Latest Acquisitions

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.

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??

Thanks all - and Alisdair it is odd but I'd guess that hovercraft and scooter are both used in Italian, so it is a translation of sorts?

According to Google translate, the direct Italian interpretation of Land Speeder would have been 'Acceleratore Di Terra' which sounds a little less like it was conceived by a 4 year old (although nowhere near as much fun).

Ha ha

Collins shows both words as being Italian too, I think using the 'English' Italian words would have pleased the kids

Great Landspeeder, as I've mentioned before I like the Harbert logo,

Nice one Carl.
I nearly bought a Kenner employee card with the bird on it in the summer, regret not buying it now.

Nice one Russ.

Andy I'm not sure how I missed your pick ups but hello Harbert :mrgreen: :shock:

Those mini rigs are great as well Alisdair :!:

Love everything guys, I just don't have time for a full on Jez run down

 

[Mini99]

Nice round up Carl.
Where is Jez's to do his round up?
Busy fighting and keeping the peace you say..well that's ok then.

I'm not a loose collector, but like to put small loose runs together.
Today I completed my loose Luke run with a Luke battle poncho.

Will do after FF, as although I own the 7, unfortunately Luke Hoth is still with TK 7785.
I will be collecting this at FF in Dec and will get a picture up then.

Found inside a box of old magazines. Two ticket booking flyers from 1983.

That's a great find

 

[Grant_C]

Happy. It took 25 years to grab one after buy Sansweets book.

 

[edd_jedi]

Amazing Grant! Always wanted one of those myself.

Great pick up Grant, like Edd, I've been looking for one of these with the bag for a while now with no luck.

 

[AndyPreston]

Great find Grant, congratulations!

 

[roundster]

Amazing Grant! Need to pop by and check your collection out mate!!

 

[UKS]

And with this, I think I've finished by original MOC run!

Now I have two decisions to make:

1. Do I upgrade certain cards? (POTF to trilogo, ESB on ROTJ cards to ESB etc)
2. Do I collect the Droids/Ewoks line? (I already have a couple)
3. Do I go for Vlix? (Just kidding!!!)

[Grant_C]

Congrats on the Yak. Always an exciting occasion

 

[roundster]

Great arrival from the states this week, thanks to Iain for sending them on to me!!

Anakin offer focus is moving on well!

Loving the Ace Price $3.29 price tag on these! Not such an Ace price back in the day, but a lot less than I paid!!

 

[Mini99]

Congratulations four more added to the collection, what are the odds of three from the same shop?
How many left to complete your run?

 

[Mini99]

Added this piece to my Takara die cast run, purchased from a Forum member, only the X Wing left now.
I really do like small runs...only three in this one.

 

[quins]

Love that Tie Mini99.Looks Great.
Only just recently picked up a carded X Wing die cast not Takara off here and want more.

 

[Cazza]

S1dOW, those flyers and great- not seen them before.

Grant, that lucite star is a find and a half! Awesome!!

UKS, nice Yak 8)

Paul, the Anakin offer run is coming along really nicely!

Nick, COOL diecast TIE. Really liking diecast stuff now and have started a loose run myself

After waiting an eternity to find my Palitoy/Ben Cooper masks, another full set became available. This set is absolutely mint- not a single crack anywhere and the colour is phenomenal! The only defect is the ding on the Stormie. VERY happy with these 8)
