I swear I have seen this card multiple times over the years. Theres an AT-AT Commander just like it doing the tours.

I bought it a good year and a half ago from Jordan H when I was building a beater MOC run of the first 12. Tried to (unsuccessfully) remove some of the mold from it, and then sold it off soon thereafter. It's a hot potato!

Curious to see if Ross remembers what he paid to see if there has been much inflation on it. I know I paid £45, as did the guy I bought it from and that is precisely what I charged Chris for it.

Three absolute stunners in a row... Chewie, Han and Luke in various forms, almost a full set of heroes between you!

The holy trinity - cracking buys chaps!

Arrived home to find my first and second ever display bin headers. A brave new world for me

1st and 2nd issue Kenner die cast headers and a case thrown in too

Mr Spoons :shock:
I am loving the second series Die cast header.
I nearly bought Jim Stevensons a couple of years back when I last visited him.
Was holding back from asking his Son Andy about it since Jim got poorly but understand he has sold his example too.
I'm not having much luck locating one :roll:

Am absolutely loving seeing your two together, I am not jealous by any means sir :wink:

 

[PulsarP]

Andy, these are fantastic! As a display collector, I don't think there is much else that compares to the visual appeal of the store displays, especially the early, SW ANH ones with the black background and the iconic racetrack.

Couldn't agree more.

What are the little spots on the card is that a sign of dampness? Or some sort of fungus?

 

[SublevelStudios]

Looks like water damage or damp has got to the card - nice to see it survive though!

Andy, holy crap mate, those bin headers are the mutts nuts mate. Your die cast collection is really on another level now.

I believe I paid around $80 USD and sold it for around the same price. So it's actually been devalued since I owned it. Or because I owned it.

It was mold on it, and the litho loss was because I tried to remove the mold with a bit of water and unintentionally removed more litho than mold. Bad mistake.

That's very nearly £250 with the current exchange rate :lol:

nearly 2000 pages of LA and associated banter well done SWFUK!

andy - thats a ace piece to crown your die cast pieces! get that hanging above your diecasts it will look awesome 8)

one of my latest loose - a hard piece to find for sure - ive been looking for a couple of years now since i got a moulded legs han hoth.

this is a unusual piece as it has mixed limbs one moulded leg and one the normal painted leg which was cast in blue like the rest of the figure.

 

[spoons]

Nice one Chris - I've been looking for one of those for a long time too they are very hard to find!

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Andy, way to go with the bin headers. Bloody brilliant find. Chris, love the Han. I haven't got a mouldering legs one yet and one of each is very cool.

 

[scott82]

Nice find with the Han figure Chris, I've ever seen an odd legged one, very cool mate
