I introduce you to the rarest of all the figures, the holy grail: Gluefoot.

I'm looking for 9,000 pounds..


What really happened is, 18 years ago I went on holiday to New Zealand and came home to find my brother had melted two beaters together to create "gluefoot". My youngest brother proudly displays him in his Newbury bedroom.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

A trio of beauties there Ben. Congrats 8)

 

[db94]

That is 3 lovely loose figures - well done mate

Wife and daughter did me proud with fathers day presents - Palitoy INT-4 with instructions and used sticker sheet plus a minty loose Ugnaught

Really chuffed as I only have the Ewok catapult to get and I'll have all the mini rigs, with any luck I'll be updating this picture soon with one that has the catapult in the bottom right space

 

[x-pack]

DB94 - I really like your mini-rig focus Looks great on display

Sweet loose figures Mr Shifter

 

[Grant_C]

I really like that Vader TIE Fighter. I so need to upgrade mine.

 

[Stormvader]

Yeah thanks really pleased with it, would like to put it in a display case but are quite expensive (£55 from ukg in fact same price as getting it graded with them). Cheers

 

[rob71]

Great Tie Fighter, and that Tauntaun is a thing of beauty.

Tatsie, nice display - did you get the cabinet from Ikea?

Great display Jez.

 

[poncho]

Awesome tie ship 8) Thanks for all the comments about my pali taun. Im still over the moon about it. I think in the future im going to get a acrylic case for it.

 

[Grant_C]

I would mate- I've started doing that for some of my rare boxed stuff or top condition stuff

 

[poncho]

Ukg do a sliding case for my particular piece.gw christian dont make cases for these yet. Il have to start saving up

 

[Bok]

The Vader TIE Fighter is very nice. And I really like the collection of mini rigs - they look really good.

This arrived today - another baggie for the Gamorrean Guard focus. Many thanks to Frank for pointing us in the direction of this one

(and as everyone seems to be talking about acrylic, I'll need to get something to protect this guy!)

 

[TheGent]

Although torso has slightly yellowed, although it took more weeks than expected, this taiwanese grey pants buddy right from the center made my day.

 

[Spookedhippie]

Jesus Christ gent, that is sweet!

 

[Simply Sci-fi]

A Taiwanese grey pants Luke Skywalker? Lovely. We thought we knew a lot of variations in the 90's but now it's off of the scale.

Craig.

 

[TheGent]

I saw this variation while crawling through craignwo4life's variants thread. His collection still is inspiring, such a shame he's gone already!

My original Talking R2-D2 went missing some time ago and all I've had is the box. It might turn up at some point but I've been on the lookout for a replacement.

I was very pleased to pick up a pair of talking R2-D2s on eBay that I can't help but show off here. One is working and has quite fresh looking white plastic. The chrome on the dome is in good condition but the blue paint is quite worn (I may look out for a replacement dome in my travels). The mechanism works fine.

The other one is quite yellowed (worse than in the picture) and unfortunately it has been left too close to the fire and is warped. The activation button is also warped so there's no telling if it works or not. The chrome on the dome is in pretty poor shape too.

The cost for the pair including postage was £36.09 which I thought was a real bargain.

I'll be putting the yellowed one up on eBay soon to claw back some of the cost. I'm not sure what a yellowed, slightly warped Talking R2-D2 is worth now days!

Craig.

 

[spoons]

A lot of lovely vintage since I last looked in here, that Taun Taun is a steal and a great advert for popy acrylic - might have to buy one of those for my popy HH

[simoncardwell]

Got my display stand from Christian at GW Acrylic. It will house my complete loose collection. And no I don't do variants no vinyl jawa or blue snaggle but I was born in 1981 so they were before my time.

If you need acrylic cases or display stands, speak to Christian.

 

[Simply Sci-fi]

Holy... someone else is up at this crazy hour.

Fantastic loose collection - especially the Max with non-faded arms. I'm liking it a lot.

I tend to display my figures with vinyl capes with the "collar" down. I don't know what the consensus on that one is.

Craig.

 

[db94]

That is a nice blue Max and the acrylic riser is a great way to display loose figures
