Latest Acquisitions

[coomber75]

About 26 bought with love and excitement!

The other 6 are the "whoops". I hope to get them on the sale forum tomorrow. I think it's a R5D4, star destroyer commander, a walrus man, a power droid, a Death Star droid, and from memory an Ugnaught.

I picked them up before work today from Vectis Oxford.

I hope to take some better pictures then!

damn i need a death star droid :lol:

Very happy to add the Meccano sq card Yan to the foreign run in the Han focus

Superb deal with a great guy, who by his own admission had better offers after we agreed the deal, but he kept his word and the part exchange went through smooth as silk 8)

Fantastic Steve.
Is that a bubble protector around the bubble?
As I see that the bubble scored a 70.

 

[coomber75]

[Jaxxon]

Not as impressive as the recent MOC's but had a few bits waiting upon my return from abroad today.

Firstly, a couple of slightly battered additions to my new carded collection. I've decided to rename it 'Every MOC Deserves A Home'

Secondly, two more Droids/Ewoks story books...

A couple more loose graded...

...and finally some acrylic loveliness from Christian...

 

[Mr-Trilogo]

Nothing special compared to what is shown above but a couple of ridiculously super cheap acquisitions 4me .

Both are 100% confirmed Meccano figures I acquired from a nice French Lady .

First a mint card Fresh Meccano Fett with crisp backpack detail and Meccano original blaster. Came from a 'Empire Contre-Attaque' square card.

Second a Meccano Vader with discolored lettered hilt (II) . Both were kept in storage all theses years and never played with.

 

[Jaxxon]

Another Droids picture book and the 2-part Hungarian Star Wars Adaptation. The blue part two cover is one of my favourite pieces of cover art.

 

[dianoga77]

That has to be one of the best loose fetts going :mrgreen:

 

[chrisfnx]

Very nice Fett!

That Fett and Vader look as if they have just come off the card, amazing condition.
Congratulations.

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Agreed, both beautiful

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Wow some great pickups. Those Palitoy Vectis auction wins are fab. Love the Snag and of course Chewie.

Thank you TheJabbaWookie.
Off topic, we were on the A40 on Friday. The 3 in the light aircraft were so lucky, real brave people around.

 

[theforceuk]

Wow! Those Palitoys on previous page are stunning. :shock: Nice Boba and Vader as well. 8)

 

[Gadders]

Some great pick ups.
These are mine - a Kenner Canada carry case and German instructions.

 

[Ruby2511]

Some lovely pick ups guys 8)

Been a while since I've been on here or bought anything, been ill for a while and only just back to feeling better, got to say I have missed you guys :lol:

So been out today and treated myself to these beauty's

 

[Jaxxon]

Very nice little haul there Russ.

Went to Farthest From today with the intention of keeping my wallet in my pocket after Vectis and Farthest From. Now I'm asking why I took my wallet at all. I should have known better...

...and my favourite piece courtesy of Mark Daniels. This took me right back to my childhood.

But the most valuable thing I took away from today was the conversations I had with everybody. Hearing everyone's stories was worth the visit alone.
Especially the guys from the "normally reliable" Fantha Tracks (it's an in-joke that I'm sure they'd be happy to explain).

See you at tomorrow's screening of TPM if you're going.

 

[Ruby2511]

Cheers Simon. Nice haul 8)

New acquisition yesterday, a Trilogo boxed plush Wicket to join his little buddy Mookiee in my collection. NFS.

 

[Michael Sith]

Some great additions lately, love this thread

Loving the Ewoks Andy, I know that there is a split on the furry fellas, but think your additions are great 8)

Firstly. For me added 2 more to the mixed Pali Kenner 21 back run

Leia and R2

These are not everyone's cup of tea but are obvious repairs to nameplates and replacement bubbles, my budget is where I am and these are great for me so these are first up
