Latest Acquisitions

[Alisdairmac]

I was lucky to find 2 boxed items in the last couple of weeks with UK shop related stickers. The at at one is hard to find. The whsmith mini rig sticker I like a lot.

 

[Robstyley]

Holy **** Carl! That Fett's a beaut. At first glance I thought it had a Kaybee sticker on it which would be strange if not impossible, a Palitoy sold in America.

Really like the stickered AT AT and INT too. I think they definitely add to the story of these items and make them more interesting.

Hey Andy, yep, that's exactly what it is, a Palitoy sold in an American clearance bin. It's a shop called The Toy Box which was owned by KayBee
If you zoom in it's actually got the original, older, Toy Box green text sticker underneath the later red text clearance one.

Love the stickered boxes Alisdair, the Menzies box is in great condition, and I've never seen the mini-rigs sticker before. Great finds!

Oh it actually is!? No way I know we got Kenner stock, especially towards the end, but I didn't know Palitoy packaged stuff found its way accross the pond.

Well pleased.

Thanks. I've never seen the mini rig sticker before either. Come to think of it I can't think of any mini rig specific sticker from any shop?

The scout walker was the piece that got me back into collecting again, thanks to my son who bought me one for Christmas 2017

 

[stormcab]

Blinding AT-AT. That Pali Fett stands out a mile compared to the TT ones. Helps it's such a low grade

 

[AndyPreston]

It's been a Topps week for my collection! Managed to pick up not only a good upgrade for my British 1st series store display box, but also the elusive 2nd series box, which I've been after for years. That one needed a bit of fixing up, but it's come out very well. Really pleased to have one at last.

 

[Palifan]

Love these SW cards boxes and I remember them well growing up and using my 10p pocket money to pick up 2 packets each week. Thankfully swaps for these were easy to come by in the playground so I managed to complete the blue series and almost all of the red series which I still own.

I can still smell the pink bubble gum to this day

topps blue sets so much a part of my childhood memories and playground swappsies , don't forget the powdery taste of the gum , most of the few I have from childhood show the evidence of gluing them to my bedroom wall to make the large sw poster on the back of some of them

 

[x-wingMark]

First pick up for me in quite a while. A nice Bespin guard with bubble still attached. Just need to go in the loft at the weekend to find my loose figures to add him back in for display.

If any one has any original bubbles spare let me know or also interested in more Palitoy cards with bubble. Cheers Mark

 

[Alisdairmac]

It's been a good (expensive) month this month. I got the 2 harbert stickered mini rigs this month. They make a nice complement to the edilio parodi and general Mills import stickered rigs I already had.

 

[theforceuk]

Nice Bespin card and bubble, have fun going up the loft to get the figure. Always great going up the loft to get vintage Star Wars.

Those mini rig harbert ain't to bad either. :shock: 8)

Those are great, love that Harbert logo.

Love the Bespin guard card and bubble Mark, great pick up will look super when you forage in the attic and rehome your figure
Look forward to seeing him completed

Those Mini rigs look great!

Alisdairmac has been very busy. I do like a mini rig and that INT=4 with the WHS sticker is great. Really like Carl's pick-ups too, lovely Boba and two-pack and the Kaybee bag is special.

I don't seem to be buying anything other than Landspeeders recently - here's a 12 back Harbert to go with my 21. They are identical from the front but I am a completist. A bit tatty but they don't come around often.

 

[theforceuk]

Amazing addition Andy! :shock: 8)

 

[quins]

Loving the Land Speeder Spoons.

It must be Harbert month. Odd thats its called a hovercraft scooter. I think all the other Harbert diecast have italian translations of the english names, is that correct??

 

[chrisfnx]

Nice landspeeder! Love the guerre stellari design card

 

[Plastikheld]

These Harbert items are HOT!!!
Congrats @spoons @alisdairmac
