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.

Really great piece of advertising art work.
I assume that the record was an LP, if so that display is massive!

Thanks guys,

Mini, yes it is an LP, the display measures something like 30" x 40"

 

[Mini99]

Brilliant, what are your plans for it, if you have any?

 

[AndyPreston]

I'll display it, eventually - need to wait for one of the kids to leave home first so a room becomes free!

Very happy with this chap, very mint Hoth Rebel Soldier to add to my army. Think this would go in the uncracked limb bracket of Facebook, it really is a cracker and for a very sensible eBay price.

 

[Ruby2511]

He is a bloody cracker, nice when you drop onto great piece 8)

I'm confused, how can it be a cracker when it's uncracked? :? :lol:

Real nice figure there, can't beat a good card fresh figure.

Incomplete falcon and scout walker, both very clean and no yellowing at all. Meh you say, but I got them for my three year old to play with and I'm well pleased with them. Meh you say again, but the price I got the pair for was a daft £5.50 off eBay, so fifteen quid posted. The listing ended at 6am on a Saturday morning and I got lucky!

 

[r5-d4cus]

Oops forgot pics.

Think its around 5 years This place kicked off my Jawa habit. Met a lot of wonderful (and weird) people along the way.

One of the pieces I have spent those 5 years looking for made it into my possession today.

12bk Meccano Jawa - about 60% sealed. Rarer than the Meccano VCJ - so very happy to chalk this one off.

Looking forwards to many more years

 

[Ruby2511]

Lovely MOC 8)

Anybody would be proud to have that in their collection

 

[apack7229]

Got these in today. Got damaged on a corner in shipping and the seller was a douche but they're neat nonetheless.

A very rare item indeed.
Congratulations and well done in adding this to your Jawa collection.

TK, those MOCs are fab! Bubbles are superb and gotta love an ESB AT-AT Driver 8)

Nick, that Jawa is incredible :shock: 8)

Apack, those Valentine's cards are really cool- never seen them before.

A great Tri of MOCs Chris.
The biker Scout and an AT driver are amongst my favourite figure/cardback combinations.
Congratulations

How random are those cards!
Star Wars and Valentine's Day :?
Such a shame about the damage, but they still display great.

 

[apack7229]

Thanks. At least they're still sealed but they are a weird set.

Holy cow - what an amazing piece. Congrats!

I've just had a really close read of the boxes, these are for school kids, right?
Did/ do you really take Valentines cards in to school for class mates and teachers???
They get weirder by the minute!

We give them out to the whole class and sometimes the teachers. Not just people we like. We also make boxes to put the valentines in. I'll take the weirder part but I'll have to make sure not to give you one otherwise you might think differently of me. :lol:
