behold my most expensive ever starwars item! a Grail piece!A budget Vinyl Caped Jawa from a German Toy dealer via Ebay.de
the cape is original to the figure. Cape has a tear about 8mm under one arm but is not noticeable on display.
got it for £175 on a buy it now some months back now!
its taken me now to display due to a extensive cleaning process as the figure was in terrible condition with paint
embedded into the cape and the figures legs from a childs creative play.
anyway really pleased with it now and its looks amazing imo. il post some before and after pics of the clean up process in a limelight
enjoy 8)

Great Leia's.
Surely that's the focus started like you said.

Chris, amazing job on the jawa. Would love to see what it was like before the cleaning.
Those Leia cards are awesome. I hadn't seen the tall Meccano card before nor the Clipper. Superb.

spoons said:Lads of excellent additions as ever, I love the SW Characters on ESB cards - such an iconic logo
The trem and micro Falcon are also particularly fantastic
But Bruce are you sure that Leia isn't just a doll
Congrats on the pick up!
:lol: Well, out of context like this, it does look like "just a doll" with a familiar hairstyle. But, it came out in the 1980's and with that hair and a white dress, I'm betting it was a cash grab from a Mexican toy company to get some of that sweet Star Wars money.
I know I've said that I'm not buying any ugly Leia stuff, and that's still true. This was a gift. So, I'm still not buying that ugly damned Sigma mug, but if someone were to give me one, well that's different.
Speaking of Leias:

Here are a couple of items I picked up recently - neither are 'mint' (although both sealed) and both are looking like the photo was taken on a 1995 digital camera (iphone 5 actually!). Meccano and Clipper 12 backs.
Apologies for the terrible photo!
Jesus that photo is terrible on the big screen - I will take a better one asap!
Very nice pick ups, man!

Great VC Jawa and the story is what it's all about.
This 65 back arrived today, shame the bubble cracked in the post but I got it for under £25 so still very pleased.

Wow! A few stunning pieces guys
Big love for the VCJ and at a fantastic price too
My two pics of recent goodness:
A bit battered and worn, but he completes the mission of one of each figure (excluding variants like VCJ or DTs) on any cardback. The bubble crease and card damage actually looks a bit less dramatic in hand, I think the light in the picture has overly accentuated it.... oh well, I'm still over the moon!
Secondly the forum's own Iain Sanderson was kind enough to dig through his buckets of beaters (hence why I'm posting in the LA thread with these) and pull together a dirty (literally) dozen beater Luke X-Wing pilots for me. For a long time I've wanted to try making up some custom figs, but was never brave enough, the rebel pilots certainly have the scope to play around with that after a week or so of spending my evenings painting and reconfiguring have turned out to be quite a nice run of homemade customs... if I do say so myself!

Nice Yak there Savoury. Must be a great feeling to complete the run.
Typical trilogo as well. Chuck any old weapon in with the figure.

That VCJ looks really good too, and at a reasonable price - and yes, lets see some before and after pics if you have them
Good pick ups here guys.

that last page - outstanding :shock: Leias, MOC hauls with Palitoy, Yak, VC Jawa and a bargain at that. A real shame Klaatu cracked as he looks absolutely mint, and those customs are fantastic
Here's my latest, a bit rough around the edges but one more off my Palitoy die cast list - and I've suddenly found myself with a mini Darth Vader TIE run The only downer is I ended up paying £20 customs and handling twice and the value was only marked at $50 - thieving bastards!
I've got a die cast grail arriving next - very excited :mrgreen:

Bit quiet on the figure front for now, starting on the creatures and ships. Got this bad boy to start me off. Electrics all working too

Yes, in awe of those diecasts, trying to put together a set myself and finding decent ones is bloody hard!
That grail piece wouldn't be a Tie Bomber would it :wink: 8)

There might be a lot of negativity about collecting these days but it doesn't seem to stop members on these forums getting some amazing pieces.
Well done all.
