Latest Acquisitions

[jedi_masters]

Bram, Superb Yoda proof mate, great pick up.

More nice vehicles Adam, you must be ticking things off your wants list pretty quick.

I too have been ticking things off rather quickly, and my not buying is seriously not working. This is my latest lot of loosies, just waiting on one more from Browny.

Vlix from Walkie, the middle 5 are from wookiemonster on RS,the coins are from another guy on RS and a nice IG-88 to make use of the blue long rifle that came with my Jann Tosh.

Chris, lovely loosies mate! IG 88 is my firm favourite figure ever, love him/it lol. My lists going well, but I recently decided to dip my toe in the MOC waters, uh oh...sorry bank balance!

 

[Spookedhippie]

Dude loves the droid and ewoks figures!

Thanks Adam, He is a good figure, and prob the best at holding his weapons!!

The slippery slope to the dark hell of MOC's, welcome matey. It can be a minefield at times but after a while you will learn what to look out for.

Dude loves the droid and ewoks figures!

Thanks Spooked, I absolutely love the Droids and Ewok Range, love the cartoon look of them. Got Kea Moll coming from Browny, then its the last expensive one's to go.

 

[Spookedhippie]

You just getting the loose or going for some carded?

Ive already got all the Droids and Ewoks on card, just need Boba which I don't think I will be getting anytime soon.

I really m ust update my showcase thread as I think Ive added around 40 MOC's and around 45 loose to the collection.

 

[Spookedhippie]

Oo awesome, would love to see pics dude

 

[jedi_masters]

I'll try and get some done this weekend, not sure ill have time though. I'll let you know when I've managed to update my showcase.

 

[db94]

jedi_masters - great line up, you've really got me thinking about collecting the droids and ewoks figures now

Cheers db94

They are awesome figures, just be prepared to search hard for them. They are out there but can be as much as, if not more than the MOC. Also I would prob say if you see any you want, pounce on them. I didnt andm missed out on a few at good prices!!

 

[Jedi_june]

@Jedi_Masters: Love the Ewoks & Droids Figures! The more I look at them the more they grow on me The wicket fig is sooo cute.......... Um Ahem it's soooo cool 8) :lol:

How much does one of those Vlix go for? I know the original goes for stupid money!

 

[Grant_C]

OK- where are we?

Frank- Congrats on the R5-D4 baggie. I take it that its rare being a palitoy. Which reminds me- PM Sent.

8Bit- thats a work of beauty- UKG have done a great job- makes me think I should start collecting them... :?

Bram- Revenge tour da FORCE- never ends.

Banton- Nice MIB's- especially Palitoy

Chris- I am going to join you I think on the droids and ewoks loose. Maybe its that time. :shock:

Here's some bits and bobs:

The stickers don't carry the star wars logo. I'm thinking these are re-packs like the Wollies Space Figure 3 and 8 packs. Guess fluffy bunnies was more maketable than Star Wars at some point.

C-3PO Kenner 21 back. Thanks to Bram. Kisses coming via PM. Only ONE MOC to go before I have a full set of figures as a MOC.

Ben Cooper 1977 C-3PO Star Wars Mask and outfit.

Star Wars 1976 Preesbook. Real happy with this. Full of information and press releases about next years space fantasy. As well as marketing information about posters and pictures. 1976 BABY!

Apologies for photos. Sometimes photobucket flips them regardless of edits.

Or you can go carded (and I know that the card is pretty much spot on to the original, not that I'm pushing the repro thing but this really is as good as it gets!) -

[TC-14]

Grant, your pressbook is a thing of beauty. 1976... to think what was to follow :shock: Absolutely love it, mate- and also just a little bit envious :mrgreen:

 

[Michael Sith]

That press book is awesome buddy 8) little piece of history..congrats

Last 4 days pick ups thought I'd put the all together

Many thanks to Chaz b for a sweet deal on the Fett, Chewie, snag, Han hoth, C3po, and minty little green fella some weapons in too! Great deal thanks Andy, always a pleasure to deal with, top man :wink:
Also picked nice Bib F this weekend, along with my lovely Luke F B with original saber...that I am almost certain is an EB

So happy with my loosies,

Thanks Palifan

It would be a sin to buy a Vlix from Poon :evil:

:lol:

 

[jedi_masters]

I paid £35 for my one off Walkie on here, it's a Poon as well.

 

[Dublinjeff]

Picked this little fella up locally, nice mail away Emperor box, figure and ROTJ catalogue

 

[Spookedhippie]

Sweet pick up dude

 

[Dublinjeff]

Thanks mate, but the day just got a whole lot sweeter....
I had this waiting for me when I got in from work.....
12 Back Farmboy courtesy of Ryan (Bluedog) so happy with him. It's a reseal but you can hardly tell in fairness.

..

He looks great alongside my Luke Gunner card

 

[Michael Sith]

Luke is a beauty lovely pick up there Jeff

V nice indeed

 

[Spookedhippie]

Sweet mother of.... Bloody awesome mate!

 

[theslider]

Lots of great pick ups as usual!

Not much love of the die casts on here but I picked up this up on evilBay, the card is pretty ****** but the bubble is awesome. Only a few more to get with the die-casts (Falcon, Y-Wing, Slave 1, Star Destroyer and of course the Tie Bomber (arf) still to go!)

Also picked up these Palitoy cardbacks along with a Kenner and part of a Toltoys box, all pretty good condition:

 

[phantom]

So, after a long break Im back collecting.. Got these two as a part of a lot, these will be kept in my personal collection due to the nostalgia of the Norwegian price stickers Not the most exciting mocs, but the stickers makes me happy

 

[itfciain]

Love the Trilogo Leia - looks like she is packed with a Bespin Blaster as well - which makes it even cooler

 

[Grant_C]

Fantastic page of pic ups.

Would be over the moon with any of them.

 

[Jedi_june]

@Dublinjeff: How do you always find so much cool stuff :? I think I might have to move to Dublin :lol: Cool find Emperor Mail away & Sweet 12 Back LFB :mrgreen: Man that Gunner Card is so kick ass!!!!!!!!!!

@TheSlider: Cool DC Landspeeder Palitoy is the ****! good luck getting the ones you need bro. Cool cardbacks too & even thou the Toltoys is cut up its still awesome!

@Phantom: Cool mocs! Loving the TriLogo Leia <3

 

[rob71]

Really nice Lukes, Jeff 8) ... the rest of the new pick ups are cool as well guys

I had this disappointment this morning when I opened my first box of goodies since starting to collect again...

... and this is what the card looks like

Not sure whether the fault lies with my seller in the US, or the US forward shipping company that sent it to me here in NZ
I've gone in all guns blazing at both of them anyway and also opened up an ebay case

 

[rob71]

Still, every cloud as they say... it got better when I opened this (packed perfectly)

And then this (pretty proud of this one I have to say - I haven't been able to take my eyes off him all morning)

 

[Jedi_june]

@rob71: damn sorry to hear about your obi wan it kills me how many idiots are in this world that would pack a moc like that. Hopefully it get resolved and you get your money back. As for the prune face moc it's awesome one of my favs. Congrats on the DSD it's a beauty
