Latest Acquisitions

Some very nice pieces this week, but I really love Charliecharli's buys, are you going for an example of all foreign fugures?
 
Following on from the Pencil tops here's my first Palitoy logo card I have bought in just over 2 years!!

Not in the greates of conditions, but as far as I know, it's the first sealed example of this to surface. Huge thanks to LeeG once again who helped me score this piece! Cheers mate. 8)

The HST is a particular favourite figure of mine. Reminds me of my 9th Birthday when I got all hoth stuff as presents. It also completes a set I was looking to do. Will post pics of that when I can.

Super stuff, looks great despite a few creases here and there! Looking forward to a new mini limelight!
 
Loads of great buys everyone!

Here's a new small purchase. This is a 3rd variation that I've found of these promo cards. This one is more generic where the previous two were for Odeon Cinemas and Debenhams.

Nice pick up Shawn, do you think there might be more variants out there? There were certainly more big chain stores in the UK at that time for these cards to be linked to.

Gary, Amazing Imperial Trooper. I love that figure
Dublin Jeff, AT AT Commander tastic!

These are my latest acquisitions, well i got them out of my loft last night anyway. A friend gave them me from his collection about two years ago, they will be joining my childhood collection and will be on display as soon as i can get cabinets sorted.

They are in so much better condition than all my childhood toys, when i was a kid i didn't ever have the b wing or any tie fighters so Im well chuffed with these.

Glad I could be of assistance Gaz, always amazes me that considering these cards were made in England,how they surface from all corners of the globe.
That 45a PD was from a guy in Thailand and this from Australia,strange!!!
LOok forward to a bit of a limelight update when you get the chance..

And whilst on Palitoy,nice 45a ATAT Commander Jeff.

Now i have a Harbert and Popy, I do like the idea of getting a sample of each; LL, Clipper, Top Toys, Tol Toys, GM, PBP, Takara, Peru Basa!!

I always planned on getting just the 3; a Harbert, Popy and a Meccano (Jawa). But looking long term, after having completed my loose collection and my non focus focus Kenner collection. I reckon i may play the long game and turn my collection in to a bit of a museum. Clipper and GM seem easy finds, the others may see me stretching out this collecting lark for many years to come!

Great pick ups guys; Jeff, i love your Palitoy AT AT Commander. Sith_Smith, again, i am very envious of your Palitoy HST.
Shawn, interesting find. Paul, what can i say? You have a great friend if you were given that little lot; Tie Fighter tastic!
 
Nice Hoth Stormie Gary. I'm amazed that it's taken this long for a sealed one to show up. I'm looking forward to the limelight.
Jeff, sweet Palitoy At At Commander and I checked your focus out earlier. It's coming along nicely.
And PaulCalf, nice haul of ships.
Got a couple of new additions to post up tonight, as soon as the kids go to bed.
 
Hi sith-smith, I think that hoth trooper moc is very cool, congratulation mate :wink:

Hi Shawn, awesome promo cards :D

Hi again Jeff, amazing AT-AT moc and the focus is very cool :D

Hi Paul, great gift from your friend. I hope we also get the chance to see the display when it is ready :?:

Hi again Dark Sith Lord, pegs ?. So the 2 plastic parts with the blue and purple sticker on are for the arena ? Why I ask is that I also have such a arena, but I do not have this 2 parts. What is it you have in the background and laying all the parts on a star wars blanket ?
 
Sorry Shawn, missed your promo flyers. Nice items and it'd be interesting to see if any of the other large stores gave these out back in the day.
Here's my latest mocs for my Palitoy ROTJ run. First is Han Bespin. I've already got this but it's on a Kenner and the bubble is more brown than yellow. Secondly is the brown hair version of Luke. I was tempted to get a graded one of these from a certain overseas seller whose practices I don't really agree with (no names), but I'm glad I stuck to my guns cos I finally tracked one down and it cost a lot less than what the other seller wanted. I guess it just goes to show that you don't need to buy the first one you see as another one is always around the corner. Thanks for looking.

Hi Poker 2001

You will certainly get to see the display, when I get the cabinets. They are all in my living room at the mo, im trying to line them all up and work out they will display best. I'm thinking all of the figures in one cabinet, displayed like on the back of the cardbacks. Then all the toys in rough film order. It's a nightmare and im trying to decide before getting cabinets. I've been looking at other peoples displays and trying to work out what is best.

Yes my friend is extremely generous, I didn't really register at the time, but now I've seen the condition of my toys I realised how good they are. His wife wanted him to get rid of all his stuff, I think he kept her sweet by giving me some big stuff and ebaying a couple of carded things.

Some nice cards.

Lee, what's the aim with the Palitoy ROTJ run?

Hi Gary. The aim is to get all of the figures on a palitoy rotj card. At the minute I've got about 35 with 4 more in the pipeline. I'm not dead fussed if they're 45/65 a,b,c or whatever, I can always add the other cardbacks later. Got a couple of variants too. I know Nien numb isn't available but I think the rest are. Of the ones I need, 6 or 7 keep popping up on eBay. After i do those itll be 12/20's cos ESB palitoy confuses the hell out of me!
Are you still working on your rotj run? :D
 
I've eased back on getting 65 backs. So few seem to be confimed. I think the only confirmed ones I don't have a Luke, Yoda and Walrusman.

45c's are a set about which far more seems to be known.
 
Lovely looking ROTJ Palitoy MOCS there Lee! Now your Trilogo Luke might be expendable?? :D
