Edd I freaking LOVE the box full of Snes'. Where did you find a thing like that??? Bet its hard not to break them out and play on them!! :lol:

Great haul grant, love the cardback pic on the custom PD, woould have been good if that was the shop picture.

Chris, another fantastic piece, looking forward to the show off pic with all your new stuff added in.
 
Frank that post rocks and all your pick ups . Some very nice stuff there mate .

Chris great display , i would love one of them to :D
 
Man, some really great buys lately. I'll just start with the last page since Frank did a great job summing up several pages worth. :)


Frank, those power droid customs are great that Todd did. I really love the torture one. Also, some more great finds on the baggies. You're doing a superb job on them. No problem with using the photo/info on the Build Your Armies gift. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you on another.

Chris, I love the Toy Galaxy display. That particular one has always been a favorite of mine because of the artwork. It will compliment your 3 packs nicely.

Edd, :shock: a case so SNESs! That's an amazing find.
 
Frank: loving those Power Droid customs - I take it that's your focus aside from baggies?

Edd: those must have cost a bloody fortune!
 
Hi Frank, That is some awesome items you have received and great to see you back on this thread. Nice Catalogue and you are right, they are always missing when you buy something where they should have been with the set or box. I have never seen the custom power droid card, but it looks very cool :D Is that japanese power droid case really custom ? it looks so real. Not that I know anything about japanese star wars. Also some cool baggies you have, I think the emperor is awesome with the 2 canes. Congratulations with all those amazing things :wink:

Hi Caswellbot, cool display. How big is it ?

Hi Apollo, 26 figures. Do you know what figures the 26 are and can they only be found on SW and ESB cards ? or did also make ROTJ card ?

Hi edd, 6 brand new SNES consoles, that is so cool. Congratulations with all of them. Are they with uk cable and was they expensive ?
 
Got these through the post today :D thanks to Retropaw for Han and Djbighair for Lumat :D

Got this on evil bay for about £15 with postage, the seller said the bubble was cracked at the top, but when he came the top was completely smashed in and his head was sticking out of the top! I think he'll be flipped!

I also got this off Spoons..

It really is near mint and a very good bargain at £20 and it will live here...

A pretty knackered Palitoy card I got off eBay - the bubble is open on three sides and is ropey, but it looks not too bad!
 
Guys to much to keep track of without doing a Frunkster on it all :lol: :lol: :lol:

Love the graded figures though Scott.

A new arrival for me today. It's not Star Wars, but it's definitely vintage and I'm so pleased with it that I had to share :D



An original shipping case of 6 brand new SNES consoles!

Will any of these be on sale at any point Edd?
 
Hi lostboy87, great moc and cool free coin sticker :wink: are you sure you can wait until after Christmas to buy more star wars ?

theslider, great items. Sorry to read top was completely smashed in and his head was sticking out of the top, did you contact the seller about it ?

Hi TwistedMetal, that is some awesome graded figures. Is there some rare variants ?
 
Superb pick ups guys!

Have finally got something to add :D



Wanted one of these for a long time, bubble has a crack, but got a good deal 8)
 
Nice R5/Biker miscard! That looks great.

Today, I've finally paired a loose Ledy LJ to go with my cardback that some other members got me several years ago. This is the next best thing with the prices that MOCs ones are going for these days. Where the bubble is still on the card, I'm hoping to get some kind of case made to hold it all in place.

Excellent new additions everyone, and glad you're happy with the TIE slider - it looks great back on the card

Yes I'm keeping one and selling the other 5, if anyone is interested drop me a PM. You'll be pleased to know they cost significantly less than many MOCs :lol:
 
Hey guys! It's been a long time and I'll try to keep up again with this thread from now on, but I just didn't have the time to check here regularly. I will try to change that as I have surely missed it. For those who want to see me going Brokeback Mountain on you: I have missed all of you guys! :P I have now worked my way from page 965 of this thread until the latest. 965 was the page that was new at the time I started my little break. I looked at every picture and also read a fair amount of comments. While I think that honestly every addition to your collections is awesome, I would like to comment on some I liked the most.

Todd: As I am very much into transparencies, of course I dig the transparency you have won from Ed's give away. Epic! Should it every be for sale (which I doubt) then please let me know.

Shawn, great Force Lightsaber Revenge Proof! And I like your loose Droid figures. So far I only own Jann Tosh, sadly he is missing his weapon. I must admit I like the series. And also that concept logo is great, I would like to own something like that.

Gorneesh, your Tsukuda Madine is awesome. Also like your Clipper Lando Skiff Guard MOC.

Frank, love the baggies, especially the Bespin Luke. Also all of your PD additions. :)

ewok13, I like that Gentle Giant 12" Blue Snag, when did it come out? I started collecting them in January and have all the new ones, but don't have the Blue Snag.

tundra, say what??? MOC LL Stormtrooper? Holy cow!!! :-O Is it sealed???

Tim, I like the vintage custom B-Wing Pilots! Classic! The Hammerhead would look even better if the arms and legs were from a B-Wing Pilot too, but I guess he was out of B-Wing Pilots. I wonder if these customs are the reason that B-Wing Pilots will become one of the rarer figs in the future. ;) And nice Boushh MOC of course. :D

Liam, great Popy Death Star Droid, what a great pick up! Also will be looking for Display Arena some time next year. :)

Iain, I love your Droids Boba, C-3PO and A-Wing Pilot!!! The MOC DSD is awesome too!

Grant, nice MOC Yak!!! It is on!!!

theslider, as I'm into Boushh I really dig yours! Nice one!

Mr Kenner, big ups for finding the German multi packs! I am from Germany and I can tell you that I never saw these shelved, don't know if they were only on sale in stores I never went to or why I never saw them... One of these days I want to get at least one of these too.

Chris, congrats on the Canadian 3 Pack! What a great piece to have in your collection! The Toy Galaxy Shop Bell display is also a great piece, if you don't mind I'd like to know for how much these go, but seeing it took you ages to find one I don't think I'll ever get my hands on one of these.

Stuff I read but didn't understand (as I have been away for too long obviously), can anybody please fill me in?
Who is Theresa? And what about her? :D

What about Karen, is she still allowed to be on RS?

Edd, can you please PM me the price for one of the SNES? I may be interested.

About me and my latest/next additions:
I had made some additions I wanted to show before I took the break, but I think these were only minor additions, nothing too special, only a couple of SW vehicle instructions and loose beaters/loose weapons. My dad picked up vintage figures at a car boot sale again (Farmboy Luke + Darth), I don't think I will take pics of this stuff. I haven't screened the RS FS threads since mid July, but have screened the FS on here every now and then and often saw stuff that I wanted to get, but as I have some bills to pay (non SW related :)) I didn't get them.
BUT: There is something coming from one of the SWF FS threads to me soon (no spoilers :)) and I have bought something real nice yesterday off eBay which was also FS on RS for quite a while. It didn't sell for a very long time and the price on eBay dropped every week and yesterday I decided to take a chance and according to the seller that was just in time as someone else was showing interest too. No spoilers on that one as well, but I'm more than excited to get it.

And even more off topic (sorry guys): If you feel that you are waiting for an answer to a PM from me, please give me a nudge.
 
Haha, yeah, if you fancy sharing my son's bed (which is fairly small, he is 9 years old) with a couple of guys, you can all come over. :D Maybe you can bring a couple of SW underoos for everyone to wear, it'll be hella fun. :lol:
But yeah, I have been wondering how many of you guys will come over, it is in fact only a 40-60 minute drive away from my home and I will be there for sure and I hope to meet a lot of SWFUKers there.
Celebration Europe fun fact #99: If you choose to fly to Dortmund airport, that is the airport in the town I live in. But I guess most if not all of you will choose Düsseldorf.
Good thing is that there's plenty of time to get an adequate uniform for this event. I'm thinking Stormtrooper or Boba Fett... :twisted: But being a perfectionist I would only want one that the 501st would approve and when I was once googling to find a ready to buy uniform that is already good enough for the 501st it seems there is none available... :shock:

But before Celebration Europe it is my turn to come over to the UK end of January where I will participate in a mad man's race: Tough Guy UK. I wonder who talked me into that... oh wait, it was my mum. :shock:
