Following on from Colin's fab thread, thought I'd add my own
Got chatting to a neighbour a couple of months ago and he spotted a boxed mini-rig that I was bringing home (bought off a colleague's husband). My neighbour said his Mother-in-law had discovered a box of Star Wars stuff in her loft and that she probably didn't want it. I asked him to find out what she had and if she was willing to part with it.
Couple of weeks later and an oldish lady came over as I was cleaning the car. Introduced herself as my neighbour's mother-in-law and asked if I wanted the old toys. She said there was a Falcon, some figures and a Weird white spaceship like a ball with two wings. She wasn't sure on condition or if there were any accessories, but said she'd bring them over for me.
Saw my neighbour this morning and he said she's bringing them over this weekend. He's not very clued up, but confirmed the Falcon. Also said he thinks there is Darth's Tie Fighter + some figs and weapons.
I'm trying not to get too excited, but I can't wait until Sunday! I've never had a vintage Tie of any description- let's hope it's in one piece!
