Thanks Andy, really pleased, will add to my Star Wars 20/21 back run a treat.
Did you have a good time on Sunday?
Did speak to a few people to make contacts, but very difficult when I have no idea what anyone looks like, all I know is names.
Don't really know how to change this for the next ff, any ideas anyone

Nick, yeah it was good. I know what you mean- name badges would solve the problem, but I'm not sure everyone would want to wear one :lol: You'd need your forum name + your real name. It's difficult for noobs- gonna try to make it to the Saturday night next time.

Yeah just come down for the sat night and alcohol will take care of the rest

 

[Mini99]

Yes I think that you are both right, going along on the Saturday night is the only way that I see to get round this, but this is difficult for me, as I normally end up working Saturdays
I think name badges would be like going back to school :shock: and I suspect would have a bit of opposition, but like you could not think of any other way.
It is a little intimidating as a ff virgin, but I supose the only way is the baptism of fire, of the Sat night. :lol:
Hopefully will be at the next one in August, as this was the best fair that I have been to since the early 90's,such a great choice of quality vintage, so much better than the internet, but is a long way to travel!
Hopefully see you then.

Tis a good day. Been waiting since early February for some of these. Bought the Canadian 8D8 & Nikto from someone in Canada and had them sent to Iain. The Nikto worked out around £41 & 8D8 £49. They are in great condition. Reckon the Nikto would get an easy 80 grade, and 8D8 a 75. Just dig the French writing on the front. I had a few hundred dollars sitting in my Paypal account from photos I sell on online stock libraries, so told Iain to hang tight until I find something over in the US I could blow it on. This 41 Back Pali Han Hoth came up for a buy it now price, which was about in line with recent Vectis sales. I however put in an offer of 10% of asking and he accepted. Paying in dollars with no conversion loss meant it was a top buy.

All 3 arrived today, and with recent purchase of large acrylic cases landing for my Tri AT-AT Driver and PBP ERG, I'm walking about with a massive grin. Also got out my recent 20 back Pali LXW so I can take hi-res photos of everything new.

41-Back Pali Lobot

 

[chipsteak]

From RS McColl!

That's a Glaswegian Lobot.

 

[stormcab]

From RS McColl!

That's a Glaswegian Lobot.

Thought I'd have a look at who the actor was on IMDB. I'm guessing this has come up before, but I didn't know this - he is listed as "Lando's aide" not Lobot.

 

[chipsteak]

For avoidance of any doubt I was referring to the RS McColl price sticker. They are a chain of Glasgow newsagents.

 

[Dublinjeff]

Great card Rob....

 

[palitoyjunky]

Some real nice pick ups guys 8)

Here r my two latest pic ups;

 

[palitoyjunky]

The Ben came from Simon at FF and have to say it was one of the best condition MOCs at the show so many thanks mate

The Fett came from a decent fellow collector. Yes I am primarily a Palitoy collector as u guys know BUT I always regretted letting my 21 Fett go many years ago so am well chuffed to get this near perfect unpunched price sticker free example back :wink:
A Fett on a SW card 8) 8)

 

[stormcab]

Cor blimey Charlie, that Fett!

 

[Andyclarke]

Beautiful Fett :shock:. That's a gem alright Jon.

That Ben was previously mine and a corker, It'll go nicely with that Stormtrooper you had off me.

 

[palitoyjunky]

U know I was thinking exactly the same thing Andy :wink:

Thanks mate.

 

[Andyclarke]

U know I was thinking exactly the same thing Andy :wink:

Thanks mate.

Haha I smell a potential new run!!

 

[palitoyjunky]

Ha :!: Well I nearly bought a Jedi Jawa via FB yesterday. Card was immaculate but the bubble had damage which stopped me. Yeh on the look out for a few SW characters on Empire or Jedi cards including Tri-logo but no strict focus run.

 

[Palifan]

Wow and wow Jon! The Fett really is stunning for such an early piece and massive congrats on bagging the pair.
