Latest Acquisitions

[weasel]

Yeah, I was wondering how long it would take you to notice I was slagging off poor Dengar!
Got bored of slagging off 8D8 and Ewoks.

 

[Paul-itoy]

Something quite insignificant.......

But when paired to this.......

.......it becomes a bigger deal.
My very first figure, probably off a Palitoy 12 back bought in a small toy shop in Bradford many years ago,
and one of only two surviving my childhood. Chewbacca is by no means mint.
He's been down drains, has pretty much much been repainted with Airfix paint, parachuted out of my bedroom, lost, found and survived the lot. He even still has my initials on his feet.
It's good to see him armed and dangerous again 8)

Hey Paul-itoy, werent you trying to get some of your childhood figs back with your initials on their feet or was that someone else??
That would be some mission,, but interesting

Hi guys its been a while since Ive posted on this thread. Mainly due to a lack of time and because of laziness. Some of these acquisitions go back a few months but some are very recent. They all contribute to my carded run and Im well happy with all except possible the Gammorean Guard which has some spider veining in the top left.

Special thanks go to Darthstanley, SteveMac, Plantman, Bollux, James Simmonds (RS), Aussienick (RS) Deluca (RS).

1, Chewbacca - 12 Back
2. Luke X-Wing - 21 Back
3. 2-1-b - 41 Back
4. Yoda - 31 Back
5. Rebel Soldier - 31 Back
6. Leia Hoth - 41 Back
7 Han Hoth - 31 Back
8. Chief Chirpa (White Fur) - 65 Back
9 Gamorrean Guard - 79 Back

[silver grin]

N.I.C.E 8)

That lot looks about 2 months pay to me :lol:

 

[Caswellbot]

Thanks guys. There are one or two more in the pipeline but it may be a while til I post those ones on here. Thanks for the comments. Ill try and get a new group shot of my carded run on the limelight up soon. 8)

 

[e30318is]

Great items Chris, how many left to go now buddy? They look to be in fantastic condition. Thanks for sharing

 

[Caswellbot]

Cheers Ed! I think its 69 down now and 27 to go.

 

[burnsy]

There are some great new additions there Chris.

Nice one 8)

 

[tigerham]

Nice load Chris, good work chap. Didn't you have a ROTJ Chief Chirpa or were you upgrading to a better conditioned one?

 

[DarthStanley]

Its about time you posted here Chris! :lol:

Some very minty MOC's you've got there mate,congrats! 8)

Sorry to hear about Gammy Guard mate,Deluca had a 77 back that had a yellow bubble & the 79 back with a slightly yellow bubble so i went for the 79 back as they're a bit rarer(i think!).

Have you sorted your RS account out yet?

 

[**Delboy75**]

Nice Buys Chris, but you have obviously have forgotten to forward those ESB mocs to me :mrgreen:

They look very nice mate.

 

[poncho]

got a couple of cheap minirigs in the post today in good nick aswell! now the hunt is on for potf mini rigs and loose cardbacks still

 

[Caswellbot]

Thanks Ham. Yeah I had Chirpa already but when this one came up I felt compelled to upgrade. Could do with upgrading my Gammy guard again though. Do you know anyone with a super minty one of those at all?? :lol:

Del - Ive been watching your ESB acquisitions grow with envy. Those german cardbacks are as fresh as it gets and although Im really pleased with mine I dont think the kenner ones ever look quite as crisp. Ive been hunting high and low and these have been some of the better ones Ive seen. The rebel soldier is a beauty.

Mark - Your right about the 79 backs they are harder to get hold of so I still think you made the right choice. I have no quarms with your judgement at all mate. I think its just to do with getting more and more picky these days thats all. There are others I wanna upgrade at some point because of yellow bubbles but mainly the ones with yellowed bubbles are virtually flawless in other areas.

Chris.

 

[silver grin]

this arrived today after buying it of sotoam on rs

only my second potf card!

only problem I can see straight off is the slight sticker residue on the top right and the card does seem to lift ever so slightly at the top but overall I am well happy

 

[weasel]

You gotta love the POTF cards! 8) 8)

Hi guys its been a while since I've posted on this thread. Mainly due to a lack of time and because of laziness.

Jesus, just a few additions! Lol
Some nice MOC's there though.

PS, Laziness is perfectly acceptable excuse!

No, not me. I know where all mine are. I swapped them with a mate for a BMX about 15 years ago. I just kept Chewy and my Tie Fighter Pilot.

 

[**Delboy75**]

Nice aditions guys.
This one came today, its graded AFA 80 but im not sure why as the card looks really nice.
Got it for a good price too so im happy
