Me to Grinchy, I love to see what's out there to collect, if something catches my eye then I will buy it, it doesn't pay for us all to be the same, we're all unique in what we like. As long as collecting makes you happy, that's all that counts 8)

Bloody work Russ and trainging like mad for multiple charity events. Keeps me busy and not had time to even get out to buy stuff. Also been sorting Spitfire out. Fixed a misfire, found a water leak and then leaked a few hundred ££s fixing that.
I have a nice piece of vintage inbound and need the Rogue One Phasma and Finn, and two US multipacks.

 

[Ruby2511]

I feel your pain with work, busy last week with that GDPR crap !!!!

Hope the Spitfire is back to its former glory 8)

Take care mate

My old Mini was like that, a right old bone shaker over 50mph, loved that car, wish I still had it :lol:

Picked this up for my ever growing ROTS collection...never been opened and the box and 'window' are in fantastic condition..A great price from a great seller on the Echo Live Modern Facebook group 8)

 

[apack7229]

So my latest pickup has a bit of a long story to it but to keep it short I bought the black series stormtrooper helmet from GameStop on may 4th. They had sent me a used one instead of new so I called them up and they told me to return it. When it got back to their warehouse they refunded me and told me that they didn't have any more so they couldn't do anything. I called corporate up and they told me that they found one and would send it out to me but they wanted me to pay the full price instead of the sale price I had paid. I showed them the price I had paid so I got it for the sale price. So here it finally is.

 

[TRILOGY COLLECTOR]

Some very nice pick up guys

 

[Russ J]

Cheeky twats sending a used one :x ....you paid for a brand new one so you want a brand new one...yeh its their sale items but thats no excuse :roll:

And for them to try and charge you full price and not the sale price you originally bought it for well thats just appauling

 

[apack7229]

Exactly. It was insulting after what they had pulled. If they had just sent it out to me after they got the used one back or after they refunded me that they would look for a replacement I would have been fine. At least they didn't send me back the used one and try to get me to pay full price.

 

[Taffius]

Nice to see you with your purchase proper finally. Swinging the lead comes to mind with that company! Great piece Apack.

 

[apack7229]

Thanks.

 

[Taffius]

Went to Lincoln today. A few TLJ on sale at £7.50 a figure but no Solo figures. Really thin pickings now for a city!

However, I have nicked from the Mrs her Oleg in BB-8 onesie from comparethemarket.com so have aquired something modern. :lol: :lol:

 

[grinchy]

Glad you managed to snag something modern Taff :lol:
Just got this in, been after for a while got this reduced as it had a ding in front, doesn't bother me I quite like edgewear and the odd ding, not for everyone I know

 

[Ruby2511]

It's good to get the list ticked off, just been on ebay myself and bought a skirt and weapon for Klaatu. Got a cheeky bid in for a Leia boushh rifle to finish off my wants :wink:

Russ

 

[grinchy]

Nice one, hope you snag the boushh weapon to,

 

[Ruby2511]

Nice one, hope you snag the boushh weapon to,

Thanks, fingers crossed, they go for silly money, only original for me, no repro crap :lol:

 

[apack7229]
