I picked up the Barada/Weequay mis-card (and misaligned printing of the cardback) to pair up with my Warok/Weequay mis-card. an interesting little side-focus coming together now as I have Weequay on a 77 back and a Tri-logo already...

Am liking mis-cards more and more 8)

Love these! Saw them for sale and really fancied them but couldn't quite decide if I wanted them that much... Now I know I do!! Great pick up!

I went camping at the weekend & came home to about 5 new pages on this thread! Some incredible pickups guys!
Nothing of note from me for a while but I took delivery of a bit of evening reading material today! A signed copy of 'La French Touch' direct from the author, Stéphane Faucourt, himself.

Looks like a great book. About 20 pages in & so far it's very interesting & very well written. There's also lots of cool pictures to look at :wink:

That book looks the business, how did you come across it?

I'd flicked through his previous book and enjoyed it and I contacted him through Facebook for confirmation on an item I was looking to buy and before I knew it I'd bought his most recent book. He's sold out of his personal copies now but you can get it on Amazon (for nearly twice the price though :shock: )

Hi guys!

New member from Stockholm and also "new" to collecting Star Wars. Had a couple of figures many years ago but since they were/are pretty expensive for a 15 year old kid, the collecting came to a halt pretty early and the pieces were eventually sold to welcome new sneakers.

Now, a couple of years later I´m back in the game and it feels awesome. Started from scratch 3 weeks ago with a 6 piece lot of badly shaped loose figures. Since then, packages has been pouring in from all over the world. Ebay winnings along with purchases from various forums has now resulted in a complete loose collection in under 3 weeks. Well, not 100% complete since I´m missing loose versions of Romba, EV-9D9, A-Wing Pilot, Admiral Akbar and R2 POP. Although, as I´m heavy-searching these pieces 24/7 it won't be long until they are in my possession =)

See this as an short introduction of myself along with my first of many more to come unboxing videos. Enjoy!

Couple of new MOC's

The only Popy I need

 

[user 5830]

Wow! that Popy rocks!!! great pick-up!

Now for something completely different...

My wife actually encouraged me to buy this one as it reminded her of the treehouse she had as a child! Totally off focus for me, but as she was buying, I wasn't complaining for such an oddball item.

 

[SublevelStudios]

Rich, glad you landed that Popy mate, it's a tough one to find.

Steve, I think you really bought that Ewoks treehouse because you're going to play with it :wink: Don't worry, I wont tell anyone.

I use to have that tree house too, but as of yet I haven't picked up this because of it. You'll have to now get the odds and sods that came in this range too, otherwise you won't feel right about it.

:lol:
Can't deny that when I unwrapped it all I did indeed play with it, at least a little... it's clearly all very nicely laid out in the photo! Got me!

The only Popy I need

What a beauty! Congrats!

 

[Jez]

And they call it Popy Love....
Thanks to Rich who managed to bid and win this for me whilst I discovered that I had zero internet signal (which was nice), whilst camping with the family. The case and catalogues I already had from my Han Popy but combined look really sweet in my Luke focus.

Thanks again Rich

 

[Jez]

Sweet! Double postman day

Thanks to Iain and Neil for helping me get this from the USA, love it. Everyone needs a 2-Pack :wink:

And this chap courtesy of Iain and Neil again, not as nice as the one I'm selling on but with a special sticker on the back which had always eluded me. Everyone needs a Chief Chirpa :wink:

 

[SublevelStudios]

Lovely stuff Jez, that Popy looks great in that case!

 

[andy x-wing pilot]

Great Popy LXW Jez,
Looks awesone in the display case.
I best start looking for 1 myself now and a case

 

[itfciain]

Couple of new additions to the vault for me

First up is this Canadian Transition Sticker C3PO - nice way to get the fixed limbs on a Jedi card (albeit a sticker!) - believe this is one of the more common transition pieces but still a cool item

Next up is this Takara (Alternative Scupt) 12 Back C3PO - love the expression on his face

All fit nicely with my (flukey) pre-production Chrome Test C3PO and Harbert 12 Back

 

[Grant_C]

Focus evolves.

Droid Focus?

 

[Mr-shifter]

That's not the iffy Facebook one is it Iain? That's a real nice trio of Mocs there.

Haven't seen the iffy FB one but this is one is all good for sure

 

[stormcab]

Oh my days! those 3P0s!! Unique enough on their own, but together like that. Wow.

 

[hellhippie]

ledy han bespin
ledy yoda (tacky paint)
poch Imperial commander (thick eyebrows unique paint scheme)
Poch hybrid obi wan

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Those 3POs are very cool, Iain. Particularly like the transition sticker one. Bit of a focus coming on their nicely. Does this spell the end for the DSD focus?

Hellhilpie. Always like seeing the variants. A real education. What's the hybrid nature of the Obi-Wan?

Awesome Popys, guys. Two great, great characters, too. Anyone here got a full run of these?

It wasn't iffy per say. The bloke that was selling it was trying to do a dirty blind auction and kept advertising it for different prices but I guess this is a different one.

A really nice collection of 3pos. I think the photo on the fixed limbs is head and shoulders above the rem limbs. Liking the funky foreign Mocs a lot.

early pbp (POCH) spain figures sometimes had parts that were exclusively painted in spain and a bit later would get some parts imported . that where the hybrids came in
