Awesome pick ups everyone
Me being a Aussie and a Ewok lover I definitely needed this in the collection

How do you top an Ewok Bubble - I feel Hooch has just dropped the mic !

Anyway, this has been a bit of a grail of mine for a while - I got close to collecting the full Trilogo set and this chap was one of 5 I didn't have - I have sold a few since then so will need to have a count up to see what I am off now but still happy to have him. I owe thanks to Edd for pointing this one out to me - sourced fro Brian's Toys and described as a C5 then I wasn't too keen to start off with but it was a C5 because of ink touch up - which to be honest bothers me the least in terms of faults - upon arrival I can say I am very happy, really nice card and a decent bubble for a Trilogo - there is some small inking in one corner but hardly noticable - and it's not like I would have got it graded anyway!

Iain, that Luke is lovely. C5 my arse. Sadly highlights the "if I can't grade it, it's no good" mentality of some collectors. I would be pleased to have it in my collection.

Possibly the best parcel I've ever opened!
Afa80 Snowspeeder, the other two are just acrylic cases. The Hoth Ice Planet set is complete with inserts, and yes I built it!

Great Trilogo Iain - love it when you pick up something you've been after, I always assume you have everything you want so great to see that you still get the buzz of picking something up for your own collection.

Kieatky - wow, wow, wow - beautiful Falcon, bloody chuffed for you

Glad you finally got a Luke Hoth for a good price Iain, hope you aren't too far away from completing the set now that you've sold a few..time to finally finish it perhaps ;)

Love your Clipper score Peter! Thanks again for all your recent help too!

Loving the Falcon, Trilogo Luke Hoth, ESB boxed sets, ESB debut cards, Ewok oddities and to be fair everything!

Here's my latest courtesy of Stuart at Hoth Ice Planet Toys. Would like to have done an Andreg style unboxing but with the maximum security packaging it would have turned into a bit of a video nasty. Must be classed as Royal Mail proof, never mind bomb proof!

Scott, please, don't encourage others to show their obscure ewok items too :p
Before you know it this great forum will be flooded with all kind of craziness :D
