Latest Acquisitions

[robpmarsh]

That soap dish is fantastic! Wish I had space for stuff like that in my collection

 

[benny100]

Never seen that soap dish before! Awesome item.

 

[jedi_masters]

Loving the Sigma Grant.

........hhm...... Maybe start a collection of Sigma instead of MOC's!!!

 

[SOJ]

Congrats Grant, know you've been looking for that for a while.

Myself got a couple new AT AT Driver pieces. I've never seen the Boba Fett clipper offer like this before.

 

[Hooch]

That soap dish is awesome
Another little piece for me with a Teebo coin and as Jez would say I am 'chuffed' as it completes another Ewok shelf

Still looking for a Chirpa and Lumat coin if anyone wants to help out :wink:

 

[JimboUK1979]

Not the most exciting LA item but this was a proper 'in the wild' find. I spotted this on a stall filled with junk on Stafford indoor market (it was like a diamond in the rough). Now I didn't need or particularly want this M.E but I just couldn't leave it sat there so liberated it for £2.00

Great find, mate.
The 'in the wild' finds are the best, especially when you're least expecting it.
Turns me into an excited 9yr old again

That's exactly how it felt, I was like Indiana Jones finding some treasure!! If only it could have been a DT Luke!!

Great cards, Dan. That French card looks almost unused; very clean bubble removal. Great Clipper sticker, too.

Grant, awesome soap dish! I'm sure I remember seeing that on the cover of Tomart's guide in the 90s and laughing my head off. Now I want one, and not just to sit on a shelf but to use! :lol:

Tried a new car boot sale this morning. Nothing there (other than a mint boxed "Super Simon" by MB Games for £2!). And these off a toy trader who overcharges, thinks the 1997 POTFII stuff will be rarer than the 1978 toys and claims to have bought 10 MOC Tri-logo Yak faces for £1000....you know the type. Anyway, I had the following off him. My first "odd ball" bits and I'm well pleased! The Lando is a nice PBP scarred Lando "Type 8" I believe and although not rare I like him; excellent condition and I had a spare cape. The second photo of the erasers just show the covers of the ones pictured in the first pic. £20 for the lot and I had to get him down from nearer £30. Honestly....

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Oh, and this guy arrived this morning from ebay. Yes there is a nasty litho tear where some tool has tried to remove the sticker (I guess it could have been a gift back in the day) but with the utterly stupid money being paid at the moment I am chuffed to bits as this was a few quid more than a loose manky R2 I am still watching (for a laugh) on ebay at the moment!

I have had a disastrous fortnight on ebay with a Palitoy Cantina, an ESB Falcon and a reprinted Palitoy catalogued all having to go back, but at last this guy has made up for it all

So, if anyone has a destroyed L17 Tri-logo card with a decent "New Figure £1.59" price sticker on it I would love to buy it. Going to try and make this one look better. As it's for me, I have no concerns about doing it and when I upgrade the replacement sticker will be declared. I just hate to see the torn litho on what would be a lovely unpunched card otherwise.

 

[spoons]

It took 21 years, but finally got my Sigma Landspeeder Soap Dish.

Brilliant! Congrats Grant

Some smashing other buys lads - is the AT-AT cardback a clipper SOJ? It's fantastic 8)


Here are my latest as I continue buying back Han Hoths I sold 5 years ago. In the case of the Clipper Tri-logo it is the exact same MOC I used to own - paid a proper premium to buy it back The other is an offerless 41 back. Only 3/4 to go to complete a Kenner run I was one short of five years ago :roll:

 

[Grant]

Nice going everyone. Spoons those Han Hoths are sweet...

 

[stormcab]

Great R2, considering mint prices. I wonder if there are any tricks to removing those types of prices stickers without further damage.

 

[sith-smith]

Another awesome selection of varied star wars items. Nice!! 8)

 

[steve obi wan]

More great buys , love the R2 and Han Solo

:shock:

 

[indianawars]

Managed to pick up a nice second picture BK Vader, and finally got a ROTJ AT-AT Driver.

 

[steve obi wan]

Nice moc's buddy

 

[stratpack]

Went along to http://filmandcomicconglasgow.com/ today. As well as getting Dave Prowse's autograph and meeting Jeremy Bulloch had a rummage through a box of mixed loose toys and picked these bad boys..... for a total of 8 quid!!

The Luke farmboy was just dirty and had been chucked in with a load of other figs. I gave him a good clean and he scrubs up great. No weapons but i'm well chuffed with them. Another few figs saved

 

[lejackal]

Just got this on Ebay, originally had a white thread on the front of the cloak but as this has a crushed bubble with the tiniest of cracks in the corner I was able to get a small needle in and remove the cotton improving the look immediately. Also have a lovely case for it to go in courtesy of GW Acrylic.

 

[timbo72]

Great pick ups guys, loving the Jawa and the loose Luke Fb

 

[steve obi wan]

Nice clean Luke , love the jawa

 

[robpmarsh]

A few new bits:

Battle Damaged X-Wing (thanks to starshipriot for the box/insert)

70-back Tri-Logo Stormtrooper cardback

 

[TheGent]

I'd love to have that Trilogo stormtrooper card - memory awakening!

 

[phreatobite]

A couple of new loosies:

 

[stormcab]

My Vectis wins arrived today. My first ever. I bid on several items with either their previous lowest sale price, or on the really expensive ones, just a limit. I was both horrified and excited that I'd won 4. I couldn't believe I'd won the Bespin Luke as that had previously gone for triple what I paid. I bid half hoping I wouldn't win any. I just wanted to make sure I it wasn't a case of "OMFG, why didn't I at least bid as that went for a tiny amount".

Well opening the box this afternoon I was panicking to see what condition they were really in compared to the online photos. Well my god, they were mintier than mint. Even though I'd hammered my credit card, and know I'm now out of the collecting for the near future because of that, my heart was racing at how stunning they look. They are breathtaking in the flesh.

 

[palitoyjunky]

Just when I thought the year couldn't get any better

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

I'm sure stale bread and baked beans will taste like the finest haute cuisine knowing you have those 4, stormcab. Although I'm no advocate of spanking the CC for SW, in this case you have to consider that you would have been kicking yourself from this day forth had you not. Those 4 are lovely. The Tusken and Bespin Luke were absolute steals for what they went for. Very nice acquisitions.

And, regarding Yoda, Palitoy junky......oh yeah. Nuff said

 

[stormcab]

Oi Palitoyjunky!!! Stealing my thunder lol. Nice going

 

[palitoyjunky]

Sorry bud, I think we posted at the same time :lol:

V nice pick ups and many congrats

 

[dianoga77]
