8) Love that Y-Wing defo have to get one some day, Rich that's a sweet group of figures mate. That display set looks so bloody mint I can almost smell it from here. Very nice pick ups all round.

These are the last for this year, I think.

Firstly mant thanks to Iain, even a new born can't slow him down. Already had one of these loose but this one is really in great condition and I love the box as I had one of these as a kid.

Secondly thanks to walkie I'm another one closer to completing my first 21 opened set and this one is one of the mintiest yet. Luckily I already had an original footer as he was missing his so he is now complete.

Surprise find today, $30. 8)

Wow! Great find... Nice work... Please tell me it wasn't on evilbay... Been looking for one for ages!

No, not eBay, found it at a local collectibles shop.

More great buys guys, doesnt look like slowing down for Christmas.

Well, after turning down a beautiful ESB MOC AT AT Commander from Iain for £35 as I have spent way too much already this year, I bought a cheapy DSD of him instead. This has re ignited by like for loosie's so have decided to put together a complete loose run. I recieved a PM from Bram after showing the DSD and stating this and before I knew it these turned up on my doorstep.






18 minty loosie's. Great start to my collection so thanks Bram. Just need somewhere to display these now.

 

[Dublinjeff]

Great stuff lads, Nice loosies Chris....
Lovely display Jedi..... 8)

 

[theslider]

More great pick ups folks. That display unit looks mint.

Last lot from me for the year.

Han Bespin, Palitoy 30 back, name plate cut but another great bargain courtesy of DJbighair!

Got this off eBay in the states to use to help repair my Palitoy Ugnaught 30 back (see my limelight or further up this thread (probably about 60 pages back now!) for the Palitoy one (also from DJbighair!)). The back of the card is completely trashed, some kid went mental with a magic marker I think!

I think that makes 40 some sort of Palitoy carded figures out of 95 (are there more?) debut cards. It's only going to get harded!

Nice pick ups guys . Love the minty Display Arena

I got this dansih childhood colletion the day before x-mas . Very minty figs , some looks like they never where palyed with.
There where some nice cardbacks with Danish price stickers , wich are my second focus after the proofs ( Cardboard junkie )

There where even a unused Luke Jedi , it must have been moc and the bubble just came of the card over time .
I think the kid saved it as moc , as the cape are still in the cardbord wrap and the weapons are still taped in the tray .
There where another minty Luke Jedi i the lot , so it is possible

 

[theslider]

That's a great haul Soren! Like you said, all the figures look quite minty. Good score!

Another one down, two to go ( Snaggletooth & Boba Fett ). Many thanks to Shawn for posting this little fella to me, cheers mate.

 

[sith-smith]

Nice. I always liked how the Greedo figure looked so 70's!!

 

[Palifan]

Any thoughts on why they changed the footers to having rounded corners on the front?
Maybe this should be another topic but I can't imagine many takers.

No idea

Eventually they dropped the footers altogether. Which was a pity as I think they make the whole presentation look better

I guess the share holders stepped in and thought it was paying just too much for all that packaging. First they took the corners and then they took the lot!

I do agree with you though that as well as shuring up the packaging it made the presentation better. Also it helped keep the figures more upright, which is why I never understood why they started to use wider bubbles, again more cost cutting I guess.

One of my other dislikes is when the weapon becomes unstuck or falls out of the figures hand and the person who packed the figures thought it was a good idea to turn their head around, standards, standard, standards!

 

[crealkilla]

Not much of vintage but still Fett related.
Much tanxs to Chris_J for the proof card deal & also the free Celebration 5 autograph card.
