Wowzers! Lots of highest of high quality pieces on here.

Managed to pick this up after much searching. It's only the second 'Free Coin Offer' TIE Pilot I know of. Waiting to hear what back from a collector about the back of his card.

This one is a 65 Back.

Amazing how some cards are rare with this sticker. Great example Grant

Great MOC Grant!! :shock: 8)

Picked this up last week. Missing a couple of bits but came with some spares so I'll hopefully be to trade for the parts I need. Box is a bit tatty but I'm happy with it for the price I paid 8)

It's usually the R2D2 that's missing and it looks like you got 2 for your money, nice deal

These are two of the most important pieces to hit my 'Special Buy' focus in a long time. Huge thanks to Lewis for the Ewok and Iain for the B-Wing. Also need to thank -Neil (Jackabina) for his great packaging and the fact the B-Wing arrived in the same immaculate condition. These are both HTF in this good condition, and up until a month or two back i never knew the Ewok existed. These are truly special pieces, and im so thankful to both you guys for sorting them for me. The B-Wing came from the collection that Iain bought from Timbo, and i feel a bit gutted about that but at least it stays in the Uk where it belongs

Will update with a whole new focus thread over the next few weeks. I started this focus to highlight the great Palitoy UK years etc and i know there are a few more pieces out there. The Falcon is a toughie, but the Xwing is a right rocking horse poop and the three POTF packs are relatively easy but expensive.

Enjoy.

That's a sweet b wing, great additions to your focus

Joe · Feb 12, 2015

B-wing is a beauty. I love the 4.99 sticker it's got to be worth a fiver on it's own.

Love the mini-rig.
They used to be 10 a penny but now the Palitoy ESB's are going for £25+ each for decent examples. There's still a few I need but I'll not be paying that sort of money.

beginner · Feb 12, 2015

@Palitoy78 that's a wonderful B Wing in perfect condition.
The day comes you want to sell it, please Lee, i am the first on your list

theguiltyone · Feb 12, 2015

Beautiful B Wing Lee. Is it MISB or MIB?

Marc

Dublinjeff · Feb 12, 2015

That B-wing is awesome 8) ......£4.99 some bargain....if only!

Jimi Woolley · Feb 12, 2015

That B-Wing is incredible! I can't stop staring at it!!

So tonight I went round the house of a man I met on the Internet! I didn't get mugged, molested or murdered but I did get these (not the Droid Factory)!

Foolishly covered up the Palitoy logo for the photo but you all know its there :wink:

They are my first POTF & Droids coins. Not sure whether to keep them or not, got them free so can't grumble!

kingshearer · Feb 13, 2015

Wow nice stash wish I had neighbours like yours, let's just hoped they weren't nicked by one of the other neighbours

phreatobite · Feb 13, 2015

Another day, another MIM figure:

PGowdy · Feb 13, 2015

Nothing so cool as a clear bubble ROTJ MOC. 8)

SublevelStudios · Feb 13, 2015

Love the special buy B Wing. I remember seeing those in store back in the day!

Palitoy PDT8 is a tough one to find, nice one.

LOVE that little haul from the neighbour mate, the Landspeeder is one of my favourite pieces. And good score on the Droid Factory too. You've got some nice Palitoy items there son!

As for the Gam, remember vividly getting this from Tesco when ROTJ came out - easily one of my favourite figures, and a good find in that nick.

Dublinjeff · Feb 13, 2015

That Gam guard looks great... 8)

SublevelStudios · Feb 13, 2015

Picked up some bits recently.
Here's a rare survivor, love the MTFBWY sign off!

Couple of variants I've been after for a while, the Meccano pink face Luke was from one of the FB groups, I've seen these really climb in price so was happy to get one at much less than the £320 than the one on ebay recently!
The YPS trooper was put together from 3 different sources: Figure was £1 from a box of beaters at Donington last year, correct cape was £10 from a lot of beater figures on ebay and the gun was from the AF weapons pack for £30 (thanks to Slim for that one!).

And I bloody love the Helix stuff, thanks to Sheldon for this one

Frunkstar · Feb 13, 2015

Great pick ups guys, this thread is motoring again!!

yogi · Feb 14, 2015

Things have been particularly slow recently with Japanese focus items. Probably pretty much the same for a lot of people, not much coming up for sale and anything that does requires deep pockets

So I was pretty happy to add this to the collection recently. Although I am not a stickler for condition I am happy report that this is pretty much mint

beginner · Feb 14, 2015

very nice Leia

非常漂亮的累啊 8)

Grant_C · Feb 14, 2015

Its the 1k+ a page thread

Rustyrankin · Feb 14, 2015

i Suppose all this is a Latest Acquisition for me, been collecting only for a few months now.
Was collecting a few years back but one thing and another had to stop, so back at it :lol:

Concentrating on my loose collection for now, then will move onto the carded figures.

Some of these i could do with looking for better condition but it's a start for me to work on.

Got most of the weapons also but they are tucked away.

Might sell the Vehicles to fund more figures, not certain yet.
