Latest Acquisitions

[itfciain]

Cheers lads

Yes, the Luke Stormie does seem to be one of the harder MOCs to find - this one is in great shape and the Luke himself is brilliant white - he and the R5-D4 were the only two figures that I didn't have on at least one card

The skiff has always been one of my favourites - it is so iconic in the film and that, together with the shuttle were things I would have loved as a kid - just the buggers never really arrived over here

My collection room is on hold for now but am looking to order a lot of acrylic cases (300 or so!) so hopefully within the next six months I can put a decent display together - I am up to 208 of the 294 cards with a couple more on the way

:shock: wow, great pick ups Iain. Some real gems there.

 

[shawn_k]

So many great buys all around! 2012 is looking to be a great year!


I added a red ESB version of the Force Lightsaber to my collection recently. The top label had some problem, but on the auction I actually thought half was actually missing, so I'm happy with it. The blade was also in better condition than I was expecting. Not bad for $16 shipped BIN.

In general, how rare are these mate?

The Jedi ones are more common, but there's never a ton of them for sale on ebay. I think most are afraid of the shipping size of them. I have two main ones on my list which I'd like to add. They are a yellow esb version and then either a yellow or red "transition saber" which has a jedi sticker over the ESB logo. The version with the hanger packaging is the most expensive and requires some patience to find. From what I can tell it was only offered in 1984, so it was probably only available for a year or so before the Droids sabers took over.

 

[tigerham]

Shawn really like the saber set-up. Nice 1 dude.

 

[silver grin]

Wow! Great pickups all!

Iain... did you get that ROTJ Tie Fighter Pilot 65C off RS by any chance??! That is a beaut! If you ever find the urge to sell/trade it give us a nod :wink: :lol:

Jason, congrats on the DT Ben. I remember seeing your wtb post for the inner saber and thinking you'd be searching for awhile. Then Bill popped in saying he had one! Awesome piece!
