Latest Acquisitions

PS.. this happened Sunday.. and it was all over the NZ/Aus news.

WOOOOOOOAH!

NO ONE ***** WITH SWFUK DUDES!


On a serious note dude- good for you, you stood your ground and came off really ******* well, good for you mate

 

[tatsie]

Seriously the kids did nothing wrong. There's 7 minutes of footage showing a civilised skate comp.

this little lad, who is 13, was simply skating. The thug, Craig Platt, lashed out. (I wasn't even there).

Here's a run down of the story on my website:

It went crazy on monday, all over the news, facebook, aus and NZ newspapers. I couldn't do any work.

Anyway, the young boy's parents are going to press charges.

Oh, and the huge thugs that tell ME to calm down are gang members, which is fantastic news.

But my kick boxing friends, sent me a message saying there's a 1000 trained fighters who have my back. 8)

If anyone's interested, here's some radio interviews I did afterwards:

The man, Doc Murdoch (white hat) is a convicted drug dealer, thief, criminal, *******.

he's going to get his comeuppance.

 

[tundra9]

Just listened a bit on the first interview in the link, did YOU get flamed for confronting him??? What's the world coming to??

 

[Josh]

Good on you for holding your ground, mate. Even with all the gang bangers around you stood strong. Impressive.

LOL at the ****** who pushed the kid over. Bet he wasn't expecting to be world famous for all the wrong reasons.

 

[BlueDog]

Good on ya Leighton! You've got more balls than that whole group of spineless meat heads put together!

 

[e30318is]

Leighton, your a hero dude. I cant believe how that gorilla acted, what a nasty bully.

You should be really proud of yourself mate, I would like to think I would do the same thing (in my head) but actually stepping up and doing it is highly commendable. You handled the situation very well.

Those kids are lucky to have such a inspirational mentor :wink: best of luck with all the media- hopefully you can turn it into something constructive and the park may actually prosper from this unfortunate incident.

Nice Chewy BTW :lol:

 

[jedi_masters]

Well done Leighton, if that **** had done that to me I would have flipped myself. What a complete and utter ballbag. I love the line in the video: 'Its a skate park, get out'. Er what the **** were those kids doing there with SKATEBOARDS then!!!! People like that make me so angry. And your made out to be the one making all the fuss because you confronted him. This world ios ****** up.

Love the Chewie as well, last figure I bought recently and love it.

 

[Pomse2001]

Hi tatsie, I love that chewbacca moc :shock:

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

I tip my hat off to you Leighton for keepin your cool mate Nice work

 

[phantom]

Two more troopers arrived today!

One is amazing, and the other one with alot of wear. Still, they both are great addition to the collection

 

[jedi_masters]

Very nice Phantom, the left one looks minty mint. How many do you have now??

 

[phantom]

Thanks!

Been doing some "cleaning" up and trading/selling some duplicates

But only around 8-10 different Troopers (hoth and tk´s), taking it slow and also focusing on completing the weapons and upgrading my loose collection

 

[flycasual]

Love the minty Trooper!

My latest:

Vader is a little beaten up.

 

[tundra9]

Nice stormies phantom!
Love the Barada fly! 8)

 

[Grant_C]

Nice MOC's guys- that one stormtrooper is super nice.

Congrats both.

 

[tatsie]

Barada was my first POTF MOC.. in 1995... only 7 to go..

 

[Josh]

:? Just the easy ones now :lol:

 

[jedi_masters]

Leighton, sue that ******* Craigs arse for assaulting you, then you might be able to get the last POTF you need in one go. Just the not so cheap one to go, well done mate, that would be a nice group shot when you finish the run.

 

[tatsie]

:? Just the easy ones now :lol:

:lol: :lol:

 

[flycasual]

:? Just the easy ones now :lol:

:lol: :lol:

I'm not sure I could start a collection knowing that I would probably never complete it. Or am I just being defeatist?

 

[Joe]

If you only start collections of things you can complete easily you will get bored very quickly

90% of the fun for most is hunting and acquiring, once you complete something it doesn't take long to get bored and want to sell it off IMO. Besides, even on hard to complete "sets" you never know what can happen!

 

[Grant_C]

Do or do not.....


There is no try....

 

[e30318is]

Here is my latest buy from Jase:

Sorry for the terrible picture :roll:
Its a Burgandy cape Squid head, and I bloody love it :lol:

 

[Lee77]

Hi Ed. Nice Squid Head. Is that the grail piece you were on about?

Also, nice stormies phantom. Left one looks a right minter!
Nice buy Flycasual and also Tatsie. Just the mega expensive potf left!! Also mate, good on you on that video. You got some balls! Would have been hilarious if you'd stuck your board straight round that fat ***** skull!!!

 

[e30318is]

Hi Ed. Nice Squid Head. Is that the grail piece you were on about?

No matey, its a great addition, but I have my eyes set on a very very cool Jawa piece :wink:

 

[Dublinjeff]

I hear ya Joe. The "hunting and aquiring" journey is certainly what I find the most fun. WTB threads are almost a spoiler.

Lately I've been having a similar conversation with my Mum. She thinks I'm negative, but I argue that I'm just being realistic.

Dark Sith Lord, it must be a different Vader. I can't afford those prices.

Nice burgandy cape Squid Head! I remember reading about it years ago. It was supposed to be ultra rare.

Tri Logo Fett is one of my favourites. There seems to be a lot more on ebay than when I was buying loose figures.

 

[timbo72]

Nice buys people, im back off holiday and getting myself sorted to start phase 2 of loose collection
