Latest Acquisitions

Some superb carded figures there Jez. They look great in the acrylic cases too. Was great to meet you on sunday by the way. The new setup at your house looks amazing.

Im sorry to break the MOC love here guys but I had to share this one with you. As many of you know from my sales threads I have recently been trying to secure a grail piece for my 3 pack run. I must thank Liam for sending me a link to a rather random post elsewhere on the net which really paid off as a lead for me, so thanks buddy. Well, after a very tense wait and a bit of a post office scare it has finally arrived. It is a Canadian Imperial Forces 3 Pack.

For those that dont know, Canadian 3 Pack sets are notably much more scarce than their US counterparts. In this case, as far as I can tell, only 2 examples of this set have surfaced so far and this is the nicer of the 2. The reason being, is that these sets were only available in small quantities to certain department stores who signed up to the department store programme. This particular set originates from Simpsons and it still has the price sticker on the side of the pack. I will post a piece on my limelight thread at some point about the difference between the US and Kenner sets.

In the meantime here is a link to the SWCA where this set is pictured at the bottom of the page.

I am literally over the moon with this. Sorry about the crap pic guys its the only picture I had time to take earlier as I had to go out tonight. Better pics to follow which should show some of the cool features of this set.

All the best, Chris. :D

Mate, I am thrilled for you. It's absolutely stunning!
Looking forward to seeing it as your center piece.
It was great to see you too dude, and your contribution to the collectors display.

Once again, I'm stoked for you Chris.
I knew that you were so excited about this one, now I know why! A true grail piece!
 
nice toltoys nein numb snaggletooth

thats a cool 3 pack Chris, glad it arrived, looks great and sweet looking clear bubble, congrats.
Also looking at your avatar which you had a while, I now notice that its the same logo as the piece you brought in.
 
Chris, Wow!! I was stoked with my Luke Stormie but that is in another league altogether. Absolutely over the moon for you buddy that this arrived safe and sound. Looks very mint, and only 2 in the world. Amazing!!! Congrats Chris.
 
So many great new pick ups. Love the Top Toys Trooper. Well done all. 8)

As for Chris. Well done mate, chuffed for you. This truly is a grail piece and in such amazing condition. Thanks also to Liam as what turned out as a good lead for Chris turned out as a good lead for me too :D

Looking forward to the 3-Pack limelight update.
 
Some more great buys.
Lostboy,nice Pali Chewy.
Slider, great Lando. I was tempted myself as that one has a different bubble to the one I have.
Jez, pleasure to meet you and a cracking haul buddy. Loving the TT Stormie, in fact I'm loving all of them.
Chris, absolutely epic :shock: I could tell how stoked you were on Sunday about getting this one. It's an absolute beauty buddy and when you factor in the rarity with it being Canadian you must be made up. I've always liked the 3 packs but the sheer cost and elusiveness of them put me off. Congratulations mate, now you need to update your limelight :wink:
 
:shock: Wow Chris! That Canadian 3 pack is awesome and what a great find with only 2 known examples.

Liam comes through again. I think I need to send my whole want list to him. :)
 
This was delivered from AFA yesterday. An Early Bird Bin Header. I've never seen one for sale before and was chuffed when I stumbled across this one. Its going straight into the Top 10 (high up) and helps me get closer to completing my Early Bird Focus. I would not trade this for anything (well maybe Chris new 3-Pack :wink: )

Quite incredible stuff guys! An Early Bird focus, that is one my bank manager would not approve of! :lol:
 
Mr Kenner get the gold medal from me.

Congrats buddy- That is about as epic as it comes for me.

What a stunning piece of history.

:mrgreen:
