Latest Acquisitions

[Richard_H]

Super stoked to end a 4 year wait for one of these in the condition and price I was willing to pay. Many thanks to Mark A Baker for going above and beyond in his assistance for getting this to me and the Jabba's Court scented freshener in aid of Jez Allinson make a wish.

Awesome Tie Bomber, only ever had one years ago and doubt I'll ever have one again .

Here's my latest arrival from across the pond, lovely unused B-Wing fighter (chuffed I've finally managed to get one with the battle sound still working)

 

[SublevelStudios]

Massive congrats on getting that Bomber Rich, always good to hear when collectors finally get hold of something they've been hunting for ages

I don't collect any of the Jedi range but there are several pieces that I would consider owning, the B-Wing is one of them and that is a cracker.

Cheeky little addition for me - I have some really nice cards sat with Neil right now but spotted this one on eBay at a decent BIN price

Ledy Yoda - MIM on ROTJ

 

[Robstyley]

It's raining yodas :shock: 8)

Great buys everyone, those baggies look fantastic in the case Pat

Andy, welll done on all your buys but this made me laugh - read an airbrushing thread recently and now all I can see is Ben's airbrushed gimp hand :lol:

Latest couple of additions. The Ben card has a slit bubble and I've put a Ben in it, whole thing £34! The Luke was from Cazza, my first Empire card

I just love that revised photo of Ben. Hood up in true Jedi style, correct colour lightsaber in hand, what more could anyone ask 8) 8)

I never even noticed that! It looks like a prosthetic hand :? :lol:

 

[coomber75]

ahhh tuat tie bomber a thing of beauty congrats mate.... im thinking I may never own one

 

[subzero]

Another!!! Yoda haha.

Is that 5 Yoda's now in one week? :lol:

 

[Cardbackkid]

Some great pick ups lately guys especially like the die cast tie bomber always wanted one of those , picked myself up a 12" fett although he's complete naked but should keep me busy for a while tracking down the accessories

 

[Bunglebubs]

I have finally finished this 'Imperial' Woolies 8-Pack, complete with 100% Palitoy baggies. Been a bigger challenge than expected, no thanks to that bloody baggie scammer we all know about, but finally I have managed to complete it with legitimate baggies. Big thanks to Frank (and many others) for helping me get the correct baggies. Also, found another use for the Early Bird case from GW Acrylic. Works out perfectly for display.

Cheers,
Pat

Wow that is really cool, always wanted to get a woolies pack myself. I bet you are super happy with completing that and it looks really good displayed like that.

Another trilogo added to the collection, from Stuart at Hothiceplanet, highly recommended seller.

I really love trilogo's

 

[lejackal]

This forum is full of great people, many of whom have helped me out with information, additions to my ever changing collection and generally just being....well...great.
I have made some fantastic friends during my time here and the guy that sent me this out of the blue is one of them.

So ScruffylookingNH aka Simon "the butcher" McOwen, thank you, for this and generally always being there to listen to me chat rubbish about this wonderful hobby that we all share.
And yes, I know there's an autograph section but let's be honest, Edd won't mind, Emile is easy going, Andy and Weasel won't read this and Joe collects Ghostbusters or something (plus is enjoying retirement) :lol:

 

[Michael Sith]

Love this thread, some fantastic pick ups great to see 8)

As people will know I like a project, and do like to rescue as well

So a foray into ebay ( very unusual for me!!)
Have to say the seller was great and I bargained a little too, the pieces arrived today and we're ABSOLOUTELY bombproofed packed, no way there was going to be further damage.

So...

C3PO Pali ( maybe Toltoys :lol: ) 45 back, the bubble was originally upside down which is easy to see this was the case with the number imprint.
Going to have fun with this one getting it together for display... £23 including post

Next up

LXW Pali41 back
Came with name plate cut out and incorrect ( but kosher) blaster
Again I have some ideas ( i.e. Place a print of the nameplate behind the MoC for display) need a blaster for him. £22 all in

Finally ATAT driver Pali 41 back same again with nameplate and no rifle..so I need one of those as well £23

Going to have some fun with these.
Need the smuggler blaster and ATAT driver rifle if anyone has them? Drop me a PM

 

[stormcab]

Loving the boxed Y-Wing & B-Wing. Clean with no stickers is bloody nice.

 

[Palifan]

Great to see the 3 figures arrived with no problems Mike, they look great and looking forward to seeing the resealed update!

Thanks Scott, wasn't really supposed to buy anything else but this popped up at a price you'd be daft to say no to

 

[Cazza]

[coomber75]

[Mini99]

That's a great selection, and most in very good condition.
Well done on winning them.

 

[coomber75]

And this fella

 

[kieatky]

Great pic ups as usual from everyone . Here's a couple of items I've never had in the past, but they do fit in nicely to my ROTJ only collection. Just missing the figures from the Green set, I'm sure they'll be easy to come by :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[Dorsetmark]

Loads of really nice stuff again guys

 

[Clarkspie&chips]

Another wonderful Farthest From, big thanks again to Dave Tree.
It's been a very lean year for me but today I picked up my first 12 back and they don't come much more iconic than this. Thanks to Nick for doing such a great deal on it

I also picked up this VHS display from Mark Daniels, I've always wanted an empire store display but never managed to bag the classic big logo hanger. I think this is even cooler though
