It's probably becoming apparent that I'm a bit of a logo fiend when it comes to the various Star Wars licensees, and while a Takara MOC was slightly out of my budget range :roll: I decided to settle for this pin badge from 1977, just to satisfy my craving.
I love the packaging, and it was a real treat to see the design on the reverse as this wasn't photographed in the original auction listing.
That Takara logo does make me smile
My sincere condolences go to you and your family. Hope your feeling better bud. Awesome haul of Ewok Catapults & AST-5's :shock: your becoming some sort of a legend Peace.

In the meantime, I have been snaffling up a few of the coins and am up to 33 + 6 of the Droids/Ewoks - picked these up recently
Love those coin cases - good recommendation from Chris there
I also decided it was time to pick up a few bits that I don't actually own - and I thought I might as well make them all of the same character (so I guess you can say it is a focus) - have more on the way but this is what I have so far
A Popy - this one is a beauty and comes with the catalogues
I also picked up one of these - mainly inspired by Pete's Yaks
Thanks June, I'll keep a look out for another Takara badge for you. And if I decide to move on two of those Palitoy Stormtrooper cards, Stevie and your good self have got first dibs if you're interested!Jedi_june said:@TC-14: That book looks awesome, I always wanted to check that book out. I love the montage of the Vintage Price Stickers. Sweet pic up's off EBay, the Palitoy Cardbacks are so cool! I love that Logo! Are you thinking of selling one of those Stormies :wink: lol. And dude that Takara Badge is Kick Ass! I def need me one of those ASAP
Shawn, your new GW case looks the business. It shows off all the elements in fine detail, you must be really pleased. I recall just a couple of months ago somebody posting a shot of a Popy Luke Farmboy in a similar case, with the box, baggie and two catalogues set out in a similar style- I'm guessing Christian engineered that fine piece, too :wink:shawn_k said:Not new item, but new case that is really nice. This is the new GW Early Bird case that Christian has just begun offering. He did a really great job with it and the dimensions hold everything perfectly snug. If you have an Early Bird set, but don't care for grading, this is definitely one to get.
Cheers, Dave! Apologies for harping on about this badge (I do love it so, can you tell?) but I was just about to leave feedback for the seller on ebay and I've only just noticed this at the end of the message:.Q. said:
