Latest Acquisitions

Top score Mike. First time I've ever even seen that promo sticker!

My collection of press and preview items has increased.

First invite is the first one I've ever even seen and must be one of the only kind to feature the early 'Pointy W' logo. items that have that logo are really few and far between. It's certainly one of my favourite items thus far.

Second is an early screening preview pas for ESB - these aren't that rare but finding one at a bargain price is - less than £30.

And thirdly a Cast and Crew screening pass for ROTJ - again, been on the look out for one of these for some time and although creased in the middle, it was a bargain at £35 IMO.

These things, whilst not everyone's cup of tea, represent a real part of SW history to me.

Nice kitten moc! :lol:

U-grade it!

Seriously, I'm a cat person and that is a cute little furball. Nice pick up

Matth, interesting sketches. As you say, the Rancor is awesome. I reckon I could have done the Max Rebo one, though

Awesome AT-AT. Favourite vehicle and to see your run of them is mouth watering, Mike. I'm praying for snow this year in the hope hope you get them all out to recreate how the Empire should have handles Hoth

Absolutely brilliant premier and preview paperwork, Mark :shock: Loving the ESB leaflet artwork in the format. Would love to see all three posters done in that format in full size. And I never even knew the Star Wars wording had a previous form, let alone seen it. Love the Cast and Crew screening invite for Marble Arch. Was seriously, seriously tempted by Mike Edmunds' own one when that came up for sale but the last thing I need to do is branch into another area of collecting.

Great, great pick ups everyone. Real variety this time.

Sublevel: Sweet collection Mark. I haven't seen that pointy W before, really cool. The cast & crew items are also really nice. I totally love this sort of stuff, as you know. I'm still choked by your generosity.

Great stuff as ever lads

Building up the fockuss now, just added another Polish bootleg.

Also happy to have just received this proofcard

[currymonster6290]

just landed this off ebay. thanks to mark for stepping back from this one cheers mate

 

[SublevelStudios]

It belongs in your collection mate

 

[bespinlover1978]

Very very happy with this £130. Couple of clips missing and top cover but I'll restore it. Other than that very good condition!

It must of been destiny I was logged onto gumtree and as I refreshed it the dearhstar add came up, I called him instantly...and negotiated a deal...

My fav childhood piece is back in my collection. Merry Christmas all

 

[TwistedMetal]

Great pick up mate I never seem to get a sniff at anything on gumtree

 

[bespinlover1978]

Great pick up mate I never seem to get a sniff at anything on gumtree

Gumtree is a battle ground I was lucky I called him the instant he had put it on.

 

[stormcab]

Gumtree is like eBay when it comes to timing. You'd have to be on it all day refreshing it waiting for that deal to briefly PPP up. Anyone who has the patience to do this deserves goodies like this.

 

[TwistedMetal]

Waited most of the year to pick up a 3PO moc, finally got one! Not impressed which the packaging but he's in s safe place now

 

[Cocobean]

Just won this on eBay looking forward to receiving it

 

[snlmace]

Sweet purchases again guys.

Picked up my 90th MOC with the addition of the Power Droid.
Logray was from the 50+ mocs from FB. Was hoping it was an upgrade to my Kenner one.. but they are both in the same condition.. oh well Logray focus coming up.. lol.

 

[stormcab]

Congrats on the Power Droid. A little bummed I sold mine now.

 

[steve obi wan]

Getting closer buddy :shock:

 

[Clarkspie&chips]

I must have got back before everyone else but I can definitely say that was one of the best farthest froms I've ever been to - I've never seen that many mocs in one room.

I did disgustingly well today and really got some milestone purchases:

Gorgeous gammy to bolster the growing jabbas goon run

Clipper a wing pilot to complete my trilogo pilot run

A couple of loosies

A couple more loosies. I'm so happy I don't need to find any more of these annoying guns.

Another CAP-2 from the charity auction.

This one looks like a euro varient if anyone knows what it is please let me know

Kenner shipping box, big thanks to marc coinnut, im really happy with this one

And finally something i never thought I'd own, thanks so much to NickIOW for this. I'm over the moon.

And I'm spent.

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Woah! This **** just got real :shock: Mate, I did not know you managed to snag a VCJ! Very, very nice buys there. And as for your B-Wing Pilot: result

FFX was amazing, but I'll wax lyrical about it in the events thread.

 

[user 5830]

Good to catch up today Scott, great pick-ups all round there, love the shipper and really glad to see you got the VCJ you wanted 8)

 

[Jimi Woolley]

Nice VCJ and the B Wing with black blaster is amazing! Did the seller not realise? That's one tough blaster to find 8)

 

[Clarkspie&chips]

You did alright with blaster mix ups yourself eh Si :wink:

 

[JimboUK1979]

Boosted my Luke FB focus with a couple of picks ups from FFX: (Thanks to Chris Mann for the ROTJ Luke FB MOC):




They fit in great!!!

 

[steve obi wan]

Nice pick up guys :shock:

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

You did alright with blaster mix ups yourself eh Si :wink:

Very alright, thanks to you Thanks again for the heads up! Will add my FF buys when I'm back home later this week.

 

[theforceuk]

Love all the pick up's everyone and the Luke farmboy focus looks fantastic.

 

[snlmace]

OMG, did I just see a Tri Logo with "Bart Smit" price sticker :shock:

for those who don't know, thats a toy shop/chain here in Holland and it's where I used to get my childhood toys from. Seeing that sticker brings back great memories

congrats with all of your new purchases guys, it's a pleasure to look at
cheers,
arwin

 

[andygo]

Did you get the B-wing pilot from me ??

If so, then there were a few 'Xmas bonuses' amongst the items I sold..

The weapons and figures were all from that mate of mine's father-in-law. Once I'd paired up all I could and picked out bits I needed, there were a few goodies left over, I think I stuck a black blaster in with a B-wing as I didn't have any more of the other coloured ones

Whoever got the loose slave 1 would also have found the carbonite han inside in a bag !

Nice to spread the wealth as I really couldn't complain about that haul and as a collector, the money was secondary to making someone's day and all in keeping with the spirit of 'farthest from' days

The CAP-2 I put into the auction, don't know much about that variant but I'm sure someone on here will chime in. Interested as I have another one of them in my collection

Cheers,

Andy
