Yeah the book is way off and the market fluctuates dramatically from month to month. If you think something's overpriced just ask on here. You should be able to pick up an Anakin for uner a tenner.

where do you find bargains like Yaks for 7 quid??? Is this a car boot find?

Not a car boot find but i have been lucky with them in the past the £1.95 Anakin was just badly described in its title. for example search yak head, not face and you might get lucky.

But my yak was just sitting there as a "last 17 yak face c7" and no one was bidding, starting price €4 , then one bid came in , i waited till the last few seconds and threw in a max bid of €8 euro. after a few attempts the other bidder stopped pushing and it was all over bar the shouting.

cheap yak. :mrgreen:
 
Got these at a local toy fair in Harrogate this morning.....

Palitoy AT AT Commander

Palitoy Power Droid

Sadly a little window opening on the back, but for £20 I felt it worth buying. I recall reading the Power Droid on a Palitoy card is extremely hard to find.

Nice Palitoy! I recently got this Popy Luke Farmboy in Japan. He has been opened, but is complete with leaflets and original sabre. It worked out at £43. I know he is not sealed, but I thought it was a good price.
 
That's nice Chris and an amzing price. :o
Where in Japan did you pick it up? Were you actually there?
 
nice Jap luke (popy?) ,, and the toyfair MOC haul is nice too , i like the AT AT commander.
We dont have toyfairs over here must be a british thing. I would love to root around one.
 
Thanks for the comments. I got it in Osaka. It was in a shop called Mandarake. Basically toys, manga, computer games etc. Collectors paradise!!
 
Great buys chaps - the Power Droid is a steal as recently even resealed figs have been hitting £50 plus

pete the prices you get things for you could get it under a £5 :)
 
Paul those MOC's are wicked, nice work dude! :D

Here's my Italian Import Biker Scout which I had to get cos DPD couriers are lazy batards. Well chuffed tho as not seen one before...

lol, pretty much altho have noticed that on all Palitoys I've seen the offer date on the back is blacked out but not on this one! ;)
 
Nice Ham, shame I hear it was a bidding war between you and Jimmy- well at least if you ever sell it you have a buyer :)

I don't think you will see one of these for a long time, I let the only Italian distribution sticker I ever saw for 8D8 slip through my fingers and guess what - never seen it or another since lol (kicking myself since that day)

This goes to prove a point about focus collectors and sticker love ;) Go crazy for a bit of variation won't we ? lol
 
Thanks guys and yeah Joe as I'd never seen one before I couldn't let this one go. Paul, there were a few on TIG who went for some of the other Italian MOC's and awaiting their arrival so be good to see what they're like. It's a great piece, a slight bend but nothing I couldn't fix. ;)
 
Great pick up Ham, as Joe said I imagine that took some finding! Did you buy it from Italy? I have never seen that sticker before, were they only on rotj cards?
 
Thanks Ed. I was watching it on Ebay from day one and wasn't gonna let it go. It's from Italy and the guy from there was selling a few Italian MOC's tho unfortunately for me the BS went for the most! :roll:

Don't know alot about the Italian import apart from it's a Palitoy with a stick, lol, but have also noticed that Palitoys I've seen have ther Offer Date blacked out whereas this one hasn't. Well chuffed as not seen another like it. :)

I sold a Tri Logo Barada example recently.

They are pretty neat as it shows the exact country of distribution which, on trilogos is pretty handy!

I think that sellers old store stock find was really great, I didn't follow the auctions but saw a few of the auctions- some nice pieces and some went cheap!

I suppose if it was destined for another country from day one then there was no point blacking it out as it clearly states 'Open to UK residents only'. Why waste a black pen and someones time on something that can't be applied for anyway.
 
Wicked, nice 1 dude. I didn't even know they existed until I followed mine on ebay and then thought they were only on the ROTJ cardbacks but now seeing the sticker on a Tri is great stuff.

Cheers Marc. :D
 
Here are the figures I have somewhat 'inherited' over the years;

And here are the ones I have bought out of my own money over the last two weeks. It's not much but I hope it's the beginning to what will be a complete loose collection!
