Nice, got quite a few "variants" of those on my Trilogos and Palitoy cards, I particularly like the 2 for a $ ones
First vintage pick up for a while, an upgrade for my loose Han Bespin. I'm not seeking pefection for my loose run, but my old one had quite a bit of hair missing at the front which bothered me, this one's not perfect but a lot better
I’m sure you all saw this coming, but I decided to collect some VHS tapes!
The first two to arrive are Return of the Jedi, on the left is the first rental release from 1986 which I remember hiring from Fiveways video in Brighton in the late 80s.
The version on the right is the 1988 release which was the first time the films were released as a “trilogy”, I remember a friend of mine had this version and I loved the box artwork.

Another VHS arrival, in case you didn't see my other thread this is the 1985 release of Star Wars, which has exactly the same inlay as the 1983 release but a tape with printed text rather than a sticker. Apparently much rarer than either of the first two releases, I don't know if it's any more sought after or valuable but to be honest the main thing I like about it is that the white plastic case matches the other ex-rental fims so will match on the shelves

Loving the headless Han Hoth Andy, I really love the oddball stuff.
I've got a VHS Edd, will have to dig mine out at some point & see which version I have.
Carl - mega bargain Teebo baggie, you did well there even if it is a bloody Ewok

Going to be having a flick through the last pages on here to see what everyones been finding of late, its not that often I manage to add anything to my collection these days, but I could not pass these comic advert proofs up, the ESB one takes me right back to being a kid as I spent time in Germany & have likely seen ESB more times in German than English & the fett was something that hit's my focus on the head perfectly, I think Ben Potter may still have some available from the recent find.
