AFA Y85 79b kenner card and a UKG Y80 POTF. Hoping to get the full Star Wars to POTF Run.
Minty!! These are just awesome
May the 4th was with me today, with a nice addition to the family.
Not the greatest looker, but very happy to give him a loving home, and a 21bk too.
Huge thanks to Rob Marsh for offering this one to me.

Nice one Mark , only 4 to go 
About a 100 years ago before I was pointed towards this place (cheers Ryan) I bought weapons from this bloke on ebay http://stores.ebay.co.uk/iainitfc?_rdc=1
Well today saw a bit of a milestone event for me because today I received the last two weapons I needed to complete my loose collection. I was deliberately taking my time tracking down weapons that I needed for my childhood figures as I enjoy the hunt but with the prices going up and up decided it was time to get them bought and I think it's pretty cool that I got them from Iain.
The Princess is well and truly tooled up now and ready for anything
Cheers pal, they are perfect and your help getting them at last is very much appreciated.

Jeff - i believe that could be the infamous fake rebel commando esb-h no text baggie. There are lots around. Could be factory over stock but is unconfirmed. Theres a section on fakes in franks guide

I nearly bought one not along go. But passed as it wasnt on franks guide. Frank told me about the esb-h baggies. He said hes unsure on its legitimacyDublinjeff said:
There were a bunch of Rebel Commando unmarked baggies doing the rounds from a UK seller, I bought one for a friend however in hand I was 99.9% sure they were fake. With that said, ESB-H style baggies are certainly legit variations and while I can't remember if I've seen a Rebel Commando in one before (which is the reason I was so happy to find one for my friend) just by looking at your pictures I can tell you that the bag itself looks perfectly fine to me Jeff.
If there is no obvious sign of tampering with the seal or any holes etc then I would say it's all OK and a pretty good score

Hi Joe
Thanks for your input, really appreciate it!
Having looked at the bag again closely, I'm quite happy that it's 100%.
There's no evidence of tampering to the seal...there's no holes front or back....the figure is mint.
Here's a couple of pictures of the seal.

I got a great one on eBay for 99p a few years back. I only need it for one project. It was an auction starting at 99p and no one else bid. Guy was round the corner from my gym. Funny as hell giving him £1 at the door

It's deffo not the same baggie type as the fakes/factory ovestock ones, looks like a genuine ESB-h baggie, never seen this figure in that baggie before Jeff, so great score :wink:
Odd I have never seen one before & that none have been found in multi packs to date, but there's stuff turning up all the time with baggies.

Excellent, thanks for that Frank
Delighted to add it to the Focus....Extra pleased that it's that little bit unusual! Appreciate your feedback.

Damn it I should have priced it higher :lol:
Glad to hear it is the real deal as the Madine I have up for sale I got from the same person and another that I kept for myself all in the same style of baggie. I was sure they were okay as I have a few other figures in the same type of baggie.

So I landed a Rogue One Cast & Crew Bag (given as gift when the movie wrapped) Bit chuffed with this acquisition to be honest! - when I saw Grant land one of these a few weeks back, I was chuffed for him but had green eyes and thought I wouldnt get the chance at one of these.
Then randomly last week I was searching through gumtree of all places and saw a Rogue One Cast & Crew bag for....... £200. I was a bit worried about a postal transaction over gumtree but had a chat with the seller who was a top man. He is a set builder at Pinewood who has ZERO interest in Star Wars but works for the "Greens Team" - he specialises in living props such as trees, grass and plants and of course got one of the bags when the shoot wrapped up. He sent me a few pics he sneaked on set plus his crew T-shirt which he has offered to sell to me (not sure about a used tee-shirt to be honest but debating it)
Thought I would share them !
Cheers
Nicky

Another incredible run of buys from all areas of SW! Jez, I do not fancy your task from picking out items for the podcast from even the last 4 pages. All amazing stuff. Nicky, get all over that Greens Team T, man! It's so cool and so damned limited! Yes, the bag is nicer but I'll bet there's a hell of a lot more of those than the Ts.
Had a hankering for name plates ever since some arrived in a job lot. This lot set me back a small fortune. £1.70 including postage. It single handedly takes care of most of the last 17 which were always going to be the pricey ones. Not sure what I'll do with them. Was thinking about displaying with the loose figures. Having just put them down for this photo, though, I think they'd make a pretty cool collage
These all came from the same seller. He's had some amazing advertising leaflets, stickers and marketing stuff. I was absolutely thrilled to bits with the shelf talker. It's a Palitoy one and, following Vectis selling about 40 ESB ones, is a darned site harder to find. The two Kenner competition shelf talkers are great but not in the greatest condition. They do have full packs of leaflets, though; completely unused. They'll look great displayed though and even though they're Kenner, I'm very happy with them. I was surprised they went as cheap as they did. Probably the condition put off some.
