Latest Acquisitions

[Frunkstar]

& this was the filling of my other parcel today, not my usual sort of buy for sure but for the first time in the new toy lines run I have found some items I like (astromech droids being the only other exception that I know of), all pretty much case fresh to.

Got these at a great price & could not resist, goodness only knows where they are going to fit in to my collection.

sorry for the total lack of vintage in the last 2 posts

Just check out the detail on this Gamorrena guard -

& this lot got here yesterday, to go toward my lads Christmas box, big thanks to Gary for sorting me out a treat! he is going to go stark staring mental when he opens everything

Hey Frank. Thanks for posting this.
Will reply to your PM now too before I go to bed. Glad you liked all the bits and yes, my gf has made the chocolate tree herself and the ingredients of the box are a co production of my gf and me.

Btw, did you notice that in the instruction the "Götterspeise-Box" reads "Kenner"? I really had fun creating this and knew you would like it.

Oh you two need to get a room. :lol:

Seriously gusy. Probably the two best latest acquisition posts I have ever read on here. Thanks for sharing them the way you did. Lots of fun. Certainly a lot more entertaining than the norm.

 

[maniac79]

Thanks, Josh.

Btw, I like the VTCs a lot, Frank. Will have to get a Grievous and Gamm. Guard later.

Great stuff guys. Looking forward ti seeing more of these posts over the next 2 weeks.

Yeah, totally 2 great storytellers. Frank, that jelly cracks me up, wicked!! And what a big heart from Dennis too. Nice to see there are still some good people on this planet!

Hey Frank I really enjoyed reading your post and I love those custom instructions - great work Dennis! 8)
As for those modern figures they actually look really cool - the detail is amazing ( my favourite that line is the Blue Snaggletooth! )

My last 2 ROTJs.

And hopefully next month I'll get a Weequay ROTJ. 8)

I have one if you are interested, in pretty good condition IMO 2 - possible trade fodder?

Its a Palitoy as well which may or may not make it a little more of interest, I am after 77 back droids - hint hint

 

[maniac79]

Wow, Liam! You had me searching the whole net for the VTC blue Snaggletooth. But I didn't find it! I did find him only in a Cantina playset from the OTC line. Interesting that they released this playset with a blue one, huh?

I assume it was this fella you were talking about? Or did they release one on card too?

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Sorry to mislead mate. I didnt release it was a custom carded figure on an " A New Hope card". Here is some info about it - http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/pro-custom-blue-snaggletooth-20b-anh-171155723.

Don't worry. Would have liked it very much though.

 

[Frunkstar]

Thank you so much guys, I am glad I have been worthy of following Dennis's example, still realing from the package, thanks Dennis

I will try & get some photos of my few latest vintage buys up tomorrow if I get a mo to take some photos

Well, I lucked out today! Went to a garage sale earlier which was advertised as a huge vintage sale, but when we got there it was just some guy selling various crap out of his garage. I was disappointed until I found a large box at the end of the driveway...Here's what was inside:

Various parts; Looks like part of the Ewok Glider, Two mikes from the Max Reebo band, the backpack for Removable Limb 3PO, someone's cape/jacket (Maybe Lando? not sure) and what looks like two struts for the Death Star Playset (I say this because there was the big blue top gun from that set in the bag, but it was rather broken).

Another AT-ST, only missing the top gun.

3 Mini-Rigs and another Speederbike; The Shuttle I believe is missing the top wing, the skiff I think is complete as well as the AST-5. Speeder is only missing the back flaps

A beater Vader TIE

and the big prize, an almost complete Y-Wing!

As far as I can tell the Y-Wing is missing one of the engine struts, the two front guns and the two part bomb. The battery compartment looks immaculate so hopefully the electronics work.

Got this all for about $40, and I had to dig through the box to find all the parts (the Y-Wing, Skiff and TIE were taken apart). The guy was trying to entice me to check out his "full collection" he had at some other house, but he was rather creepy and wanted $700+ for the collection, saying this before I had even looked at it. I declined and we left soon afterwards.

But anyway, what do you think?

 

[Frunkstar]

KesselRunPDX, outstanding! some very cheap items, though if he charged $40 for this lot I would urge you to go check out the rest of his collection no matter how creepy he is, you guys get guns over there so take one with you just in case his creepynes turns out to be serial killer creepynes :lol:

Goodnes only knows what gems he may have, so maybe worth a look, but cracking deal at $40

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

I second what Frank says! Not matter how creepy if he seems go check it out mate! :wink:

Nice lot for $40 BTW 8)

May well be my last items for this year but I do have a sweet multi-pack en route :mrgreen:

I got my first Graded figure a month back & forgot to post it up here, not that I am that much in to loose in carbonite, but this one is a peach & was a great price that I would have expected to pay for LL Fett loose in this sort of condition.

First ever graded baggies came last week to add to the above dude so he is not longer a lonely carbonite boy, most pleased with these & also at a great price.

& this fellow turned up from a member on here the other day to go toward my side run of 77 back droids (3 down now), the condition bar some yellowing to the bubble is superb, super happy with this fellow.

& yes Dennis I did note that the Jelly instructions had Kenner on them - you taking the piss or what? - don't you know us UK boys are the Palitoy brigade! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Sweet Jesus Frank you werent lying when you said those multipacks looked Awesome! 8)

Could I ask how much that Ledy Fett set you back mate?

Overall, freakin awesome additons to end the year on! 8)

 

[itfciain]
