Thanks mate. Never noticed him before. Seen Rotj about 50 times. He is an ugly figure though :lol:

 

[subzero]

here's my latest buy, a set of 5 afa graded figures off ebay:

i'm very happy with them, the esb 32 back r2-d2 is an afa 90 and i reckon is worth a good chunk of what i paid for all 5!

Haha just thought this needed a mention, iv'e just been looking back at the very first acquisitions in this thread in 2006 and spotted this one, I can't believe those 5 graded MOC's were £500. :shock:

I know, it's ridiculous how much things have changed! Back then I would pick up most MOCs for under £50, and really pushed the boat out on ones costing over £100 which I only had a few of.

Perspective and hindsight is a great thing, most for under £50 that makes me feel a little sad, imagine the collections that could be built up on what's basically a budget relative to today's prices.

And now ....Mr Fett Kenner 21 back to add to the mixed Kenner/Pali 20/21 back start of a run ( I will be a while collecting these)

Mr Fett has a replacement bubble but this is fine for me as the card has a large tear as well, but has been sympathetically treated and I think displays superbly for me. Massive thanks to Ian for letting the card go to me & Chris for a minty Mr Fett

Love this hobby

Awesome fett mate

[Seahawks]

Once again, your latest acquisitions are fantastic guys! You just never know what to expect on this thread. So cool!

 

[Seahawks]

These just arrived today. A compete set of the SW Series Dixie Cups boxes. I've been eyeballing these for a few years but never pulled the trigger. A buddy of mine decided to sell his set so I jumped at it. The artwork on these is so cool.

 

[MrGudz]

Very nice set there Seahawks.

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Beautiful. Agree the artwork on those Dixie Cup boxes is awesome. They'll look ace on display.

 

[subzero]

Those boxes are well nice, the colours and style remind me of the vintage original SW arcade cabinet.

Beautiful set Seahawks, lovely artwork and nice addition to your collection 8)

Great collection to pick up Jason.

I remember going to an antiques fair in Portland a few years back and One lady on a small stall had loads of these all mint and boxed up. I think they were mainly ESB but when you see the artwork on the boxes they are so tempting. I ended up with a sealed Bespin Freezing Chamber she had but she said she collected all the SW stuff when it was released and has had it all in storage for years. I never did get back there again to see what else she had but it was just nice to see all the mint items she had and those Dixie Cups have always been something I felt I should have picked up as well.

You made the right choice getting them when you could though so thanks for sharing.

Picked up 36 of these double sided posters Sunday at a local flea market. I also got 17 gremlins posters for about a $1 each.

Thanks for all the great responses fellas! I totally agree that the artwork is stunning and really jumps out at ya. Good call subzero, it does have a similar look to the arcade cabinet especially with the blue. As I said, I was lucky to get them all at once vs. having to track them down each individually. That is the main reason I had held off (plus every time I try to narrow my focus, it ends up just getting broader).

What a find Ian. You got a sealed Bespin Freezing Chamber!! What a find. I would have passed on the cups too if I was in your shoes as those hardly ever come up. I know it was a few years ago, but congrats man!

Poncho, your custom Leia is incredible! Great job man!! I love it.

Good pick-ups all round, guys! Love that Clipper Rebel Commando, nice Jedi posters and that custom Leia is fab, Ponch 8)

Very nice, Chris. I just missed out on a Kenner 77 back Clipper at Vectis last month.

Got my 2 "new" Scouts - so nicely designed!

Quality picture and lighting mate. Could have been used for box art.

For a second I thought "how did I miss that?!"

Thanks. Yeah, I know who got it. I decided not to bid because I picked this up the day before Vectis.
