Latest Acquisitions

[Capetown]

I haven't contributed in a while, so here's something I got in December but hadn't gotten round to photograph properly.

It's a Palitoy Dagobah set. Many thanks to Marc (theguiltyone) for giving me first refusal.

Very nice mate, what condition is the sponge in? The last one of these i looked at it had gone completely.

 

[Capetown]

It's still really nice. Looks untouched by human hands and time basically. I'm really happy with it.

[Imperial nut]

Lyn was a spammer thing and the ghost posts look funny, ie the ones left behind,,, dont worry weasel i am sure lyn wasnt a real girl :lol:

nice dagobah and that big han is about the only one that actually looks like han, pretty cool.

It was a spammer who's now banned and who's post has been deleted.

Sorry it isnt vintage but i love to collect exclusive star wars figures. So got these 2

There are vintage stuff lined up soon to win respect :lol:

 

[PGowdy]

very nice Drew. I briefly owned one of them but sold it for a huge profit. lol

 

[drew]

I think its a cool wee buy this is especially an "exclusive" I want to buy one more so i can have the figure loose to play with :lol: One is kept sealed in box forever, One kept in package for display and one born free. No intention on selling for profiting want to keep it for a very long long time.

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah i think that's a good idea. They look great loose but you gotta keep one in the packaging. :wink:

 

[drew]

I guess i will have to treasure these as i guess these are gonna be the only carded figures id be able to afford happily :lol: I have 2 more individual exclusives on the way :wink:

 

[e30318is]

Very cool mate- can I ask, where did you buy from and how much did they cost?

 

[drew]

TOYS R US!!! get buying!! £7.99!!! max of 2 buys only

 

[tigerham]

Nice buys Drew and they were a good price compared to most on ebay, great work.

 

[drew]

I think hunting for bargains is more exciting than looking at final expensive prices. I always seem to have some luck in finding bargains so lets see how the star wars universe gets on with me in future

 

[Rich.b]

Got to agree with the shopping for bargains mentality
I am about 3 short of the first 75 loose vintage figures now and I can count on my fingers the amount I have paid over a fiver for

 

[tigerham]

lol, nice work Rich.

 

[Imperial nut]

that fett is the only modern "vintage" figure they got right. Enjoy shooting the rocket into face like thye should have let you when we were kids. and they say health and safety have got stricter.

 

[Clone Collector]

Some really great buys from the last few pages...the Dagobah set is minty mint! managed to rebuild mine, bought some new cargo boxes, a branch elevator and an R2 adaptor..

And those Fett's are class, have two myself, but still pondering on another two, one for loose and one for sale in the future..

Here be the latest bargain buy..£13 for this Jedi carded Tebbo, unpunched, 77 back, made in Hong Kong, comes with the Snootles, Glider, Catapult and Rancor adds on the reverse.

Also, I have noticed while looking at this card, that Lando Skiff has unpainted legs...is this a common error on any other backs?

 

[Caswellbot]

Nice pick up dude at that price.

The unpainted lando legs in the photo is the norm I feel. It is the same on all of my Kenner ROTJ 77 backs. The legs appear painted however on all the 65 backs and 79 backs. Strange one.
