Cheers man, was doing a bit of digging online and there seems to be a few diferent ones out there. Hadn't seen them before and don't remember them growing up. Just liked the box photo and it displays nice.....

Great new proofs Soren, that focus is really coming along now mate. That kit is interesting to Jeff, I'm sure I can remember some thing about them from back in the day, did they do other non SW items?

Nice pickups Tim, Soren and Jeff.
Tim, I see you gave in and got Amanaman!
Got these this week for a mate, but due to some shitty circumstances (not his fault!), there staying with me. Gonna get them cased up in the next couple of weeks. I think mailers look pretty cool that way.
ESB Bossk and 4-Lom. The catalogues are pretty cool. Like a trip down memory lane.

Thanks.
Lee.

Can ask why they should be fakes ? They come from a very trusted source .

Just looking at a few other sites and yeah they, MPC, seem to have been a big model making company in the 70's and 80's. Made a lot of American car models, chevys, etc They did a few other star wars bits , lukes snow speeder is one I think.

NOT FUNNY !


Well i had to go to a local flea marked . Picked up a nice little lot with lose figz the firste day .



I always go the last day an hour before they close as i know the have a fire sale on all that's left . I know they throw out all the stuff that's left after the close.

I picked up some other toy stuff for resale . And had a look at tabel with lots of bord games . I had looked at it the first day . But there where nothing good . And i would say that at leats 500 gown ups and kids had been going though all this stuff for two days .

But then i find this Gi Joe box with the poster taped to the front of the box . I buy it as it's cheap. Bring it home and start to take away the new tape that has sealed the open end . And out comes four mint figuere and some other stuff :shock: Very god buy . That why i love tracking down this stuff

Awesome Finds Soren!

Guys, guys, guys... :shock: Didn't have the chance to look at this thread in the last days because my son was here for the week. Then I come around and want to show you my latest pickups, but after seeing yours I feel like I can't impress you anyhow, so why even try? DTs and 15 packs... Have a break guys, please.

Great pickups everybody... Won't say anything about the DTs Bram, sorry, it just seems that there are too many of them flying around lately, so nothing special... (Just kidding! :lol

And Frank, that 15 pack is just wow, know how glad you must be to have it and sorry that I forgot to wish you a happy birthday, but like I said, I wasn't around much the last week. So happy belated birthday and sorry, pal. Will make up to it soon.

But now I'm back and I'm back to present you my latest pickups, most of them have been on hold for quite a while again.

Nothing too special here, that's a box only and it's not in the greatest shape. But it does come with original inserts and was cheap as chips. Not pictured: It even came with one Ejector Clip which is damaged on another boxed Tie Interceptor of mine which I can now fix.

Maybe you have seen this on eBay UK. In the description it said that the electronics have worked when the seller picked it up many years ago but hasn't tested them ever since. Usually this is a synonym for: "Not working". But guess what: Fully working. Gameplay is a pain in the ass though... :lol: But I like the item as such.

This was missing from the Death Star Playset which I picked up from Mark. Thanks to Liam for finding this for me.

Yeah, yeah, I know... More vintage coming up after this one, just a quick group shot of some new stuff I got. The GG figures are again sponsored by the local comic book store. :shock: The MISB Dewback was so cheap that I couldn't resist. Much cheaper than a loose one I picked up last year. And the Bounty Hunters set was also very cheap, about 1/3 the price they go for on eBay ... 8)

Another Tauntaun. :shock: Got this because of the inserts, the last one I got last time has a nicer box and instructions, but no inserts, so I will put these inserts into the Palitoy box.
Reigns broken ... :x Anybody selling 2 unbroken Tauntaun reigns, please holla @ me.

NRFB ... Yes, NEVER removed from box ... Well, OK ... Only for this shot ... oh and for the shot that the seller has done ... ah well, you know what I mean. More like MIBUW (Mint in Box - unplayed with) Box is not the best, but it's OK ...

MIBUW too. Box is nicer than the PDT-8 one.

I like this one, the box is real nice, but unfortunately the electronics do not work, so I will have to replace it later.

MIBUW as well. So nice ... This would be the nicest in this haul if it wasn't for the next bib boy ...

Yeah... guess this is the hottest one in this post ... Was sealed on both ends and I opened it to verify that everything is in there.
:twisted:
Just kidding! It's still sealed on one side, the other side was already open. The box is sooo nice and decals unapplied, wow. Of course I would prefer a POTF packaging, but oh well ...

Thanks for looking guys.
