Latest Acquisitions

Two things both courtesy of Drs: Pittenstein and Kenobi:

Love the Palitoy cardbacks even more so with the die-cast stuff - what kid in the 70s didn't have die cast stuff? Anyway well please with this!

Got this off Dr Kenobi on eBay - it was originally on a BIN or best offer put in £27 and got a counter offer of £25 which I completely forgot about. It then went up for auction and swooped in before the end to get it for under £20. Two reasons - to save from being U-graded (he mentioned this in the auction text) and to one day make my Lobot Palitoy 30 back whole. (interesting disparities between the two - just sold a Lobot Kenner cardback and it is a good 2mm wider than the Palitoy one. Over 1000s of card backs that would save Palitoy some money!)

And here he is poorly lined up with my card - this was a a nameplate cut card and I've tried to fix it the best I can!

[Spookedhippie]

Blindly Twistedmetal that's a great find at the price, where on earth did you find that so cheap?!

 

[TwistedMetal]

On eBay mate, I was watching a number of items a guy had for sale at 49.99 starting price for some reason this one didn't sell and he relisted it at £29.99 starting price so I pmed him and offered £40.00 he accepted and tbh he was a great guy too deal with I only wish I had more funds some of his other afa graded ones went cheap too, I guess it's just luck somedays mate I often make offers too people if items don't sell.

Haven't had anything to add to the Latest Acquisition thread for a while, having just missed out on a nice Palitoy ESB Walrusman from Gary @ the 1st All the Cool Stuff event, but this guy arrived in the post today.

Some bubble damage, still fully factory sealed, so you can forgive a lot for that little red & blue logo!!

Hi søren, you lucky guy a cardback with a danish price sticker and a italian sticker on the backside. That is some great cardbacks, sold in Bilka. Looks like Dansk Supermarked A/S bought a lot of cool cardbacks to be sold in the shops they own in Denmark.

 

[spoons]

Nice buys chaps - I wondered if someone on here got that x-wing slider, you beat me to that one

 

[theslider]

Sorry Spoons! There is another on eBay at the moment, but it's at a silly price (£255!)

TwistedMetal, that is a complete bargain for the IG88, well done! Looks great and a lot better than the 70 grade.

Well guys its been just over 3 weeks since i commented on here, all in all 20 pages to go through!
There's been reseals, real steals, great hauls and no Darth Mauls. There was a one post wonder tool, we witnessed Grant buckling and sending something off for grading. I was wowed with Iain's latest hauls, and Grants and Chris', and Jedi534s.
I loved Lee Gray's 90 Graded Fett, Lee 77s Palitoy Leia, Snaggletooth's Greedo Hybrid!
I loved Frank's PDs, Pin head and Baggie
Jeffs has done well recently!
Pomse2001 has loads of loosies. Crealkilla's Fett collecting is off the hook
The Slider, Timbo, Scott and Scottie Boy have all added wonderfully to their collections to. I mean £40 for a graded ESB IG88, wtf? Bravo Twisted, bravo

 

[Dublinjeff]

Cheers Jez, Happy with the last few bits,

Great DSD Chris, Iain always has some minty loosies.... 8)
