Latest Acquisitions

Just came in this afternoon, blue painted helmet Fett which I can now finally add to the rest of my mini Fett focus. I love how it's been painted and nobody knows why, really intrigues me, also hard to pick up on camera but it definitely seems like the factory applied it by brush instead of airbrushed

Really nice. Happy you finally got it. Any plans to pick up the meccano/trilogo smooth coo or a ledy?

Cheers mate, it's got slight torso discolouring but at about £100 cheaper than the last one that sold that means i'm happy.

Nah no plans to get any more Fett's now, I don't really go for COO's when the paint looks the same as my other variants, I mainly love just the colour differences instead of the country it came from.

Nice Taiwan Fett SZ. Picked up a dark boots Luke Bespin to go with his Chocolate Boots brother.

Also glad to have finally got a 41 back I have been after for sometime;

This has to be right up there as my favourite Palitoy cardback, I think. Right next to his soulmate on the same cardback. Been after a 41 R2 for a couple of years now but they don't seem to come had. Was within touching distance of one but it was snatched away at the last second!

Nice duffle bag, Carl. How you going to display that?

Taffius, nice little find that

I haven't quite figured that out yet, it is pretty compact once packed away so may fit in the cabinet. It was a steal at 50 quid so couldn't pass it up.

Another nice MOC, glad it arrived safe and sound this time.
I've considered buying from Japan, what are the import/customs/VAT fees like?

Thank you. The import/customs/VAT fees from Japan are incredible... they're free (just ask the seller to value at $25 and mark as 'gift').

That's a beautiful card. Please don't tell me, the 65B is also available with blue GM logo. Then I'll have a lot more work/buys to do. :wink:

That's in really nice shape and the torso isn't to discolored.

The seller and myself take the chance. No insurance, although one seller mentioned that they got it insured under a third party so did not have to value the figure for customs (I don't know how). I also try, if I can, to get them to post the fastest way so it spends as little time in transit as possible.

Also, i my opinion, if there is any damage to the card in transit then no money can replace the damage caused to a vintage piece of history.

All true and valid points, I am just risk adverse!
I know if I took the risk it would ll go so wrong.
Congratulations on another nice MOC and taking the chance.
