Hey lars, loving the Luke X wing. Is the pale face just a mistake because the hands are a different colour ??

Nice figs.

From Cardiff Film and Comic Con.

 

[Michael Sith]

Great haul of autographs bud

I got one a few years back from Freddie, he's a nice bloke, and genuine ...even though he still scared me :lol:

 

[Grant_C]

Mate- he ruined 3 years of my life (9-12) and was acting like Freddy, saying Freddy crazy **** like- 'take a nap' etc... :shock:

He freaked me right out!!

What a great guy. :lol:

 

[Michael Sith]

I know when I met him, all I could hear was " one, two, Freddie's coming for you"

Great guy though

 

[Jez]

Great autographs Grant, what number are you up to now?
Who do you really want?

Really nice looking loose figures Lars, good one

 

[Grant_C]

Not sure mate- between 30 and 50.

Would like:

George Lucas
Harrison Ford
Robert Watts
Rancor Keeper
Billy Dee Williams

I love any ones I haven't got.

A lot of the one I want are prople who have passed away: Mcquarrie, Kerhsner, Cushing, Guiness, Maraquand

I prefer autographs to MOCs at the moment.

 

[Jez]

You have your work cut out bro. You'll get BDW in Nov though!

 

[Grant_C]

Dam- forgot this.

I won it in an auction.

All my Ewok cartoons are on VHS.

Can any one find where this cell is from?........................................................no? :?

Superb pick ups, chaps.

Bram, I'm always fascinated by the various logos that inhabit the vintage Star Wars world... good to hear of the history behind these latest acquisitions, and to see they've gone to another appreciative collector.

Cracking collection of autographs, Grant- I like the idea of you only acquiring them in person, gives them much more kudos. Even better when you can get a photo of the actual signing, great shot.

This substantial tome arrived today:

I was first made aware of this fine publication when Jason posted a photo of his copy from CE2 (thanks for the order reservation link, mate).

240 printed pages, packed with photographs and information from 1977 to 1986... this will keep me occupied for many weeks to come. Nice to see my copy was signed by the author, too!

Square cardback vintage goodness:

...and I didn't realise there was a first phase released in France on the standard sized card:

Well worth the total cost (including priority shipping) of €40.

[Pomse2001]

Thanks Martin for the kind words

Nice book martin, may we see more pictures from that book ? it looks awesome

 

[TC-14]

Nice book martin, may we see more pictures from that book ? it looks awesome

I think you'll agree with me that it wouldn't be right to post up anymore photos from the content, it's evident that a lot of research and hard work has gone into this and I wouldn't want to impinge on that by being so free with publishing a further selection of printed pages.

Take it from me Lars, it's well worth getting your hand in your pockets and forking out €40 :wink: go on, you know you want to buy it

You can make enquires to Stephane Farcourt about purchasing by contacting him here: [email protected]

 

[Jez]

It was a pleasure to listen to Stephen give his presentation in one of the CE2 panels and have a beer with him and Jason on the Saturday night, he really is the total expert in his field.
I had a quick look at the book on his stall. It is fabulous, but I didn't buy it as I had just spunked all my money on Mark Hamill and some artwork.
I've since heard experienced folk describe it as the best vintage collecting book they've bought/read. I'm glad that you were able to get one for that price Martin, you've inspired me to get one myself.

 

[skywalker]

@Pomse2001 - Some great variants there mate,, I love the Han Hoth...

@Maulster79 - Love the autographs mate especially the Freddy one,, and great Ewok art..

@TC-14 - That looks like a great book mate,, I am thinking of getting one,, what else is in there???

 

[Grant_C]

Hey Martin- Im just ordering one of these. Had a brief look at it at CE2 and it looked amazing.

What do you think of it?
