Went to a show called Echo today, apparently it's a Star Wars event?

 

[coomber75]

sadly couldnt get there but seen plenty of awesome buys shown!

 

[Robstyley]

Those Orks are well cool, and the French Chirps. Great Dagobah set too!

Nice Yoda,
What's the first item Carl, those illustrations look to be from the 1978 animated film?

Some lovely pieces. This has always been my favourite thread. I haven't had chance to post on here for a while, and these were boxed away, but I think I got these in the last 10 months maybe.

The Palitoy Han, Snowtrooper and Canadian Transition TIE Pilot are partial seals, but fully sealed for these is crazy money (if they turn up)

Hey Grant, nice :!: The partial seals display great too 8) Was nice to catch up with u yesterday pal

 

[palitoyjunky]

And this little monkey as well.

Speaking yesterday on the Luke Hoth Tri, yep certainly is a tough desirable piece :!: Excellent example there 8)

Thanks mate

It is indeed from the '78 film, it's a banner, missing the pole. The plan is to get it framed

Though I recognised the illustrations, good idea to frame it, should look good.

Nice pick ups Carl, looks like u had a good day at Echo.

 

[palitoyjunky]

Had a good day myself;

Firstly these real nice Palitoy Jedi MOCs from my good friend in the hobby Max Fields

Secondly, two more squiggles on the old poster-really cool editions esp Michael Culver(Capt Needa) who I have been wanting for sometime.

Collecting since 1994. Never wanted to pay the market prices for a lose Vinyl Cape Jawa. Now patience paid off, when this little fella popped up on ebay as a buy-it-now for € 300/£ 270 including the card with (correct) open bubble. As I had a code, I only paid € 285 /£ 255.
The last few days were a thrill - until it arrived today I could not be sure, if it was genuine. On the auction picture you could see absolutely nothing. But several parameters let me take the risk. Displays great and I think I won't ever come nearer to a VCJ MOC than this.

Came to post pics of my Echo haul but blown away by this!! Congrats Stefan, great score :mrgreen:

 

[Grant_C]

So great pick ups. What a great event that Echo was. So much incredible stuff.

Picked up these 2 pieces. Very fortunate to have great friends in this hobby.

 

[spoons]

Congrats on the other pic ups too, that Takara landspeeder is lovely Nick and the range of other stuff posted is great. I think this was my favourite Echo so far, I bought a good range of things and here are some of them.

Learnt loads about Fascal stickers from Martin and Darren, so picked up some to add to my childhood Star Wars one (stuck on a chess set that was never really used)

An upgrade to my first issue landspeeder with error picture. I nearly passed as it also has a sticker tear and a lot of glue residue but following Daz's advice a wet wipe took care of a lot of that

A pen topper box

and a Parker French/UK Destroy the Death Star game - I love this!

Also picked up the UK Topps cards (thanks Mark D for an amazing deal) and Mon Mothma's autograph

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

My first Echo. Sorry I didn't get to see too many of you. I picked up this lovely Chewie, thanks to a great deal from Nick Rayner, and this superb Star Case to fool the other half :lol:

Amazing Grant , both of those are a top MOC to own but I think that the Fett just edges it!
I would be happy with either one of those let alone both.... you really must have some great friends!

There have been some amazing items that everyone picked up this weekend at Echo, really need to make the trip next year, congratulations to one and all.

that Takara landspeeder is lovely Nick

Thanks Andy, would like to get the other two Takara die cast at some point if you hear of any for sale.

and this superb Star Case to fool the other half :lol:

Brilliant idea Jay! :lol:

cracking items mate

 

[Lom]

Lovely pickups on here!

Grant - was suitably jealous when you bought the Harbert Tusken to the breakfast table; didn't realise you already had that lovely Fett too!

Here are 4 mocs I've just picked up - not in the same league of course but I'm still very pleased!

(I was lucky enough to get some other bits too but they're still buried - will post once I find them!)

 

[Ruby2511]

Lots of lovely items being bought 8) will have to get myself to Echo one day and meet some of my fellow forum members

:shock: What's goin' on here ... man, the Fett MOC is breathtaking. Love it!

Now that's a beautiful upgrade ...

Lovely Chewie ... Nick is a top man!

Think those are quite amazing. Bright colours ... beautiful MOCs.

Think I also need to visit Echo one day ...

And so you should be, four great MOCs one a miss card which is still on my wants list, I never seem to be in the right place to pick one up in as great a condition as yours.
Congratulations.

Something Ive been after for a while - Palitoy 3 position laser rifle; box is ok, but has the window still which most seem to be missing and the gun is as close to unused as I think I'll find.

Oh lovely, I really like these full size weapons.
Congratulations on a great example and Palitoy as well.

 

[lejackal]

Nice pick up Max :!:

 

[MrGudz]

Some very nice pick ups chaps. That laser rifle is stunning. This is my pick up from Echo.

 

[Stuart Skinner]

Obviously we all know that the Imperial Dignitary is the greatest figure in the vintage line. I purchased this off Nick Shear back in January and said I'd pick up as we're in the same county, never got round to doing that but Nick kindly dropped off my Imp Dig POTF MOC a couple of saturdays ago after 8/9 months to finally complete the greatest shelf in any collection

 

[Stuart Skinner]

Echo pick ups - in fairness the Han and Rebel Soldier were Vectis buys and Martin was kind enough to collect and drop off to me at Vectis. Huge thanks to Nick Rayner, Marc Hockley and Rich Temple for the other three MOCs, love them all

My God, that's a lot of purple love going on there.. :lol:
Glad you completed your run and that you still remembered buying him!
Nice Han and Tusken.

 

[Nick_IoW]

Congrats on all the purchases! Looking great.

Big thank you to all the people who visited me at Echo - looks like half the stuff here was mine lol. Even some of the bits that weren't, used to be mine.

Great getting to see them live on in new homes
