Never heard of a Sunday delivery Garry - but worth it for that haul
Cheers mate
I have built that up in the past two-three years (although I think I have gone mad this year) it has been expensive but I have part funded it with some buying and selling of the loose figures so am not too out of pocket
This one might be my last buy for a while but it was nice and cheap and looks great Finally a fully sealed Tusken!
Excuse the He-man bootleg lol ("Gift" from some ****er..I mean friend )
Huge thanks to Chris Caswell for helping me get this one!

Sweet Tri Logo Joe, one of the figures I am fondest of seeing on a cardback, don't ask me why though.

Nice Tri Logo MOC Joe! 8)
Now that's a nice figure card combination! Just lovely. Kudos to you Joe.
Cheers guys! I love it and one I wanted for a long time!
I was surprised at how "cheap" (Relatively speaking) Robbies Trilogos sold for just because they were quite nice grades for Trilogos, but to be fair he did have them up for BIN's for a good few weeks with no bites, probably just wanted shot of them!
A few years ago a nice Tusken could have easily broken the $400 mark (occasionally they still do!) but as ever the "bus" effect comes in to play on the ones that are hard to find, 3-4 turn up at once and nobody can be arsed buying them lol
My limelight has pretty much stayed the same as far as Trilogos Iain, in fact I am 2 lighter than I used to be (you got them lol) as I have been slowly paying off around a grands worth of "whim" purchases that just came out of the blue lol, totally blew my Trilogo budget this year- doh!
Keep the new purchases coming guys, I love watching peoples stuff roll in

Well mixed blessing this time guys I am afraid, got a right strange deal going on, I bought 4 figures from a seller in the US on ebay (4 baggies), I ask him for insured postage option which he does @ $29.50, he then forgets to send one of them & offers me a refund, the one left out is the one I really want so he say's he will post that one off at his expense but standard postage, which so far seems not to bad right?.
Then I get my usual slip from the tax man as the guy has put the full value of the 4 figures down, has not marked the parcel as "gift" or "collectables" as requested (said they went out b4 I asked), so I get hit for tax on the full amount & am sadly down the sum of £27.39 on top - Gutted yet again.
Now that could have been an expected outcome & not the end of the world right?, it gets worse, I open up the parcel to see my figures, ROTJ-a Ree-yees Bib fortuna ESB-a & what I expected to be a ESB-d weequay.
Ree-Yees thankfully is all good & the best one out of the 3, so I am happy with that thankfully
Big is covered with splits & tears all over the baggie which is rather frustrating as there was no mention of this on the listing
But then I check my Weequay (listed as a sealed baggie) & its actually a ESB-c with the tape missing & opened at one end WTF? :shock: :? not best pleased I can tell you guys
Still awaiting the 4th one which I am hoping will be a C-3p0 fixed limb in a ESB-h baggies, I am now shitting it awaiting its arrival, wonder what horror story awaits me with its arrival :|
I have contacted the seller regarding this, but I don't see it ending well.
Not trying to put a downer on the thread, just showing my latest acquisition - after all not all deals can be peaches.
I am still well chuffed with the Ree-yees & with luck the 3p0 will be a good one.
On another plus note - I managed to get all the stupit price & name stickers of without further damage to the baggies

I saw those on the bay Frank, the person selling tried to sell the entire collection a little while back with no joy, in the ad it said they were his/her daughters items so I did
kinda wonder if it wasn't something sad that happened to her and the parents were just moving the stuff on.
I don't think they really knew too much about collecting but regardless sealed is not open so I hope you resolve it mate.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Really? lol I always loved price stickers on baggies, you don't see to many on them as it was rare they made it in bags to stores, I guess the ones that did were overstock bought out towards the end by the case load and shifted as cheap as possible. I love all that stuff!
You fanny lol

The guy seems 100% genuine & I know he knows nothing about SW, but is a good seller judging by his feedback/DSR & his com's, I do hope its not a death in the family rather selling to help his daughter out :|
So fingers crossed
