Colin, Carl, Alisdair, Mike, Nick- fantastic buys! 8)

Andy, that crew gear is absolutely superb!!!

Haven't bought much at all lately, but pulled the trigger on this nice Palitoy ESB AT-AT. Have had a really nice bi-logo one since the mid-nineties, but as it's all about nostalgia for me, got the ESB one, as it's what I remember. I remember looking at them all longingly, stacked up on a plinth at the entrance of Cirencester Tesco Home and Wear. It was number 1 on my Christmas list 3 years in a row, but never got one.

That's excellent. A boxed at at was for me one of the best things you could get as a child and still has the same appeal now.

Hi mate, after listening to the podcast and seeing your comments on the Han Carbonite I just wanted to let you know that it's not one of the 1997 or so Illusive concept ones. The one you have is a custom build that has been doing.the rounds on Ebay for a good few years. Still a good piece for£250 though

Thanks for letting me know mate I new nothing about it before purchasing it. I just really liked it and after picking it up tried to find out some more information on them as we do.

Yes, one of a few bits. I got a Bossk candy head, loose AT-ST and an open bubble Palitoy Weequay as well. Did you go?

No, I've never been.
it's almost 4 hours away for me now, I will get to one but will have to stay the Friday night.
This one was a bit too close to the pandemic for me to be able to arrange that.
Glad that you had a great time.

been a while since I bought anything but managed to snag these bits yesterday... I fear I'm opening the rabbit hole of micro... and also any help on bits for my first go at making up a reseal on this bobba would be appreciated.. although I do love how whoever opened him originally then drew him on the space he left!!

That's some cracking items you have there and love the Droids R2 (as well as everything else lol). The Boba reseal might prove to be quite a tricky one as you're missing some of the litho to the right of where the bubble was and to do a really nice job you would need another card back to add this section. You could maybe go the custom route with that section though and even replace the bubble and nameplate from one of those kits that people sell but it's how original you want to display it.

Nothing's impossible though and I know @Michael Sith has done a lot of work with things like this so he might be able to point you in the right direction. You might however have no hope of not getting involved with some micro action, I know I tried to resist and failed horribly

What a collection…
Absolutely fantastic R2, I'm never in the right place to pick one of those up.
Enjoy the Micro Collection, a very underrated line.

 

[jedi_masters]

Loads of amazing new additions everyone. Love the crew outfit.

 

[coomber75]

thanks guts really chuffed, yep already got my eyes on more micro... also did think as card was so dodgy i may need to go custom as a place holder till i can get a better one... but also dont want to butcher a cardback with new... very conflicted

 

[Michael Sith]

Love that. X wing CaRK, really nice congrats

 

[Michael Sith]

That cardback f or the boba is a bit of a challenge for a reseal mate, would look good with an acrylic cardback display with the fig in front of it ( check out GW Acrylic)
I was really lucky that Ian (Palifan) helped me out for my 21 back run. Fett,

Hi was hoping someone could help with identifying what series these stickers are—-they were in a box of items from my childhood. Everything I am seeing online has a background around the sticker like in with card 10. Thanks!

Thanks mate- you're not wrong!

 

[Cazza]

Nice X-Wing Carl. That logo!

Lots of great stuff there, Phil!

Cool stickers jimmybond2.

 

[Alisdairmac]

By coincidence, to fit with this month's podcast, Mark Catley very kindly arranged to get this new Zealand version of the toltoys escape from death Star board game to me. As far as I can see the only difference from the Australian version is the address on the back.

i think I only have the Venezuelan version to go now to complete the run.

A couple of modest pickups yesterday.
Never had General Lando as a kid.
I promised myself that I wouldnt try chasing down the Last 17 that I dont have amongst my childhood collection because of the prices of some of them.
Incomplete Lando was a fair price, however.
Stormtrooper is whiter than my childhood figures, so had to get him.

Hi
Been a while. Some great stuff folks being picked up
Picked this up a good few months ago now but didnt add it on here.
Another favourite as a kid.
