Latest Acquisitions

More great pick ups !!!

 

[MarkG]

Some awesome pickups again guys... Been a bit lapse lately as awaiting a certain MOC to turn up.... however, I've been having a bit of spending spree around eBay & Farcebook.

First up a couple of snowspeeders as I've not owned one for a few years now. One of the right was from Facebook auction site, but has a repro string...so with that, another popped up on Facebook from our very own Carl (lejackal) which is fully original... cheers bud.

Also, you may see a few speeder bikes there too.. Top left is a gem (although not is the best condition) as it sports the price sticker of my favorite childhood toystore.. Gamleys.
The one below it was cheap (very cheap) on eBay.. and finally the one on the right is a Made In Macao variant, sadly the front is very slightly faded, but it takes my total of unique COOs up to 5. All are fully complete too !!

Nice focus Mark, the faded one actually looks pretty cool.
Here are my latest bits, 31 back Canadian Bossk cardback, ROTJ Palitoy/Meccano Cap-2 and 41 back Bossk beater

Some people really have no idea when it comes to packing stuff.... I think you did well to get it all off.

Cheers

I was holding out for a nice trilogo HH MOC to go with my loose but i saw this and like difference in production of the figure so i went for it!

A PBP Han hoth Pale Jacket / white face* packed on a Palitoy 65 back with large trilogo bubble with an imperial blaster. 8)

palitoy exported carbacks over europe we know. This was packed in spain hence the blaster and figure and sold through out Europe. interestingly this became one of the European overstock that Kaybee stores bought up as it has there price sticker on.

i love it!

huh pbp han hoth WTF? * i have uploaded a picture of my loose variation with a standard HH so you can see the difference (the jacket is cast in a different colour pale grey/violet, has more refined detail on jacket and of course its face is painted white with pink primer underneath. the gloves and scarf are painted a vibrant white apposed to cream on a regular HH) and COO is of course scarred.

Chris, that HH Palitoy 65 bk is the absolute dogs danglies. Not jealous at all. No way. No. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Carl, that is one dick seller. What makes someone protect the bubble at the cost of green masking tape all over the card?

 

[lejackal]

Fortunately the tape was on the card back and not the MOC, they taped the loose figure to it. Still a dick though

 

[robpmarsh]

bargain eBay find

 

[spoons]

Great stuff and what a beauty Chris!

Picked up some prints off Kim Simmons - the only way I'll ever own a Han Hoth hard copy!

 

[PulsarP]

That Lando card looks special
Loving the prints too, especially the die casts.

Here's a couple of Empire items I acquired last night over a couple of jars.
Many thanks to Mark for these.

PulsarP, lovely looking Empire die-cast-if only Palitoy did those :idea:

Die Cast ESB MOCs? Fwoooaaar!!! Seriously nice!

Just finished off a payment plan for these - some cracking additions to the DSD focus

You might recognise some of these from Jason Millers focus over on RS - it was broken up recently and although I missed out on most of the really good stuff then I was lucky to pick these up - I have also gone from having no DSD baggies to having 4 of them!

4 different types of baggie - need to check the baggie guide
ROTJ 65-A offerless
ROTJ 65-B offerless
ROTJ 65-B w/coin sticker
ROTJ 77-A w/coin sticker on back
ROTJ 77-A w/coin sticker
Various loose figures including a No COO
Danish POTF catalog 65
Various adverts with the DSD
POTF2 Death Star Droid sample/prototype w/Q.A.checkoff card!
Gigantics Mantis model (this was the set that the original prototype DSD bug head came from)

Need to get them all into some nice shiny new cases - and then do a group should - must have about 15 different MOCs now

Oh man! I sold Jason that DSD 77 back (with coin offer on back) to Jason years ago on RS! The figure was so mint and shiny! Didn't know he sold off. Glad it all went to a good home! Congrats, Iain!
