Wow, this forum has seen some bargains this year, the £7 yak face and now the £11 20 back tusken. GREAT BUY!!!!
Where did you get it from?

 

[phreatobite]

Bizarrely, it was ebay. The seller said he had replaced his 20 backs and sold a few like the Tusken Raider - wish I'd got them all.

Most painful was the R2 21bk that went for £28 and a gorgeous Vader 21bk that went for £28.

 

[weasel]

What the hell did he have them listed under!?

 

[phreatobite]

Ok, sellers id is gazsolo... his feedback indicates he had a lot of really nice pieces for sale.

 

[tigerham]

Fook me, how come they all went for so cheap?? I dont understand why no-one else bid one these. :?

 

[Joe]

Nice find, you should have won them all lol

Ham- not many people check in "Collectables > Science Fiction > Star Wars > Other Star Wars" for vintage, as there is a vintage section - that would explain the prices.

You can always find decent deals in the collectables section

 

[tigerham]

Thanks Joe.

 

[Paul-itoy]

That is a major cock up by the seller.

Even my specific 12 back/ 20 back/ 21 back search didn't find these as I only use those searches in the toys section.

 

[trilogoman]

I got these today: Vintage loose SLAVE 1 with frozen Solo and instructions...

Sorry about the picture size

Nice Slave purchase Trilogoman (sorry dont know your name ) Always been an interesting piece to me as never remeber it as a kid. Good work dude.

 

[trilogoman]

Thanks

 

[PGowdy]

Nice Slave. Looks in good condition too. 8)

 

[trilogoman]

I had the choice as a child (I think it was in 1987 or 1988 :? ) between AT-ST Walker, TIE
Interceptor and Slave 1. I chose the Interceptor, we had no more money
Now after more than 20 years I've got it

Check the introductions thread Ham you lazy bastard. :lol:

Peter, love the Slave I, but it's boxed mate, not loose. :wink:

 

[trilogoman]

Oh sorry, I'm so confused today

 

[tigerham]

Sorry Emiel. Trilogoman (sorry dont know your name) I know what it's like to get things you couldn't back then. Get that exciting feeling again!

 

[spoons]

a busy week for me, I've only been selling recently but a couple of new purchases.

I'm slowly building a beater Death Star for my kids and the gun and monster arrived this week. Just need one grey strut now and the rope.

and an INT-4 cromalin for me, it only took three months to arrive :shock:

 

[burnsy]

Nice Andy 8)

 

[weasel]

Nice mate!

3 months, WTF?

 

[burnsy]

Yeah, how come so long?

You got many Croms??

 

[Joe]

Awesome Andy!

Great to see you back buying again mate, is the crom framed and if so did you buy it that way? Looks great

Don't worry this year I have spent all year waiting for purchases Try 8 months for one deal

 

[spoons]

cheers chaps, the cromalin is my first one and I'm well chuffed - I'm going to get it framed but at the moment it's in a large wallet, which was a freebie from the seller as it took so long.

The cromalin sat in a US post office for a month as the customs info was wrong, it then got returned to sender and finally made its way to me via the UK Christmas post :roll:

The only positive was that I escaped customs

Something I don't think I've ever done, unless the value is marked below the threshold. :twisted:

 

[burnsy]

What made you go down the Croamlin route Spoons?

You looking to pick a few more up?

not really, I've got an INT-4 focus going on and the cromalin was at a good price. I might get others if the mood takes me.

I plan to have my AT-AT proof and INt-4 croamlin both displayed at some point, I'm going to need a big wall

I've only been charged a couple of times, but most items I buy are cheap or marked low

 

[Capetown]

Lovely cromalin Andy. Great stuff.

 

[DarthStanley]

Phreatobite-some cracking MOC bargains!

Peter-very nice ESB Slave 1!

Andy-awesome INT-4 chromalin!

Congrats to all! 8)

 

[trilogoman]

Thanks, Darth!

 

[Josh]

Nice buys peoples.

Spooner. That INT-4 Chromalin will look ace with the AT-AT one next to it. 8)
