Latest Acquisitions

[PulsarP]

I've deliberately avoided this page for the last 10 days because it would just tempt me to go out and find something when I should be doing the reverse.

Having now looked at the last few pages I have had a revelation: I get as much pleasure from seeing other people's purchases as making my own. I guess that's because a lot of stuff here isn't stuff I'd buy myself but stuff that I had never seen before or would want but want other things more, if you see what I mean?

Paul: great bottle caps. They're on my want list but I will take the lazy way and (when buying again) wait for a full set. They look cool. Subtle plug for Sheffield Wednesday in your photo, too

I know what you mean Simon regarding other people's purchases and collections, I've said exactly the same myself.

As for the bottle caps, I've owned only 3 for the last decade which were part of another toy lot but had to snag these. Now I'm after the excellent bottle top display to justify showing these, plus I reckon it'll make it easier knowing which ones I need..... hopefully :roll:

As for the Wednesday reference? Not sure what's in the pic so will have to check that out as quickly took the caps photo in my not too tidy shop.

Ah it's only a receipt for our tickets away to Reading, Simon. I was gonna meet you down there remember :wink:
No sensitive details are showing luckily :roll:


As I have missed out on a nice item this week I had some spare funds so needed a SW fix.
I have a nice collection of Clarks which I'm struggling to add to so purchased these unused Stride Rites.

Also pleased to snag this unused particular droid, been after one for years but most I've seen have been used and poor.
This looks a little off colour in the pic but he is minty, box isn't mint but in decent shape.

Carl: Nice Diecast, mate. I got one away from finishing the set but never got them on display. Shame as they make great looking pieces dotted around on shelves.

Cheers Si, you'll be able to get yours out now mate with your upcoming clear out 8)

Great beater there Poncho. I have been tempted to try this route, but for the same reason I haven't bought some boxed vehicles, we live in a small place, so am trying to keep my collection small but impressive.

Scruffy - I can empathize with this. There are very few items I am actually after, but it's interesting seeing all the random stuff appear on here. There was a point last year where I wondered "am I desperate to buy this piece for me, or to show off on LA page?". That's certainly what is happening on FB. People spending many thousands for short spell on FB with "big shout out to xxxxxx for this awesome piece. Never thought I'd own one".

[ScruffyLookingNH]

For anyone that thought they may have seen the last of me on these pages.....surprise

I've been looking for a Palitoy Droid Factory for a while now. They are elusive complete, let alone with the R2. When this one showed up it was too good an opportunity to miss, regardless of the fact I'm meant to be raising money not spending it. And the othe rPalitoy playsets were never going to be for sale, so not completing the line up when given the chance would have been rude.

And the complete line up:

Quality over quantity is not a bad thing though, especially if your quality of life and finances improves too!
