Thanks to Iain, 45a CCP added to the collection. #Chuffed!

Nice one on the CCP Andy! That's a toughie to get! That was the last one I needed to complete my 45a debut set

Cheers Jon. I've just been looking at your debut set and others in your collection, absolutely fantastic stuff.

It's taken me around 18 months to acquire those 7 45a's and with limited funds. It's proving harder than I thought but think I've done well without paying the silly money.

Yes, that Palitoy run is a stunner. Also loving that Imperial Shuttle, so tempted to buy one myself.

Yak army!

 

[Mr-shifter]

Yak army!

Never understood that myself. It's a **** figure, has few variations and is bloody expensive to buy.

However, that said, each to there own and collect what makes you happy.

We'll never understand what makes something rare. Why does Yak Face usually command £300-500 loose, yet I see a ton of them for sale. Same with things like Luke Farmboy 12 back. Must have been 30+ for sale on eBay this year, but reckon I've seen 2 Trilogo Lobots.

Yep, they're way too expensive now. I bought all of mine around 5 years ago and they were all for about 40 pounds a pop. So now they're an investment. I guess there's an explanation for you.

Love the hoff , hiding in the background :lol:

Finding those 45a's inspiring........may have triggered something......

Here is a UK store T-shirt for I'm guessing the Betamax/VHS release of ESB.

Thinking it may be used by shop workers to advertise the event.

 

[SublevelStudios]

Grant, that is one sweet t-shirt!

I think it actually ties in with the cinematic release of ESB in 1980 and possibly the showing of both films together. A press pack was sold on ebay some months ago that featured this exact design and it was in conjuction with Odeon Cinemas. It featured all sorts of imagery I've not seen anywhere else, including a display atop a Vauxhall Viva featuring Threepio!!! It also featured a pic of this very shirt.

I can't find the link to it now but it sold for £87, I've not seen one before or since. Needless to say I was outbid, hope someone here got it though.

 

[Grant_C]

Cheers mate- if you have any links please send them over.

I have a few people interested in it history.
