50p A-Wing Pilot!!!, wow well done that's a great little find.

 

[TK-7785]

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!

Fantastic score! That really does remind me of car boot sale find from years ago. Good to know those finds are still out there.

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!

Great story and I've learned something there. I'll be looking out for one now :mrgreen:

some absolutely cracking buys lately. Tigs haul is amazing, but I'm most impressed by how the Power Droid tunred out. It looks great.

Congrats to Roundster on his first steps on a slippery slope and thanks as ever to Carl for plugging the website!

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Outstanding purchases guys! I get more of a thrill reading about bargains in unlikely places than I do buying stuff from regular places for myself! 50p A-Wing Pilot is one of the best finds since about 1995, surely?!

 

[Tomasfuria]

Thank you for your comments! Still can´t beleive that! 50 Pences is a really unexpected gift!.xddd

My conclusion is: Lots of figures still out there! in the wild..so Happy hunting!!

Tom.

Star Wars = $$$$$$$

Or does it?

I paid £6.50 for this beauty :mrgreen:

 

[Mini99]

That makes that loose A wing pilot for 50p seem expensive. :?
Very well done with that one!
eBay?

Bargain 8)

 

[Richard_H]

Thanks guys I never thought I'd own a 3 pack

 

[spoons]

Absolutely gorgeous three pack Rich, looks amazing!

Here's my latest, I'd never seen one of these until recently but apparently not that rare in Canada. The 47 back Canadian Han Hoth, a few issues but I love it :mrgreen:

 

[poncho]

lovely han hoth andy

lovely han hoth andy

Cheers Chris, really hard to add any Han Hoths to the collection so I'm always extra pleased when a new one turns up

 

[coomber75]

love that han card one of my fave fronts!! awesome droids pick up too

 

[AndyPreston]

I've just received this, so excited to own what is now one of the centrepieces in my collection. It's the British Pye soundtrack LP store display, with attached (empty) record sleeve. I love it for so many reasons - it's a really rare example of one of the earliest British store displays, a great representation of the Chantrell artwork, and so unusual to have the product as part of the display. Really, really made up with this piece.
