Latest Acquisitions

[steve obi wan]

So, I'm feeling a little emotional right now

This lovely Greedo arrived today and it means my run of the 1st 21 MOC is now complete !! They are a mix of graded , ungraded, minty to beaten and I love each and every one of them !

This collection started almost by accident - I joined here around 2 years ago and was happily collecting random ROTJ MOCs of my favourite figures when very early one Sunday morning Iain put up a beater Kenobi 12 back for the price of ......... £50 and I was lucky enough to snap it up.

Once it arrived and I saw the card and the ANH logo, I kind of fell in love and at the same time out of love with my ROTJ MOCs. Theres just something about the original logo. So slowly I began my first focus since starting this collecting game late. Probably my biggest "steal" was the Fett which I got for just under £700 (it had went for a lot more on an earlier vectis auction) I never thought he would be achievable in my budget.

Theres lots of people who have helped me on the way, including Iain, I think my R2D2 was from Ross but a special mention to Steve Obi Wan who lives about 5 miles down the road from me and basically sold me a few of these as he went on a lovely Palitoy 12 back run. The man literally robbed me of cash for the last year and a half or so! :lol:

I now need to go display cabinet shopping asap but then what ?????????? (My wife thinks Ive finished 8) )

Thanks to everyone who has sold to me and bought from me on here.

Big Love !

Nicky

Congrats Nicky ! Always a pleasure , don't forget to let me know your new focus my funds are a little low lol !! :lol: :lol:

Huge congratulations on that achievement Nicky.
They look fantastic together, I been tempted in the past to go down the SW 12/21 route, but the expense scares me.
I know what you mean when comparing these to the Jedi ones... :wink:
