Latest Acquisitions

[Lee Gregory]

Gorneesh that Lando Skiff looks proper mint, nice pick up fella.

 

[Lee77]

Couple more mocs arrived to go with the Palitoy ROTJ run. Overpaid on one and underpaid on the other so I think they evened themselves out. Ackbar's a bit yellow but the last few I've seen are all the same. The Stormie has also been packed with 2 blasters which I never noticed till it arrived. The catalogues one of the ones that was given out in toy shops back in the day with the original 20 figures and vehicles.

 

[Grant_C]

Lee- was it you who outbid me on that catalog on eBay uk last week? £20?

 

[Lee77]

Sorry Grant. The last couple of those that have been on have ended at weird times or I forgot to bid, so I got the mrs to bid for me!
I'll keep my eye out for another.

 

[Grant_C]

Well congrats on the MOC's but your new catalog sucks :wink:

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Very Nice MOC Lee

 

[Frunkstar]

phreatobite - nice alternative carded there.

Gorneesh - That clipper seems to be in very very nice condition, never seen a clipper in hand, great buy.

Ryan - you dog!, - want it want it want it

Jeff - those portfolios are the nuts m8, like pokemon - gota get them all! :mrgreen:

Lars - Yes I wanted to do a small & supposedly easy to put together great looking run of MOC's that fit my interest, & 77 back droids seemed to be the obvious choice for me, + the fact I have not seen anyone else do one & it ties in with another MOC droids run I am working on in the long run.

Lee - that catalogue rocks, want one myself, MOC's aint bad either

My latest find which I have to say I am rather chuffed with, as I was very sceptical at first as I have never seen this figure in this baggie & from what I know its not known in this baggie type (ESB-c) but on arrival its legit, so I am really stoked

 

[timbo72]

Nice Ackbar Lee

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Top Drawer baggie again Frank! 8)

 

[Lee77]

Well congrats on the MOC's but your new catalog sucks :wink:

:lol:

And Frank, congrats on the Baggie. Can't believe there's still combinations that are new to you. You live and learn 8)

 

[Gorneesh]

Lee77 - nice MOC and I love that Catalog

Frunkstar - that looks a nice tidy looking baggie

 

[JuniorChubb]

Great Stormie and Ackbar Lee

That 3PO looks top notch Frank

 

[flycasual]

I might have to get one of those portfolios and a Palitoy catalogue, they definitely look "the nuts".

 

[Frunkstar]

Nice one guys & @ Lee - thats why I bloody love baggies!, always new ones crawling out of the woodwork & so much is not yet know about Euro baggies & I have even found a few things new out about Kenner issued ones like the 3p0 above that is not know in the SWCA baggie guide, I find it all quite exciting TBH, I have another one on the way that I have never seen in the baggie type its coming in, very beat up but cheap, so I am happy

I have no bloody idea just how many baggie/figure variations/combinations are out there, but its sure fun finding out, already well over the 300 mark, with maybe just as many still to go :shock:

 

[poncho]

awesome additions everyone impressive baggie haul frank! ryan nice r5d4! nice lando clipper also! lee cool mocs

 

[Caswellbot]

Congrats once again to you Lee. They look up to your usual standard buddy. Top drawer.


Hats off to you Frank. You really do have a knack for finding the rarities when it comes to baggies. Another triumph!

I dont know why but I have visions of everything being sealed in baggies at your house. Sitting down to dinner and taking the cutlery out of a tape sealed Hong Kong baggie or something! :wink:

 

[Grant_C]

Not much to show here but after 28 months of hunting and collecting the last 3 issues of UK Marvel Star Wars comics have arrived and the 1977-1986 set is complete.

I am still missing the last 6 Ewok issues but that is not a priority.

The issues started with:

001-117- Star Wars Weekly
118-139- Empire Strikes Back Weekly
140-158- Empire Strikes Back Monthly
159-171- Star Wars Monthly
001-155- Return of the Jedi

There are also 7 Specials and 9 Annuals.

None of these are rare and you can get any if your willing to pay the price. I made a rule that I would spend no more than £1 for an issue. This rule wavered towards the end as i was desperate to finish the set.

The harder ones to find from my experience are the latter ESB Monthly, SW Monthly and the last few ROTJ. I guess that because the line is winding down and there is greater release from the movies.

These have been great fun to track down and a great cheap side project. I won't bore you with 342 photographs but heres the end of the journey

Roll on tonights draw.

Good Luck everyone

 

[itfciain]

Nice one Grant - I'd love to read all of those again - I have a few lying about, together with other comincs like match, shoot, beano and dandy - takes you right back

[BlueDog]

Nice pick ups everyone. Where do you find half of this stuff Grant? I never used to have any interest in the obscure vintage SW stuff but after seeing the items you unearth I'm starting to get interested in it. Very cool.

 

[Pomse2001]

Hi Tim, great moc, I have always thought the biker scout was a cool figure

Hi Maulster79, cool record and displays looks also very cool :wink:

 

[Grant_C]

Cheers guys.

I get a lot of my stuff from the US, Toy Chamber especially. Alot of stuff I get though is by networking. MOC's are the best, but I can't eat corn flakes every morning

 

[_Lee_]

Grant,that kenner Toy hanger/display is amazing mate-Todd is a great guy to deal with.

 

[Gorneesh]

Great purchases people.im pretty sure that Clipper Lando Skiff is the one i owned when i focused on that figure years back-great piece Gorneesh.Congrats.

I picked it up from roundster on here so I have no idea where he got it from, so it may well be the one you used to own.
