A smaller thud today - but a thud of joy none the less...Also picked up my second ISP-6!!

 

[olisuds]

Some more great looking figures mate. How many more to go? You must be close to completing with the speed these are arriving in the post!

 

[PGowdy]

Really nice figures there. 8)

 

[Wookie-Balls]

Thanks guys!

Oli I'm almost done now, not going for a full set as even as a kid I wasn't too interested in the alien characters.

My focus is on getting a full set of the hero characters, all the imps, bounty hunters and pilots / rebel soldiers. Only about 11 left for me as I've kept a few of my originals.

Fancy a couple of minirigs too. But my biggest 'want' is a minty loose moulded face Jedi Luke! I have a nice blue saber, cape and palace blaster waiting for him!!!

Why specifically the moulded face version Ray?

 

[Wookie-Balls]

I had two Jedi Lukes as a kid (one blue saber and one green.) it's my favourite all time vintage figure. Sadly both ended up with the standard 'clown nose' as they were painted face versions.

I also have the moulded face Endor Commando and I prefer him over the painted face version.

Since finding out about the moulded face Luke Jedi I've hankered after owning one!!!

 

[Capetown]

Haha!

Difficult to find though.

Nearly there mate, that's great - but i reckon once you complete your hero, imperials, bounty hunters and rebel sets you'll be tempted to complete the aliens too and go for the complete set

I agree I much prefer the moulded faces over the painted ones. i have a moulded face Luke jedi but not a rebel commando yet - but that one's quite easy to pick up.

The moulded face Luke Jedi is Tawian COO and I'm sure he only came with the dark green saber and grey imperial blaster and either the sown or snap cape.

As usual some outstanding new additions,congrats to all! 8)

 

[Chewie]

I wish the bloody postman would come visit me I hate waiting for stuff!

Well done on the new arrivals matey :wink:

 

[jedi_masters]

My last 3 purchases to turn up out of the 5 I had bought in the last couple of weeks.







Very happy with these figures. Might be it for a while as I should be paying debt off.

 

[PGowdy]

EWOKS!!!
:lol:

 

[e30318is]

Wow dude thats the first clear bubble Kenner Logray I have ever seen- is there a dent on the top corner? Thats a great pick up as to get those clear is a very hard task!

Nope the bubble is 100% minty mint, not a ding, crush or mark on it. Does look like it in the pic though, only just noticed when you pointed it out. Only thing is the inner plastic mould behind the figure is a bit yellow but the bubble is as clear as when it was made. Was well chuffed when it turned up this morning.

 

[e30318is]

That is quite a find dude :lol:

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah i thought that was crushed too. Very nice Logray in that case. And a hard figure to find with a near clear bubble like yours.

 

[Wookie-Balls]

Very nice 'woks JM

Still trying to convince myself I don't require an Ewok Village playset for my den...

That Logray is very, very nice

 

[airjedijamie]

cool love the furry little blighter's

Well i'll convince you that you NEED an ewok village :lol: , very good playset in my opinion.

Yea the more I study the Logray the more I think what a bargain I got and in such good condition, very happy.

 

[Imperial nut]

EWOKS!!!
:lol:

Hello!

Remember me?

Remember this>>> http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8024

Ok. So the majority of those items have now vanished in a puff of colossal financial loss. (But never mind).
And have converted into this, which I think you'll be much more interested in.



Which is also probably quite overpriced but something I really love and am glad to own. R2D2 was the very first figure my mum bought me as a 4 year old.

I cried.

My brothers had Stormtroopers and I only had a R2. Sadly that original 12 back card was long since lost and the original R2 had most of the sticker loved off, but the link remains strong. So although this is not a fully classic 12 back, it is still a very good vintage figure, 21 back as you can see and predating the sensor scope version. (Which I also had as a child, to far less waterworks.)

I saved a few of the new figs back, the long lightsabre ones will get sold on Ebay to significantly less hassle that trying to shift all of them. I also kept the Boba Fett and Bossk because they are really nice figures, and the Dewback because it's a really nice model. As for the Episode 1 figs, I only kept the Mace Windu, because it remains a nice item, and was a gift from a friend.

 

[e30318is]

Very nice- 21 back R2, is that a tough one to find (Like Stromtrooper and Jawa?)

Nice pick up 8)

Cheers!
I don't know enough about the collectors market to know if it is a hard one to find, but checking eBay, the only other one exactly like this I can find (and there is only one) is going for $599.

Which even after exchange rate is WAY more than I payed. It's a lovely condition, really chuffed to have got it.

 

[Capetown]

Lovely R2 MOC. Congrats! I think it's a good exchange. 8)

 

[Imperial nut]

arrived today and i got them both for less than the price of a pint. haaaaawhaaaaa

i reckon i am gonna tidy the trilogo up and get a bubble for the hoth ROTJ and do a reseal.

ROTJ 65 hoth trooper

77/79 back tri-logo stormtrooper PBP?(spanish) card and standard trooper with weapon.
The fig was busted out through the front but not too much damage for the price :lol:

i love bargain hunting.especially when broke.
anyone got a bubble for a hoth trooper??

 

[airjedijamie]

i think i have a nice bubble for a hoth luke tri logo it fell off i am sure i still have it ill look in the morning and put a pic up

 

[PGowdy]

Nice Imperial pieces Steve. :wink:

 

[Capetown]

Hey Steve, judging by the fold in the card that might be a Stormtrooper that came with the POTF Ewok Combat playpack.

(not my pic)

 

[PGowdy]

That's a good point Emiel. It probably did. 8)
