Latest Acquisitions

[Hooch]

Awesome pick ups everyone
Me being a Aussie and a Ewok lover I definitely needed this in the collection

 

[itfciain]

How do you top an Ewok Bubble - I feel Hooch has just dropped the mic !

Anyway, this has been a bit of a grail of mine for a while - I got close to collecting the full Trilogo set and this chap was one of 5 I didn't have - I have sold a few since then so will need to have a count up to see what I am off now but still happy to have him. I owe thanks to Edd for pointing this one out to me - sourced fro Brian's Toys and described as a C5 then I wasn't too keen to start off with but it was a C5 because of ink touch up - which to be honest bothers me the least in terms of faults - upon arrival I can say I am very happy, really nice card and a decent bubble for a Trilogo - there is some small inking in one corner but hardly noticable - and it's not like I would have got it graded anyway!

Yeah put it up, would love to see it. Give me something else to chase. Love the oddball items

 

[Mr-shifter]

Iain, that Luke is lovely. C5 my arse. Sadly highlights the "if I can't grade it, it's no good" mentality of some collectors. I would be pleased to have it in my collection.

 

[benny100]

Possibly the best parcel I've ever opened!
Afa80 Snowspeeder, the other two are just acrylic cases. The Hoth Ice Planet set is complete with inserts, and yes I built it!

 

[theforceuk]

Lovely Trilogo Luke Hoth and that Empire hoard is very nice. :shock:

 

[db94]

Great Trilogo Iain - love it when you pick up something you've been after, I always assume you have everything you want so great to see that you still get the buzz of picking something up for your own collection.

Kieatky - wow, wow, wow - beautiful Falcon, bloody chuffed for you

 

[knopie]

some cardbacks arrived today

 

[kieatky]

Awesome looking card backs (the original owner must have had every mail away item ever produced )

 

[Joe]

Glad you finally got a Luke Hoth for a good price Iain, hope you aren't too far away from completing the set now that you've sold a few..time to finally finish it perhaps

Love your Clipper score Peter! Thanks again for all your recent help too!

 

[jedi_mister]

A couple of ESB Kenner cards to add to my fledgling ESB debut card run. Thanks to Iain Sanderson for these.

 

[lejackal]

Loving the Falcon, Trilogo Luke Hoth, ESB boxed sets, ESB debut cards, Ewok oddities and to be fair everything!

Here's my latest courtesy of Stuart at Hoth Ice Planet Toys. Would like to have done an Andreg style unboxing but with the maximum security packaging it would have turned into a bit of a video nasty. Must be classed as Royal Mail proof, never mind bomb proof!

Scott, please, don't encourage others to show their obscure ewok items too
Before you know it this great forum will be flooded with all kind of craziness
I mean, we know you have 'your thingy with ewoks', and thats fine. Just dont others in there too .. 8)

 

[poncho]

Benny - the snowspeeder looks great in acrylic
Knopie - nice cb's , shame they have name cuts, but they have survived all these years and are in goods hands
j-mister - nice mocs not too yellowed eithier, look at the gold lining on that bsg 8)
lejackal - Tri logo awesomeness!

 

[Gorneesh]

My latest MOC.... I'm supposed to be working on loose and Bossk only. Oh well

 

[robpmarsh]

Biker Scout Pistol (thanks to Iain)

AT-ST Cardback that's gonna be a reseal project too.

Big fan of the Tri Luke Hoth, nice pick up Iain 8)

Pretty serious haul there mate 8)

Some really nice stuff posted of late guys!

I finally managed to snag the first 12 collectors stand earlier this year, in original mailaway box and with original leaflet. I've been after this for a long time so was delighted to finally get it. Unfortunately I'd nowhere to display it where it'd be sufficiently protected...

...until those nice people at GW acrylic created a case for it! I have to say it looks fantastic on display and I'm really pleased with the way the case finishes it off. (Apologies for the crap photo which really doesn't do it justice).

All I need now are a decent Leia and Chewie (Chewie's in the care of my Mother-in-law till Christmas as a present!).

 

[kieatky]

Those look awesome, especially in that case

 

[Woolyniner]

That for me is the perfect vintage star wars display, one day.....one day.... 8)

 

[Hooch]

Great display stand peekaygee73
For me just a few clear bubble upgrades I managed to score for my case

 

[Droopy]

Completely agree, that is my grail.....I would be quite happy with just that and nothing more......for a little while at least!

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

So much great stuff being posted.

LOVE the mail away stand. I'm on the lookout for one with mailing box. You've got a corker there and with the GW case it looks the nuts. Has to be the centre piece of any collection.

The clarity on those ewok bubbles is insane :shock: Lovely. It's so good my first thought would have been fake!

Great Trilogo Luke Hoth. Wow. And that inking would not phase me one bit. Who gives a toss if it can't be graded? Could this be the main benefit of the grading hype?? Any item that can't be graded is now worth sensible money as oppose to insane?

Lovely Trilogo Emperor. I have one coming from the US. Bizarrely, out of the last 7 Trilogos I've bought ALL 7 have come from overseas. Not only does supply seem to be better but the prices aren't stratospheric, either, even after the increased shipping cost.

Great additions, guys.

 

[steve obi wan]

Some great buys guys ,

Love the tri logo's and the Esb boxed sweet :shock:

 

[Hooch]

Something different to dress up my Ewok display
