That C3PO head is an amazing find and some of those baggies looks to be in fantastic shape

I recently got lucky on the Dewey Shumate auction - was keen to pick up the CCP with the prototype weapons but that went too high for me - I had a bid in for the loose figures - mainly because I thought they would be a cool addition given their providence - when they arrived I noticed some cross-hatching on the C3POs leg - spoke to a couple of guys on RS and it turns out that this is likely to have been have been a 'chrome test' peice

There is loads of info an pictures here so won't crowd up this thread - http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1120900-8/#post19612769

This is the auction

And this is the piece

I picked up some other bits and pieces but the other exciting set of items were these remote R2's - Tom Derby couldn't authenticate them but coming from this source and marked in sharpie then I am sure that they were some sort of test piece

Love it Iain, absolute bargain. What a turn up for the books!

 

[laurencedyer]

Iain's next loose sale should be interesting lol.
Amazing piece's there buddy.

Bloody hell, some cracking stuff lately... well done chaps.

Can't believe some of the items people have been picking up of late- absolutely stunning! This thread is the gift that keeps on giving!

Collected this little guy tonight 8) Many thanks to Chris Ball for helping get him. Dead chuffed with this- something I thought I'd never own. Has a tiny nick in the cape under one of the arms, but otherwise in very good nick

Will get some better pics sorted for my limelight thread

Late night browsing ebay turned up this newly listed buy it now for the paltry sum of £6 - can't be many of these floating around:

Congrats on the VCJ Cazza

Awesome ticket! Wow, what a find. I didn't know ANH premiered so late over here.

Love the Sandcrawler print and it's been framed beautifully.

Good going everyone. Awesome acquisitions all round!

1.20 seems expensive for back in those days - great find

Been away with work for last couple weeks so haven't been buying much, however this showed up yesterday.

Almost mint and completes my loose diecast vintage run

 

[chipsteak]

Lovely die-casts. I just need a Y-Wing and the other one that I don't really count! .

I can justify not having a Bomber and call it a UK die-cast run. That makes sense, right?

 

[Richard_H]

Isn't there a short and long wing DV tie? You need both

 

[Lom]

And the version of the land speeder without Luke, 3po and the windshield...

Or is it just my one that looks like that?!

 

[indianawars]

That's quite some collection of die-casts you have there! Very cool, and all in amazing condition.

I'm with you there... lovely set, but I'm short of the one who's name shall not be spoken.. :lol:

Picked up my first ever boxed Mini Rig today, have owned plenty of loose ones over the years but never had a boxed one before. Happens to be MISB too It's a bi-logo one. Possibly a new mini-focus for me as I don't have room for vehicles.
