:lol: :lol: :lol: as if......................
here goes...........................
Battle Damaged Tie Fighter and Kenner Battle Damaged X-Wing. A cheeky modern TFP bombed the shot.
The awesome modern Tie Bomber with a bomb or 2. This is the only modern ship I'd ever own. It's cool. A 12" R2 and the Sears Exclusive Imperial Cruiser
A diecast y-wing cloud car. Together with a VGC Han Hoth
Better shot of the cruiser and a die cast Slave I. What's that little fellow?
And there he is in all his glory! Finally my search is complete and my loose collection hunt is over. An R2 pop-up sabre! Immaculate!!!!
Only problem now is that my loose collection has now outgrown it's allocated space. And the g/f doesn't believe I haven't spent £££ssss on this. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Seriously though....
For those who don't know I'm a bit down at the moment (Secret Santa, and podcast issues have taken its toll) and have reconstruction surgery on my right ankle coming up. Basically I've broken my ankle somewhere between 10-15 years ago and tore some ligaments. My ankle rejoined but at a slight angle. The torn ligaments have resulted in floating cartilage and arthritis setting in. I have fluid inside my bone which needs drilled out. The docs are going to clean it up and reroute a blood vessel through my bone to keep arthritis at bay. Clever stuff methinks. There's about a 50% chance of success, 25% of making things worse. I'm a very active person and this could keep me out of all sports for 8 months. ****ing 8 months I'll be insane within 2. I must stay on crutches for 2 months minimum otherwise I could be back to square one. It's going to be tough for me and this parcel arrived at exactly the right time. With FF around the corner it's a great start to the month.
A huge thanks goes to Frank. I know how difficult it is to organise these things and I'm sure he was pissed off plenty and many times just wanted to say **** it! I know I do! I'm forever in your debt.
Also huge thanks to Todd for his generosity in this. I know some of what you've done my friend.
Massive thanks to everyone who donated generously whether it was cash, prizes for the raffle looked out for items...hell even just for being part of the community and getting involved in the spirit.
That is why forums rock - and especially SWFUK.
I'm sure my podcast mates and other friends I meet at FF also generously gave and I want to shout out to you lot too.
Love to you all.
Richard

Hey! They are all over 15 years old! I think? :lol:
Thanks Bootyhunter. It's going to be tough from 9-18th March for me as that is when all my planned fun ends.

Indeed it does and it must have. I would have said you but then again you'd just forget for another 12 months. :lol:
Seriously though great find and I'm well chuffed. But does this mean our buyer/seller relationship has ended? :shock:

Ankle sounds nasty, good luck with the op and recovery. If you feel **** you can always watch Star Wars! R2 looks superb.
