Great achievement Seahawks,
I wouldn't let the missing POP detract from an amazing MOC.
Who looks at the back of the card anyway!

Sweet Fett!, I love how it's still sealed yet there's an access hole to put your finger in and actually feel him if you wanted to, mmmm...... :?

Hmmm. This comment and your 'man-whore' eBay search. I am starting to wonder Richard! :lol:

My "May the 4th" acquisition arrived today!

After starting the journey almost 2 decades ago, my mostly "budget" first 20 is now complete at 21! I had honestly resigned myself to the fact that a 21 Back Fett wasn't going to happen in this lifetime! The card and bubble are in pretty nice shape and Mr. Fett does a great job of hiding the fact that the POP is cut out. Unfortunately, the tape that holds the rifle to the side of the bubble came loose during shipping, but at least it arrived in one piece from the post office.

Just received my first die cast Mocs!

The x wing was from eBay via Iain and the tie was direct from Iain himself!

Love them both and the acrylic cases make them look ace!

Possibly the cheapest way to get a sealed 12 back with the tie and love the ESB card for the X Wing!! So much stuff crammed on the back of the card!

I've never really paid that much attention to the die cast range before until now. I really like them, especially the X-Wing and the way they display on their cardbacks. Some great MOC's there. my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Carl, really appreciate the info link. Interesting and great pieces. So did the diecast range not go further than the ESB MOC's?

That was it as far as I know, the website belongs to Andrew Norton, Spoons on here. He's the expert

Ah ok. Thanks again for your help.

Spoons is the man when it comes to diecast!!

Carfull viewing his site though, might end up spending a few hundred pound shortly after!!

[Great Fett my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Great looking Fett Seahawks and congratulations on finishing your 21 run, a real achievement. The tape on a lot of the Boba Fetts seem to come loose for some reason, it's probably due to the fact that the figure moves about so much due to the rocket backpack. I wouldn't let it spoil the enjoyment of it though as it's a stunning piece for sure.

Thanks so much fellas! I'm honestly still in shock that I actually own a Fett MOC! I'm totally fine with the POP missing and like Mini mentioned, who the heck looks at the back of it anyway! Plus, it helped lower the "Fett Tax" a bit, so was a bit easier on the 'ol pocket book. And thanks to subzero, I will never look at a missing POP the same again! LOL!!

Those Diecast MOCs look awesome, especially in that acrylic! Congrats!

Ah, thank you Nick. That's the same one that Carl sent me the link to. I thought when you mentioned about spending there were MOC's for sale on there but it's information only site. Still, very good site and some great pieces on there. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks to amazing generosity from a fellow collector in my period of not spending I've managed to acquire a 47back to join my other ESB carded R5s

Lovely Rich, you're doing well for someone who only collects loose!

Nice! Congratulations Richard. I think it's time to take that loose collector label you've been wearing, wad it up and throw it in the trash.

 

[coomber75]

nice fett, and lovely die cast!!! am completely hooked on die cast now... need a couple more but difficult to find... tye hunt goes on for a boxed y wing, carded cloud car and snowspeeder but think the tie bomber may be my version of a 21 back fett!!

 

[Tomasfuria]

My latest acquisition was this stunning A-wing pilot!... The best at all is what I paid for it:

It was last Saturday, I went for a walk around the charity shops looking for some books. Then I saw a box with lots of figures and then...I spot it!! I ´ve asked how much..then, I could not believe my ears when the girl said 50Pences!!!!!

Enjoy lads!

 

[Cardbackkid]

Great score on the A wing pilot ! Reminds me of the old car boot days

 

[TK-7785]

Sometimes you find the goods in the most unlikely places, like this 1977 Scandecor licenced poster at a 1940s themed country fair this weekend. Not in the best of nick, but for £7 I'll take it. I believe these can go for over £150-£200 in mint condition. And I kinda like that it tells a story, with the tape and blu-tac damage I can imagine it taking pride of place on some kid's bedroom from '77 into the 80s. I've done some light, sympathetic restoration taping up the edge tears and I'm going to find a decent frame to display it. It's got bags of character!
