[pizzathehutt]

Ended up at a Flea Market today...always on the hunt for some vintage

Came across a stall with a Yak Face and Blue Snag. Asked about prices and the seller asked "are you interested in loose figures"... "Yep", I said. To which he produced 4 large boxes (approx 500) of loose figures :shock: :shock: Much to the delight of the missus!! :lol: Will have to go back next month on my own!

I spent about 40 mins going through what I could before I decided on a little purchase.
9 Luke X Wing figures. 6 complete with blasters...

Brought them home for a little clean. Three COO variants including a number of different family variants. All six blasters 100%. A couple of mint figures...


I feel a reference guide coming on.... :lol:

how much were the yak and blue snag?

Great pick-ups everybody.
Love this thread, but it makes me green with envy at times

After what seems a lifetime, I've finally got my hands on a VCJ.....

.....and an Ikea cabinet to stick him in.

 

[Dublinjeff]

Nice display there

 

[Mr. Bob A. Feet]

Grats on getting your VCJ Twin30mm and your display is very nice, especially liking your Leia Boushh/Jedi Luke and I'm very jelly! :mrgreen:

TBH mate, I never thought I'd own one.
Got it for a really good price from a French Ebayer, so there are bargains out there.

Probably gonna be the most I'm ever likely to spend on a single SW item, though.
If the missus finds out, I'm f**cked!

If the missus finds out I think that's the last thing you'd be.

You may have a point there, young man

Ninja-like, I managed to smuggle the little chap upstairs, unnoticed.
Unfortunately, she saw the packaging.
He was packed into what looked like a bracelet box, so she's convinced herself I've shelled out on some jewellery for her.

This could end messily.

If I was to pick my favourite 2 new acquisitions this month they would be...

A Kenner ROTJ Sweepstakes Poster, and this 1984 coo Barada....

 

[skywalker]

Some serious buy's on the past few page's.. :shock:

That AT-AT is just MINT,, never seen a better one where did you find it Mike..??

Love the Italian 4 pack.

And Walkie I love that poster..

Hi mate, I got it off a well known auction site, it cost more than my car but couldn't let it go.

Do you think it'd be worthwhile sending it to UKG for grading and casing?

Cheers, Mike

 

[Captainsolo1978]

Wow some great stuff there! That Barada looks perfect!

 

[Mr. Bob A. Feet]

Picked this up off Ebay for a reasonable price and just got it delivered...in an envelope in the rain and with just a bit of bubble rap around it, so a few more veins added to it but thankfully the bubble is still in good shape and well a reminder to ask every seller to box items in future!... :roll:

Hi Mike, I think it's worthy of grading - You really don't see any AT-AT's in better condition that the one you have...

 

[Dublinjeff]

Great pick ups there Walkie! I'd say lars would be interested in documenting the Barada on his Reference guide

Yeah I think so mate, should look superb graded and from your pic's it may get a 90..

hard to keep up with all these buys - the four pack is particularly special 8)

Big thanks to Stef for trading the 2 Bespin Polish bootleg blasters, and I also picked up Gus and Duncan's micro book which I was unaware of until recently - a great read (and what a vintage style cover!)

Lastly a childhood bootleg sticker I found this week on an old case. Really a very old acquisition but I thought I'd binned all these so I'm well chuffed

 

[Namelesswarrior]

Loving your Han Hoth figures :shock: :shock:

 

[Gorneesh]

Some sweet pick up guys, that AT-AT looks very tidy. Love the Sweepstake poster and that Gus and Duncans micro book looks interesting. The Hoth Luke looks good as well.
Hope to be able to add to this post myself soon.

Didn't know this book existed so thanks for sharing. I've ordered myself one as I do love a good vintage toy book ( and have a soft spot for these micro collections), so looking forward to seeing it.
