I'm the same Del - until tonight. Just won me another Han Hoth 1st shot, but this time he's painted

Seriously Spoons, you "won" another on the bay?
Pics please 8)

Hi Marc, It was Daz's (Warrachupin) one he's been trying to shift for a while, my other 1st shot was an RS buy - so the 'won me another' refers to two 1st shots rather than two wins (if you get my drift) .

Although there is another (massively over priced) Han hoth 1st shot on the bay at the moment, to be 'won'

I'll be sure to post pics as soon as he arrives.

Bloody excellent Weaz.

Went a bit to mad Friday night and was well rough Saturday, but soon perked
up for Dizzy (awesme set, the crwd were going Bonkers). On Saturday saw the Script, Wombats, Ting Tings
Razorlight, Killers.

Then Sunday was cean Colour Scene, James Morrison, Athlete, Katie Perry, Elbow and then Snow Patrol
as Oasis pulled out.

Top weather, top, top totty

Are Ocean colour scene still going?
I thought they had split up, again, after their come back album bombed about 10 years ago.

Got some stuff today.

First is the Star Wars program that I got for $1 on ebay. I've wanted one of these for awhile. It will be fun to have flip through.

And here are the two coins I've been waiting the weekend for. I am having some problems with my scanner so I had to go with pictures for now. It took a few tries to get semi decent pics of them.

Edit: Changed to scans.

Hey Shawn glad that program arrived! Told you it would

Nice coins! You really are on the home straight with those now!

 

[weasel]

Good effort on the coins Shawn. Although I bet it's the hard to find (ie ****ing expensive) ones you got left?!

Yeah I'm glad the program made it. I sent the seller an email Friday and got a reply today that it was sent out Saturday. It made it here quite fast.

10 coins to go now.

Yes they are becoming harder to find as I go. I had money set aside for one right now, but this seller had a recent Kenner find and I figured I better go ahead and get another. I'll have it paid off by middle of next month though, so I thought it was worth it. The same seller has two more I need and luckily he got multiples of those too. Hopefully I can get a crack at them in another month or so.

Lovely coins mate, what do you have left to get?

Warrachupin is a west Australian? With Mark Salotti & Cam Owens that would make 3 "big" collectors all in one little city.

I just got an email from Daz saying he's lost interest so he's selling a few things. He used to be on these boards, but not so much any more - I think he's an ex-pat but could be wrong.

Yep Daz does now live in or near Perth, WA and he is definitely a Pom! (moved there approx 2-3 years ago) I've done a few bits of biz with him over the years and he's always been a really nice guy to talk to and deal with.

Congrats on the new purchase Andy and please pop up a pic once he has arrived.

Regards,
Christian

Thanks for the clarification Spoon, your Han Hoth run must be coming along very nice these days.

Daz is deffo a top bloke to deal with and to just generally shoot the **** with.

All too quiet on the LXW front

At long last I have something to add:

AFA 85 Palitoy/UHU MOC Bagged Teebo

Ever since having seen these UHU Ewoks in a discount supermarket in Napoli, Italy circa 1985-6 (my family is from there) I have always wanted to add one to my collection - now thanks to Joe Y on RS I have finally got one and I'm absolutely chuffed to pieces.

Ta,
Christian

Never seen one of those UHU cards - bizarre and very nice...

 

[plantman]

Very nice mate, i havent seen one AFA graded before.. :shock:

 

[Joe]

Wow Christian that is awesome! Congratulations, how many UHU sets are graded?

Hi Joe,

Overall - you can find all 8 Ewoks on these cards- not really sure but I think this is second UHU Teebo to have been graded. The problem with these pieces are the actual glue sticks being packaged in a super-fragile 'Trilogo-esque' bubble (at least strength wise) - a lot of the UHU's in existence have cracked bubbles
What I find particularly quirky about them is that they were made in Leicester!

Can't believe it has taken me 25 years to get one...

BTW You still looking for an 8-D8 ReturnOTJ proof? If so PM me :wink:
