Awesome addition Steve, looks really mint mate. Good luck with the 12" run, I reckon a complete run would look wicked on display mate

Nice catch Shawn & like Emiel has said, isn't it odd that not even a blaster was included with the figure, almost as if they knew what they were doing.

I agree that is odd. I've seen some of these that also had the palace blaster packed in, but you'd think with just one accessory, they could have included his lightsaber.

Capetown · Dec 22, 2011

Agree, great haul Iain!!

BlueDog · Dec 23, 2011

Sweet Additions one and all, Love those MOC's Iain.

I've been laid up in hospital for the past few days with one helluva nasty Viral infection, ended up ripping through the whole family. All except our 2 month old thankfully. On the bright side I returned home to find these waiting for me.

Especially love the dewback. The two Jedi MOC's are beaters and the Droid factory is box only for my existing one

aussiejames · Dec 23, 2011

At least you're not in hospital for the silly season Ryan (rest of the family come good?). That is a pleasant bunch of packages to arrive for Christmas. I still think the Dewbacks were modelled from blue tongue lizards. The Chewie MOC is the alternate artwork?

e30318is · Dec 23, 2011

Wow that is a lovely haul Ryan, you have bought some great stuff in the last few months :wink:

Sorry to hear you had an unexpected holiday, hope your feeling better mate 8)

Caswellbot · Dec 23, 2011

Nice one Ryan! Always loved the Turret and Probot Set! 8)

BlueDog · Dec 23, 2011

Thanks Fella's,

Still aching a fair bit nasty blood thing, we think it arrived with my Nephew from W.A. probably caught it on the plane. Either that or he caught it from some dirty stripper when he went out with my Bro in law the night after. Dirty buggers.

A.J. yeah it is the alternate picture but the bubble has been lifted enough to remove the figure which is a bummer, the Ackbar was meant to be in great condition but the seller decided to pack them both loose in a box and his bubble has been crushed and split.

Yes the dewbacks do bare a strong resemblance to the blue tongue now you say it.

Cheers Ed bought all the playsets in one hit from ToddG on RS, super fast postage 10 days from the US to Australia for a parcel that large is unheard of.

Thanks Chris, yes the Turret and Probot are up there on my favourites list too.

Dark Sith Lord · Dec 23, 2011

Nice MOC mate! 8)

Guess who's back???

Told ya something's coming.

Will get straight to the point tonight as I don't have too much time.

Recently Frank visited Dermot and brought some cool items back home. He was even so kind to buy something from Dermot for me.

One of my top wanted MIB items.

Wow... such a nice box.

The content:

It is REALLY mint. Unused decal sheet included, I'm sure this has never been played with.

Not vintage, but still an item I wanted to add to my collection:

I was glad to have found it for 12$ + 20$ shipping, which is kind of a bargain for him... BUT...

When I took it out of the parcel all seemed fine at first. Hours later I picked it up to take these photos and suddenly the blister went off very smooth. Maybe it's just the glue that dried in time? Another thing that was annoying were the 20$ shipping costs when I saw the guy had only paid 6.97$ for shipping. If the figure was sealed like he advertised I wouldn't have complained as I said it was a bargain, but now I have send a message, let's see what comes out of it.

Next up are 9 figures I bought from a guy only a 10 minutes drive away. He was advertising them on eBay classifieds (do you have this in the UK?). I paid 95 Euros and the only downside it the AT-AT Driver having slightly loose legs and the R2-D2 has some tears on the sticker, but other than that the figures are rather minty. Sadly he has sold 8 other figures yesterday that I would have wanted as well as I'm sure they are the same quality as the ones I got and were really cheap.
