Great Palitoy buys Lee.

Thanks Emiel - I only ever buy MOC or posters. Never got into collecting loose or vehicels

 

[PGowdy]

Both nice Lee but that Lando is very minty! 8)

The Palitoy Lando is absoloutely fabulous, nice pick up there Lee. I have to admit I do like the new UKG stickers as well, i may be temted to send some loose in now. Has their turn around time and customer service improved any as their reputation was a bit flakey at one point.

Nice buys guys

Ham -will you be able to stop?

And what's swarf?? Something to do with paint ?

Swarf is "extra" plastic- A bit like on Airfix kits when you break them from the spure it leaves a bit behind. I will try and get some photos up! :lol:

Swarf got it,, i have hundreds of airfix models at home i know swarf now.

Yeah Rich it has improved massively. Sent him off, got him graded and back again within 2 weeks with constant emails keeping me updated. I know the guys are members on here and I know the last time I used them I think they were a man down and although they were slow they still did a great job!

always happy with UKG

 

[Rich.b]

Thats good to know mate as i have been toying with the idea of getting some of my loose POTF graded.

 

[tigerham]

Yeah Nick, have to say that UKG are doing ok these days/ We've gotta get the word out, bring grading home!

Too true Ham! Would sort of like a bit of a discount for all the good press (deserved imo) i'm giving them :wink: :lol: :lol:

Got a lot more i'd love to get graded

 

[tigerham]

Look forward to seeing them Nick.

[Chewie]

You can't beat a lovely Blue Snag Well Done Matey 8)

 

[momike]

cheers fellas! yous are gonna think im mad but im thinking of freeing him ive never had a afa i will say this they dont half clang about a bit in them boxes it just dosent sound to healthy but it dose look great on display im in to minds weather to free him or send my vc jawa to ukg when ive got a nicer figure for him that is 8)

 

[aussiejames]

I do have a chuckle when I hear people say graded loose are protected forever- when " they dont half clang about a bit in them boxes" I'd still leave it encased - there is no rush to break him out.

 

[tigerham]

Personally I'd set him free as there's nothing like the feel of the genuine article as appose to the acrylic plastic surrounding them, speaking about loose figures tho have been recently doing the same with MOC's and kinda going off the idea of sealed casings. Just like to feel the history if that makes sense.

 

[momike]

I know what you mean ham im a loose collector! something about those shiny boots wants me to break him out! i think i will open it up eventually for now though just happy i have a nice one.

 

[tigerham]

Great stuff dude, look forward to seeing pics of before during and after the break-out!
