Got this minty case as part of a job lot. The insert is immaculate and the sticker sheet unapplied. .

 

[SublevelStudios]

Nice piece mate!!!

 

[edd_jedi]

Cool, I've never seen that green insert before. I wonder if it was originally square with more figures on it and they just cut it to shape :lol:

 

[spoons]

Not seen the insert before either - looks great

In case anyone is interested, Just did a quick search on Google and found a thread on rebel scum. The 3po case had 2 case inserts. A 65 bk and 79 bk. The green insert is the 79bk version.

Great pick up SOJ.....
Nice info on the insert.

Got another graded Zuckuss for the focus, unfortunately this one has moved slightly in transit, might have to get another one

AFA OCD!!!

I've had this happen to me before with a VCJ but a little jiggle set him straight so maybe worth a go?

Are you going for a Zuckuss focus or maybe trying to get all the bounty hunters with 85 grades?

Ian

Tried that he's not budging, his legs are bending a bit so he's not straightening up.

EDIT* It worked, he's almost straight!!!

Just going for a Zuckuss focus.

 

[Palifan]

Well it was worth a shot, look forward to seeing some more at some point

Ian

 

[benny100]

So pleased to get one of these for the focus at last on the right is an esb-c Baggie to compliment the Rotj-j baggie, going to send them to ukg now

 

[itfciain]

Couple of new additions - not as exciting as the last but still heading into the collection

First up is this rather cool factor error Ackbar - obviously packed this way - couldn't face looking out onto the world !

Next up is this Tsukuda Nunb - another one to my foreign collection

And finally, I have upgraded my Hybrid Snaggletooth (will be putting the other into the sales thread shortly)

 

[theforceuk]

All great pick ups but let's face it the Ackbar is different.

 

[poncho]

soj - nice figure case looks great
iain - love the snag upgrade 8) and ackbar is really quirky nice pickups bud

 

[Jez]

Nice update on the 3PO carry case.
I'm glad the Zuckass has repositioned nicely for you Dr Ball, he looks great. Always loved that figure, awesome weapon.
FX7 collection coming along nicely Benny. How many baggie variations are there for him?
Iain, you have 3 beauts there mate. You can imagine Ackbar staring at the back of that card saying "It's a trap!", quality Tsukuda NN and lovely Tri Hybrid Snag. I'll be watching your sales thread

 

[Princess Raya]

:lol: Love the Ackbar Iain.

You fell for another trap again Ackbar, didn't you? - go and stand in the corner and face the wall.

 

[Cazza]

Loads of fantastic pieces guys- good work. Dan, that Threepio case is immaculate! Love the Blair Witch Ackbar, Iain. Is that a common bubble? Don't think I've seen one quite like that before.

 

[Stormtrooper37]

Love the Ackbar Iain 8)

 

[user 5830]

Love the Akbar! factory errors like this rock 8)

 

[Jedi_june]

Really awesome pick up's

Makes me miss collecting

 

[Jimi Woolley]

Brilliant pickups from everyone. Hadn't looked for a few days & I'm pages behind!

A couple more ticked off the list, Imperial Gunner & Orange Snake Yoda.
The others were too cheap to turn down. 3PO is an upgrade as my little lad broke the arm peg on mine ages ago (I glued it & he now has him in his collection), 8D8 is one of my favourite figures & is the 2 circle variant and finally the Gam Guard....you can never have too many GG's!
I'm having a month of from buying any Star Wars (bought 5 Last 17 this month!) so I'll see you all in May!

 

[Dublinjeff]

Great loosies there Jimi...

Picked up another figure for my mint, loose, 12 back figure set....Really nice, Complete, 'Made in Hong Kong' COO Ben figure. Thanks to Dave aka talldroid for this one

 

[edd_jedi]

Very pleased to add this to my collection, I don't usually collect vehicles but the Speeder Bike is the first one I got as a kid so I wanted to pick up a MISB one. I had actually already been watching this one on eBay but following the Speeder Bike thread on here I noticed that the seller had incorrectly listed it as the common Bi-logo one when it is in fact the much rarer Spanish PBP Moto Jet Luckily nobody else seemed to have noticed it either so I got it for a very good price!

 

[SOJ]

Nice score Edd,

Sold off a load of my poster collection last year to help fund my thirst for completing my Empire MOC run, one of which was my double bill uk quad from 1980. The one item I regretted letting it go.

Saw this on eBay Friday snapped it up. Its in much better condition than the one I sold. Gonna get this framed ASAP and on display. Measures 30"x40"

Here's some nice info on it
http://www.filmonpaper.com/posters/star-wars-empire-strikes-back-double-bill-quad-uk/

If anyone is interested the seller also has the triple bill. Suggest making an offer for less than £100, he accepted mine.

[robpmarsh]

A few cardbacks for my collection:

 

[Grant_C]

That's an interesting TFP cardback.

Guess toytonis glue doesn't work to well.

 

[robpmarsh]

You reckon its a fake cardbacks? Compare pretty much 100% to my recent MOC TFP

 

[edd_jedi]

No those are definitely legit, you can tell from the pronged bubble marks. The TFP has just been coloured in with ink. Besides Toni didn't have any fake cards.
