Latest Acquisitions

[01AB]

My latest... Thanks again to Cocofstar for the Amanaman, the Imperial Dignitary arived today from Tiefighterboy and I have already started repainting his nose as it was lacking paint (as can generally be the case I understand!).
The Boba-Fett and AT-AT driver came from Ebay to replace my previous examples as I wasnt happy with them, really pleased with the Boba (although he was never one of my fave figures), The AT-AT driver though leans annoyingly to one side/forwards, any ideas as to how to fix this?

 

[gustie]

the at-at driver can be made to stand up better,,,

have a pan or similar full of boiling water, i do it on the boil on the hob...

have a pan or sink of cold water to hand too

hold the legs in the water for like 30 seconds, try to keep as much of the torso out of the water as sometimes it can change the finish on them...

then take it out and hold the figures feet and stand it up on a worktop, u can move the feet around for a few seconds to make the body stand upright.

hold it in the pose u want it for a while to make the legs cool down.

then dunk it in cold water to set the pose...

it may take a few times to do ... sometimes in one other may take 2 or 3 times.

[weasel]

Not a bad price at all, although it's hard to tell what condition the box is in.

 

[jaymassive619]

Spoons can only take solace in that he made Gary pay a lot more than he might have done :wink:

Oh to be rich

Nice buys Gary 8)

 

[Jukesy]

Superb run Gary, very nice collection

 

[tiefighterboy]

Hey Pete, You collecting snowspeeder variants now. Most likely the us and canada version. I doubt there is any difference.

 

[Ron]

How many carded figures do you have now gary

 

[sith-smith]

Not sure. Probably over 400

 

[Ron]

******* hell Gary that is some ammount. I only have 64. You must be running out of MOC to collect

 

[Jukesy]

and as soon as hes finished collected Gary is going to give them all away to us guys and start afresh :mrgreen:

So hurry up will you please.

 

[sith-smith]

hmm

That's an idea I guess.

Maybe a trade? My MOC for cash?

That usually works :lol:

 

[Ron]

Whats the next couple of MOC are you after gary

 

[sith-smith]

A tri-logo madine would do nicely.

 

[Ron]

I take it gary thats your main target at the moment how often do they come up for sale. I will just be happy when i got 1 of eeach figure carded on the film they came out on

you planning on doing that on Kenner or palitoy?

 

[Ron]

I was hoping just to get the first 12 on palitoy. Am happy with kenners for the rest

just wondered...

 

[weasel]

I don't think I've ever seen a Tri-logo Madine on Ebay.
Although, I've not been looking.

 

[sith-smith]

There were two the year before last.

Plus one in the vintage classifieds section of RS

needless to say, I missed out on them all :roll:

 

[weasel]

:lol:

What sort of prices were they on at (if you don't mind me asking)?
Graded or not?

 

[sith-smith]

Scarily I have known nice graded ones to go for well over 3K :twisted:
