a carded one for a fair price

Yes , and pigs might fly :lol:

The last one was a little bit more than I could afford at the time, I know where 3 more are but they are asking silly money.

I would rather the MOC but if it comes to it the cardback would keep me happy instead :)
 
Great new additions Tundra & Dr B! :D

Here are my latest additions,one of which i consider to be a personal grail item! :D

One more boxed ship to show you.

I completed my Ledy loose run today and Nikto arrived in a nice vehicle...

The box is ok, but the speeder is in great condition.

Congrats Mark, amazing new additions mate.

I have never seen a Sandcrawler up close.

Is it working? If it is, how fast doest it go??
 
Cheers Stu,that LL snowspeeder is awesome,its the first one i've ever seen! 8)

The sandcrawler is in full working order mate,it struggles on carpet but can fairly move on wood flooring! :D
 
Some fantastic new stuff here again guys.

Dr Ball, some pretty minty new figures there. Why do you keep saying a figure will be your last for a while. You know it doesn't work that way! :lol:

Tundra, I like the playsets a lot. Are you going to display them? The figures did come with weapons, yes, but I'm sure you will be able to find them here or on ebay quite easily.

Mark, what can I say. I'm really happy for you you've found your holy grail. It's a great piece and possibly the coolest star wars toy ever. Fantastic that you got it to work too! Also, the decal sheet is a nice touch. The A-Wing is also very nice. Do the electronics work? The meccano to Trilogo is a great book. Did you get it straight from the author?

Nurnsy, stop hoarding man! Seriously, love the Snowspeeder mate. Makes me think about going for those too.

I have put the village in my cabinet, but it's 1cm too big, so the door won't close...
I don't have room anywhere else in my apartment for the sets, except maybe for my bedroom, but
no-one can see them there :p
 
Some great buys guys.

Love the Sandcrawler. You'll have to buy another now so that you can race them. :wink:

It's great that it still works after 30 years or more!!! 8)
 
Thanks for the kind comments guys! :D

Emiel,the A Wing sound didn't work but i followed Bollux's fix it guide & got it working.It was a simple case of bending a copper contact so that it would touch another copper contact when the button is pushed & it works fine now.I believe its a common problem with A Wings.The Meccano book i originally had to order through Forbidden Planet here in the UK & after a month & got an email from them saying they had sold out so i contacted Joe & he said to email Stephane directly which i did & luckily enough he said he had a few copies left & he even signed it too,top bloke!

I can't wait to see pictures of your Sonic Landspeeder,have you received it yet?

Gary i'll leave the Sandcrawler racing to you,you still have 3 to keep you going! :lol:
 
Hey, glad to hear that my guide helped you out, we wouldnt want that amazing battle alert sound not working would we? :lol:
 
some really superb purchases chaps - I love this thread, recently I've been thinking of bowing out but every time I check in, the new buys are so good that I'm inspired to keep going :)

The glasslite ships and sandcrawler are especially good 8)

Cheers Andy,you hang in there mate! :D
 
yeah the cannons did keep falling out, you almost need a third hand dont you?

not too difficult though!

I was sweating when I did take it apart though incase I broke it!
 
Great additions guys 8)

Took a chance on this and scored an original R2 on tri logo sensorscope card.

Bubble's a bit dented, but I like it. According to Stephane's book its an early french card/bubble.
