Nice carbacks Rob! Love that Yoda.

Love that Duel at Death Star Racing Set!

Got this POTF Leia in Combat Poncho from Chris (jedisearcher). This is my first foray in to the POTF world. If only I could focus better!

Still I now have a mini-focus on Leia Combat Poncho. Time to start looking for Kenner versions...

Got a new addition for my Pop Up R2 focus (AKA the most stupid idea ever!) today.

An eBay purchase that I felt a little out of my depths pricing. The fact I outbid someone in here by £1.57 in the last second put my mind at rest a bit!

Had a couple of offers from guys on here (cheers Scruffy Simon, Sublevel Mark & Bram) to collect it for me but the seller turned into an arse & insisted on posting it. I sent him a few packaging guides that Joe had sent me and made it clear just how fragile these bubbles are and he actually did a great job at the packing. Arrived safe & sound this morning and I was shaking like a leaf opening the parcel!

He's a bit rough round the edges and the bubble is a bit crumpled (but no cracks!) but I love him.

He's got what looks like a slither of card sealed under the bubble. I like things like that, shows how little care was put into assembling these!

I'd like to say thanks to everyone that has offered to help & given me advice on this. What a great community

This thread is rattling along....

Some more excellent pick ups fellas! Great leia Poncho card...and that R2 is very nice

 

[robpmarsh]

A Pop-Up R2 focus? Sounds VERY expensive! 8)

...but that one looks real nice!

 

[SublevelStudios]

Phew! :lol:
Bloody stoked it got to you in one piece mate, thank god!
Really cool item too. Can't be too many pop-up R2 focus' out there...

 

[palitoyjunky]

Love the Leias 8) Real nice u have a POTF with a relatively clear bubble and the Tri has the smaller earlier bubble type 8)

U do realise that ur R2 pop up is a Mis-card! You have an R2 sensor scope on a pop up card :!:

I have seen a few of those bubble types with the R2 so not a rare one off.

 

[Joe]

Pretty sure James picked it up because of the "error" guys :lol: Great addition to your R2 focus mate, well played! So glad it arrived undamaged too!

 

[palitoyjunky]

Well it was obvious to me too Joe :!:
Didn't want to state the obvious but neither party mentioned the mis-card factor :?: :!:

Sorry I thought you were telling James not Jeff and Rob :lol: my bad!

 

[Jimi Woolley]

Yeah, I realised it was a miscard (correct miscard bubble & known miscard combination).
Forgot to mention it in the original post :lol:

 

[user 5830]

Gotta love a mis-card; great item Jimmi, very cool 8)

 

[Forumtrooper]

Got this beauty today!

 

[RifleSmile]

Always wanted a shuttle as a kid and one I never had - awesome!

 

[robpmarsh]

A boxed Shuttle is my grail piece.... One day I'll get one

 

[Dublinjeff]

Nice....that shuttle looks mint

 

[steve obi wan]

Nice shuttle

 

[stormcab]

They didn't muck about with huge toys did they, and that shuttle was no exception.

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

James, awesome miscard. I had him in my sights but am trying to take a leaf out of Joe's book when it comes to prices. As he'll tell you I'm a crap student!

That is a great shuttle. Love that toy. Never even held one, let alone owned one. I will have one oneday, but given it's size it'll just have to wait for now.

Your cat looks deeply mistrusting of it. It's probably deciding whether to take a dump in the cockpit or on the drop down ramp

 

[x-pack]

Lovely Shuttle. Well done picking that up

 

[Dublinjeff]

Trip to a local Flea Market today turned up this lot for the little ones collection...not bad for £15...

 

[Forumtrooper]

Nice find Dublinjeff! I never seem to find anything vintage SW at the fleamarkets...well, 15 years ago I found a 1977 stormtrooper. One stormtrooper in 20+ years of fleamarkets! lol

ScruffyLookingNH: It was my first time seeing and holding one up close as well. I had a smile from ear to ear when I held it at the sellers house. It's a great looking one. Some of the decals need to be put in the right places and some cleaning is in order but other then that it's awesome! Still have to get some batteries to test the electronics. The wings work great. And the cat knows not to mess with the collection or it's a visit to the sarlacc pit!

 

[itfciain]

Couple of cheeky little addtions - first a very nice upgrade on my Han Trench - nice little Made in Macao sticker as well

And then a couple of new Die Casts - Kenner and Takara Tie Fighers

Just waiting for some new GW Acrylic cases for them

 

[Forumtrooper]

Great Macao han! I love seeing those trilogo cards. That's what we had in the stores overhere in the Netherlands.
Sometimes I'd just love to rip one open for that new figure smell. I guess that's why I keep myself from collecting carded

 

[timbo72]

Some more awesome pieces guys
