Tons of great pick ups, a thread full of treasured treasures 8)

Loving the early bird display, looks awesome 8)
 
@Shawn K: awesome early bird set, love the case for it.

@Timbo72: Sweet pic up's, can't go wrong with the rebo band :mrgreen:

@jambobbyb: Congrats on completing your 1st 21 set :mrgreen: but what's goodie with them Bootie Troopers :lol:
 
"Bootie troopers" that's the best name for these things ever we should start using that phrase to describe these! I had seen these in pictures and to be totally honest I wanted to own one so I could actually handle and judge how good they are as copy's and if there was anything to be seriously worried about, they aren't bad at all and I think they have started using harder plastic in the legs as these don't seem to be any more rubbery than my originals, however they are not "that" good the heads tiny and if you rotate the arms and legs they click as if the joints are graduated instead of being rounded.
 
More great stuff guys,
Jammybobsterbob, nice haul and congrats on completing the 21 run.
Sweet pick ups Tim, a new project eh? My money is on a Hoth scene, am i right, am i right?

I haven't put anything up on here for ages, so here are my latest bits and pieces.

These patches from CE2, the bottom two are for my flying helmet.



My Mark Hamill Autograph from CE2 (still buzzing)



My wonderful Luke Revenge Proof courtesy of Bram



and finally two wonderful pieces of Star Wars art from CE2 which i have just got back from the framers;





Together they compliment my collection quite nicely

The Black Trooper looks sick thou, how much the blacks go for loose?
 
After nine months of having a freind in the US hold onto a bunch of stuff for me i finaly got around to picking up this large haul of SW goodies (although i have no idea how to get it all back to the UK :))

There is quite the spread of items here buti can't be bothered to multi post so here goes the lot...

Lego - The New Ewok Village and the B-Wing Fighter.

Shadows Of the Empire - I only really needed the comic 2 packs to say i had a complete run of modern comic 2 packs but as the other figures are great and the price was so low i took the lot, but i promise this isn't an in to getting back into modern collecting...

Disney - The two box sets are from this years SW Weekend. The Star fighter with Jedi Mickey is pretty cool, the driod is nice and overall this is a good ship. The Sarlac pit is great, the figures are nothing new but in that setting and layout this is a great set and for me it keeps my collection of Disney cross-over figures complete.

Vintage - the figures of interest... R5-D4 of RoTJ card, lovely figure and in great shape. Barada on POTF card, nice figuer there is a little creasing in the bottom of the card but not bad. Snaggletooth on Empire card with Revenge sticker, lovely figure and card and very happy with this one.

Then we have two big figures (for me anyway). R2-D2 12Bk Kenner card, this is an excelent card, there is a small ding in the top of the bubble but overall this is in great shape and is fantastic. C3-PO on Empire card. This is an almost perfect card, the figure, bubble, card everything is great and these were 2 i have been looking for for a while so very happy to have found them and within my budget :)

Oh and latly there are a pair of plush figures, Jedi Mickey with light up saber and Chip and Dale as Ewoks, (although i susspect my daughter will have these the second she see them...) and for the eagle eyed amoung you, you will have spotted a MASK figure. That is a coastal partol Matt Trakker and is the last of the carded figures i needed to have a full set of serise 1 and 2 figures, so very happy there as well.

Enjoy.

That's one heck of a haul, monkey-roo... are you thinking of shipping it by container? :lol:

I've just received this bad boy bounty hunter from across the Atlantic from one Mr Figueroa... and with a couple of extra surprises in there- his SWF.UK sticker being one of them :D
Thanks mate, you're an absolute Gent :wink:

Baggie madness continues,

Lumat well hard to find I know, ev and anmanaman were on my hunting list. A rare hard to find Sw pin head Han, a popy r5 and a probot Baggie. The one I most chuffed with is the no smile lando. Taken me a year to track that down. Just 3 more to go and all figures and variants bagged :lol:

Good to be back on the scene

The large photo makes it all the better to see that cool R5 Popy :)

Bloody hell this thread rattles along :o

Some lovely prints Jez they look great above the vehicle display.

Martin, nice pickup and that sticker is awesome June 8)

Matt that's a great mixed bag there, but my favourites have to be the R2 and R5 MOCs

Jambobbyb congratulations on finishing the first 21 run, and that No 10 stormy plate :)

Spooked and Iain, looking forward to seeing the updated limelights once the cases arrive. Love the DSD Popy as well.

Shawn the EB pack looks great in that case, shows everything off very nicely :)
 
Haven't posted much on here for a while as I've been too busy moving house and getting things sorted, so here are a few things I've got over the past few weeks.

First off Han courtesy of Mumbo - this one completes my first 12 (well 21 actually) :D

IMG_0344_zps90da4125.jpg


Next a Hammerhead 21 back from Dennis (Stargeezer) which I had him send to the AFA for me, coming back with an overall 80 (80-85-85) really happy with this one

IMG_0340_zpsc458ae94.jpg


Next a Tie-Fighter Pilot which I bought from ebay (a collector of 20 years :roll: ) not too impressed to find this was a reseal even though I specifically asked the question :( not sure what to do with this one...

IMG_0346_zpse1a43c36.jpg


Anyway things get better again now... a pair of Palitoy mini-rigs complete with inserts and instructions

IMG_0341_zps3b2cd9ca.jpg


A full set of UK Series 1 Topps Star Wars cards (I sold my almost complete set years ago and really wanted to get these again) sadly the bubblegum smell I remember as a kid has completely gone from these...

IMG_0342_zps37d1f47d.jpg


And finally... not a new acquisition, but all my loose figures ready for putting on display (at last!) which I will post pics of soon :)
