Fantastic score on the Luke X wing Jon. Cracking piece which joins a very impressive 30 back collection 8)

But that Yoda, the sentimental feelings behind it and the incredibly kind gesture from Max...incredible. I don't think there are words that really describe the awesomeness of it! Well, awesomeness is one word I guess....but no others!!

So the one on the left my actual Yoda and cardback originally complete(thanks mum for continuously finding the cane somewhere on the floor during childhood play )
The one on the right a GIFT from Max Field :!:.........Yep I too was lost for words

....

I truly thank you my friend and will treasure it always.

A pleasure Jon. Glad you like it - and thanks again for shouting my curry!

Jon also picked up my two latest buys from Vectis, and forumite Jason delivered a third to the same curry night - so I came away with a 12bk Palitoy Stormtrooper, Jawa and Leia - completing my 12bk Palitoy run.

Leia 12bk - thanks Jason

Stormtrooper 12bk

Jawa 12bk (partial reseal, to be upgraded at some point - when the current Jawa hype has died back down)

A quick snap of the gang together (I think only Ben has been shown on this thread before):

 

[Andyclarke]

Good week for you Jon! What a nice story and well done to Max, warm fuzzy feeling alert!

 

[Andyclarke]

Thanks Mate! From Vader to Jawa in 14 months I think.

 

[palitoyjunky]

Max ur pick ups look awesome, the Leia is as good as I have seen for a long time 8) What a bargain on the Stormie and the Jawa looks MOC 8) The full set looks superb 8)

Well done and nice one Jason

Christ Max!

Next time I'll buy you a curry!

Top gesture!

Beauty 12 back run there Max, that's a proper accomplishment.

Palitoyjunky I would have thought you had a LXW 30 back? It's hard to keep up on here who has what focus/run near complete. Do you have a showcase?

Again with that 21 Back Fett, that is all manner of awesomeness. I know many dislike signatures, but come on, a 21 back for that price, missing rocket which makes it proper unique, and it has been touched by the man himself! Nuff said.

 

[sith-smith]

Some great buys there.

Feel I'm having a Palitoy overload!!

Steady on there mate that's a pretty rare 30 back with only 5/6 known :!: :lol:
I did showcase the first 10 30s but have yet to show my 2nd series as I'm missing one :x

Ah nice one. Shows what I know

 

[RifleSmile]

Max - that Leia is an absolute beaut!

 

[Cardbackkid]

Some really nice gear on here lately ! Those palitoy moc's are incredible ! Here's a few cardbacks I've picked up lately in order - meccano card logray , chewbacca 12/32 back , LXW 30bk , LXW 41bk , biker scout with kaybee sticker , RS 45c , RS 45bk , RS clipper and RS 30bk really chuffed with these

New addition: 30B Hoth Stormtrooper, AFA80

 

[Grant_C]

That Hothtrooper is amazing. That would be a centrepiece in my collection.

Here is a 1981 Yugoslavian Comic.

Find it really interesting as it was from behind the iron curtain. There is also a Disney Duck Tales strip as well. The rest of it has a real communist eastern Europe feel to it. I wonder what impact Star Wars had behind the Iron Curtain. Was Tito's Yugoslavia more open to pop culture from the West than the Soviet Union or China?

Big thanks to Ponchobelt for sending the link. Very unusual piece. Perhaps Eastern Block Star Wars Literature could be a new focus.

Great additions guys,
Seems like Palitoy is still as popular as ever Great gesture by Max aswell. That Boba MOC - very nice.

 

[stormcab]

Holy shmoly, more Palitoy goodness. Nice one Andy.
