A few bargains on eBay tonight....i managed to grab this for my focus for a great price:
It's an open bubble but i didnt pay much more than a good cardback would cost. It comes with the gun and footer too.

Loving the diecast and Ewoks, that beater is ace!
That's a brilliant catch, I would have gone for that myself had I seen it

I've deliberately avoided this page for the last 10 days because it would just tempt me to go out and find something when I should be doing the reverse.
Having now looked at the last few pages I have had a revelation: I get as much pleasure from seeing other people's purchases as making my own. I guess that's because a lot of stuff here isn't stuff I'd buy myself but stuff that I had never seen before or would want but want other things more, if you see what I mean?
Where to start?? Frank! Those baggies, man. I would consider selling your body to medical science or grow another set of whiskers and sell them to the next production of Sherlock Holmes in order to keep all those. They are brilliant. Who's have thought a simple orange sticker could make baggies so incredibly cool. That Fett is outstanding!
Ross, holy ****, man. I have heard about 12/32 backs but never seen one. And what a way to bust my cherry. Small head Han in gorgeous condition and nice little price sticker as a bonus. Just awesome.
Paul: great bottle caps. They're on my want list but I will take the lazy way and (when buying again) wait for a full set. They look cool. Subtle plug for Sheffield Wednesday in your photo, too
Rob, cracking 41 back, mate! Never seen a Leia Hoth on 41 before and it's more beautiful than I could have imagined. Love those little logos. Think you've helped me decide which MOCs I'm keeping
Chris: a MOC for under a tenner is impressive whatever shape it's in. That has a charm almost like no other.
Carl: Nice Diecast, mate. I got one away from finishing the set but never got them on display. Shame as they make great looking pieces dotted around on shelves.
Loving the Trilogo love going on! Great to see these cards growing in popularity. Not least because I need to sell mine They really are brilliant and do think of all cardbacks they are going to continue their rise in popularity over the coming years due to their quirky look, frailty and lovely clear bubbles.
Awesome run of POTF there. If those bubbles were as immune to yellowing as Trilogos that would have been my focus from the word go. Sure POTF cards lost the look of the first three card buts I think they were beautifully designed and the coins are just so cool.
Sorry if I missed anyone. So much cool stuff in one thread can be a test of anyone's mental skills!

My bid was well over what it went for
some of the other Palitoy mocs the seller had were reasonable too (LXW, Greedo, Stormie)Wasn't going to let this one get away

I know what you mean Simon regarding other people's purchases and collections, I've said exactly the same myself.
As for the bottle caps, I've owned only 3 for the last decade which were part of another toy lot but had to snag these. Now I'm after the excellent bottle top display to justify showing these, plus I reckon it'll make it easier knowing which ones I need..... hopefully :roll:
As for the Wednesday reference? Not sure what's in the pic so will have to check that out as quickly took the caps photo in my not too tidy shop.

Ah it's only a receipt for our tickets away to Reading, Simon. I was gonna meet you down there remember :wink:
No sensitive details are showing luckily :roll:
As I have missed out on a nice item this week I had some spare funds so needed a SW fix.
I have a nice collection of Clarks which I'm struggling to add to so purchased these unused Stride Rites.
Also pleased to snag this unused particular droid, been after one for years but most I've seen have been used and poor.
This looks a little off colour in the pic but he is minty, box isn't mint but in decent shape.

Great beater there Poncho. I have been tempted to try this route, but for the same reason I haven't bought some boxed vehicles, we live in a small place, so am trying to keep my collection small but impressive.
Scruffy - I can empathize with this. There are very few items I am actually after, but it's interesting seeing all the random stuff appear on here. There was a point last year where I wondered "am I desperate to buy this piece for me, or to show off on LA page?". That's certainly what is happening on FB. People spending many thousands for short spell on FB with "big shout out to xxxxxx for this awesome piece. Never thought I'd own one".
