Latest Acquisitions

[Mini99]

All gone a bit Japanese for me. I've finished my Takara Wood Set run and ended up with a spare TIE

Interesting pieces but not to everyone's tastes (hence the spare)

I think that these are great, I bought a modern R2D2 the other week which is in the same vein.
I see that the TIE is already for sale, good luck with it.

I think they are wicked, nice one!

 

[spoons]

Thanks both. The TIE is up on DOND. I've only ever seen three and I own two of them

Had my eye on the Landspeeder and X Wing for a while and was offered the TIE with no extra postage. Assumed I could move it on at cost but not so sure now

look cool spoons i had my eyes on them for a bit then stopped myself otherwise id be mirroring your collecting habbit lol

 

[AndyPreston]

Congratulations Andy, that's an awesome run. Love these, it doesn't get much more quirky! Can't be many of them around.

 

[Michael Sith]

Great pieces and thin on the ground, love the X Wing

 

[Joss]

Finally a vintage bargain. The lot for £2, had to give them really good a clean but some nice parts to upgrade some of my poorer condition items.

Got myself a lovely Yak and a green snake Yoda

 

[Michael Sith]

Nice Yak and Yoda, that Leia looks a beauty as well 8)

Hi everyone. Just wanted to share my latest pickup with you.

Hi mate,

many many congrats on finally getting the Ben-and a virtually mint example no less :shock: Anyone who is seriously involved knows how tough a 12 back Palitoy Ben is to find today and to find a near perfect one we r talking toy gold :!:
Makes me wish I still had my mint example

What a way to complete your 12 back set 8)

Well it has certainly been a crazy year for all of us what with COVID-19, lockdown and furlough etc :!:
It has also been a crazy one for me regarding vintage SW as yesterday I received the last MOC I have been missing for a long time to complete the Palitoy full historic production run of Luke Skywalker X-Wing Fighter Pilot :!:
Probably a surprise to many is that the two MOCs I had been missing for years were both ROTJ examples; 45C & the 65 back :!: They have been tougher to find than any 12 back so I was amazed to secure the 65 back on the wkend and the 45C late last month :!: It doesn't rain, it pours

Many thanks to "Thecardbackkid"

First vintage SW I've bought in about 8 years ...

I finally bought a display cabinet to house the 5 MOC's I hadn't sold off from my old collection and have this week added the loose graded landos and the B-Wing Pilot MOC. I have a loose graded Wicket, Ree Yees, Han Bespin in the post along with an At-At on the way too.. making up for lost time

I'm sure that collection will grow quickly to fill that cabinet, really nice Luke.

Thanks, I've already prepped the wife to expect another cabinet. That room is mine to be fair.. so she gets final say through the rest of the house.
