Not really a recent acquisition, but I found this whilst rummaging through my old bedroom at my parents this evening:

It's from Topps' "Star Wars Galaxy Collector" magazine #4, issued in 1998.

You've done very well on those variants Poncho - the DBRS is a really cool variant and everyone and his brother is after the Tri Logo Fett's so financially - a good purchase

I think he was at the tailors having a new coat fitting.

 

[stormcab]

I wonder if they'd chuck you off the Great British Bake Off if you produced that

I like Joe's idea - but maybe it was left out as it was around the time it was transitioning from a vinyl cape to a cloth cape ?

Well I'm normally smiling when I post in this thread but not today.
Got the chance to buy one of my all time favourite toys last week - absolute gorgeous boxed Palitoy Han Solo Blaster.
Both blaster and box were stunning and couldn't wait for it too arrive.

Look what just got dropped off

Looks like the brain dead gorrilas had some fun with the "fragile" item

Sender had used 2 strong boxes and packaging was first class - **** knows what the hero's at Hermes did to squash it this much.
The beautiful Palitoy box is crushed (will add pictures later but I'm just too ****in pissed off just now)

Just got a text from my daughter who's coming home from her 1st foreign holiday to say her suitcase full of presents has been damaged - why can't folk paid to handle other peoples property not just make a little bit more of an effort and do their ****ing jobs properly.

Here's a picture from Primary School story book - We were planning to go through to Aberdeen to the "Big Toy shop" and as you can see I was super excited about getting my Han Blaster.

"I am going to get a Han Solo gun with a secret button it makes a noise when you press it"

That makes me sick DB, what a shame. I have to say I have found the Hermes service is pretty shoddy at the best of times but that makes my blood boil. And such a stunning piece as well.

 

[steve obi wan]

Complete arseholes :twisted:

 

[grinchy]

Damn sorry to see it arrived like that mate, you must be gutted, is there any chance the company will pay for the damage? little comfort i know

Total sympathy mate, that looks heartbreaking. Unfortunately that's modern society for you. The government doesn't give a **** about the lowly paid so the lowly paid in turn don't give a **** about anything.

What does pbp mean? Some sort of variant?
