There have been some really nice buys lately, I am enjoying watching Bram's revenge run really gain momentum and Spooked picking up all his Ree Yees goodies but everyone seems to have been picking up some quality good lately especially Nick - top stuff mate and what a fun way to spend some inheritance money (although as the other guys have said - I am very sorry to hear of your loss)

I haven't had anything to contribute to the thread for many months now as I don't actually buy anything any more lol but I do have something to post even though not technically Vintage! I got these three for my Birthday from Chris and Shawn and they are absolutely awesome:

In the frame is a signed (although the frame cuts the signature off a bit) Kim Simmons print, I knew Kim had taken the shots of the Jabba's Dungeon playset from speaking to him a few years back but he never put any of these images on his site, Shawn worked some magic and low and behold he still had this image tucked away! It is not only a very cool shot done by the "man who shot Luke Skywalker" but it actually also depicts a protomould 8D8 - The quality of the print is amazing and I really do love it!

Bottom left is a Vinylmation/Disney 8D8 Keyring which is really cool (I shouldn't admit to liking something modern but it is!) and something I wanted to pick up as they very rarely make anything to do with 8D8 when they release newer stuff.

Bottom right is a Micro Machines 8D8 from the SW droids set, something that I never picked up because of how tiny it is but now it is in the display alongside the Vinylmation 8D8 it looks pretty damn cool

Nothing better than getting some Star Wars for your birthday especially from people who know EXACTLY what you want! Thanks guys

Love your latest 8D8 stuff Joe, really different and add's another dimension to your collection. Some modern stuff is really, really nice and IMO add's a bit of depth to a vintage collection. They look fantastic mate, bet your really pleased

 

[CRAZYHAZY]

Great haul joe those droids are sick , been with my little neices today and thats the language of the urban youth, so im down with the kids 8)
Cheers for the comments lads

 

[Jedi_june]

@Joe: Awesome 8D8 print :mrgreen: cool figs too.

@CrazyHazy: Congrats on the DT Luke :shock: That's def a must have!

 

[shawn_k]

Great buys as always to everyone.

Joe, Happy Birthday! I'm glad that parcel made it in time. They look great on display.

After working with Kim, I'd highly recommend anyone on here to get a print from him. The detail is incredible in seeing the small images on the box blown up to a nice size. All you have to do is contact him if there's an image you know of and see if he has it. I know I'm going to be in the market for one for myself fairly soon.

 

[rob71]

All these cool acquisitions almost make me feel silly for being happy to find this little guy in my mailbox:
(I only paid about £8 for it)

 

[poncho]

whip - score on the romba 8) a good price!

 

[poncho]

a rather modest and small purchase compared to other amazing purchases on here of late but vintage netherless.
I was at a car boot the other day where i found a guy selling some odd and ends and had some starwars stuff from his childhood anyway i stumbled across this curious, charming and scuffy looking matchbox which was covered in empire strikes back stickers

what was in it?.... 4 original vintage weapons (yoda snake, gaffi stick, rebel blaster and jawa blaster) £4 paid

 

[Grant_C]

Some more great picks.

Nice to see you posting in this thread Joe- loving the 8D8 picture.

Nice VC Jawa.

The weapons find is great- if in ever in an antiques shop, I'm always hoping to find something like that.

Nice one.
