Latest Acquisitions

[Frunkstar]

Lee - that's Simply Vlixtastic m8, great condition & such a rare item so congrats - & the Scissors bit is so me :lol:

Jeff - superbly cheap buy m8, the raised bar stormie is not that easy to come by & what a steel.

Dennis - I am so pleased to see you finally got your hands on a copy of the Kellerman book as I know a little of your struggles to get one, you will love it, its the best SW collecting book I have ever seen, I was pretty blown away when I got a copy as you know.

Had a couple of items myself -

I have been hunting for a Kenner Rancor keeper for some time, oddly enough its proving to be quite a difficult one to find , then I manage to get this one in the search & at a snip, you just never bloody know what's going to turn up & when, I did not even know the rancor keeper was found in this baggie TBH so I am pretty chuffed, its the Macau baggie & for our resident COO nut (you know who you are) its the no coo one.

I was not sure if I should go for this one or not as I had a feeling it may be a fake, but after some close ups from the seller & some searching I decided its legit as I had another come in the same baggie type from another guy in oz a while back, so I think we have a new baggie type that is a kenner issued one that is not on the SWCA guide, so some great info, Joe said he thinks its classed under ESB-h, but we both agree it should have its own classification as ESB-h baggies have only one heat seal & this one has 2 -, the 2 I have match perfectly seal wise top & bottom, so for anyone why gives a toss, photos -

& huge thanks to Dennis for this & some great food items that turned up today -

Well done Jeff and Dennis. Great pick ups.
Frank, another week, another great Baggie score! What you don't know about baggies surely isn't worth knowing :lol: Did you find out about the other Baggie type you suspected was a new kind? Think it was the Fett one?

 

[snaggletooth]

Great Baggies again Frank and thank for the list Joe 8)

 

[Djbighair]

Nice new acquisitions fellas. Will have a few more myself in next few days. Frank you snaffled me on that ree yees I was after it too. Happily got a biker scout Baggie inits place.... When I pay for it... Better go do that now.

 

[lee gray]

nice baggies frank

 

[Lee77]

I've been an absolute beast of late, and probably spent a little bit more than the wife thinks! These 3 all arrived today and will be the last bits I buy for a few weeks at least. All Palitoy ROTJ and for any one that's interested , the Dengar graded 80, Lando 90 and the Han 85y, which is odd as the bubble doesn't look yellow to me! Thanks for looking guys.

 

[Jez]

Nice baggies Frank and great MOCs Lee, particularly love the Han

I'm going to keep on top of this thread, last time i left it for 2 weeks and i had 14 pages to enjoy!

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Nice MOCs Lee! 8)

 

[Joe]

Superb Palitoy ROTJ's there Lee, your wife isn't the only one that wouldn't want to know what you have been spending lately :lol:

 

[TwistedMetal]

How the hell do you do it Lee? my wife would have packed my bags by now but great additions guys

 

[Lee77]

I wear the trousers here Scott! ( Or I do when the wife doesn't have them on!!!) Seriously, I dont drink much and I've quit smoking so she's cool at the mo! Plus, I dont tell her everything!!!

Superb Palitoy ROTJ's there Lee, your wife isn't the only one that wouldn't want to know what you have been spending lately :lol:

:lol: Hey Joe, I had a look on yout tri logo site buddy, it's looking good mate.
Thanks for the comments guys

 

[Caswellbot]

Lovely carded figs again Lee and some super new baggies Frank.

I also noticed that Glasslite Vlix Lee. Nice one buddy, great piece to own. Congrats.

Keep it up everyone! 8)

 

[lee gray]

cool dengar Lee.

Someone at work said to me today why do i collect toys if i dont play with them, i said to look at, its no different from buying a painting or an ornament and ppl dont play with those..........some ppl r *******

 

[maniac79]

Sweet a Valiant Thermostat, never thought of keeping my books on mine though.
I'll give it a go tonight, how many can you get on there does it perform well?

Let me know as I'm super keen to try this out

:lol: Haven't read your post before, just now. Well spotted. But to answer your question: It does perform extremely well, never had a book storage that is so lean and simple, you just put books on there and they sit in there real tight. Suitable for one Kellerman or 3 From Meccano to Trilogo books.

Well done, Dennis & Frank. I'd noticed how you always seem to do things in pairs lol.

Busted. :mrgreen:

Dennis - I am so pleased to see you finally got your hands on a copy of the Kellerman book as I know a little of your struggles to get one, you will love it, its the best SW collecting book I have ever seen, I was pretty blown away when I got a copy as you know.

Thanks and agreed, it's definitely a must have. (Side note: This was the 1st time that I spelled definitely right before checking it up ONCE AGAIN on google! :lol

& huge thanks to Dennis for this & some great food items that turned up today

:shock: I'm shocked ... How did this get over to you that fast? You know that I packed it last Friday (evidence picture sent on Friday ), but I was so booked up that I didn't make it to the post office before Tuesday 11:00 AM. And it was already with you yesterday??? :shock: Hope that the chocolate didn't melt during transit if it went by lightspeed and that you like all the delicious things you can now prepare for you and your family, even though they are not vintage and not bagged. :lol:
And I hope you like the Meccano book too, I think it's a nice addition to the Kellerman.
Btw, my Kellerman is signed too, but to "John, KC + Emily". :lol:

Every time I read posts like this I'm amused to see, that it's the same for most of us ... :lol:

Btw, great pickups everyone.

 

[Joe]

Got one of my favourite Trilogos in today thanks to a top bloke that frequents this forum!

Very happy with him, took me the better part of 2 years to find one!

 

[Grant_C]

Top class pick ups. Great baggies, superb MOC's.

Favourite has to be the trilogo Luke.

 

[Lee77]

Great score Joe. With my limited tri logo knowledge, I understand that that's a toughie. Well done

 

[itfciain]

Great pickups as always lads

Love that Vlix

and Joe - that is a nice Tri Luke there - I will be looking ofr one of these at some point so keep your spidey senses on

 

[PGowdy]

Loving that Joe. One of my favourite trilogos too. Not to mention one of the most expensive!
Nice one. 8)

 

[Josh]

cool dengar Lee.

:lol:

Nice buys everyone.

 

[shawn_k]

Congrats Joe! I'm so glad you were able to pick that one up.

 

[BlueDog]

Brilliant stuff as always.

Here's a couple of recent opened Pali cards courtesy of Rob, great bloke ended up selling me all three for £82 posted to OZ with tracking.

I've already sealed the bubbles back and flattened out the cards and removed the black paint from Vader which chipped off quite easily. They came up a treat and they look awesome next to their Kenner counterparts.

 

[Grant_C]

Woe dude- they look great- what a freakin bargin!

 

[itfciain]

They look quality Ryan - glad you got them

You're fast creating your own little niche there with cut bubbles

 

[BlueDog]

Cheers Fellas, it's not all that easy being a tight arse collector :lol:

Finding opened cards in good enough condition to warrant repairing is actually quite hard.

Forgot to show this little beauty as well, not Star Wars as such but freakin cool all the same. It's an original Australian daybill cinema poster of one of the best spoofs of all time, the Mighty SPACEBALLS!!.

 

[maniac79]

Love the scene when they play with the vcr... :lol:

 

[Princess Leia Organa]
