Latest Acquisitions

[spoons]

A real nice spread of buys lately - the POCH Vader is unbelievable and loving how the Cloud Car displays on that stand. Great AT AT too Jayums 8)

I popped into town today and picked up something I'd never seen in the flesh before. Not quite in the same vein as Jez's Polish bootleg above as it was never officially meant to be Darth, Ideal Toys' released this 'Knight of Darkness' in 1977 to cash in on SW. Unbelievably George didn't win his subsequent law suit :lol:

The Knight is meant to have a laser pistol which is missing, and I'm very tempted to try for the R2 and 3PO knock-offs next.

Great find ... But now I'm intrigued as to what the other characters look like!

Cheers Savory and that does read a bit weird looking back but you need to get the 'Vintage Shop Directory' :lol:

At the end of a family shopping trip I popped into an antique place in Sheffield that sells a bit of vintage and after seeing that Knight it had to come home with me. There is also a talking R2 for £25 which is quite tempting but has a broken catch on the battery cover.

Gosh there are some great items showing up here. LOVE that Sigma display and the Palitoy IG88 and Tusken.

My latest addition to the focus is something I have been on the hunt for a long time. Its open, but all original and the figure is a POCH Vader as well. Just need to find a footer to complete him.

I reckon that POCH Logo is up there with the Toltoys Logo, and if that's not enough, it also has the very awesome sideways card back.

Big thanks to Jonathan for helping me get hold of this guy.

Cheers,
Pat

Incredible !!!!!! congrats tis a beauty

As a newbie and not meaning to offend I'm not sure what is exciting everyone about this vader? Is it the card or is the figure different?

 

[robpmarsh]

For me it's that cardback.....look at it!!!

Amazing

 

[Shaky_BobaFett]

Palitoy 45b snaggletooth

Another amazingly rare piece. A peach of a card.

 

[spoons]

cant believe Gary doesn't have everything yet :lol: I really like your childhood X-Wing Bosk - looks great flying like that.

I've had a bit of a spree lately but this has to be my favourite purchase. Kids today dont know how lucky they are with technology. I hope the video works, as the sound is fantastic.

[bosk70]

Thanks spoons said it before on other posts, when I was younger I used to cut up x-wings and other ships, when they were 10 a penny in the 80's and build other types of ships I'm a reformed character now honest 8)

Couple of items at this morning's local toy fair.

What looks to be a vintage Point of Sale item... any ideas as to what it was for and its age would be greatly appreciated:

Also found, what according to the excellent baggie Guide is a Klaatu Skiff in a Palitoy i baggie

 

[Dorsetmark]

Got these two beauties this mornings at booty :wink:
Just bit worried as the older gent said I could have them for free as he liked the smile they brought to my face :shock:

The DSD has a catalogue stuck to the sellotape that seals the baggie (would have happened in the box)

Still looks awesome
