Latest Acquisitions

I haven't had any major acquisitions since last year but today I had 2 early morning deliveries and I'm pretty happy 
Finally added a 45 back proof card to my R5-D4 proof card and cromalin run.
Leia Bespin ROTJ offerless cromalin to go with my POTF cromalin.
I also picked this slide up a couple of weeks back which is kind of neat. It's a Kenner film slide for the cardback photo art and has the term "Phlut Droid" written on it. The term has been used in EU but since I've been told the writing is original to the slide it looks like the term was connected to the old Mcquarrie concept drawing for IG88 but unfortunately I can't find any reference to it. If any of you film experts have any info i would love to learn more about it.

Lovely pic ups Oli, regarding the Cromalin framing, as much as I love that style just watch that the acrylic doesn't stick to the print, get even a mm of space in there.

You're absolutely right Marc. This is just a temporary solution and I've left the frame nice and loose. I bought a couple of nice custom made cases from Steve at UKG and need to get another one ordered as soon as possible.

Lovely proofs. Might have to partake myself one day, but for me still gotta have a figure on it.
Yeah, "nice card backs" a guy once said to me. Cheeky bugger :lol:

darth_daddius said:Gosh there are some great items showing up here. LOVE that Sigma display and the Palitoy IG88 and Tusken.
My latest addition to the focus is something I have been on the hunt for a long time. Its open, but all original and the figure is a POCH Vader as well. Just need to find a footer to complete him.
I reckon that POCH Logo is up there with the Toltoys Logo, and if that's not enough, it also has the very awesome sideways card back.
Big thanks to Jonathan for helping me get hold of this guy.
Cheers,
Pat
Incredible !!!!!! congrats tis a beauty

A few new bits
2 Cloud Car Pilots and one of Iain's fantastic new acrylic stands for my loose Cloud Car!
Emperor beater carded (very cheap)
R2 Sensorscope reseal (thanks to lejackal for the cardback with bubble)
Picked up a cheap B-Wing but the 2 cannons are from the newer release so need to find replacements

Jedi_mister: Nice looking ESB 3PO MOC, great run you have there. I need a Removable 3PO if you need to shift a 79k.
Darth_Daddius: Sweet Poch Vader, best of luck with the hunt for the footer.

Olisuds: Dude you always manage to pick up some stellar items. Great focus pieces mate, congrats.
DublinJeff: Nice RC MOC. The focus is coming along at a great rate.
Jayums: Congrats on the Shuttle,
Savory100: Great Cannon run. Double score with the Rebel Soldier, great idea.

Indianawars: Mint Poncho Luke MOC, very nice.
Dr Ball MD: Great score with the Dewback and Taun Taun. I've always loved the Dewback box, so cool.
Robpmarsh: Great to see a lovely TPCC especially when it's displayed so well with your new stand and TPCCPs. Nice MOCs (Beater Emp) and B-Wing, you shouldn't find it too hard getting cannons for it.

I finally have some Vintage to show off this year
All wonderfully delivered by Neil, courtesy of the ITFCIAIN Emporium and USA Handling Service.
My first Sigma, i say my first as they are wonderful in hand. I really like this.
Next up is this 1st Gen Unarticulated Polish Bootleg. My 9th but the first 'Turd Brown' one i've ever seen. I have a Blue one, Red one, Pinky one and 5 Orange but this one is kinda nice.
Two of Iain's coin holders which nicely show the difference in size between the regular coin and the prototype.
My first MOC of the year. Not my first B-Wing Pilot. I had one before but sold it on to Timbo as he needed that particular one for his B-Wing Focus.

That's actually a pretty cool looking set... of course I no longer have a VCR so I wouldn't be able to play the tapes!
At the time I remember thinking this box artwork was a bit cheesy but now I am appreciating it more. Not quite vintage, not quite modern, but has a certain appeal.
I'm a new collector, but the force has been with me this last couple of weeks... Got this from the same guy I got the shuttle...
Again, no box, but it is absolutely mint. The photo doesn't quite do it justice. Electronics work. Side guns are straight. The chin guns have the slight yellowing but is about as good as I've seen on these.
The guy said it had been unused in a loft for 30 years, which I took with a pinch of salt, but it turns out he wasn't kidding.
To top it off it came with a manual and decals I assumed would be reproduction despite the seller insisting otherwise! In the photographs they looked too sparkly and new to be anything other than repro... But now it's arrived they look and feel like the real deal, and in equally minty condition.
