Latest Acquisitions

[walkie]

Two nice new additions to my PBP family...

PBP Tie Fighter Pilot Large Emblems/Scarred COO (on the right), standing next to my PBP AT-AT Emblems TFP. Very chuffed to find one in this condition with nearly all his emblems intact, as for those that don't know the white paint is very fragile. Both figures shown with the light grey PBP exclusive pilot blaster.

PBP Cloud Car Pilot White Face/Scarred COO (on the right), again excellent condition and standing next to my PBP pink face CCP. This one came via FB and was a welcome upgrade to my collection. Both figures shown with the PBP exclusive light grey guns, but only one comm link (but that's OK as they are pretty rare!!)

A bit off piste but a few of our older members might remember these. I acquired two lovely complete Weetabix card sets, Robin Hood from 1974 and Asterix from 1976. These came free in packets of Weetabix breakfast cereal. When I was a kid I used to love the free gifts in cereal packets.

Lovely looking Weetabix sheets

I remember the Asterix but not the Robin Hood ones and used to love all the freebies with cereal. I really remember having a Silver Shadow Rolls royce which was cut from the back of Weetabix as well as the classic Tom Baker Dr Who cards. Not sure what I kept hold of other than the complete set of Flash Gordon movie cards ( think they were from Weetabix), and all four Star Wars transfer sets with backdrops from Shreddies.

Ah, takes me back to when times were simpler

I think kids miss so much now.

I used to have them all. I had two older brothers who passed everything on to me so had all the Weetabix sets inc. both sets of Dr Who, Star Trek, Flash Gordon, Hanna Barbara, Disney. I also had the Shreddies Star Wars and Black Hole Shrinkie Dinks. Sold them all on eBay. There are a lot of collectors out there. Asterix was always my favourite.

Just dig your posts Walkie because of the quality and way you photograph your items

 

[db94]

Now that you mention it his pictures really are top quality -
Walkie you could set up a nice wee side business producing glamour shots of everyone's figures. We post them down and you produce a nice electronic portfolio. Hell you could do house calls and do partners at the same time :lol:

Some interesting stuff dropped through my door this week.

A nice Palitoy 65 back C-3PO. This one most certainly isn't a Toytoni and quite tough to find a genuine one.

Very nice Andy 8)

 

[threesheepio]

Some awesome pick-ups there.

12 back Stormtrooper is the mutt's nuts. That's my grail piece right there.

 

[Richard_H]

A Clipper R5 tri-logo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great, another one to hunt down.

 

[lejackal]

Just took delivery of this lovely 12a back Stormtrooper - he's had a couple of little scrapes in his time but I'm well chuffed with him!

Nice, is this the one from Stuart at hoth ice planet?

[Jimi Woolley]

Another new acquisition and another new Pop
Up R2!

Really pleased with him. Bit of a wave to the card, small litho rub & the usual yellow bubble but I think he displays really well.

The little focus is coming along nicely. Not going to be adding to it for a while.... proper skint now!

Nice

 

[laurencedyer]

Nice pop up fetish going on there Jimbo

 

[SublevelStudios]

Nice Jim, and nicely displayed.

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Saw you nab that one Jim, a great buy! I have to say I'm no droids fan but that is the one and only MOC I would love to pick up as a really funky R2 variant. That's a super focus you've got going there.

 

[DickieM]

Very nice Jim

I'm always in such awe on this thread. It makes me happy and sad at the same time :lol: :lol:
