*A Comparison shot of normal han hoth jacket with the pbp violet jacket its hard too tell in a picture but you can tell when side by side with a normal one how different it looks. the pbp is the one on the right with darker grey jacket :)

Nice one! Has anyone checked out the other figures in the lot for you? I'd be happy to give them the once over via PM if you have any photos?
 
Not really a recent acquisition, but I found this whilst rummaging through my old bedroom at my parents this evening:

It's from Topps' "Star Wars Galaxy Collector" magazine #4, issued in 1998.
 
You've done very well on those variants Poncho - the DBRS is a really cool variant and everyone and his brother is after the Tri Logo Fett's so financially - a good purchase :D
 
I like Joe's idea - but maybe it was left out as it was around the time it was transitioning from a vinyl cape to a cloth cape ?
 
Well I'm normally smiling when I post in this thread but not today.
Got the chance to buy one of my all time favourite toys last week - absolute gorgeous boxed Palitoy Han Solo Blaster.
Both blaster and box were stunning and couldn't wait for it too arrive.

Look what just got dropped off

Looks like the brain dead gorrilas had some fun with the "fragile" item

Sender had used 2 strong boxes and packaging was first class - **** knows what the hero's at Hermes did to squash it this much.
The beautiful Palitoy box is crushed (will add pictures later but I'm just too ****** pissed off just now)

Just got a text from my daughter who's coming home from her 1st foreign holiday to say her suitcase full of presents has been damaged - why can't folk paid to handle other peoples property not just make a little bit more of an effort and do their ******* jobs properly.

Here's a picture from Primary School story book - We were planning to go through to Aberdeen to the "Big Toy shop" and as you can see I was super excited about getting my Han Blaster.

"I am going to get a Han Solo gun with a secret button it makes a noise when you press it"
 
That makes me sick DB, what a shame. I have to say I have found the Hermes service is pretty shoddy at the best of times but that makes my blood boil. And such a stunning piece as well.
 
Damn sorry to see it arrived like that mate, you must be gutted, is there any chance the company will pay for the damage? little comfort i know

Total sympathy mate, that looks heartbreaking. Unfortunately that's modern society for you. The government doesn't give a **** about the lowly paid so the lowly paid in turn don't give a **** about anything.

What does pbp mean? Some sort of variant?
Click to expand...

PBP was a Spanish toy company that had the SW license in the same way Palitoy did. Some of the best, and most sought after variants are PBP.
 
MyHermes!! Bloody hell that looks like it was done on purpose. Thankfully everything I've sent via them has arrived safely.
 
Cheers for the comments, sorry about loosing it a bit in the original post, was raging - actually still am.
I know there are much more important things happing in the world and I shouldn't get so angry but it just doesn't look accidental, sure someone has stamped or sat on it. Just annoying that I was so excited about it arriving (just like the wee boy in the picture) but when it did instead of being chuffed It just spoilt my day.

I've contacted Hermes so will see what they say about it, but here is the important thing for starwarsforum.co.uk I let the seller know about the parcel being damaged, emphasised it was nothing for him to worry about as his packaging was first class but he replied immediately telling me to keep blaster but he would refund my money as he knew how gutted I was. I'm not going to embarrass him by saying his name but he is a member and quite obviously a top bloke. I have politely refused the refund but just wanted to highlight again why buying from members on here is always the best option - so many people put people and the hobby before money which is frankly bloody amazing in this day and age. The Force is strong my friends the Force is strong.

An Imperial Commander from Iain



A working Blaster which has had me (a military man) running around the house; phew phew phew, i love it!



And here is the community love thread:
I bought a couple of extra variant bootlegs from Marc (Theguiltyone) and he throws in an extra for me, utterly chuffed (the free bad boy is on the left!).



And out of the blue i receive a lovely gift of this amazing ROTJ Premier screening invite from Mark Daniels, mate i'm blown away.

That is ******* awful! :shock: Let us know how it goes with Hermes. There's no way that was done accidentally.
 
I've just taken my first step into a much smaller world.

Does anyone know what I'm meant to do with those computer banks? Seems a bit mad to leave them out in the snow.
