Great little book, I remember rushing out to grab a copy in Waterstones when it came out. Its one of the only books I held onto through the ups and downs of my collecting and I still enjoy flicking through it all these years later!

Thought I'd pop a few up

First up is this Droids C3P0 - had a few carded by never owned a loose one

Next are these Luke FB's - few different variants including a Glasslite

And finally, this Japanese R2 - never seen one of these before and did a little bit of research on it - really cool piece and although the bo on this one isn't great the unit is still nice & white, and it comes with pretty much all of the original paperwork & original battery

More info on it here - http://theswca.com/images-forei/r2-coke-radio.html and here - http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1107974/

This is a pretty big deal for me. I'm on a very tight budget so I thought Yak would have to wait for a while. I was buying Luke and the seller offered me Yak. Bit of haggling due to his dodgy right hand and a deal was struck. Well happy with both just need to find Luke a blaster :roll: Promised myself I wouldn't buy any incomplete Last 17 His legs are a lot whiter than they look in this pic.

 

[grinchy]

Love the R2 and the other bits to, very nice
That luke stormy looks mint, and the yak is good to, great scores.

Prior to Farthest From I had not purchased any vintage for 30 years but being in the company of keen collectors was clearly infectious! When I was there I picked up a few loose figures for my son but aside from a couple of acrylic cases, I bought nothing for me. There was some cracking stuff there though and I found myself quite drawn to a number of things including proof cards; I'd always fancied a Revenge one. I'd also always really liked the AT-AT Driver as a figure and as a card and from there the inevitable has unfortunately occured.

So, I simply say to all of the fine people that I met at FF that have helped to ignite something previously dormant..... You bastards!

I sense this is the start of a very slippery slope.

 

[grinchy]

Thats ace, i have a soft spot for the At At driver myself, thats a nice minty example, and the proof card is brill, very jealous!

 

[Michael Sith]

Iain....lovin that R2 8) he's a beauty
Jimi....super Luke Stormy and Yak...congrats

Lom...very nice ATAT driver and proof

 

[robpmarsh]

Picked this childhood collection up on eBay recently....shame the weapons were sold separately and I missed them! Ben and Vader have their tipped sabres, Yoda has his snake and the Ugnaught has his case. Figures are all in amazing condition and I don't think they were played with much







Got this from the same seller (also got my recent boxed Mini-Rigs from seller too)


More Tri-Logo goodness

 

[beginner]

@ robpmarsh
that's cool stuff, nice carry case and i like this open Belly taun taun
great

 

[benny100]

Finally!!!!

A ROTJ J baggie! According to Frank one of only 3 known examples, so this makes it more rare and valuable than a vcj? Right?

So pleased to finally get one..

 

[Frunkstar]

Thank the bloody maker at last! I can now breath a sigh of relief Ben, odd eh all that time looking, then you drop straight on a super rare one, they will all come out of the woodwork like buses now :lol: well I hope so for you.

Rob - very nice loose lot, they do look to be in fab condition,what a bummer you missed all the weapons though buddy :|

Iain - thats one odd bod R2

 

[x-wingMark]

Very Nice FX-7 Benny

Rob Marsh you are on fire at the moment - another great lot

 

[theforceuk]

Awesome luke stormy, and well done all the rest, some great pickups.

 

[edd_jedi]

AT-AT Driver is a great choice for a focus, cool looking cardback and loads of cardbacks to collect.
