Nice Rebel Commander Iain!

Bit of a landmark post for me... A few weeks back I picked up the last MOC figure in my run of one of each figure on any card, well, to add to that feeling of completeness, today I picked up these two boxed vehicles/playsets to complete the run of every vehicle/playset in any box type run too. Some real tricky ones along the way, not least the bloomin' Imperial Cruiser which I think I won and was subsequently back-doored/let down on 2-3 times via eBay in the past 12-18 months of trying to get one.

And as an added bonus, inside the box of the Hoth Ice planet playset in a little bag was this scarred COO Hoth Trooper.. pretty clean and pretty white actually, just a small dint on his helmet edge... need that YPS gun and cape now!

Imperial Cruiser is a great piece, hard to come by in decent nick, nice one Steve! 8)

And that hard torso Snow Trooper is nice and white, I'll keep my eyes peeled for the YPS gun and correct skirt for you.

Cheers mate :D
 
That's a great ESB Cruiser, nice group of Hoth Stormies too!
The stand and first 12 are not new but the case is, I think it looks awesome!

Two in one day !

Just got a couple of these in (had the ESB for a while) - they aren't 100% - one missing a part and I am sure the other has the wrong part - the ROTJ one is in great shape though

And then I have finally managed to pick up a couple of carded die cast - good job we're going to be making some cases for these soon :wink:

Awesome goodies on show

Love the Palitoy Cloud car pilot. Just think Palitoy cards look the nuts. I have 3 now.

Awesome weapons. The Biker Scout gun was always a favourite.
 
I'm getting a regular on here

This has just arrived via my good chum Neil - very happy to have one of these in my collection and although the card is a bit creased the bubble is a beauty

Also picked this up in a trade the other day - never owned the alternative box before and this one is a beauty (looks like it has just come off the shelf)

That should be about it from me for a while as I am now flat broke (expect a few sales threads up soon!)

Nice Palitoy DSD there Iain. I managed to get an 80 grade Palitoy AT-AT Commander off a guy on eBay who displayed his email address. I got him to sell it off eBay for a discount in both our interests. Touch.
 
Love the Palitoy DSD Iain. Awesome. And those minis are in fine condition.

I've had a very exciting week thanks to UKgarrison:

And then a couple from eBay:

I like them all for different reasons: The 12 backs for shear joy and nostalgia, the 41back because it's Palitoy and the EV-9D9 because as I've previously said, the Last 17 just excite me and make me feel like a kid all over again.

After this week I need to take a breather, take stock.....and rationalize. Need to try and find a focus and recoup some costs by getting rid of those that don't meet it. Damn, that's going to be hard :(
 
Ah, you got the Luke. That was a blinding deal. Just missing him to complete my first 12. Keeping eyes peeled a similar bargain. Will be a long time I suspect.
 
I wonder what one calls a grouping of Yoda's?

or should that be

a grouping of Yoda's, what does one call?
 
More amazing buys everyone - I've never seen that alt box art on the Endor Ranger Iain, looks like a prototype

The blisters are pretty special too. Good to see the diecast acrylic is on the way - It's now a race between GW and UKG (who are currently ignoring my emails) as to who gets my acrylic custom :)
