilot and the rather lovely Power Droid I received today off Scott (Clarkspie&chips), so they're both new.

All the rest are new additions, including the AT AT's feet just poking in from top of the frame. I also chucked the 6 beaters in to the shot that I'd bought for my little one (emperor is "evil lady" apparently, he's not having it that he's a bloke).

I initially bought a few loose graded as you can see but got a bit bored of them and quickly gravitated to loose with their original accessories (based on TIG anyway.. repro's are even more a pain in the ass than I remembered and anyone selling them using the fact "they even float" as a selling point should be done for counterfeiting, fraud and copyright in my opinion.. anyway I digress ).

I forgot how much this hobby can grip you its been a lot of fun getting back into it.

Thank you for your comments.

The German Parker 3pack is in really good condition. I purchased this separately. The mocs and vehicles were bought in the wild.

@Mr gudz and the force thank you

 

[edd_jedi]

Wow, I think you win Latest Acquisition of 2020 :lol: Amazing! It looks like some of the MOCs are opened? What's the story behind them? Will any be for sale?

Thank you edd

The bubbles are all cut open on the head in order to remove the figure. They were only put out to be displayed. All unplayed. Most of the cardbacks are general mills. I have bought them from a person who was the original owner. Figures and vehicles were bought in the 80s in Germany.

They were also 2 yps snowtrooper included with the action force gun as well as this snow white mint tie fighter and many more stuff

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Wow can't say I've ever seen a German POTF 3-pack before. Looks in great nic.

 

[Michael Sith]

Like them even better as cut bubbles, right up my street

They look fantastic on display, lovely snowies as well ( YPS)

They will look superb on display congratulations again
