At last it arrived!!!

Been waiting a while on this baby and I'm well chuffed. This now sits within my top 5 items in my collection.

The arrival of this also showed a shift in my wife's interest in my SW obsession.

The converstaion went something like this...

The Wife : 'Something else arrived for you today, the box ix in the other room'.

Me : 'Yeah thanks I got it'

The Wife 'What was it?'

Me : 'Oh that item from Mexico that went missing, been waiting months for it'

The Wife : 'Bootleg?' (this is the bit that shocked me!!!!)

Me (I start to get excited and ramble as she's shown an interest : 'No it's a boxed Ledy ship, bloody rare and I'm stoked' (I did ramble more than that).

Then the dreaded question :

The Wife : "How much was that?'

I give a slightly deflated price as my answer.

The Wife : " HOW MUCH!?!? That's more than me Ugg Boots!!'

 

[silver grin]

another droid Pete?!!! You sure you're not starting a droid focus? :lol: :wink:

lovely LL box Stu. Looks a real beaut!

I try and hide what I buy from the wife and use the usual "I bought it ages ago and it got lost in the post! It was a steal love!"

:lol:

 

[Capetown]

Stu! :shock:

 

[PGowdy]

Thanks Nick :lol: I have bought quite a few 'droids' recently. R5 and 2-1B are two of my favourites. 8)

 

[burnsy]

Stu! :shock:

I know, I know.

I should put my foot down and tell her she can't ******* have those stupid Ugg boots, but sometimes you've just got to give in.

 

[Capetown]

Pete, fantastic R5 mate. My favourite droid.

Lee, those Palitoy MOCs are absolute crackers! Wonderful. 8)

 

[PGowdy]

Cheers Emiel. Mine too!

 

[burnsy]

Yeah, awesome R5 Pete.

As I've said to you already mate, one of my fav SW carded figures.

 

[Capetown]

I hate UGG boots. :evil:

But I adore that Tie. Love the paperwork being present too!

 

[PGowdy]

The Tie is awesome but probably not as comfortable as foot-wear.

 

[Lee Gregory]

Stu lad that Vaders Tie is clearly streets ahead of a pair of stupid Ugg boots. Women eh!

Cheers for the comments lad's on me latest Pali pickups.

 

[spoons]

two beauties there chaps - the R5 looks mint and the TIE is something else.

Your missus could always wear a TIE wing on each foot Stu, they could be all the rage....or perhaps not :wink:

 

[Caswellbot]

Great LL Tie Stu! Im not the biggest fan of UGG boots. In all honesty, she might look better a couple of Tie Fighters on her feet! :lol:

 

[burnsy]

I'll run it by her tomorrow night. I'll let you know the reaction

 

[Capetown]

I'll run it by her tomorrow night. I'll let you know the reaction

Don't! She might vent her righteous anger on my X-Wing! :shock:

 

[Caswellbot]

:lol: :lol:

 

[burnsy]

I'll run it by her tomorrow night. I'll let you know the reaction

Don't! She might vent her righteous anger on my X-Wing! :shock:

LOL, when that arrives and I tell her it's for a mate she'll be like 'Yeah, right...what next????!'

that looks sweet

 

[PGowdy]

Thanks Lee.

 

[tigerham]

Dude said it before but wicked R5-D4, good work! :wink:

 

[ooohteeny!]

I just acquired a Snow Speeder without the stickers applied, it's in a TriLogo ROTJ box.

As I've said before, I'm new to this, would putting the stickers on etc be some form of cardinal sin? It seems to me a shame to leave them in the box, it's easy one of the best looking vehicles imo.

As usual, any guidance is much appreciated.

 

[PGowdy]

My only question would be - would that detract from the value for resell?. Dunno. But if that doesn't bother you, why not add the stickers. :wink:
