Here's a silly sideline I've been trying to complete for some years and have finally done so: a set of five knock-off keyrings. Ages ago a poster, I think here, acquired an unused shop hanger full of them which was my guidance. The character choice suggests they're from the 70s. I remember psychadelic Vader, and psychadelic Vader only, appearing in a local shop in abundance circa 1984 though.
That was me i bought 2 unused hangers
they came from closed tobbaco/sweet shop in blackpool. Ive since sold one to simon. Regards chris
You did indeed, mate, and they still reside very happily in my cabinet, pride of place at be front
That said, I think it's time for the "beyond the toys" bits to go as I need more toy space...
Chipsteak that's a great accomplishment. To find the set individually amongst the millions of "Star Wars Keychain" listings is quite an accomplishment.
Edd, that's also a great milestone. Would love a run like that. Wallet and space says it's not to be at this time, though.
Carl, some nice pick ups there mate. Can't go far wrong with a main character on a Palitoy card. And a DF R2 is a nice buy, too.
As for the 32 back Canadian R2....love it. Original R2 and 3PO on ESB cards must be in my top 3 of must have MOCs.
Spoons, love the Zetca! Always admired those from afar but they fit in with nothing I collect but they're so cool. The packaging wouldn't be out of place on a shop shelf today.
Great finds everyone. Think it's getting harder and harder to find interesting things, personally. The splurge of collectors selling up has slowed to a trickle from what it was a year or two ago so new interesting finds are tough.
