Latest Acquisitions

Great Clipper Cardback, love to have one myself, last i saw a Clipper JAwa on the Bay, but it went for 91 euros, wich was a little to high for me....

Edit: just want to that the price tag On the cardback says F 90 wich is 90 Belgian Francs (wich is equal to 2,20 euro nowadays).
 
Some beautiful new acquisitions from all of you guys. The ones that stand out from me are the ones from mr Kenner, Chris and Andy. Outstanding, chaps!
 
That Clipper cardback is really nice - I guess actually carded examples of those are as rare as rocking horse ****!

This is my latest pick courtesy of Soren, really pleased with this plus it only took 2 days to get here from Denmark!

Nice pick ups guys .

Glad you are happy with your new moc Slider . Happy he got home to UK agian , and got a nice home at your place .

2 days shipping , that was quick . It was sent as B-post :D
 
Saw this beater at Farthest From convention and had to have him. Was bugging me for days after the convention and lucky Iain hadn't sold it.

Its a Trilogo hybrid. Little history lesson if any one wants to know. There are 6 trilogo hybrid figures out there that were only released on the trilogo with the trilogo back. The front is a single logo but these still count as trilogo figures. Maybe Joe can answer if all the hybrids came with trilogo bubbles?

The figures in the set are: Bespin Guard (white), Bespin Guards (black), Greedo, Snaggletooth, Hammerhead and the Cloud Car Pilot.

Eventhough he's a beater, I have to bring the hybrid cards to the front of my attention and this will hopefully kickstart the mission.

Happy days :)

Right I have been a right lazy bastard & not replied to this thread in forever & on looking back its since before page 1000, so I have my work cut out for me, but I am determined to comment on some of these fantastic additions you guys have had over the past couple of weeks & almost 30 pages, as some of them are serious grail pieces.

Also got to say I love the idea of if I ever did a book to have it in a baggie – class!

Iain – that droids fett is one sweet & bloody difficult to get (at a decent price) card, love it.

Jez – Nice BBG Palitoy, always nice to see the Palitoy logo

Scott/TM – nice to see you have focused your collection, some great graded loose figs

Tim – you know that's a Nein numb not a b-wing pilot on that card right lol

Ponchobelt – Sweet addition with the Tri to Meccano book, just got that one myself, just need the time to read it now.

Jedi_masters – Nice TR card, looks really mint worthy, hollow cheeks variant as well – Nice!

Grant – 3 great ROTJ carded m8, always liked the Ugnaught cardback.

Tim – more carded there I see, love the Luke X-wing, you know you still have the wrong pilot though??

Grant – Thank ERG display is, well – bloody HUGE sweet! now how you going to hide, display that eh.


2stripes – huge baggins of sweet carded & another Luke X-wing, I do love that figure/card combo.

Shawn_k – nice loose droids, never sure if I should collect more of them myself, but the proto display logo is something special m8, really like that.

Ryan – 2 more down – you'll have a full set in no time @ this rate.

Jeff – not seen those books b4 m8?

Liam – love the proto book, not got that one yet – any good? & some PD'lisious items 2, love the proof m8, was looking at those myself.

Lee77 – I want that R5 pali – looks bloody ace & am very jealous.

Rich – bloody great baggie haul m8 & got to tell you that the DSC is not an easy one to find & I paid large for mine.

Grant – more great oddball stuff buddy, no stopping you with that **** is there m8.

Soren – sweet Danish cardbacks, more cool stuff for your focus

Greg– not sure WTF those things are but cool lol – ahh quarter page add's – odd but different

Shawn – nice addition with that coin mailer & the Anakin offer talker, not seen that b4

Ryan – glad to see you got a palitoy han m8, I can rest easier now, always as sain great to see the pali logo.

Lars – you going for loose pooch figures now then – a deep hole m8, good luck with that

Pete – sweet little addition to your yak focus with that badge, good one Liam

AJ – love that raised bar DSD, not seen one of them either m8, great find, - Meccano?? – if you ever let it go please do LMK as I have a little raised bar side focus

Grant – worth getting cocky over, sweet Yak.

Starwizz – Nice burgundy Squiddy, you could so easily mistake the orange cape version for it, I did not realise they were so close in colour.

Edd – not quite sure where to start with that haul – bloody epic m8 (size froam/palis/sail barge) – simply wowzers

Lars – more great cardbacks! – more Danish ones?

Chris (chubbs) – got you started on baggies? – once you're hooked you're fooked, addictive as hell, what have I started.

The slider – great piss up buy, classic – beet there, done that, never go near ebay after more than 4 beers

Nick – some very very nice carded there, great taste in characters.

Lee77 – class act, darth on a Pali card is always a winner in my book.

Mr Kenner – what can I say, epic multi packs, simply epic! – one would have been out of this world, 2 are simply interstellar & of great interest for me having spent much time in Germany as a kid, bloody nice finds.

Liam – very nice blue top R2

Jedi_masters (Chris right?) – that Weequay looks to be in very nice condition m8.

Shawn – That Emperor micro build your armies freebie is a nice piece, never hear about that b4, mind if I add that info to my baggie info & maybe use that photo?, if you ever see anoth, please do bear me in mind m8, great find!

Lars – yet more cards for your super little focus & a Pali amongst them, did not know they had palitoy cards over there m8, more great info for the little grey cells.

Grant – not seen that alternate cover for the Videos myself, nice addition to your oddball focus.

Theslider – nice Boussh & Vader, loving the vinyl 2

Tim – those B-Wing customs are a bit freaky m8, especially the hammerhead, great oddball stuff for your focus.

Grant – as said b4 – no holding you back with the oddball stuff, nice stand & pin display, not seen or even heard of either b4 & it's always good to learn new stuff.

Grant – bloody hell just how many times can you be on this thread with cool new stuff in 30 pages? – Nice carded fig's m8, always loved the DSC card

Brian – getting that Coin is one small step for collection, but one epic milestone buddy, very very pleased for you as I can only imagine what it must mean to you, & a DT Luke for under $100 – more Epicness, bloody bargain.

Tim – sure you have lost the plot m8 – that skiff lando ain't a b-wing pilot either lol

Lostboy – never enough star cases, need some more myself soon.

Lars – nice loosies & scarred coo's are always a nice surprise, used to be heavily into variants years back myself but it's a deeper hole that baggies, lots more folk seem to be in to them these days

Iain – I think you did really well in the trade on those POTF carded m8, love the luke but will have to reserve judgment on the Ewok lol

Gorneesh – nice Meccano, I love those little cards, had that one myself & considered them as a focus, sadly I only have 2 kidneys to sell & I don't think that would cover it.

Lee77 – some very nice ROTJ carded m8, that DSC is cropping up frequently on the thread of late, all seem to be in very nice nick.

Greg – Ewww – Ewok addition lol

Ponchobelt – Nice Vader 2

Jeff – going for a loose At at commander army?

Stormtrooper37 – some very nice tri-logos & Tot, really do like the imperial gunners card.

Lee77 – competition for Grant with the amount of latest additions m8, that tri Fett is really nice 7 what a bloody great score with the grade it came back with, you must be quite smitten.

Theslider – came close to buying that Imperial dignitary myself for my lad, but felt it would be a crime to open it, nice & super cheap buy & loose stormies are always a great addition to any collection.

Lostboy – good find – a speeder bike with flaps, a rarity indeed

Nick – loving the hammerhead on ESB, looks best on that card IMO, no idea why but it does IMO, played with HH loads as a kid.

Chris (chubbs) – some nice loosies, though iggy & R2 have no clones & look a little left out – no love for the droids eh lol, your lad has some nice additions there 2 a landspeeder & PD – 2 of my fave items.

Grant – the R5 on pali ROTJ card is a real nice pick up, cracked bubble or no

Chris (Jedi-Masters) – thats one sweet lot of carded in one go, love the luke stormi the droids Tig fromm & I obviously love the PD.

Tim – yet more MOC's with no sighn of a B-wing pilot lol, I do like the alternate photo Chewie.

Scott – those baggies are a treat to see on the thread & I think you are being very understated with them IMO, as there are some right crackers in that lot, the Tusken is a right tough one to find in a Palitoy green logo baggie, but the Han is relly out there & only the 2nd one I have ever seen in a baggie with the olive tone legs, a real rarity & great buy & a 3rd super score on the Luke jedi, again super rare – nice going on your Euro baggie focus.

Jez – 8 MOC's on the trot, sweet as, really do like the greedo ROTJ card & the Toptoys stormie – did they all come with the foreign writing ?.

Lostboy – wampatastic & answers a question I had in mine – that being if both versions of the card photo were found on ROTJ cards.

Chris (Caswellbot) – just go on then, blow everyone else's acquisitions out of the water then why don't you lol, epic is just not a large enough word for your latest find for the focus, you must be thrilled, but if you're not just send it my way, sure I can find a space for it somewhere.

Mr. Kenner – yet another grail item for your arsenal of super high end quality collectables, great condition 2.


Andy – That's one on my want list as well m8, the Tie bomber has to be the coolest die case there is, but why the hell was it so rare? & sadly expensive, great find.

The slider – rare & Ewok?, no (derogatory) comment lol

Apollo – that speeder is a thing of beauty, think speeders may well be a future focus for me.

Tim – at bloody last! A B-wing pilot & oh what a great one, the hardest to obtain B-wing baggie (ROTJ-c), I am really glad you managed to get it buddy, superb addition to your focus & ain't it grand to see so many baggies cropping up on this thread.

Ryan – clipper 12 back – very fancy, not seen a 12 back clipper b4

The slider – keeping it going with another nice MOC

& finally – Grant – great find & interesting to know there are only 6 such hybrid cared figures, another snippet added to the little grey cells today.


Well I was determined to get that done as I do like to keep up with what's going down on this thread, but boy I hope I never leave it that long again as that was a 2 day mission lol.
Will also more than likely be the longest post ever on this thread & help to turn another page, will get my latest buys on here soon as I get a moment.
