Nice haul there Rich. Vectis?
MPC focus coming on. :wink:

The auction wasn't vectis it was a local auction house in Newcastle that I had never heard of before last week!

 

[MrGudz]

Some great acquisitions people. Love those Landspeeders.

 

[theforceuk]

Wow! Great Land Speeders, they look darker brown than normal. Or is it just the photo?

stunning... have thought about getting a couple of these mailers but how to display tyem..

 

[Plastikheld]

Never heard of DieCast Mailers (shame on me) ... those are great. Good catch!

Don't post much here anymore, I guess it's because everything has become so expensive. I do pop in every day though and check out this thread. It's still awesome, always will be.

Little birthday gifts. I'm collecting Episode 1 memorabilia so if you have any junk you don't want, let me know.

A recent visit to a Budapest 'Geek Fair' rewarded me with a Hungarian Return Of The Jedi storybook, the Hungarian TESB comic adaptation and the tanning salon variant of the Rebel Hoth Trooper. Not much vintage there but a lot of fans who wanted to share stories. No Hungarian bootlegs though. Apparently Hungary was cleared out of them by overseas collectors a few years ago.

 

[Grant_C]

That storybook is amazeballs.

Some great pick up guys.

This arrived this morning to add to my mini R2 focus. Canadian R2 Sensorscope MOC. I will want to upgrade eventually to a near clear bubble (if anyone can help) but the bubble is perfect apart from that, as is the rest...

Nice R2 Ham, it appears you and I like the same thing! :wink: 8)
I have recently bought one of these and my bubble is yellowing too.
I have been informed by a few collectors that this is unfortunately how they are.
I've never seen a clear one yet, but never say never, keep looking and food luck!

Thanks Nick and yes, appears so, lol. Maybe we can exchange some day. :wink:
I didn't realise that about the yellow bubbles as I saw one sold recently on eBay although the bubble was crushed and the card wasn't great but goes to show they do exist clear.

 

[spoons]

Not from the market, but managed to find a copy of this. One of my favourite books on vintage figures.

That is a great book - congrats on finding one!

Happy to help and two great pieces there 8)

Loads of lovely Palitoys since I last looked in on here. Are they multiplying?

I am pretty happy with these two showing up. They spend 3 months in no-mans land - and by that I mean they were lost. Tracking was useless and they just gone. THEN, they showed up. The seller was fantastic - he always is - and we dealt with it like gentlemen. Its sad that so many times this aspect is lost in the hobby. It is more than just about money and toys. In any case, they are now safe in their new home!

Wow...what a great pair of Vader's, don't see those everyday!
I bet you and the seller were worried when these went missing, and for three months.
So pleased for you that they turned up, and that you had a good relationship with the seller.

Really nice pick ups, especially the Toltoys MOC. As they say, 'all good things come to those who wait'. :wink:

That must be a huge relief! Not only personally but for the community. There can't be too many Toltoy Vader MOC still knocking about. It's a shame when any vintage item is lost for good, but rarer MOCs really make a dent. Lovely MOCs!

 

[darth_daddius]

thanks guys. There was definitely some angst.

Cheers,
Pat

 

[Plastikheld]

Whoa - those Vader are so fantastic. :shock:
Delighted for you, that they showed up after all that time.
Just imagine that Toltoys MOC would have ended in a dumpster for lost parcels ...

Oh wow - that's better than expected Rob! Wasn't it advertised as a reseal? Perfect for the focus.
