Latest Acquisitions

[Richard_H]

Some of my latest purchases. Another R5 in its packaging. :lol: :wink: :wink: Huge thanks to whoever sent the Palitoy cardback to me. I know I haven't paid for it and I'm trying to track you down!

 

[sith-smith]

nice. You should start an R5D4 focus!

 

[sith-smith]

I wish I did. Everything is boxed up!

Greedo 20 back cardback £20 from Ebay. Can't afford the extra £3680 for one with a figure with bubble!

 

[sith-smith]

Nice

While we are on Cantina Creatures, here's my latest. A 45a Hammerhead. Not the greatest of condition as the bubble, though sealed has badly split in places. Looks like something heavy was placed on it! Still, happy to have one. Huge thanks to Joey who sourced this for me. 8)

Hammy's a sicko. Great acquisition. Another leftie. A character that would be in my top 5 underused characters in the original trilogy alongside 4lom, Zuckuss and Greedo (although he was dead).

That is a nice looking cardback and does seem good value in comparison to the Vectis MOC! Is it just me or do Palitoy cards seem to tear a lot less than their Kenner counterparts?

Kenner bubbles are lot more firmer in place than palitoys

Cheers. Sounds like there's also a lesson in there for anybody tasked with looking after a less firm Palitoy MOC for future generations. :?

Loving all the Palitoy madness, great to see. :shock:

Couple of cheeky new additions

Few Clippers - including a Klaatu with both stickers from a recent hoarder find in Holland

A very nice sealed Sand Skimmer (from the same find)

An opened 6 pack box with the original figures

Cheeky little Takara wind up R2 (no stickers)

Trilogo AT-AT Commander - wrong weapon (thanks Bram)

Trilogo Romba (Clipper Sticker - thanks Andrew)

And finally a Trilogo Hybrid Greedo (so I am back up to owning 4 of them now)

Thanks to everyone who helped me pick these up both on FB and here - and also thanks to Neil for holding some and then sending them out

I don't usually post much on this thread, but I got this today and to be honest it's probably the cheapest thing I've bought for a couple of months but I love it, it's fully working and I may actually buy a second one for the house to use. Head still turns as does breathing noises etc.

Did anyone ever have one of these phones in use back in the 80s?

 

[Cazza]

Nice haul, Iain. Glad you got Romba safe and sound 8) Love that ESB 6 pack!

 

[poncho]

iain - love the clipper klaatu and sand skimmer nice finds bud 8)

 

[indianawars]

Holy smokes guys - There are some fantastic items being snapped up.

 

[TheGent]

Iain, what can I say? Great find, great stuff. That 6pack is magic (wish they had done more of those!).

Congrats.

 

[TrisCompany]

4 Trilogo hybrid Greedo's! Great effort.

 

[spoons]

more fantastic wonderfulness - love that phone and Iain's six pack 8)

Here's my latest - a 1982 Kenner Revenge retail brochure. You have to look very closely for the Revenge bit :lol: I bought a few so have spares for sale for anyone interested.

 

[TrisCompany]

Love that Spoons.

(Surely whoever took that photo didn't know how AA holds his staff?)

Well spotted - maybe he's using it as a weapon?

 

[user 5830]

The six pack... Wow, just wow!
Great pick up Iain 8)

 

[stormcab]

5 new 12 backs collected over the last couple of months since getting back into collecting. R2 just arrived today. That's 8 now, so just after the last 4. Need Chewie, Luke, Obi-Wan, Sand People. Sticking to collecting lower graded ones, as this will save me several thousand pounds, and means I can choose a focus soon. DSC afa 60 (back A), Stormtrooper afa 70 (archival, Takara), Jawa afa 70, C-3PO afa 75, R2-D2 afa 75.

 

[timbo72]

Some great pick ups guys

 

[Stuart Skinner]

4 Trilogo hybrid Greedo's! Great effort.

I'm guessing he may mean he's got four of the Trilogo hybrid mocs that are available rather than meaning he owns four greedo Trilogo hybrids, but I may be wrong x x
