[Capetown]

The shelf talker is a beauty. Love the offer leaflets too. You've done well.

Amazing, very jealous for these.

happy new year new and old members alike.

I found a beater falcon and some beater figures last month in a charity shop. £20 for the lot.

Heres a pic of the stuff I found along with other vintage assortments.

The falcon will be useful for part upgrades.

Heres a video for the find too

Ackbar seems to be in reasonable condition. A predominantly white figure that doesn't yellow easily.

Yes it's the cream tunic variant. He will scrub up nicely

 

[poncho]

First charity shop vintage toy find of the year and its Starwars hope it continues.

Always check those rummage boxes folks! It had to be klaatu lol but still it brought a huge smile to my face and that's what the hobby should be about smiles and nostalgia. 20p well spent

My 3 acquisitions of 2022.
Bring on 2023

Nice - were they the ones off eBay? I was keeping an eye on them too

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Mmmm chocolate

First pick up of the year and it's a big one for me. After all it's been top of my most wanted list for a number of years now. He's also my first non-sonic welded figure.

He finally joins the rest of the run and aside the standard Poch figure I'm more or less happy that run's drawing to an end now.

Excellent addition! Congratulations.

Nice poch figure I really must dig my han hoths out of storage

Yes, both leaflets came from ebay.

 

[Gadders]

Its gone a bit quiet here, so here's my recent purchases:
A Swedish POTF catalogue
ROTJ AirFix Flyer from PlayLand in Stevenage
John Menzies Win a C-3PO Carry Case Flyer

 

[Hod10]

Really like the John Menzies C-3PO collectors case flyer

 

[chrisfnx]

Nice flyers picked up in this thread! I picked up this small flyer at echo live. Pleased to get one finally!

 

[Cazza]

Love the paperwork, fellas!

Congratulations Chris on starting a flyer collection

 

[chrisfnx]

Thanks! I only wanted this one, not looking to start a collection of paperwork, well that's the theory!

 

[Snaketibe]

Here's a recent acquisition I was lucky enough to add to my collection; a lovely green cape Lili Ledy Bib Fortuna:

 

[Cazza]

Very nice, Jeremy.

 

[Frunkstar]

Agreed nice addition Jeremy (going to have to start remembering the names ain't I) so thanks Cazza

 

[Frunkstar]

Nothing earth shattering by any means but sure shows the state of play with trying to add anything to the collection these days.

I am still thrilled to add this one to the very unintentional Emperor side focus that's sprung up in my collection though & something that won't break the bank like most things these days.

Yes it's a palitoy Emperor mailer, so a little more interesting than the Kenner version, but what makes this one special is the weapons error (2 canes) to add to my Emperor mailer oddball/error collection, he will sit next to the kenner version I have with the same error proudly.

 

[sith-smith]

Nice. Emperor is one of the few baggies I have.

 

[Snaketibe]

Lovely Emperor baggie, and all the more interesting because of the cane error. I wonder if some disappointed child back in the 80's received one without a cane? Good old Palitoy quality control!

 

[db94]

Not a new acquisition but wanted to share
I have my loose collection on display but wow I forgot how great it is to set up a few figures.

The backpacks from the survival kit were always a favourite accessory. Adding them and a bigger blaster made a big difference to the Rebel Troopers.

Going to treat myself to another Stormie for the Troop Transporter - then I'll want 3 more for the other side

Time to get a few more figures set up, they are the reason I love SW so much and still collecting now

 

[Cazza]

Nice Emperor, Frank.

Love the display, Colin!

Yes, a nice display you have there

 

[Vintage40]

Great display! What set did the survival packs come from originally? I have a few but don't recall what they came with back in the day when I received them.
