Latest Acquisitions

Great AT-AT commander card. I always really liked that cardback picture and it looks especially nice with the Palitoy logo...

 

[Palifan]

Massive, massive thanks to Andy (Clarke) for letting me have this at a great price:


Only one more card to go!

Congrats for scoring one in your collection Stevie.

Can't wait to see some pictures of the entire collection once you have that last missing piece.

[ZippyNL]

Excellent thread this, I forgot about it for a while, but have also just spent the last few minutes catching - top stuff guys!
Here's my humble entry:

Admittedly the figure is as common as muck, and the bubble is lifting, but hell it's a Palitoy MOC on its debut card for 27 quid! Can't be bad.

Weirdly enough, the Star Wars monthly issues are much rarer. I have been looking for issue 163 for well over a year now.

 

[robpmarsh]

a few new bits:

Latest 2 issues of the on-going Marvel Star Wars comics....looks like they will be doing the full First 12 (hopefully 20) run

A box for my Topps cards:

A really cheap set of Art of...books:

 

[sith-smith]

Some more awesome buys.

Like the AT AT commander 8)

 

[Jediknight3263827]

newest edition Probot playset
been playing all morning, i feel like a kid again

 

[db94]

What a great way to display ESB figures - oh I really want a Hoth playset now :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[jedi_masters]

Some great pick ups lately guys.

Spoons that Han Hoth is a beauty and £45 is an absolute bargain at todays prices. Well done.

Love the Hammerhead as well, how the hell does a MOC get so badly damaged, creased and crushed yet still survive.

Turret playset is next on my list! It's easily one of the best playsets made, and the most accurate.

Couple of recent ones for me:
I can finally get shot of my Area 51 Palitoy leaflet as I scored big time with the real McCoy! And at only £30 it was my bargain of the year so far. And as a bonus, tucked into the back page an nice UK Topps version of the 1st series wrapper!

Next is another Palitoy item with some great prototype shots in, the 1978 trade catalogue, love the cover artwork for this. I'm told the '79 catalogue has even more prototype shots in.

Your collection is starting to look more and more like mine!

Love both of those catalogues and still have my original toy leaflet that came with my childhood Palitoy Death Star as well as that 78 trade one with those cool prototype pictures in it, some amazing stills! I even picked up one of those wrappers a few years ago and could still smell the bubble gum

Great additions for you and the wrapper will go nicely with your box.

Cheers Ian!

I really want to aim for a Pali Death Star next but feel it might just be out of my price range. Finding one in a decent box, complete is going to be a long haul. Keep your eyes peeled for me mate!

 

[itfciain]

Have picked up a couple of stunners for the collection - and massive thanks to Paul for his patience in waiting for payment and for the amazing packing job

Next up is another playset that I have never owned - picked this up over here - box isn't amazing but to be fair better than originally describes and then the set itself is in great shape.

 

[pizzathehutt]

nice stuff Iain!

Ive seen plenty of pics of the glue stick/ewok in books but very rarely see them pop up in collections or for sale, same with the bib fortuna colgate, very cool pieces.

 

[theforceuk]

lain - Don't really know what to say, so just go for the classic.
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

That C-3PO is amazing.

 

[jedi_masters]

Bloody hell Iain some lovely stuff there.

Love the UHU Ewok although I think it would look even better U Graded!!!!! :roll:

The 3PO is a thing of beauty and a stunning piece. 8) 8) 8)

 

[knopie]

[Princess Raya]

And look what was waiting for me this evening when I got home from work - a box of Santa Iain's awesomeness!
I particularly liked the personalised Princess Raya labelled box - you could have charged extra for that :lol:
I do like a good Fish Head, this Ackbar will be taking pride of place on display! Thanks Iain, look forward to your next post :wink:

 

[Grant_C]

Pretty staggered by the stuff on here.

Awesome.

 

[Mr. Bob A. Feet]

Haha Princess Raya great picture I can just imagine Admiral Ackbar saying "it's a trap"...

Awesome stuff from all in the thread and why I don't comment here is because I'm so very, very jelly!

 

[Princess Raya]

:lol: Haha. I was chuckling "it's a trap" to myself as I was setting it up!

 

[Stormtrooper37]

Wow Iain, they look better than when I had them :lol:

Seriously though, glad they arrived safely.

 

[Clarkspie&chips]

******* hell knopie, that's some score for 1 weekend!

Here's my latest buy, been after one of these cunnies for ages and managed to get him for a reasonable best offer on skankbay.

The bubble is a bit crushed but isn't one I've seen before and I was wondering if Joe, edd or another trilogo legend might know if it's anything interesting. It's super thin like the typical anakin bubble and with the sharp edges but seems to be a bit bigger. No made in Macau so I wasn't sure if it was a Frenchy.

 

[Stuart Skinner]

:shock: :shock: :shock: great pick ups everyone, appears the price rises aren't scaring us off on this forum. Love it.

 

[sith-smith]

Awesome

You literally have to check this thread every couple of hours to keep up!! 8)

 

[sith-smith]

My modest recent addition, is another Baggie
