Latest Acquisitions

[Nick_IoW]

Aww it's nice seeing these things being appreciated in the hands of collectors instead of stuck in a crappy old box

Love the baggie pick ups Edd 8) on the road to baggie ruin now :lol:

 

[Grant_C]

2 pick ups from FF. Been after both for years but for some reason have never stumbled across any for sale. The Palitoy Rancor Keeper Mailer I have always wanted. I can remember seeing it being advertised in a bus stop when I was a child. The ESB-C Tie Fighter baggie has alluded me for years. I have no idea why. I have picked up all the other TFP baggies with ease, but this one always slips through the extremely tight net. So very happy with the Bank Holiday Mission.

Finally got round to framing this, a production used storyboard print that I got from Darren at Starzone a while back. I don't usually buy non-toy reated Star Wars things, but thought this was a cool piece of history to own and much more affordable than props etc.

I just added this Luke Jedi miscard ("Yan" Solo cardback) to the Meccano collection, thanks to my friend Ross Barr who was nice enough to let him go back to France
Luke is packaged with no acessory but the correct palace blaster.

Nice !!!!

 

[Palifan]

Wow, not only would you not get a Han Solo but you'd get a Luke Jedi with no cape or saber, I can just see a small child on the brink of tears trying to thank his granny at Christmas time!

Great item though

:lol:

Indeed a great mis-card 8)

 

[user 5830]

Serious MOC envy! :shock:
Great pick-up

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Green with envy of that RK mailer, Grant! Don't tell me its got a mailing address on the other side?? Nice TFP, too.

Looks great, Edd. Really nice, almost sophisticated piece!

As for that miscard: oof. :shock:

 

[Ross_Barr]

So much to love in all of these pics. First of all, well done on the MOCs, Edd. I myself have been picking my spots lately and acquiring MOCs for $60 or less (I think that's 40 quid or so) as much as I can. A lot more fund.

Also, enjoy the Yan / Luke, Matth. He had quite a journey!

Yeah traveling from the Paris post office to my home took him twice as long as to traveling from the US to France!!

Not 100% sure where this part of set dressing came from, but its from the homestead. Could it be a piece of door panelling? Source is 100%

 

[Lom]

My 'Farthest From' haul; Top Toys Stormy from Jez and Harbert TIE from Mark via Lee.

The Stormy's in great condition; the TIE's bubble is cracked fairly comprehensively to the underside but it displays wonderfully (as does the Stormy) - dead chuffed with both pieces - a massive thank you to all 3 of you!

I was at the location in tunisia a couple of years ago and a lot of those peices were still intact, I did think about trying to get one but why spoil it for everyone else..

The current homestead in Tunisia is a replica built after the phantom menace. The original was scavenged by the local people years ago so they could repair their own houses and subsequently sold on to collectors (and probably where grants piece came from).
I believe one fan found parts of the krayt dragon skeleton being used to hold up a chicken hutch.

 

[Bootyhunter]

I'm referring to the caves which are actually still lived in, I did also visit the phantom menace set out in the dessert which was stunning

 

[Shaky_BobaFett]

A few oddball items .. This electric toothbrush which is missing the brush bit unfortunately ( if someone can help me complete this please contact me ) and this coin holder .... Also these used toothbrushes . Now need to start finding the things I'm missing to complete these items ! Back to the Tomart it is !⚒

Holy crap that's cool! Congrats Grant!

 

[Dr_Ball_MD]

Been after a Probot for a while but thanks to Iain I have the whole bally lot!

 

[SOJ]

It's great to be post Empire items on page 1980.

I had a bumper Farthest From after missing the last one. Here are the 2 big boys I picked up from Jez

Over the moon with these. I'm now only 1 away from completing my run ESB cards.

While I'm waiting for that to materialise I'm busy on a run of Jedi figures on Jedi cards. Nick gave that run a shot in arm with these 4 at an amazing £20 a pop. Roll on December.

The homestead piece came from me, part of the haul I brought back in the mid nineties. The ones that were subsequently out there were replicated for phantom menace filming.

The underground hotel used for the interior shots is in a different location to Tozeur where the external shots took place and where this came from.

Back then, the locals had little real knowledge of the movie and I picked up a large section of the skywalker garage which was being used as a door prop and a complete Krayt dragon vertebrae being used as a fruit bowl !!!
Also brought back a load of bone fragments from the location, most of which went either through Christies auction house back in the day or to friends every now and again. The bits I've had at farthest from are the last spares I have left from all those years ago.

It was a different world out there back then before it became a popular tourist destination, I had to hire local guides and camels to get out to the locations !!
It's a great pity about the current climate in the country as it was an amazing place to visit and an amazing people to be amongst, unfortunately, nowadays instead of a camel and a rucksack you're more likely to require an armed escort :-(

I must dig out the pictures I took as it shows exactly how remote the location was, also have a picture of me on the crater staring up at the (imagined) binary sunset

Maybe a topic for a vintage rebellion podcast feature someday ......
