I found a French guy on a French auction site, who wouldn't post outside France and would only accept a French cheque as payment.
Good job I live in France then! I payed the equivalent of £7.32 each, all have been taped up apart from Barada and all are on 77 Palitoy backs apart from Yoda who is on a 45 Meccano. Winner winner chicken dinner

:lol: That cat/wokling combo is priceless. Someone get some badges made for CE3!
Steve! Man, I'm totally green with envy! What I wouldn't do for an EB pack. Love it, great buy. Don't worry, I'll buy you a pint next week. You'll have to go mine sweeping for the rest, though.
Ollie, :shock: Less than £8 a figure? Buy of the month, so far, I'd say.
I have two new arrivals and I'm a happy bunny. The 45a 4-LOM continues in what is becoming an unintentional "thing". In May I was in Vegas and was lucky enough to pick up a Trilogo Hoth Trooper I'd won on ebay as the guy lived in Vegas. This month I've been in Singapore and, noticing a FB listing by a guy living in Singapore. I contacted the seller and asked if he was open to offers. Long story short I met up with an unbelievably friendly (and generous) guy who showed me a collection that I doubt I will see bettered this side of Episode X (I know). On top of that he forced this 4-LOM into my hands at a, frankly embarrassing, discount on his ask. It was a great evening despite me ending up eating frog legs.
The FX-7 I am even more pleased with. The 45b card is considered dull by some but I have a soft spot for it. The clean lines and the awesome ESB logo just work for me. And there's something about the FX-7 cardback that I love. If I can pick up some more Palitoy cardbacks I may just have to make it the subject of a focus. This one was from the forum's newly minted member DarthGulliver via an eBay sale. Chuffed to bits with it, cheers mate I will be releasing FX from his tomb at some point.

Really great additions there mate 8) I have always loved the clean sharp look of the 45b 8) Not too many 45b FX-7s about either :!:
Nice one.

Cheers fellas. Small world, Marc! He's a cracker. I had no idea the twin stems were so thin on the FX-7. They're nearly knife edges.
I did have to do quite the search to find any sales records for a 45b FX-7 as I didn't want to overpay (standard). I could only find one result on Vectis over a year ago. Checked with Gary what sort of rarity he was before committing as I thought I was just not finding other sales but it would appear it's one of those that are hard to find but not competed for so good value.

Recently picked up this General Mills Lando 45 cardback which I'm rather happy with:
On a bit of a roll the past few days, which as mentioned before, having been madly saving for Celebration, is not exactly the best news cash wise, but collection wise I'm beaming!
I went to Roll Out Roll Call, the GI-Joe/Action Force and Transformers show (that Dave Tree runs) with my Brother (he's an AF collector) this weekend and one of the chaps there (who was a speaker at the event) had these behind his stand, they were his uncles and had been in a storage room for decades, they brought them over from the states on the off chance someone might be into Star Wars on the day(s).. I may well have been the only SW guy there though as I think I saw only 1-2 other SW items at the whole event.
I present two Rumph tankards, with boxes.
Now I'd never seen these in person before and it's fair to say they are somewhat larger than I expected and the detail on them is just amazing. Does anyone else have any of these or collect them. I see there is a Vader to join them as the set, but are there more? Is there any significance in the box art; one being multi character the other being just Obi-Wan?
Cheers
Steve

Those are pretty iconic pieces Steve, wasn't one of these a fave of George Lucas himself?
The Kenobi tankard is a piece of art.
