Latest Acquisitions

[ScruffyLookingNH]

So much variety once again. From Gary's DC Bomber (woah) to Mark's incredible, boxed inflatable sabre (in love with that). With awesomeness of that AT-AT (was that the one with the carded "General Veers"??) and that mighty pretty 21 back Chewie. Anyone would think it was Christmas.

Great buys, guys.

Die cast Tie Bomber - holy **** balls Gary - that is old skool grail stuff right there! And she's a beauty. Tough find in that nick.

Here's my latest haul, last one before 2016, including my Vectis wins - Palitoy Inflatable Lightsabre and Helix display box of pencil top erasers.

Original 1977 SW early screening invitation and x3 Japanese cinema stubs for each of the OT films.

Merry Xmas SWFUK'ers!

Pleasure my friend! Glad you like them, they do look great

Good seeing all the Vectis goodies showing up here. I picked up mine from the post office yesterday, but told the missus to wrap them without me seeing them. This will be like a Christmas from over 30 years ago

 

[spoons]

Brilliant buys people - some quality hauls I show there from FF :shock:

 

[db94]

Love the Chewie MOC, great present for xmas

Just got in from my night shift, and as usual me and the missus open our presents. My 2 Vectis wins arrived on the 23rd, but instead of opening them I handed the box to my wife and asked her to wrap them for me. Tonight I was transported back to the early 80s . The cherry on the cake was that I got these for fantastic prices. The Greedo, an AFA 75, due to a tiny surface tear on the rear of the punch, is the lowest price Greedo to sell this year by a very long way. The tear meant it was finally in my price range. It's flawless from the front. The TIE Fighter pilot would definitely get an AFA 80 it's in such good condition. Again, the lowest of the ones that sold this year at Vectis. These 2 are dream pieces for me. A very merry Christmas. No doubt this thread will explode later today. Well looking forward to seeing all the goodies.

Love that Palitoy Greedo! Sweet card

 

[Andyclarke]

Cracking Tie Pilot and Greedo. Great additions.

 

[Captainsolo1978]

Love these Palitoys. The Bounty Hunter offer brings back many happy memories! Shame these cards are so expensive!

I say we dig up the old Palitoy landfill site!

 

[benny100]

Got this for Christmas from the wife.

 

[Dublinjeff]

Very nice!

I decided to treat myself before Christmas So when I was a kid the only 12" figure I had was R2. Just over a year ago my Dad dug up a picture of me & my brother with our SW collection; the 12" R2 really stood out on that picture for me, so since then I've been keen to get a nice boxed example which was in good clean condition. So when this beauty appeared on the Big Pick I decided to go for it...

As you can see that flap hasn't been folded (though there is a crease mark on some of it). It's also got the original instructions and catalogues which are in like-new condition. The R2 itself is shiny white with a stiff dome and hatch which, of course, includes the plans and circuit board.

I accidentally took a picture with the flash on which came out all 70s disco, so I had to include that too!!

I'm seriously pleased with this, and I'm getting an acrylic case in the new year so I can get it displayed.

 

[DickieM]

That R2 is so cool - I remember having one too.
Also love the Greedo on last page - underrated figure imo

Rich

 

[timbo72]

Dont normally like R2 but that is pretty cool

 

[stormcab]

Nice clear bubble 4-LOM there. Got a Pali one myself a couple of months back. A great looking bounty hunter. I wonder if they'll ever do a spin off movie about him.

 

[rhyfelyser]

Filtered nearest vintage star wars items on ebay to my location and came up with this nicely boxed Rebo band with the band still sealed in their baggies inside with a ROTJ poster. Only travelled 18 miles and got nice discount off ebay fees. A nice christmas present for myself.

It is very clear isn't it! I've no love for the eu but one of the few books i did read was tales of the bounty hunter, think a Netflix style mini series would be great.

 

[Cazza]

Nice 4-LOM, Artoo and Rebo Band fellas 8)

Been a while since I posted anything on here. These are my purchases from the last couple of months. Got the 8D8 from Mrs Cazza for Christmas. VERY pleased with the Leia- red hair variant and was a priority on my WTB list. Thanks to Danny Whiteley for getting in touch 8)

AT-AT Driver was purchased from Dan (SOJ), Snowtrooper from Ebay and Luke Bespin was an Iain special All the ESB MOCs are 41-bk.

 

[Dublinjeff]

:shock: wow...what a beautiful selection of cards!

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Wow, great looking MOCs, Cazza. The survival kit offer ot to be my favourite Kenner cardback. That Leia is a beauty.

 

[Captainsolo1978]

Nice Esb cards! I need an At At driver as one of the seven I need to collect the run!

 

[steve obi wan]

Some great buys ,

Nice Moc's , great Bespin

Love the R2 , been looking one for a while now , maybe next year

 

[stormcab]

Great selection of MOCs there. That AT-AT Driver has quite a lot going on on the front. Makes it extra interesting with the price tags and big red colourful offer.
