My Vectis wins arrived today. My first ever. I bid on several items with either their previous lowest sale price, or on the really expensive ones, just a limit. I was both horrified and excited that I'd won 4. I couldn't believe I'd won the Bespin Luke as that had previously gone for triple what I paid. I bid half hoping I wouldn't win any. I just wanted to make sure I it wasn't a case of "OMFG, why didn't I at least bid as that went for a tiny amount".

Well opening the box this afternoon I was panicking to see what condition they were really in compared to the online photos. Well my god, they were mintier than mint. Even though I'd hammered my credit card, and know I'm now out of the collecting for the near future because of that, my heart was racing at how stunning they look. They are breathtaking in the flesh.

I'm sure stale bread and baked beans will taste like the finest haute cuisine knowing you have those 4, stormcab. Although I'm no advocate of spanking the CC for SW, in this case you have to consider that you would have been kicking yourself from this day forth had you not. Those 4 are lovely. The Tusken and Bespin Luke were absolute steals for what they went for. Very nice acquisitions.

And, regarding Yoda, Palitoy junky......oh yeah. Nuff said :D
 
I had a feeling that you picked up the Yoda 30 back, stunning moc and so glad that it was you who bagged it for your epic run :D

Over the moon for you,

Ian

I didn't even want to mention the one you need after the last one that sold but then again I'm not sure you thought you'd end up with a Yoda by the end of the year so anything's possible. I remember how quickly you managed to get your 20 back run up together (pretty sure it was 20 and not 12), and this 30 back run has come along almost as quickly, double impressive! At least if you ever decide you've enjoyed them enough the Jedi run will be even simpler to achieve :D
