Time for my weekly peruse of the LA thread!
Hoth Jim - Nice loosies, you already have a few doubles in there! Good deal on the Tie Fighter, B Wing and AT ST, the B Wing looks ace.
Savoury 100 - Very unusual Hoth Camo style 3PO (ok i know its paint stripped, but lets call him 3PO Hoth).
Grinchy - Cracking looking Palitoy ESB Slave 1 dude, great stuff. It'll go great in your collection.
StarGeezer - Dennis you know i'm a huge fan of that 3PO, absolute beaut mate.
Ponchobelt - Always nice to see some vintage comics buddy. I've just gone along that path myself.
Palitoy78 - Lee I'm loving the posters and jigsaws fella, in fact the R2 too, oh and the Jawa. Sweet hall mate.

Always loving your work guys.

Two more 77 backs added at the weekend. Not the most exciting acquesitions but thought I would share all the same.

 

[timbo72]

Nothing wrong with a nice Bwing pilot

Scored a great treble for my Birthday - loose 4-lom, Squid head MOC and a boxed Palitoy Troop Transporter.

Squid head was from rangersjedi a few weeks back (thanks again Paul) and the TT was bought last year but stashed away by my wife so only got a quick look at it, been counting the days to get it!
Never had one as a kid and I love it. Only half the stickers have been applied and the sound effects are amazing

 

[user 5830]

Wow... that's a neat TT! love it!

 

[grinchy]

Great scores, love the troop transporter, and the other goodies are ace to

 

[Jez]

What a great score. I love the TT, always admired my mates one as a kid. I loved the sound effects, I've always fancied getting one of those in my collection.
Great birthday!

Picked up a nice Taiwan moulded head Luke Jedi today for the loose collection. I've added a comparison pic as well with my Hong Kong Luke.

He's a beauty 8)

 

[jackabina]

Nice pick-ups all round guys

 

[Section 8]

Super Figs Dr. Was a gut wrenching to let them go, but chuffed they have a good home.

I didn't waste any time spending the funds raised with thanks to Snaggle and LDS.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Beauty of a Troop Transporter Colin 8)
Awesome Haul DR Ball and Nice ATAT Driver Andrew

 

[spoons]

blown away by the sand crawler and those proofs :shock:

some other great stuff too, I particularly like the unused stickers with the troop transport, very nice

So which bit of his head is painted?

 

[SOJ]

Love the AT AT driver Section 8.

Here's my latest ESB MOC. Been dying to get this, slim pickings on EBay or crazy AFA prices. Got this for a song in comparison, 32b, big ding at the top but no cracks and a price sticker mark on the card. Other than that it's spot on- super clear bubble, haven't been this happy since I go my Han Bespin MOC.

Question now is do I go after the 31 back version......

 

[poncho]

dr ball - awesome lj moudled variant
son of - nice beach blonde bespin luke card 8)

They'll be loved and cared for

Glad you've put the money to good use.

Hair is painted on the Taiwan Luke, face is painted on the Honk Kong Luke.

went into a local bric-bric collectables shop today, they sell loose and the odd ship missing pieces of course, i never buy anything, but today i did, noticed a loose klaatu with a luke snap cape on so i snapped him up i couldnt not buy it right?. also noticed a box of mid 90s starwars tat had a rubbage through, at the bottom of it i found a vintage luke gunner chair. i offered the good man a crisp £5 and it was a deal and i was on my way

 

[grinchy]

great charity shop find, i rarely find anything these days, good for you

 

[user 5830]

Is the Klaatu skirt an odd variant too? Just looked over at mine and its a beige 'teddy bear' type fabric...

 

[itfciain]

The skirt has just been shorn of its outer layer - still great pick up for a fiver

 

[Dublinjeff]

Some nice pick ups as always!

Great Luke Jedi...

Latest addition to the collection... Kenner ROTJ 65b Luke Farmboy card. Funny how difficult one of these was to track down. Only seen two in the last few months and the other went for well over double what this cost... Delighted to finally add one to the focus...Now just need the 65a, c and d cardback....

Here it is alongside the Palitoy ROTJ cardback

 

[db94]

Look what arrived (late) in the post today and can you believe it took 14 days to arrive (ebay seller not forum) and it came in a thin padded envelope - who sends boxed items in a envelope!
Luckily no damage at all to the box and the catapult is perfect. This was the last one I was after to complete my mini rig run so pretty happy to have them all on display now

 

[Dublinjeff]

That set up looks great... 8)

 

[Grant_C]

Agreed- that set up looks fantastic- Congrats

 

[Jez]

Amazing looking display cabinet. Very nice mate.
