So a bit poor of late putting my recents buys up on ere. But a few things I got end of last year ( only just uploaded the pictures of camera!) were these superb Dixie cups! Got the 2x Sw ones and then hunted down the 2 X ESB ones ( thanks to phil. ). Loving em and did a little post up on other page if any one wants to read it to find out what I spent a few hours doing one evening !

I totally get that. I've done the same in the past. Keeps things fresh, but tinged with regrets.

Small addition but finally got weapons for my Fett's - special shout out to my childhood battle worn one at the end, he participated in many many epic battles with Han Solo back in the day including the stairs, kitchen cupboard, back garden and Christmas tree.

 

[Bunglebubs]

Nice group of Fetts there, looks like you have some nice baggies behind them too.

When the world gets me down all I have to do is take look at this thread and I'm smiling again. Top draw purchases.

Here's my first big purchase of 2017.

Poorly listed on eBay, couldn't believe my luck. Collected from the seller today. The bubble is immaculate and card only has minor wear.

 

[Mini99]

That's a great Meccano Ben, looking at that would make me smile all day long.
Here's to being lucky again...never seems to happen to me. :roll:

 

[theforceuk]

Some very nice pieces lately, not that there isn't usually!

Love your Wallesma Mark on the 20 back Palitoy very special.

Nice X-Wing, Meccano Ben is something to behold and the rest is a joy

[Caswellbot]

Hey guys, Its been a long time since I last had an item to limelight but yesterday I was fortunate enough to meet up with Alex Bickmore who came over from the states to hand deliver the latest addition to the run I have been putting together.

It is an ESB Series 2 Bespin Set Trademark Sample set. The set was used internally at Kenner to identify some potential packaging changes for future reference. It has hand written details on the package which denote character's names which may require "Trademarking".

On the reverse of the set, some of the characters have been crossed out. This is to clarify that those particular figures would not be carried on in the next wave of 3 packs. The figures that are not crossed out appear again on the 3rd wave of ESB 3 packs in 1982. (Leia Hoth, Ugnaught, At At Driver)

The employee has written several times "See Notes" but sadly the notes attached to the box have long since disappeared as they were most likely a small piece of paper lightly glued to that back. (Some of the adhesive still remains)

I was amazed to see this set turn up. I knew of its existence for many years after seeing it in Chris Georgoulias's scrapbook pages. (Dated 1999) It was sold back then by Tom Derby at Cloud City and ended up in a collection in Japan not to be seen for 18 years. Ive attached a link to the page in the scrapbook where the set is featured on the far right.

Enough waffle, here t'is..
