Latest Acquisitions

[Mini99]

Almost completed my first 12 run in the last few weeks. Firstly, picked up a superb Ben Kenobi reseal from Lewis @ldr. Then, the legend that is Ian @Palifan helped me out with Luke, Han, Leia, DSC, C3PO, R2 and a Jawa. All apart from the R2 are from a childhood collection where a door was cut behind the bubble, meaning that all of the bubbles are fully sealed. I already had Chewie and Stormie from Ian a while ago. I also have a Sandpeople MOC, so I'm just looking for a Vader now to complete my Palitoy first 20 run. Sorry about the quality of the pics- acrylic is very reflective!

:shock:
Congratulations Andy, what an achievement.
They look absolutely fantastic on display together.
And yes Ian is a true gent.

 

[AndyPreston]

Andy, those are just fabulous! Congratulations, you cant beat those first 12 Palitoy cards.

 

[Sparky P]

Love it cazza. Especially the way you have displayed your palitoy. Congratulations

Well done, hopefully it's not long before you find a Vader.

Fantastic looking run mate, looks superb on display, Ian is a legend and helped me massively when putting my run together ( still to complete R5 & DSD ) I have some with a door cut on the back from Ian they do look great on display
Congrats mate...good luck with the Vader

Thanks Mike- I'll keep an eye out for those two for you...

 

[Michael Sith]

That wicket looks fantastic, such a clear bubble

I don't post that often but I check out the latest acquisitions thread every week or so. I love seeing people's collections grow. From loose figures to the rare and obscure items people unearth.

This is the latest addition to my Luke Hoth focus. The 1st piece I've been able to add to it in about 5 years.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's bought from me over the last 12 months. Without you this wouldn't be possible.

Thanks Alisdair and Michael. He's now in a GW case :lol:

[mention]Vernon[/mention] that proof is gorgeous- well done!

I recently got this fairly hard to find ESB Italian super 8. Great colours on the front of this.

Great pick up.

That is so nice. A lovely item Alisdair.

Not a vintage item in itself but picked up my new display cabinet made by Collector Displays on Facebook. Along with my GW Acrylic first 12 stand they display beautifully.

Stunning, love the display cabinet

 

[Capetown]

Cazza those 12 backs!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

That Wicket is stunning, welswookie. Congrats. 8)

And so is that Luke Hoth proof!! First addition in five years too. Must be a gigantic relief.

That Italian Super 8 is a peace of history in its own right. Are these still watchable?

What a beautiful display DR Ball!

Like many, haven't posted here for a while, but I'm hoping to make up for it with these. These have kept my collecting spirits going for the past few years:

Bought this 2 years ago. Not complete yet. Missing the insert and looking for a better box.

Got this from Nick (Nick_IoW) on the forum. Lovely sealed set.

Bought this stunning set last year from Jeremy (Snaketibe). Still looking for the original bags, the mirror stickers and a Palitoy Death Star catalogue.

Got this from an auction on Catawiki last August. The seller was the original owner. He had bought it in a sale, had put it in a cupboard and hadn't touched it for 30 odd years. This acquisition gave me back the bug. Hoping to hang on to it this time.

 

[Capetown]

Forgot about these.

First issue Wampa sold by Sears. As far as I know, it was factory taped like this.

Rebate offer PDT-8. Looking for a better box, but they are tough to find.

Bought this mainly to swap the contents of a Palitoy box whenever I find one. But nice Palitoy boxes are hard to find.

 

[welshwookie]

I must be the only one without a Palitoy Death Star :lol:
There was / is a death star booklet going on ebay.
