Latest Acquisitions

Lots of good pick ups. Not put mine on here for a while.

Bargain Palitoy die-cast Millennium Falcon - resealed but looks great:

This is an upgrade from LeeG:

Finally got one of these, he's been a tough cookie to get, it needs to be properly resealed and a footer adding:

And finally completed the first 12 Palitoy figures. It's missing the footer and it's completely resealed so god knows how I'll get it in!

 

[x-pack]

Slider - was that Falcon off Ebay?

 

[Palifan]

Fantastic news on completing the 12 back run Stevie and that Han's a belter! DSC looks great and I noticed the price that the rebel commander went for the other day, great price and glad you got it. I still don't understand why the figure has a tash and the picture doesn't and I'm also still fighting the urge to expand on my 30 backs but I think enough is enough for me.

All that Palitoy goodness is great to see in one hit and just love those die cast bigger boxed vehicles.

Congrats on finishing the 12 back palitoy run TS very nice indeed!
Just added a jumbo Vader not vintage but a nice addition to my vader focus.

 

[Palifan]

He does look really good next to the little fellow, can't believe the saber's as big as him!

 

[Dublinjeff]

Great cards there slider

That Vader figure looks super

 

[SOJ]

After taking a punt on a General Mills Han Bespin last week, which ended up being a Toni I splash out and got the real thing.

As well as the 41 back Han I also received a 32 back IG88 I've been awaiting a couple of weeks to arrive from the states. Not only did I get screwed on import duty, the base of stem of the bubble was cracked, nothing major but a little disappointing. Hopefully I can get some money back off the seller.

These are 2 figures I've coverted carded for years and it's thrilling to finally own them.

great pickups guys
great pali haul slides 8)

a small recent pickup i noticed my loose complete tusken raider had silver missing on on his head spikes and tusks

so i upgraded the fig from ebay for a couple of quid has tight limbs too... bonus

 

[Captainsolo1978]

Wow amazing pickups folks.

 

[theslider]

X-Pack: yes

Those jumbo figures look great loose!

 

[Pomse2001]

Need to share this one as it really is the last 'figure' i needed to finish the full house and here it is. To be fair the set is quite beat up, the box is tatty and there is conciderable lifting on the bubble, not to mention the yellowing, but somehow it looks great and i couldn't be happier to have the run finished now.

Hi Mate, nice rebo band

Ponchobelt, nice ROTJ Stormie card mate and bargain mint TR and R2.
Holy Crap Brown bear thats an awesome story, good on your Mum.
Adam, cracking MOCs mate. I'd love to have an AT AT Driver and Han Carbonite.
Monkey Roo thats a great Rebo Band mate.
The Slider, bargain Falcon and nice MOCs dude
Jambobbyb that Vader looks great next to the vintage one.
Son of Jango Congrats on those cards mate, the look great.

Well my collecting had taken a bit of a tangent, as i decided to go for a few oddball items to go in my spare cabinet.
I was waiting for the items to arrive from the US when i had my loft find
The very next day my oddball stuff arrives, bonus!
Now after cleaning up the figures, Wampa, Speeder Bike, and AT ST i'm ready to show you





I felt that my life wasn't complete without a vintage; comb, scissors, glue gun, ruler, sharperner, pencil set, set of 6 tins, a plaster taun taun, a table cloth, some party hats, party invite, birthday cards, hole re-enforcements, Bubble Bath, toothbrush, Fridge Magnets and Ralph concept artwork. The first edition 1977 cinema program is mint!

I understand fully why Grant & Todd collect Oddball stuff

Todd & Jamie Chamberlain, you are amazing!

Been awhile since I've last had something to post, but I have 2 new additions. First, is a Clipper, which I've had the worst luck in acquiring until now. Glad I was finally able to land this one.

The next is a Hi-C mail away set of stickers with the mail away envelope along with the cutout advert for the offer.

:shock: 8)

Some fantastic pick ups everyone. Seriously great stuff

 

[spoons]

what Gary said - great stuff everyone. love Jez's oddball items - a nice change form the norm, and Ace's display is something special.

I've just treated myself to a few things - last time I did that for a birthday I was Tonied...

JC Penney exclusive TIE for my focus - the TIE is like its never been put together

and a Palitoy Dagobah to replace one i sold and regretted - thanks Waz

lastly not vintage SW, but a vintage Palitoy Action Man space rifle - where else can you get MOC blue and red logos for a fiver :mrgreen:

 

[grinchy]

great scores everyone,
well this is my memorabilia haul, went yesterday, got a few more of my list

need a staff for the amanaman, and a belt etc for poncho luke, but glad to have them, the death star droin was in a baggie and i should have checked it out, has very floppy limbs, does using thread help out with loose limbed figures?
also came home to an ebay buy, i said to myself i wasn't going to be a loose card collector, but bought this lot in a last minute bid

 

[Bramistuta25]

£22 delivered... Deal of the year so far for me. (sorry about the poor quality of pic).

Bubble and figure are MINT, but has more waves than Cornwall seaside!
