Latest Acquisitions

[Hooch]

I have been a bit lazy popping up my latest but here is another furby that arrived yesterday
Pretty happy with this Kanuk and scored it for under 50 gbp posted from the US to Oz

 

[darth_daddius]

Nice. He looks to be in great condition Scott. Nice work.

Cheers
Pat

So much greatness again!! Although in terms of rarity Mark's marshmallow box is incredible and super cool at the same time, and Edd's Luke FB 70c (differences on TL cardbacks still lost on me, but I'm getting there!) are incredible pieces, I think Rich's R5 salt shaker is the winner for me. Brilliant piece! OCD would prevent me from owning one half of the set but I entirely understand why you only wanted half, Rich. Still, could have split a set with Jim Wooley

Steve, as rare as that Han is and as cool a piece of history of the OT toys as it represents, it looks frickin awful :lol: I think they are amazing survivors but they're a bit like one of the rooms filled with specimen jars or unborn foetuses: utterly gross but you can't help but have a peek before being disgusted with yourself. Great find, mate. Will look amazing (in a gross way) in a run of those things.

Good purchases all round again, guys.

Yeah, he's no looker... I was a little concerned he might damage the camera! :lol:

I have recently acquired a Kenner Dagobah playset; loose but complete. Usual situation regarding the swamp foam; can anyone advise regarding getting a reasonable, good quality repro for the 'swamp'? Thank you

 

[spoons]

I'd just cut up a kitchen sponge Jonno - not worth paying for something, and then the foam wont fool anyone into thinking its repro

Loving the recent buys, I've now got a hankering for Glasslite too 8)

I finished one of the shorter vintage runs today, this Takara land speeder completes the set of three Japanese die cast

 

[scott82]

a couple of good TL's. Nice farm boy luke ed.... not seen that figure/card before

 

[palitoyjunky]

Here's the latest additions to my trilogo run, two Luke's on 70c cardbacks. Luke Jedi is fairly common on this cardback, but the farmboy is pretty rare. In fact the person I bought it from who knows his stuff says he has only seen two before. Very happy to add him to my collection.

Nice pick ups Ed, great brown hair Luke original Tri 8)

 

[palitoyjunky]

2 new Palitoy cardbacks arrived today

Nice couple of Palitoy 45a cardbacks Rob :wink: They r two of my favoured debuts 8)

 

[Cazza]

Very nice pick-ups chaps 8) Love the diecast, Spoons. Very smart Teebo there Hooch

Have upgraded a few of my loose figuures recently:

Han Solo, LFB, DSC, Grey Haired Ben, Leia Organa, Leia Bespin.

 

[Lom]

Bit of a tenuous LA post this, but we're planning on moving so had to go in the loft and make space so that we can hide some of the debris in the house up there. Whilst up there I found a couple of bits that I haven't seen for 30+ years (and frankly didn't know I had) and thought I'd also put a picture up of a MOC I bought 3 or 4 months ago that I never got around to posting then.

Chewie / Madine miscard

Unused sticker sheet

Picture of my figures taken in 1983/84

Picture of me playing 'Endor' in 1983/84 complete with random snowspeeder

And finally, did this poster come with the B-wing or something else?

 

[Joe]

Oh Martin, your treasure trove of vintage goodness saved from your childhood just keeps on giving! Fantastic pictures, truly priceless! Hope you get them framed up or displayed with your vintage!

Oh and the poster was packed with various different ROTJ/Trilogo era boxed toys, quite a common one and not vehicle specific.

 

[robpmarsh]

that miscard is just plain odd...who would think of doing that? :lol:

 

[scott82]

nice funds guys.....Ah that classic re- mastered battle of endor with all the snow :lol:

 

[Mr-shifter]

that miscard is just plain odd...who would think of doing that? :lol:

That's what a Wookiee looks like if you shave them.

Just finished off a payment plan for these - some cracking additions to the DSD focus

You might recognise some of these from Jason Millers focus over on RS - it was broken up recently and although I missed out on most of the really good stuff then I was lucky to pick these up - I have also gone from having no DSD baggies to having 4 of them!

4 different types of baggie - need to check the baggie guide
ROTJ 65-A offerless
ROTJ 65-B offerless
ROTJ 65-B w/coin sticker
ROTJ 77-A w/coin sticker on back
ROTJ 77-A w/coin sticker
Various loose figures including a No COO
Danish POTF catalog 65
Various adverts with the DSD
POTF2 Death Star Droid sample/prototype w/Q.A.checkoff card!
Gigantics Mantis model (this was the set that the original prototype DSD bug head came from)

Need to get them all into some nice shiny new cases - and then do a group should - must have about 15 different MOCs now

 

[SOJ]

Really nice Iain, one things for sure you can never be accused of doing things by half measures.

Wow your trilogo luke is awesome :shock:

I've added this beauty to my collection yesterday

What's the SW card mate? A custom?

 

[itfciain]

Yes mate - not seen one of them before but 100% a custom

 

[Richard_H]

I don't pop on here for a few days and I miss some amazing pieces!
Love the ceramic R5, is that from the salt n pepper set with R2?

It certainly is. I've only wanted the R5 so when one appeared at a great price I had to have it. Then got shafted on customs.

 

[scott82]

More great pieces guys..... nice TL Han, and some of those bits you've got in here Ian are the nuts!

 

[Capetown]

Some great additions guys.

It's been more than a year since I have had anything to add to this thread and I count myself extremely lucky to do so now. I spotted this in a lot of 4 mini rigs on a Dutch auction site. Obviously the seller didn't know what she had and neither did any of the other bidders. I felt elated when she accepted my bid for the lot at a fraction of the price these went for a few years ago when prices were 'normal', let alone what it would have fetched with a more knowledgeable seller and bidders now.

So here it is. I had given up hope of ever owning one of these. Needless to say I'm over the moon with it.

And here's the finished run.

 

[scott82]

Brilliant TL mini rig run there mate, really nice pieces.

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

I have never, ever seen a Trilogo MTV-7! or an AST-5 for that matter. The ISP-6 feels more familiar but I can't swear to have seen one. Great find! What's the story behind these? I know they did the POTF line in trilogo boxes and, obviously, the One Man Sail Skiff. So they went backwards and did the last 3 minirigs as well?

 

[Seahawks]

Went to a local toy show yesterday and came home with a few items. Nothing earth shattering, but really good deals to be had. I'm not a diecast collector, but the Star Destroyer was in such good condition and it included the Tantive IV, so had to grab it. Happy to add another moc as well.

 

[edd_jedi]

Amazing MTV-7 Capetown! Would love to own one of these myself one day. Remember when the Uzay ones used to sell for a couple of hundred quid, I bet they don't any more :lol:

 

[Joe]

Ha! I was talking to Peter about that auction! I'm glad it was you that won it Emi! Couldn't have gone to a better collection!

 

[knopie]

Some great additions guys.

neither did any of the other bidders.

I knew, was out of money.
Sorry I made the price go up that fast.
But I glad you have it and not the flipper guy

 

[Capetown]

No worries, Peter. I was counting on the price ticking up anyway.

So, "verzamelaar" is the flipper? The nickname is kind of ironic then (means "collector").
