Latest Acquisitions

I almost mentioned those two C3PO's as they didn't look to be that much worse than the two before them that sold at 200 and just over 100. It seems that the price of these reseals fluctuates all the time. One other thing was I thought the one you sold had a footer, was it not original?

Nice pieces though and I remember someone on here showing a step by step way to sort that Yoda footer out without causing any damage.

I made the footer from an old cardback for my old one.

I remember that thread but can't find it anywhere!

You did make your 3PO look good with your footer but it is always nice to score an original. I've just had a look for the thread on fixing the footer and here it is -

Hopefully you'll be able to do it with your Yoda and be sure to show us the results if it does work out.

Thanks Ian, sadly it's twisted around so it can't be done - never mind it's still great!

At last something to show after months away...

A proto / pre production rebel commander head. Something a little different.

It is genuine before anyone comments..it's not made of glue or resin.. From a trusted source.

Nice head- is it from Todd Chamberlain?

Found this one tough to snag- but here he is:

Sweet han moc buddy

 

[Captainsolo1978]

Nice Han Solo! I have that one without the offer! Although he is not as rare as the Luke Gunner.

 

[Dublinjeff]

Great looking han Solo figure there

 

[Nick_IoW]

Picked up a new Jawa after some haggling, Meccano 65bk

Really happy with it's condition, the tape on the bubble is put on in factory - in case you were wondering.

 

[itfciain]

Wow Nick - that is very nice

Love the Han as well Grant - not an easy one to find on ROTJ

 

[wrighty]

Nice pick up Nick, I did think it was you that picked it up.

[Frunkstar]

Some great acquisitions as always guys, that Jawa is great Nick & the ROTJ han is one tough card to find, both great scores!, also like the Australian Luke Jeid MOC :lol:

Been slacking with this thread & not posted anything for any age due to time constraints, but I have been getting some nice items baggie wise of last, I was very lucky to be able to help with some ID'ing for a big Kenner for Gary over on RS lately & he was kind enough to let me buy the baggies that came in the find, oddly many of them being palitoys, but the guy they came from worked in the quality testing department so it makes sense.

Here are a few of them -

SW-b & SW-b factory error (No Text)

Palitoy-k & another one with weapons Error (no weapon)

palitoy-k

palitoy-k

& I had some help getting this one from the states via a friend, this is a very rare ROTJ MP that is not included on the Kellerman matrix, really stoked to get this one as well, sealed & minty it is, really a bit of an oddity as well as it does not sport the large red round sticker like other ROTJ issued MP's & not character line up on it wither, just the stocking number.

 

[poncho]

nice baggie haul frank 8) so you have no idea what figures are in that box?

Awesome to see that you picked that up Frank! That multipack and two others were exclusive to Montgomery Ward and all 3 have the plain label like that. Here's some pics of my leaflet, but if I remember right it is actually shown in the Kellerman book too.

Here's something I've shown before, but finally after a few years got it framed. Really happy with how it turned out.

 

[slim]

great pack frank , i see another on ebay , very nice indeed :mrgreen:, that 48 prefix is a montgomery ward mailer but i cant find it , i wonder what the story on these is ???

 

[simoncardwell]

Loved this figure as a child. always wanted him MOC, found him through the forum..

 

[x-pack]

My latest

The last of the ESB cardbacks I needed courtesy of Jeff. One of Todd's customs. I have a thing for IG88 so this is a great item for me. Todd's work really is superb

The two books were in storage at my mum's place along with loads of other stuff. Can't find a date on the Sci-fi one but it's clearly 70's or early 80's. If anyone collects Droids items I would part with the quiz book. PM me

 

[Palifan]

Congrats on completing the ESB run and love Todd's work on that IG88, it's the one I kept thinking about picking up so I'm really glad to see you picked it up to add to your fantastic eclectic collection.

Cheers. It was getting a bit too organised for my liking so needed something random

@ Ponch - the figures in it ar Admiral Ackbar Madine & Boushh

@ Shawn - yes its included in the Kellerman book, well spotted & great to see you have the leaflet mate 8) if you ever spot another going please do bear me in mind buddy, glad someone is on it mate, did you note they are not included on the matrix for some odd reason though :?

@ Slim, like I just said, its shown on a flyer in the Kellerman book but is not on the matrix for some odd reason, I also have no idea why they do not sport the large round sticker of figure line up like all the others, unless these were the first to have been issued, never seen them come up for sale before & hope to see the other 2 packs at some point, also ver glad I did not pay what the guy on ebay is asking for his, he got his from the same seller I got mine from indirectly, there were 3 in the find, I bought one & the guy who helped me get it had one & the other had already been sold to the guy selling it on ebay, very rare pack as I understand it.

 

[timbo72]

That 2-1b Moc is awesome buddy

 

[Grant_C]

Big thanks to Andy and Scott

 

[tiefighterboy]

Nice to see more of my work in the hands of real collectors. Glad he arrived and you are happy.

Will do Frank. I don't see them often, but have seen a couple over the years. It is interesting that for whatever reason John didn't include those 3 in the matrix.

 

[Bramistuta25]

@Grant - You really need a better camera dude! Those are absolutely stunning pieces and they look average there!! :lol:
