Yes it does but I've been doing it this way for over a year now Scott. I like to see what's getting bought. It's the essence of collecting for me!

Glad you got it ok Holger! Was really in two minds whether to let it go or not, it's a great piece.
Happy it went to a good home though

Cheers

:shock: Holy crap that is a cool Sandcrawler. How many years have you been searching for one of those? Sonic Landspeeder to go, I guess?

Here's my first 12 Back. Woohoo! OK, so it's not a Palitoy. And it's a bit of a beater too (not really sure why anyone bothered getting it graded). I can't figure out the AFA site to check it, but this must be the lowest graded example?!

But I don't care! It's my first 12 back and I like him Oh, and he was cheap :wink:

 

[stormcab]

Just back from holiday and these 2 were waiting for me at the parcel office. Had a little splurge on eBay just before I left, and it meant I was almost as excited to get back as I was to go lol. Apparently I got the Lando at a bit of a steal, and the graded C-3PO I thought was a decent price for 80 graded Palitoy, one of the lowest prices I've seen in fact.

I will be doing my first carded figure sale on here soon. I just want to get the items packed ready for fast postage. A few 12 back pieces that I have upgraded from, including graded 12 back C-3PO I upgraded to this from.

 

[chipsteak]

Love the 12-back R2. If that wasn't encased in perspex that would be the kind of 12 back I could own one day.

 

[SublevelStudios]

Finally got a 1st issue ESB X Wing to sit alongside my ESB Tie

 

[tronprogram]

Those ESB boxed ship are gorgeous!

 

[TwistedMetal]

I bid on the R2 aswel good buy

I've waited six years for one to come my way and without the help of Mark (partial payment accepted although in the end deal was done in a week), I actually wouldn't own one today.

And yes, very good memory, only sonic landspeeder to complete my focus.

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Love those ESB boxes. I've never even seen that red background on the X-Wing. So simplistic and yet so good. Really nice pair with the Tie and contrasting blue.

Thanks guys. I'm pleased with R2. As he's my 3 yr old daughter's favourite character it's just as well someone slabbed it

 

[Grant_C]

Everything is awesome.

X2 everybody. Regarding the graded R2. It's the dark blue variation and such is VERY desirable. Grade aside you've got a sealed example so thumbs up.

 

[spoons]

Everything is awesome.

x 3 - really awesome!

My grail arrived today, the bubble suffered a bit of damage in the post, but I'm still pretty stoked. Thats the basic die cast run complete. Only taken me the best part of 10 years :lol:

Cheers Grant, I wasn't aware of that. Just saw a 12 back R2 and was determined to get on the road to 12 back goodness!

Woah! Now one of those I have never seen in the metal! And that packaging is case fresh. Superb acquisition, spoons.

 

[SublevelStudios]

Thanks everyone - the bomber isn't quite as mint as it looks. Some idiot (Cliff) got he back signed by David Prowse and the bubble damage in the post is a pisser. Still very happy though

 

[knopie]

even when I am bussy working and constructing the new room for the kitchen I managed to get me some paperwork also.
I was looking for the magazine poster for years I did cut up mine in my childhood years, I bought one a year ago.. and now I ran into a pile of them..
and a 1000 collector cards, by monty from the Netherlands.. hoping to get all 100 now with the ones I already had

 

[lee gray]

andy - the tie bomber. a hard piece to get i believe,looks amazing congrats 8)

 

[chipsteak]

I remember having that Endor group shot appearing on a rolled poster. A slightly different one with a rotj logo.

It's these things that can give me the biggest warm fuzzy glow sometimes. I wouldn't say no to a boxed Tie Bomber, mind.

 

[Jez]

Holgar, that Radio controlled Sand Crawler looks awesome, congrats mate. Best of luck for the last one!
ScruffylookingNH, dude that graded R2 is awesome, Darker R2s seem to look so much cooler to me.
Stormcab, your Lano and 3PO Palitoys are awesome. Congrats, really sweet mate.
Sublevel, Mark dude congrats on the 1st edition ESB X-Wing. Brilliant on it's own but when paired with the Tie its awesome.
Spoons, stoked for you with the Tie Bomber mate. You've achieved something really cool completing that set dude.
Knopie, what a great collection of cards etc, nice one.

Not a poor showing at all for 24 hours lads :shock: :shock: So many great pieces to think about for the next podcast recording!

Hopefully find some time to photo my recent pick ups tomorrow.
