Sorry for the pic heavy post but I was 'chuffed to bits' to win this auction. To get three partially sealed cards, plus a load of extras for a not bad price. eBay is a necessary evil!

These figures aren't in that great condition, but as I don't collect loosies; these will be flipped.

Two die-casts; again not perfect and I don't collect them.

A Han Hoth Palitoy 30A back card - I've got a resealed version of this, so again it'll be flipped.

A Palitoy 12A back R2D2 - again I've got a better (only slightly) condition version of this card back.

Now, finally, one I'm keeping! A Palitoy 12B back Leia. The bubble is crushed, but still attached and the figure is in poor shape, but the card back itself is in fine condition.

A Palitoy Jawa 12 back. A little crushing to the bubble, and obviously missing the footer but the figure is in excellent condition, as is the card back.

And finally, the pièce de résistance, a Palitoy 12B back Chewbacca. The bubble is badly crushed, but still attached. If I can repair the bubble then this'll look fantastic!

Slider great stuff, you have gone nuts in the last few months. Hope your not getting too high off the glue when revealing all these beauties.
 
Hi Jeff, some nice mint figures. They are so beautiful and look like they are removed from a cardbacks today 8)

Hi theslider, nice figures, die-casts, cardbacks and figures with cardbacks :shock: Those Palitoy cardbacks are so cool 8)
 
Cheers fellas!

Couldn't believe it when I first saw the auction and it did stay at £30 for ages. Fair play to the seller, he didn't give in to offers outside of eBay. Had to go an pick the packaged up from the FedEx depot in Manchester today and I was beaming all the way back. Th Mrs was unimpressed with the haul though (why break the habit of a lifetime!)
 
great pick ups

I wondered why you were selling your Jawa on so quickly on Ebay, and know I know!

That new one you have should fix up a treat and with the Leia and Chewbacca you've just picked up it's looking like you may have to update your focus pictures soon. I'm not sure if you'll be able to do much with the chewie bubble as they don't seem to want to pop back out once they're crushed but it's the hardest one to get as a reseal let alone MOC and the card back looks sweet. It's funny that nearly all the reseals I've seen of him are almost always damaged or sealed with the footer missing. Maybe there wasn't enough interest in that character back in the day to look after the card and bubble as I've seen pretty mint opened examples of all the other 12. It's definitely been the one I've been chasing the longest and I still don't have quite the right one. I've got just one more to put together that I might be finally satisfied with but I'm always on the lookout just incase another turns up.

Still, some fine looking additions to the set and it's good to get one of each of the ones your after and then update as the availability and funds allow. Looking forward to seeing the full lineup and I get the feeling that i won't have to wait that long!

£30 is a amazing deal for that great lot :shock: congratulations mate :wink:
 
Chuffed to bits. Luke Stormtrooper arrived yesterday, completing (for the time being) my Luke MOC focus.
My son was really excited, especially as it has the coin.
He did dis it a bit saying it was a bit yellow :roll: He told me that maybe i should think about getting all of the Hans now.
Anyway, here is he outside of his soon to be home.

Thanks mate, i was actually after a Tri myself. I was checking the forums and ebay daily but i got PMd a link to this bad boy by Grant. You gotta love this forum :D
 
Great score mate - fitting addition to an amazing collection - I love how the MOCs have been slowing growing in the past year or so
