[rob71]

Wow, 4 pages of new stuff since I last checked, some truly awesome additions guys 8)

 

[Dublinjeff]

Ok, ok so I paid a pretty penny to upgrade....so much so it warranted a thread in the eBay section :lol: :lol:
Anyway, delighted to have added this to my growing Luke Farmboy cardback collection
Palitoy 12 Back.

Pride of place in my little Foreign 12 Back cardback run. Palitoy, Clipper, US Kenner and Canadian GDE.

 

[Stormtrooper37]

Those Luke FB foreign cardbacks look great together Jeff.

I've never seen a Harbert for sale, but seen 2 square backed Meccano Luke FB's cardbacks only in the last year so that one is at least obtainable :wink:

 

[Dublinjeff]

Cheers man, I've never seen either of those cards would love the square back Mecanno card. Well either really :lol: .

Are they huge money do you know off hand....? Genuinely, I'm limited to the range of £150, tops, for a card. Will never be able to fund £300-£400+ cards, oh well, I'm happy with what I'm putting together

 

[Pomse2001]

A few new arrivals this week, 2 less to get on my '£1.59' focus, a not to bad palitoy dv tie fighter and a rather nice condition boxed millennium falcon 8)

Hi kieatky, some beautiful Tri-logo moc and some amazing boxes from palitoy. Great stuff you have received :wink:

One went for £49.00 but it had a 2cm triangle shape cut out of the top left, apart from that a really nice example - was a bargain really. Another went for £120 I think bit rough round the edges though with tears where the blister had been.

The place to look for any Meccano's is ebay France that is where the £49.00 one was listed. French sellers often only sell within Europe or don't offer Paypal, they prefer Bank Transfer, therefore these auctions never appear on ebay uk even if you do a worldwide search.

An Example;
There is currently a very,very rare ESB Square Carded Meccano on ebay France now and because the seller doesn't offer Paypal you won't find it on Ebay UK or ebay USA.

 

[Pomse2001]

Love the land of the jawas, and pig city great pic!

Got this in the post, completely battered and bruised but closest to a clipper I've found so far!

Hi Spookedhippie, still a cool item to have. Congratulations mate :wink:

 

[Pomse2001]

Just got these in... Not vintage SW but still pretty fun when you have nothing better to do...

Just need to put them away before my husband comes home..

Wow Deber, nice Lego star wars, also nice to see you buy our Danish Lego star wars toy

Did the husband see them ? :lol:

He actually opened one of the x-wings aand put it together..
He had a lot of fun, so I was of the hook... :mrgreen:

Just got these in. Now I just need to other 4 (greedo, dsd, luke x-wing, walrus man) So if any one sees them, please let me know!

Hi Deber, great to read your husband also like lego star wars :lol: Wow 4 beautiful proof 8)

 

[Pomse2001]

Love those two trilogos - two which I don't have!

First purchase in ages, the guy had quite a few of these but this is the only one I managed to snag (gutted), managed to reseal it the best I could and it doesn't look too bad for me:

Also got this from the same seller as I don't have a Palitoy Han Solo card back, so this Jedi one will have to do, the name plate has been cut out so I've inexpertly repaired by me. The figure will be flipped on eGay. (Thanks also to Martin who gave me the ability to do the fix!)

Hi theslider, nice resealed Tri-logo anakin, Tri-logo is so cool 8)

I also like the palitoy solo

 

[Bramistuta25]

[rob71]

Nice PD MOC Bram, I've no doubt said this before but I love the colours on this card.

Great Palitoy card Jeff, those foreigh cards look very nice together 8) . I still can't believe that there are cards that sell for £300-400 though, mind-boggling :shock:

 

[Pomse2001]

Finally got my hands on the New Zealand Kenner Jawa. Its a partial seal but glad to finally get it into the collection, woohoo!

Nick

Outstanding :shock: I have never heard about a New Zealand moc very cool Nick, how can you see it is from New Zealand ?

The cards are a bit shorter Lars, and for Jawas has quite a deep bubble (bit like the Jawas on the Kenner 12bk with R2D2 bubble - but these NZ ones didn't have card/plastic packing behind them like the US Kenner 12bks)

[Michael Sith]

Some awesome pick ups here guys,I can't compete with some of the fantastic stuff but have put up my tiny bit of SW joy pick ups


I've never owned a landspeeder, or VME or INT 4 so had to pick these up today, parts missing but got for the boxes really and the 2 boxed and driver, £8 in all so I'm happy with that
Got the landspeeder in a swap for a modern MOC so happy with that as well

Was watching this for quite some time and then finally decided to pull the trigger on it as these Palitoy MOCs (in whatever condition) are thin on the ground (for reasonable prices!) From the pictures I thought the open bubble area wasn't too bad and on receiving this proved the case so all I need to reseal it is an original footer (or a custom one made from a cardback) and a name plate repair - hence me needing a SW Walrus Man card!

Interesting side note, on the bit of the card that is still sealed (the top) exhibits the waffle pattern common with all these early cards, however the card also shows waffle pattern residue (best word I can use to describe it) around the outer edges of the bubble. I've heard tales of figures having 'double bubbles' but never thought it possible. I've tried to show this on the second photo.

Once I get the necessary materials I'll document this cards restoration (although I'm mostly cack handed!)

 

[Dublinjeff]

Great pick up slider

 

[x-pack]

Cool. Could definitely be made to look a lot better with some careful work, and worth preserving the double waffle ( :lol: ) if it's something unusual.

Excellent pick up 8)

The pic on here is just that. If you look carefully at the pic at the top you can see the longer regular moc underneath. Although it doesn't look like it on the pic the bottom edges are lined up.
