Latest Acquisitions

[maniac79]

Hey guys, got some new items to show off. These turned up much quicker than I thought, they were posted in the UK last Wednesday and turned up yesterday. 8)

First of all, thanks to Frank for receiving some of these items for me and packing them up to send them over to me. Some items have been with him for AGES. Feel really sorry for the trouble the postal office caused you. Tbh I didn't know why all my items don't fit into one parcel. Now I know and I can imagine that big grin of yours in this very moment.

Thanks to Bram for the 1st two. I honestly don't remember when it was that I bought them and you sent them over to Frank. Was it already January? Or still December? Anyhow, glad to have them now.

No decals, but I like the 49p sticker on the box.

Box is a little beaten up, but again it has the 49p sticker.

My 2nd Trilogo card and boy, such a beauty... Only minimal dents in the bubble on the corners. Thanks to Frank for picking it up for me from Chris as a trade for the Meccano 2 Trilogo book, which I have still to send.

The saddle buckle (?) is split, I got it mainly for the box and instructions, the box is kind of nice. This is my 4th MIB Tauntaun now, think I'll have to slow it down now. Came with that little piece of card board, not sure if it's original though. Got it from eBay.

NRFB (DOH!). So nice. Missing the figures, will get loose ones to go with the set later or maybe even baggies, not sure yet tbh. This one came from Frank.

Same as above.

Boushh weapon from Frank.

Not vintage, but oh well... DeAgostini Boushh I got from eBay (for 99p thanks for the heads up, Frank). So the one I got earlier can stay MOC.

ESB-D Dengar baggie. I got this to go with a Cloud City Playset I will get soon from Mark. Thanks to Frank.

Baggie bargain of the year! £11 for this fine ESB-H Boushh baggy. Got it from eBay, thanks for the heads up to Frank again.

Frank and me need to talk about the next two as I was VERY surprised to find these in the parcels. Awaiting your PM, buddy. Well chuffed I can tell you!!!

Nice one, never saw one in person before and chuffed to own one now. I really like the Probot.
[EDIT: This playset might help me grow on the ESB figures which I'm not really fond of so far... (Rebel Soldier, etc)]

Nearly forgot to take the pic of the vintage action figure display stand as it is already on display. :lol: And how could it not be? After putting my first 12 on it I can only say that this is the appropriate way to display them. This just looks so right. [Btw, C-3PO and R2-D2 are soon to be upgraded. ] Looks even better in person, I was not able to capture the awesomeness.

Freebie. :shock: This is so nice, even my girlfriend went :shock: after I told her I got it for free. Thanks so much. My girlfriend said that she wants to see it hanging on the wall, once we have our own little house.

Group shot of other freebies. I can only recommend buying from Frank. :lol: :lol: :lol: My son will enjoy the Clone Wars boxes and my finest loosies will enjoy the vintage stands. Thanks so much.

Before I go:
I got some other weird stuff from my Dad recently, but I have put these up on a valuation request thread just now as I'm not sure about keeping them. (Sonrics? figures) Would be nice if you guys could have a look.

Thanks for looking and sorry if my post was a scroll wheel killer again. :mrgreen:

 

[jackabina]

bloody quality. :shock: . i would some of those pieces mate
is that a vintage christmas pudding leia is standing on :lol:

 

[maniac79]

lol, you got that (partially) right. It's Boba standing on a xmas pudding. :lol: But it's not vintage (for god's sake). :mrgreen:

When I saw the Special buy stickers I thought it was Lee posting, when I saw the Lando Skiff Trilogo I was CONVINCED it was Lee posting and had got back to his old figure focus and low and behold it was Dennis! Ha!

Nice haul man!

Deathtrap Dungeon!!! Nice Maniac

Me and my son have just finished 'Forest of Doom' and 'Island of the Lizard King'. Those books are harder than I remember them being and 'Deathtrap Dungeon' is mentioned in 'Island of the Lizard king'.

Are you going to read/play it?

Some other great buys lads, its hard keeping up with this thread :shock:

 

[Capetown]

Fantastic haul Dennis!!

 

[jedi_masters]

What a haul Dennis, fantastic. Absolutely love the display stand and the first 12 with it. Looks the mutts. Makes me want to have one. How much do the stands fetch????

 

[maniac79]

Thanks guys.

jedi_masters: I think the biggest problem is finding one. Check on eBay, yesterday I found only 2 worldwide and one comes unused MIB which is then of course rather expensive. So I can't say how much you have to pay for one, after all I can't even say how much I paid, because even though I already have it, I still have to negotiate the price with Frank.

But this way of displaying is so nice that I was already thinking about building a custom display stand similar to this one with a background customized to the last 17 and another one for my Ledy figures. But as of yet I don't have time for that.

 

[jedi_masters]

That would look awesome I think Dennis. You could do so many different variations for different groups of figures, i.e. Hoth figures with Hoth background, Imperials with a Death Star background. I like the idea.

I think i'll just have to keep my eyes peeled and take a chance if one comes up.

 

[e30318is]

Awesome haul Dennis! Cracking find with the baggie Boushh mate.
So many lovely pieces there, great work 8)

 

[Frunkstar]

I now know who my competition was. Congrats and glad to hear it turned out legit. I didn't bid as high, where the seller wasn't sure on the tape seal. If you happen to see another, please send him my way.

I think we both had the same idea then Shawn, I only got it by the skin of my teeth truth be know, as I was very sceptical TBH, so if I see another you will be first to know m8.

Dennis - what can I say m8, quality items almost pained to send them, must say I really do love the little die cast boushh the detail is outstanding 8) & great to see the first 12 on the stand.

 

[Joe]

Congrats on the Luke Frank!

 

[Lee77]

Well done Dennis on a great haul. I'm really liking the original 12 on the display stand. And Frank, glad the Luke turned out to be ok! Well done.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

[itfciain]

Been getting very jealous of all the posts on here and haven't put anything up for a while

These have just come in though - many thanks to Todd for his help with these. The Bossk is packed with a Stormtrooper Rifle. There is a crack in the bottom of the bubble but reckon its was packed this way

Next up are two of my ROTJ needs - got to love the little green fellow

Have a few more on the way so will hopefully get some pictures up when they land

 

[Bramistuta25]

I would love to complement Iains latest pick ups but I am very jealous of his Yoda, so I am not going to be too nice at all!

Well done Iain (said sarcastically with a face).
