whats that mr pale face PBP DBRS(Dark Brown Rebel Soldier)? ''dont you think this colour suits me'?

poncho ''it does yes'''
DBRS ''well i want a metallic blue bespin blaster''
poncho ''WHAT!!!! they cost **** loads! **** off that bag is the closest to you ever seeing that colour!
......................

Anyways...I got fed up of trawling through ebay for months too see if some unknown seller paired one with a lando or BSG or RS with no luck! so i put a call out for a not so perfect Metallic blaster to the community(burned/broken) etc, anyway Stefan came through for me with a damaged one. Im so happy i finally got one be it though 75% of one.

My Beater Pale Face DBRS is now Complete-ish.

Comparison with standard bespin blaster and metallic if your wondering how it differs

Some new arrivals, one of the newer reissues at the back, painted knee Tri-Logo, unpainted knee Tri-Logo, Lili Ledy, Taiwan, and a standard AFA 90 Hong Kong (not pictured).

I need a MOC example now, which I'm hoping to buy from the Vectis auction

That bespin blaster with the end snapped off looks cool poncho. A bit like the guns from logans run

Following up my recent love of Oddball gear, here are my two latest purchases; ROTJ sticker packs:

 

[benny100]

Nicely displayed stickers, where are they from?

 

[Matthieu]

This Jabba + Salacious Crumb sticker is so awesome! Never seen one before, I need one of these for my Jabba focus!!

Cheers - a chap on eBay was selling a bunch and I managed to grab the last two packs he had, I just double checked for you and he hasn't listed any more... The magnetic acrylic frames are how I've displayed quite a few items now, from photographs through to my Lyons Maid lolly wrappers.

I was finally able to add a Meccano Landspeeder to the collection and I thought this great forum was the right place to post, since this box was designed by Meccano using the UK Palitoy photo art, with the GDE logo (taken from Kenner Canada) and the Meccano logo being added to cover up the SW logo and the Palitoy logo. Meccano did the same with the first release of the X-Wing Fighter (the other two Meccano releases have a different photo art though).

Quite easily my favourite acquisition I've seen this year. Love that box, stunning Matthieu, I so want one of these, beautiful

Thanks Stuart, thanks everyone, for the kind words. I had been looking for this "Aéroglisseur" for ages and I was lucky enough to find this decent example at a nice price on eBay.fr recently. It brings back some nice memories as it was my very first Star Wars vehicle I played with as a kid back in 1978/1979. And I still have my childhood landspeeder in my collection!

[RifleSmile]

Bit of a deviation from the norm for me. Been after some trailers for a while and this one popped up on eBay. A bit of digging showed this to be a trailer for the first rerelease of ESB in July '81, I believe. Need to firm that up really. Anyway, not much to look at but I like him. Anyone got tips on how to store these things?
