Just got this guy from eBay with help from the 10% off voucher. Piss yellow bubble but have always loved this cardback.

Makes me even more gutted my bubble cracked in the post nice card Edd

Yes I was surprised to see yours was a Star Wars MOC, you don't see those early clear bubbles crack often, they are pretty sturdy. I'm pleased this one arrived safely!

I think because there was just brown paper losely packed around the bubble in a star case. When I send now I always create a careful padded protective case around the bubble, pad it evenly all around and double box as standard. It's too risky otherwise.

Nice one Edd.
Question for anyone, was there a case of these found in the last 10 years or so?
The reason for asking is that the one that I have is exactly the same, absolutely mint card and bubble but very yellow. I've also seen others since I bought mine that are in as good condition.
Just interested.

That's great, I thought that I had seen all the Sigma items, but I never seen one of those.
Imagine having one as a kid, amazing.

Cricky Stuart you've been very busy!
Lovely pair of Jawas, even with the shaved POP that 12 back displays really well.

Nice colours on your Vader!

Just picked up this really nice Official SW Fan Club keychain circa 1978. I plan on using it for my car keys once I figure out a way to protect it to keep the acrylic from getting scratched up. Any ideas?

My latest acquisition is this Swedish ESB advert

Was this off Facebook? I missed it by a few minutes, great looking advert and wasn't it said on the thread that this is the only known advert for Star Wars from Sweden to exist? Or have I made that up

 

[Gadders]

Hi Stuart

yes it was, and yes the seller did say that.

I've asked some Swedish collectors in the Vintage Star Wars Paperwork and Instructions group on FB for clarification on this and this is apparently the only ad for figures in magazines. However.. in Swedish toy catalogues, sweepstake forms and distributor catalogues there are a few more. And also some in local newspapers, which are harder to obtain.

Interesting. Great item mate, love that image

The headline is "what's happening in Star Wars?"

After we covered Presto Magix on the podcast I had to
get some, chanced upon the counter display as well.
Display has some edge ware but love the artwork on it.

Love this Stuart! I just started picking up ROTJ Prestomagix

Finally able to acquire a ROTJ Tsukuda catalog for my run. Got it on eBay for just over a $100 shipped. Condition is a little rough, but I'm not huge on having things in pristine condition anyway.

Great pick up Chris - loving those images in there, great item.

Note to self - you do not need to collect toy catalogues, you do not need to collect toy catalogues, you do now need.......

I really need to go through these posts and marvel at the wonder that is the LA thread.
First of all I'd like to take the opportunity to post this little photo of an opened carded Luke X-Wing that Michael Sith Smith kindly sent to me in Afghanistan. It arrived the day before I flew home on R&R. Michael thanks a million, top stuff!

Love this, do you know if Kim simmons took the photo's?

To go with my Tsukuda catalog, I picked up a Tsukuda Gamorrean Guard. This has been a tough one to track down, especially in this condition. I've only got Darth Vader to go. Not looking forward to paying up for that one. Hoping to maybe find one at Celebration Chicago
