Couple of new additions to the "Family".

First up is 12BK C Sand People which arrived this morning, thanks again Jon!! Speedy delivery, well packed and truly an awesome figure.

Next up is ROTJ Leia in BD 77BK A which I picked up via ebay.

Got a few more on the way (I buy in bulk a few times a year incase anyone asks hehe). But my "Grail" fingers crossed will arrive Tuesday, I am praying that it does not get damaged, all will be revealed Tuesday....I Hope

Thanks for looking.

Nice find Gary!, would you want another?, its in a Kenner box though not a palitoy & is ESB packaging, think its in better condition from what I can tell.

No promises but I may have an option to buy items from a collection soon & that blaster is in one of the photos I was sent.

Loving the 12 back Tusken raider 2 - sweet figure buy the looks of it

 

[Capetown]

I think the Palitoy thing is a very essential part of why Gary bought this Frank. :wink:

 

[PGowdy]

Very cool Pally Pistol Gary. 8) Glad you finally found your piece.

And nice Mocs Badderius. That Sand Person is lovely.

Yeah I presumed so 2 Emiel, but thought I had better mention it just in case it was of interest to Gary.

 

[sith-smith]

Thanks mate

It is just the Palitoy I am interested in though as that it my entire focus.

Just need the two star wars guns now!

 

[e30318is]

Nice 12 back Sand people, looks flawless!

Gary I love the Laser Pistol, I didn't know Palitoy made those- never seen one before. I wonder if they appear in any toy catalogues, like this:

Latest Ledy arrived today for the loose collection.

and picked these two up on the cheap, just had them back from the graders. I'm pleased as punch and Steve at UKG even threw in a COA for the Luke. Can't thank him enough for all the great work recently.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Awesome Stuff love the Luje Jon! 8)

 

[momike]

My latest is not in the same league as everyone else but its one ive been after for a while to add to my European variants!

White Chief Chirpa with the light brown staff! The fact that i picked him up for a couple of quid makes it that bit sweeter

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Never seen that Variant before! Nice!

 

[PGowdy]

Very nice variant momike. 8)

 

[Badderius]

Thats cool!

Amazing the amount of variants that come up I have never seen before.

Nice! Could you post a pic of Chewie's COO please? Also, is the Bocaster in the pic below similar to the one in that baggie? Note the overall thinner or "flatter" look of the weapon along with the circle on the top rear corner. Thanks!

 

[Frunkstar]

Sorry I took photos & everything yesterday for you & just forgot to get back & post them up so here goes for you -

Felt sure I had already answered this - must be loosing my few remaining marbles :lol:

I have done a side on shot of the bowcaster within the baggie for you & it does indeed look like the same & is also the same as the one numbered 3 on the bottom photo.

Gun

1 green
2 standard
3 thin

Got some interesting info on this for me then?, always good to know more

I promised to post some pictures by this weekend. I tried hard to take nice shots of my collection, but failed miserably. I have to think about my setup again to take better pictures of everything. But I figured: Snapshots are better than no shots. So here we go ...

This was my collection, before the release of the saga on BluRay:

The mini rigs, Tauntaun and Landspeeder are left overs from my childhood. Even though they have broken weapons or cannot stand on their on anymore (Tauntaun), I still love them. I still have a picture of me unboxing THIS Tauntaun.

With my edition of the BluRay saga came a Concept Boba Fett with a vintage style card. That started it all. This is my collection now [I consider it all my 'latest acquisitions', that's why I post it here], many things will be recognized by awesome sellers on this forum!

3 MOCs cannot be seen from this angle: Tri Logo Chief Chirpa, ROTJ Kenner Han Solo (Trench Coat) + ROTJ Palitoy Leia Boushh. A loose Biker Scout and Bespin Guard (Black) cannot be seen also. There are 2 new Vintage Collection cards: Rocket firing + Concept Boba Fett.

Side note: This is part my girlfriend's and my living room what you see there. I don't have any other space to display my stuff. I will soon move most of that into the cellar though until I have more space, which could take a while. :-/

Didn't manage to get this bad boy on my shelf for the picture, but this is a 'latest acquistion' as well. Still waiting for the canopy + glass to be delivered. Unfortunately the wing mechanism isn't working anymore, that's why I use a rubber band to keep them up:

I also have 2 questions about figures from my collection:
Is this the "Red eye variant" of Leia Boushh???

And which variant of Bespin Luke is this? Or has his hair been painted?

Thank's for looking.

 

[PGowdy]

I believe that is the "hair painted by a kid" variant Luke Bespin. :wink:

That's what I was thinking.

 

[Capetown]

Wow Dennis, your collection has positively exploded (not literally of course :wink: ) during the last few months. Well done! :shock:

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Awesome Collection Dennis! 8) Congrats mate!

 

[Groovephil]

Yep that's the red eye! very nice collection.

How rare is this red eye variant??? Cause my Palitoy MOC is a red eye too!
