Latest Acquisitions

[Stuart Skinner]

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!

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?
