Hey Lars, the side project may or may not have something to do with Jabba's palace ;-)

Baggie madness continues,

Lumat well hard to find I know, ev and anmanaman were on my hunting list. A rare hard to find Sw pin head Han, a popy r5 and a probot Baggie. The one I most chuffed with is the no smile lando. Taken me a year to track that down. Just 3 more to go and all figures and variants bagged :lol:

Good to be back on the scene

 

[Djbighair]

Appologies for image size, photo app on my iPad wont work, so couldn't edit the size. Rich

 

[rob71]

The large photo makes it all the better to see that cool R5 Popy

Bloody hell this thread rattles along

Some lovely prints Jez they look great above the vehicle display.

Martin, nice pickup and that sticker is awesome June 8)

Matt that's a great mixed bag there, but my favourites have to be the R2 and R5 MOCs

Jambobbyb congratulations on finishing the first 21 run, and that No 10 stormy plate

Spooked and Iain, looking forward to seeing the updated limelights once the cases arrive. Love the DSD Popy as well.

Shawn the EB pack looks great in that case, shows everything off very nicely

 

[rob71]

Haven't posted much on here for a while as I've been too busy moving house and getting things sorted, so here are a few things I've got over the past few weeks.

First off Han courtesy of Mumbo - this one completes my first 12 (well 21 actually)

Next a Hammerhead 21 back from Dennis (Stargeezer) which I had him send to the AFA for me, coming back with an overall 80 (80-85-85) really happy with this one

Next a Tie-Fighter Pilot which I bought from ebay (a collector of 20 years :roll: ) not too impressed to find this was a reseal even though I specifically asked the question not sure what to do with this one...

Anyway things get better again now... a pair of Palitoy mini-rigs complete with inserts and instructions

A full set of UK Series 1 Topps Star Wars cards (I sold my almost complete set years ago and really wanted to get these again) sadly the bubblegum smell I remember as a kid has completely gone from these...

And finally... not a new acquisition, but all my loose figures ready for putting on display (at last!) which I will post pics of soon

Bloody hell this thread rattles along

...at break neck speed!

Spooked- superb purchase by way of June, love to see those original price stickers, too.

Rich- I heartily applaud your baggie madness, but it's your Popy R5-D4 that's got me drooling. I'm hoping to start out on these myself (a little earlier than expected as I still haven't completed my loosie run, but hey-ho), and it's great to see the size of the box in relation to other figures... I always imagined the packaging to be bigger for some reason... but I really like their compact size. Perfect for a collector like me with limited space :wink:

And finally, Rob- a real shame you were duped on the TIE Fighter Pilot, BUT! When all's said and done- it displays great. Really mate, it looks the business... but if you're always going to have that nagging doubt then I would get in contact with the seller and voice your concerns.
Cracking purchases from Mumbo and Dennis, too. The real blast from the past for me is your acquisition of the Topps cards... I'd forgotten about these and the bubble gum aroma that came with them (back in the day)- I've got to look out for these myself.
Looking forward to some updated photos of your collection from your new base

 

[Pomse2001]

More great stuff guys,
Jammybobsterbob, nice haul and congrats on completing the 21 run.
Sweet pick ups Tim, a new project eh? My money is on a Hoth scene, am i right, am i right?

[Pomse2001]

After nine months of having a freind in the US hold onto a bunch of stuff for me i finaly got around to picking up this large haul of SW goodies (although i have no idea how to get it all back to the UK )

There is quite the spread of items here buti can't be bothered to multi post so here goes the lot...

Lego - The New Ewok Village and the B-Wing Fighter.

Shadows Of the Empire - I only really needed the comic 2 packs to say i had a complete run of modern comic 2 packs but as the other figures are great and the price was so low i took the lot, but i promise this isn't an in to getting back into modern collecting...

Disney - The two box sets are from this years SW Weekend. The Star fighter with Jedi Mickey is pretty cool, the driod is nice and overall this is a good ship. The Sarlac pit is great, the figures are nothing new but in that setting and layout this is a great set and for me it keeps my collection of Disney cross-over figures complete.

Vintage - the figures of interest... R5-D4 of RoTJ card, lovely figure and in great shape. Barada on POTF card, nice figuer there is a little creasing in the bottom of the card but not bad. Snaggletooth on Empire card with Revenge sticker, lovely figure and card and very happy with this one.

Then we have two big figures (for me anyway). R2-D2 12Bk Kenner card, this is an excelent card, there is a small ding in the top of the bubble but overall this is in great shape and is fantastic. C3-PO on Empire card. This is an almost perfect card, the figure, bubble, card everything is great and these were 2 i have been looking for for a while so very happy to have found them and within my budget

Oh and latly there are a pair of plush figures, Jedi Mickey with light up saber and Chip and Dale as Ewoks, (although i susspect my daughter will have these the second she see them...) and for the eagle eyed amoung you, you will have spotted a MASK figure. That is a coastal partol Matt Trakker and is the last of the carded figures i needed to have a full set of serise 1 and 2 figures, so very happy there as well.

Enjoy.

Wow monkey_roo, you have received a lot of items :shock:

Nice to see you have some of our danish Lego

Damn I do not know where to start :lol:

I love it all but my favorites is the shadows of the empire moc 8) I think those figures and cards are so cool 8) and all the vintage moc, wow.

Love the R2 and c-3po moc very much they are some of the best moc kenner created

 

[Pomse2001]

That's one heck of a haul, monkey-roo... are you thinking of shipping it by container? :lol:

I've just received this bad boy bounty hunter from across the Atlantic from one Mr Figueroa... and with a couple of extra surprises in there- his SWF.UK sticker being one of them
Thanks mate, you're an absolute Gent :wink:

Hi Martin, nice bounty hunter and a great sticker 8)
