Although I didn't make celebration I received a little taste of it today.
Through a trade I did on Facebook with a chap called Todd Iganti, he got me this Ledi Cardback and he also threw in a Kenner ad slick for the collectors case. Todd reliably informed me these were issued to toy stores for them to use catalogues etc.
Thanks to Jason Smith and Ben for getting these back to me.
Thanks to Ben also for sorting my wardrobe for the next 6 months. Gonna wear this thing to death.

Ha! No mate. Not buying. Honestly. Well, a little. Just can't help myself.
Cheers Stormcab. I'm pleased with him but wouldn't have bothered if I'd had a nice one already, either.
My battered 33 yrs old Biker scout has just photo bombed my new acquisition probably well jealous at the shiny armour of his new friend. First Biker scout on card i've handled since that day in Woolworths, Aberystwyth when i bought him originally. I clearly remember choosing between Biker scout or AT-ST driver from the ROTJ carded rack that day. BS won that battle.
Simon, lovely Palitoy Imp Commander. Love that figure as well- always seems to go under the radar. Nice Stormie as well.
Rob, another cool Leia pick up - not seen that before.
Rhyfelyser, cool Biker Scout- the moc's not bad either
Gotta love childhood figures- that's what it's all about 8)

Car boot mini haul 
£12 the lot. Luke is as close to mint as I'll find. He was £1 from one stall and the rest was £11 from another. Annoyingly I was second to the stall. Another guy bought two Tuskens with capes, Luke FB, Chewie, Gam Guard and another two or three figures. For £12. Doh. Still happy with this lot. Can't beat the buzz of finding vintage at car boots! It was her brother's stuff and all that was left after he mother threatened to chuck it. Brother doesn't know, poor guy.

You're absolutely right, Edd. I bet not even half, probably not a quarter of what still exists in the U.K. is available for trade. This stuff is everywhere, it just doesn't come up as often as we'd like

I must do one of my big catch ups soon, but i'm conscious that I haven't added anything myself for months, and i'm excited to say that Celebration changed that 
The first piece that i found was this Die Cast X-Wing which i thought would fit in my collection nicely and was a good price. Exciting to get something vintage again.
On the same stall i saw a few more Oddball Party items which will compliment what i already have really nicely.
Then I went to the room sales and saw this little beauty. I now have 2 Die Casts! She's a little bit rough and her POP has been removed from the rear but I thought it was a good prices and it's always fun to buy at the room sales
I probably had the least time to go swag collecting as i was pretty much confined to my Running Stormtrooper table but this is a group shot of what i managed to get.
However i'd like to bring your attention to this little beaut. I was chatting to a man at my stall for a while about Make A Wish and the military etc. After about 10 minutes he moved on, but not before reaching into his inner pocket and giving me this coin. He went on to say 'You now own a piece of the Space Shuttle Atlantis' he went on to explain that this coin has been forged out of a component that was only ever used once and has been made in a limited run and has the names of the flight crew imprinted on it. He said it was now mine. I couldn't believe it! Christ knows what its' made of, it's as light as a feather.
My final item also blew my mind and left me speechless. On the last day I had just completed my last half marathon and went off for a shower. When I returned to my booth/table the lads told me to tidy up and that there was something for me on the table. It all happened in a blur so I hope I have acknowledged everyone but the lads were: Grant, Richard, Daz, Commander Clint and an awesome chap by the name of Lee Harris. To my delight I quickly realised that they had bought The Running Stormtrooper his first ever 12" figure and it was of course, a Stormtrooper! He's awesome! Thank you so much:

Jez,
Funny, I was looking at the swag picture and that "coin" really caught my eye, the other swag is nice, but wow a piece of the space shuttle... :shock:
Whats the story on the marshal button?
As for the storm trooper, words fail me, what great friends

What a lovely gesture by a bunch of top chaps. Nice one fellas. And congrats Jez on your first 12" figures. No one forgets their first 12 inches
I'm not into customising vintage but if you don't make a little runner number for him I'm going to be most displeased!

Sorry, only just seen this - you're very welcome mate.Hooch said:I have said it before and will say it again, best thread by far and my 1st go to everyday. From Trilogos, loose figs right down to cardbacks with cats drawn on them :lol:
Always good to get mail and yesterday was a great one. A huge shout out to Carl ( lejackal ) who has been gathering bits for me in the UK so I could save on postage for the trip down under. Not only has he been doing me a huge favour he went and tossed in a pop up book for nothing without my knowing, one that I had as a child and has now brought back so many good memories. Thanks again Carl

I picked up a very nice set of Wonder Bread cards not too long ago, but wasn't sure how to display them. After doing a bit of searching around, I found this really cool frame on sale and am "chuffed" (I'm slowly learning how you Brits talk ) with how it turned out.
