Love that Belgian paperwork, Gadders. Nice MOCs, fellas. Used to have a very similar Power Droid a few years ago.

Been a while since I bought anything of note, but been after one of these in this condition for a while. Dead chuffed! Still got my loose original (bought from Argos, Swindon on my 7th Birthday) and now have a box to do it justice.

Amazing condition Andy, a great addition to your collection

I was very pleased to be able to upgrade my Rebo Band recently to this example:

Corners are nice and crisp- lovely box! Rebo's nice and blue too!

After the Mrs took the piss out of me for claiming to be a life long Star Wars collector and still not owning a Yoda MOC and after sitting in a dark room to mull this over, I went and bought one. It's a bit creased, but unpunched and clear blister.

Delighted to share my Father's Day presents
5 copies of Star Wars weekly comic, Sounds of Star Wars cassette,

lovely loose Biker Scout and and absolutely beautiful die cast Millennium Falcon.
Going to take my time and enjoy reading the comics while eating home made gingerbread.
Biker Scout is going on to my childhood speeder bike and the Falcon will be getting stared at all day never had it or even saw it in the shops as a kid - absolutely love it.
Oh and I retired on Thursday (and took my fire gear home )
Fingers crossed everyone is enjoying today
Cheers
Col.

Congratulations on your retirement Colin, you've got plenty of time to read those comics now

 

[Cazza]

So jealous of you retiring Colin! Congratulations and enjoy! Great Father's Day haul, by the way!

Congratulations on your retirement Colin, enjoy the great Fathers Day Gifts

Retirement.... Oh the absolute dream!

OK, couldn't resist sharing this one. To paraphrase Han, he may not look like much, but he's got it where it counts.

Welcome this version of Mr Yees, my 500th loose figure variant. Just goes to show, they don't all have to be Lili Ledy Han Endor or PBP Rebel Soldiers. Even a humble, common or garden Kenner (Smile) Ree-Yees can add to the figure count .

This Kenner Christmas Savings booklet arrived today. Unfortunately it's missing the back page, but a nice addition nonetheless.

50th Birthday today
I finally got my boxed unused, sealed bag absolutely minty gorgeous piece of vintage childhood nostalgic Magic Millennium Falcon.
It's been sitting hidden away in a wardrobe for over 8 years waiting for today. Wow it was worth the wait.
Last time I had this feeling was Christmas morning 1980.
Also got this beautiful R2. Loved this toy back in the day. Some comics and a lightsaber prop.

Having a great day

 

[Cazza]

Wow, that's stunning mate! Huge congratulations!

Was originally going to be a 25th wedding anniversary present from my wife. At the last minute she got me something else so it was decided it would make a fantastic 50th/Retirement present. I even labelled the shelf it was on in the wardrobe Dockingbay 94

Cheers bud, had a great day, most of it looking at that beautiful box. I have great memories of getting it the same one all those years ago

 

[Gadders]

Not bought much recently, but did receive this great bundle of Kenner Canada instructions, blueprints and used sticker sheet.

Oh, and these Palitoy dealer catalogues.

Nice one Carl, glad you managed to get it.

 

[lejackal]

Nice one Carl, glad you managed to get it.

I thought you had it to be honest but when Mike said you passed I couldn't really not buy it

 

[Michael Sith]

There will be a few more coming up after my hols house move is a killer …no display room so need to thin out. but will have to get some valuation advice first

in the mean time im going to put up a competition as we haven't had one on here for ages, need to get the forum bubbling again !

 

[Cazza]

Recently got this. Had one as a kid, but think I threw it out a few years ago, as it was falling apart. The stupid things you do!

Unused contents, instructions etc. Pretty chuffed, although would've probably preferred an Airfix one. Can't remember which version I had as a kid.
