My better half found this at the bottom of a box I almost threw out, forgot I had it, so not technically new, but I am so pleased it was found that I thought I would share, not sure how many of these are still floating about out there & I am sure at least Shawn will have some love for it, just need to get me a stamp to go on it now :mrgreen:

I will try & get some photos up of the last lot of baggies I got back from UKG a while back as I know that update is well over due & just wait till you see what the postie brought me this morning, just need to get photobucket working for me - is it just me or is it totally ****ed since they changed it.

Never seen one of those before. You need the light green version from 1980 to be authentic:-

Nice one Jason, can't be that many about if you've never seen one buddy, I did not think they would be quite that rare, I think this has to one of the only items I still have from my childhood collection bar my burned stormtrooper, & funnily enough I do still remember that it was that light green stamp that came with it, looks like I will have to find me a frame to put it in then & give it a nice spot in the collection.

I think it came with the Dengar mail away as that was the only mail away figure I got from memory & you never see them up for sale, more is the pity as I really want one.

And the postage cost of that....

90p

Let's hope they don't use the stamp to make that up!
 
Hi Frank thanks for the kind words mate :wink: nice paper from palitoy you have found it looks so cool. I have never seen such a paper before or heard about it before, wow 8)

Hi tatsie, sounds great good luck with that focus and yes I think it would be expensive :wink:
 
Thanks guys, well hold the presses!, finally got the item I have been paying for, for what seems like forever, but its my holy grail, so I'm made up with it, got another baggie related oddity on the way to me at the mo to that I am pretty excited about.

I am sure those that know me will understand why its such a grail piece for me with it having been the only way to get the pin head han in SW-a baggie.

To say I am excited about this would be an understatement, just the SO landspeeder to find now :p
 
Wow frank that is so cool, X-Wing fighter with special offer sticker on it and everything is still mint. That is awesome, congratulations mate 8)
 
Frank, that's epic mate!! :shock:
You must be pretty stoked with it. Didn't you already have old pin head in the same Baggie, or am I imagining it???
Congrats again mate.
 
Yeah to say I am over the moon is an understatement, got the SO Tie one end of a display shelf with the SO X wing at the other & I keep looking at them think - no way, no fricking way, never thought I would be lucky enough to ever own even one of them, but patience & chipping bits of the block bit by bit has paid diffidence in the long run, been paying for these for over 8 months bit by bit as the seller was good enough to let me pay that way thankfully or I would never have owned one.

As for cost I am not 100% Chris as I bought quite a few items off the guy, but it was over a thousand bucks for sure :shock: but for me its worth it as its right up there in lights as far as baggie collecting goes & is my holy grail, only one other item in baggie terms that I don't yet have is IMO on par with it & I will be lucky if I ever see that in the flesh let alone own one, but you just never know what the future holds so I am keeping everything crossed, after all if someone told me last year that I would have a woolies 8 pack or a SO X wing I would have thought they were talking a load of ****, glad you all like it & thanks for all the very kind comments its appreciated guys.

& Lee you are bang on the money, I do have another pin head han in the SW-a baggie, 2 others as a matter of fact, which is really odd as he is like one of the rarest baggies out there & one I was hunting for over 5 years till I managed to get my hands on one, now I have 3 & sold my graded example earlier this year - like bloody buses I tell you, I now have 3 of the 4 known (or should I say unknown) pin head han baggie types (SW-a/b & d) & was just offered another SW-d one this week from a respected US baggie collector, only the 2nd I have ever seen - buses I tell you, buses! :lol:

So if anyone is looking for a pin head han baggie, I is ya huckleberry!

The palitoy flyer/leaflet is also a gret little item I am really pleased with even though it seems like nothing in comparison, its a real nice oddity that I am really pleased with.

Well I think that would be me topped out on this thread for like a year :lol:
 
Awesome Frank, really chuffed for you. Haven't seen one of those before.
Are you the owner of the only Pin Head Han in the UK? There can't be that many :D
 
Congratulations on getting a holy grail item - must be a fantastic feeling
Really is something special
Really chuffed for you, well done
:D
