Great Han Hoth stuff. That foreign card looks amazing. I've never seen those before. Do people collect these just because they are different/rare? As I assume they have no nostalgia for cards they wouldn't have seen as children?

Can't speak for others but I have a smattering of foreign cards. No where near some of the guys. They are just pretty funky additions to a collection. Something different but the same (or nothing like the same in the case of some).

The cool and unique thing about some of the esb poch cards is the landscape photo on the back.

Only a card back for me to add to my focus and this little piece.

She may not look like much but it really made my day I was so chuffed to find it in my parents attic. It has now been reunited with the rest of it which was found last year.
Loft finds are the best things in this business! http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19975

 

[jedi_masters]

Wow. Loads of fantastic purchases lately guys. Good to see s lot of new members posting purchase's. Especially love the Spanish Poch Han Hoth.

Jez is there anything else in your mum and dad's loft. Maybe a blue snag?!? VCJ?!? Good find buddy as that could have easily got swept away with the dust.

Nothing for me of late. Have lost the bug big time at the moment so will just enjoy looking at all your purchases.

 

[spoons]

Had to go back to your loft find thread to work out what that is Jez

Visited snoopers paradise in Brighton today, no sign of TT but I did buy a couple of pieces

Overpaid for an incomplete McQuarie portfolio but got this jawa for half the going eBay price - I really think we're seeing a change back to buying in the flesh, whether it's FF, other shows or dealers. Those eBay and Facebook over payers don't bother looking in old school places.

A cracked bubble but I'm not complaining

 

[Mr-shifter]

Did you get the jawa from the first cabinet as you go through the turnstile, on the end of the row? Full of odd bits of memorabilia, a potf Barada or a Jedi logray? That is the cabinet belonging to the iron man himself. He has a few of those jawas with cracked bubbles around the 40 - 50 pound mark.

 

[spoons]

probably the second cabinet, i did think it might have been Toni's but the lure of the Jawa won me over. The first cabinet had loads more loose stuff and a few reseals as well as a genuine chewbacca Palitoy 45 or 65 for about £45. I'd not been in 10 years - not changed a bit

 

[Mr-shifter]

Yeah, that is tonis stall. The square tall one. The long cabinets with all the loose is owned by a guy called Tim who posts on here as well. He has a lot of stuff but he sells a lot of repro weapons with his loose as well.

 

[spoons]

Regret buying from him now. His price stickers are a pain too - took some of the McQuarie folder with it
Still happy with the jawa

 

[Mr-shifter]

tbh theres no way of telling if its his stuff or not unless you know.

Heres a tip though, next time you are there. If an item has anything other than an orange sticker on it ask for discount as you will get 10% off. If it has an orange sticker, like all of tonis, there will be no discount. There is also a really good t shirt shop next door, if t shirts are your thing.

 

[spoons]

Cheers Ben - I'll remember that

Yeah that's not Toni's stall, the Chewbacca in there is a Toni though (albeit a well disguised one as it looks very worn!) I got it out to have a look and the bubble is barely attached.

 

[spoons]

Are you sure Edd - it's a large tri bubble n it which no Toni's are known to have. I thought it was just a bit of a beater

 

[edd_jedi]

Yeah it's not a trilogo bubble, it's one of the tall Palitoy ones that Toni had.

 

[spoons]

I see - it had me fooled
