Cheers guys. I think the Palitoys, although they're at the easier end of the scale to get, show you can still get 12 backs at a reasonable price if you keep looking. I'm 5/12 down and, apart from the Jawa, the expensive 6 to get, but I reckon I can still get the whole run put together in the above sort of condition (75/80?) for less than £12k. Yep, a ridiculous amount of money to spend on toys, but this is a run of 12 back Palitoys in the current mental market we're talking about. And anyway, it makes it a fun mission if there's a challenge So far I am well, well under target. But with Chewie, Luke and Leia to get with the only slightly less mental Han, Ben and Vader before them, it's going to be tough. On a mission for a Jawa now, but that little blighter is proving tough with only the torn litho one on ebay seen for a while, by me at least....

[chipsteak]

Lovely Pali cards, Tron. I'm a bit envious of a few of em.

 

[indianawars]

I think my favourite is the mis-carded figure - I'd love to get one myself for my focus, but saying that, I think everyone has done an outstanding job of finding some very beautiful items - So well done all...

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Love those card backs, but I particular the 30 back(?) Luke X-Wing and 45a Power Droid. Very nice indeed. Great to see some Ledys, too. Not seen some of those cards before.

 

[chipsteak]

I'm still on the flyer trail. This one is half the size of the later ROTJ era flyers, making it the dearest bit of paper I've bought per surface area.

 

[kvavik]

Imperial Stormtrooper - Poch 37/41 A-back
Love the placement of the logo and the figure variation. Was super lucky and got this item through a trade.

 

[Mr-shifter]

Kvavik

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Stunning piece mate. Simply stunning.

What's up with the positioning of the poch logo on the front though?

 

[user 5830]

WOW! That Poch piece is a seriously beautiful item; thanks for sharing - love it!!! :shock:

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Pure Poch Porn

 

[TwistedMetal]

Them Pali Mocs are awesome picked these two up today.

 

[currymonster6290]

just had these 2 arrive in the post. both from different sellers
the die cast display had the original shipping case with it as a bonus
big thanks to the 2 chaps who made these happen

 

[olisuds]

Imperial Stormtrooper - Poch 37/41 A-back
Love the placement of the logo and the figure variation. Was super lucky and got this item through a trade.

Wowzers that is a stunner!

 

[olisuds]

Enough of all the new toy love - this is my Force Friday present to myself !

Few of these turned up in Australia - believed to be bubble test - pretty cool combo those

Very nice. Not sure why people call them miscards even though I know AFA wrongly label them so. It's a carded sample with a 77 back character on an earlier 48 back card. That's not a mistake it's a cool pre production piece before the Nikto card was ready for production. Very cool combo too!

 

[Princess Raya]

Amazing stuff on here as always. I definitely want me one of those Poch cards - just don't tell me the odds. Or the price for that matter. Ignorance is bliss.

I'm hoovering up cardbacks at the moment. It's satisfying my desire to have one of everything without causing money or storage issues. Ackbar offers are my main target for now.

I did stray slightly this week though. But he was one of my faves as a kid, and one of my favourite cardbacks now. Thanks to Damien Indianawars for this beauty.

 

[Tenebrous]

Really nice Rotj Luke, my favourite figure. I have my original one, and when I first moved out of my parents took it with me, the rest of my sw was in the loft.

 

[chipsteak]

I enjoy the Ackbar offer cards too - good haul, Princess.

I'm often contemplating a Luke Jedi MOC. This thread inspires me really do my budget in.

 

[sith-smith]

Can't keep up with this thread. Too much cool stuff posted.

Great new additions everyone! 8)

 

[Cazza]

Good grief! This thread is amazing!!! Simon, those Palis are gorgeous- you did so well there with the loose figures as well.

Lots of great cardbacks being picked up and those store displays are excellent- especially with the shipping case.

Kvavik, that Hoth Stormtrooper is fantastic mate! Love the card reverse- really special 8)

 

[timbo72]

Sweet card backs and Luke Jedi

 

[stormcab]

Hoth trooper is blinding. Think those need to be displayed back to front as the back is so awesome

 

[Cazza]

Nice ROTJ MOCs there- particularly like the TFP 8)

Liking the Luke Jedi MOC too- he's on my list as well!

 

[chipsteak]

In love the image in the die-cast display with the four vehicles. Especially the landspeeder for some reason. I would be proud to store my Space Vehicles in that.

 

[Grant_C]

Some of the nicest pieces ever shown, have recently been highlighted in this thread.

Quite staggering.
