Cheers Emiel - they are mostly ungraded just in acrylic. I wouldn't trust them bubble to bubble

Awesome Land of the Jawas! One of the things I have absolutely no recollection of from when I was a kid.

After a lengthy delay in customs my die cast bin has finally showed up, distinctly scruffy compared to the recent LAs here but it means I now have a way to display my headers. Frst pic is with the issue 1 header.

:shock: :shock:

I've also added a second pic with it full of die cast (and acrylic) just for the nostalgia kick. That's with the 2nd issue header (creased but rare).

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Wow! Just wow!

Amazing piece Nick. Do you know if it's a miscard or a mock up?

 

[roundster]

Amazing pick ups Nick, that jawa/ob1 miscard is unbelievable! love the canadian Falcon too!

Edd that Speeder bike is beautiful!

 

[Nick_IoW]

Amazing piece Nick. Do you know if it's a miscard or a mock up?

To be honest I'm the last person who would know that kind of stuff. I had assumed it's a miscard but a couple of people have now asked if its a mock up. Cool either way

 

[theforceuk]

Cracking miscard/mock up, you've certainly got an eye for mint items Edd that Speeder Bike is a cracker.

Nice Falcon and AT-ST as well. :shock:

One thing's for sure, this thread makes Facebook look ****. 8)

Apologies for the long post but I unexpectedly have another LA. There is an auction house 10 minutes walk up the road from my work, which I occasionally have a look in and the odd bid. Last Thursday they had quite a bit of vintage, action man and Space 1999 blue prints so I thought I'd take a look.

The online auction showed these two monstrosities with a die cast falcon so I planned on bidding £5 as the falcon was complete but dirty, and worth a shot.



Next to the Ep 1 horrors was this box of ROTJ Marvel comics, which I hadn't seen on line. Thought there must be at least 40 so planned on bidding £20. I've been working my way through SW Weekly, ESB monthly and now its time for ROTJ. When i got back to my work I couldn't find the comics on line and realised that there were part of the same lot as the Ep1 and Falcon. This was clear if I'd bothered reading the Ep 1 description but who would? Described as collection of comics and books



Anyway I won the lot for £25 including fees and brought it home today. Totally stoked to find Nos 1-100 clean and tidy ROTJ comics. Would have paid at least £1 a copy over the next year or so as I work my way through these.

When I sorted through I found all kinds of gems. A lot of the comic free gifts were included - letrasets, posters and booklets



Also a couple of sticker albums and ROTJ books



This brilliant Toy and Hobby poster - Don't think I've seen one of these before but I do have the version with the blank square issued to stores.



And my absolute favourite, a completed but never sent Bounty hunter sheet.





Andrew Jackson of Merseyside are you out there?

 

[kieatky]

Wow that 'Toy & Hobby' poster is awesome, never even knew they'd made one (learn something new every day). Used to love walking around Toy & Hobby when I was a kid

 

[peekaygee73]

Loving that Bounty Hunter leaflet with the name plates in!

 

[Darth Bobby]

Few more bits added to the collection.

A really tall vinyl cape jawa.

Ha ha, that's great, I wondered what they looked like under the cape!

 

[Mini99]

Is it just me...but I find the completed bounty hunter form quite sad.
I wonder what the story was there, why wasn't it sent in?
A truly amazing piece of Star Wars nostalgia!

 

[Grant_C]

Looks like he was going for all 3 offers.

 

[Mini99]
