Boom - Simon wins the internet. That helmet is totally amazing!

Loving the rest of the latest buys too, a Greedo for £42 and those mailers are pretty special

Close-up of the trophy it sits on:

As Mark mentioned, I have a Raleigh Extra Burner, the same model I had as a kid and that along with this is on display in my collecting room 8)

Steve, I'll be honest, I think you just won I didn't know the BMX one came with that cool custom trophy! Such a cool piece and (I think) a steal to boot!

Rob, great focus pick ups there, mate. That Leia Hoth poster is the nuts!

As things slow down on the MOC front (Palitoy prices generally too high and Trilogo I'm pretty much down to the more expensive or at least less frequently seen section) I'm finding real pleasure in picking up regular or common items that have something odd or rare about them. This one is great fun (for me, anyway!). It's a Kenner MISB Ewok Glider with the Palitoy sticker over the Kenner POP, with an Italian General Mills import sticker over the top of the Palitoy sticker. It was a bit pricey for what it was despite winning for the opening bid but given the novelty value I think it worth it. And "bit pricey" at this end of the market is a couple of pints over the top as opposed to a couple of nights in a 5* hotel over the top!

Great mailers by the way , need all of them . Rob great deals with those cards mate Didn't notice them so didn't comment. The helmets are amazing. Great charity.

Would love to see a picture of a bunny hop on the Raleigh burner with the helmet on :wink:

[walkie]

Congrats Pat on picking up that carded Hungarian Vader, I'm still trying to locate a sabre for my loose one.

So september is turned out to be a superb month of collecting for me. After my Red bar R5 now my newest addition to my collection . A few of u may have seen I mentioned I had brought a palitoy Luke x wing 20 bk cardback with bubble partially attached. I managed to get a minty complete figure and obtain a footer and went about re sealing it. After a bit of advice and some help I managed to do it last night and I am happy with the result. It's not perfect and clearly you can tell it's a re seal and I'm fine with that as I'm not out to fool anyone that it isn't any way a few pictures-before and after .

Cheers⚒

[robpmarsh]

Great reseal there Ricky!

 

[Cazza]

Loads of fantastic additions, fellas 8) Those helmets are awesome! Nice cardbacks and that Takara Vader is special. Cool Ewok Glider and some nice loosies as well! Great couple of pages

Shaky, that LXW looks the mutts nuts. Great job- very impressive! COYI!

 

[Michael Sith]

Takara is a super piece

Great job on the LXW bud, look super that on display, very nicely done 8)

 

[Cardbackkid]

Super job on the re seal ! Best one I've seen in ages

 

[darth_daddius]

Thanks for the comments guys, it was over a year in the dealing for that Takara and I'm pretty happy to finally have one in such great condition.

That Palitoy 20 Back looks brilliant Ricky. The Palitoy 20 back cards are really cool variants in my opinion. Are there any other cards that have the cardboard Deathstar on the back?

Cheers
Pat
