My Stuff! December 2023 Update

[grinchy]

You have a great collection of carded figures, really impressive, to many to pick a favourite, kudos to you!

 

[Pomse2001]

Great update, I love your new items 8)

 

[Cazza]

Thanks chaps- very happy with them. Just need to think of a way to get the MOCS displayed properly, as at the moment, I'm not doing them justice

No what you mean I whent through this about 3 years ago the more I got the more it bothered me. It's worth investing in some acrylic cases in my opinion, you have some mint examples and they will look great.

 

[Cazza]

Adam, yeah, acrylic is on the agenda- price s a bit prohibitive at the mo though. They're all in Starcases apart from one, which is in acrylic. I'm thinking of getting some acrylic wall shelving as well as a lot of my MOCs are shoved behind other stuff :roll:

Yeah good idea, Steve at UKG made some good ones for me a while back. As you say though price is an issue, their's always that thought in your head for the price of a load of acrylic cases I could get so and so MOC. :lol:

Exactly! :lol:

Some more up-to-date pics. You can see the MOCs are a little hidden, especially the ones on the shelves to the right. I'm thinking of trying three shelves above the turntable (where the AF Paratrooper is). I may be able to shift up to around 12 of the MOCs there, and they'd have pride of place. Also added a couple of Action Force pics (gotta love Roboskull!) and a pic of my childhood Inpro Dinosaurs 8)

Dude! That is an awesome display! It's got so much going on and everywhere you look there's piles of ace stuff! I've never seen a minirig display look so call as all together in a little mini-rig wall like that That Jawa SW diorama; that's the modern one, right? Looks really cool with vintage on it. Very, very nice indeed.

 

[user 5830]

No denying its a lovely lot of Star Wars, but I keep looking again and again at the Action Force set-up; sweet gear!

 

[Robstyley]

Love this Cazza.. my kind of collection. You got some well nice Empire cards. Looks the business mate

 

[steve obi wan]

Awesome , great variation on the collection :shock:

 

[Joe]

Great collection Cazza, nice mixture of everything there! Spotted some cracking carded figures too!

 

[spoons]

loving the imperial army and the ESB R2 - great collection Cazza!

 

[chrisfnx]

Very impressive, looks great!

 

[theforceuk]

Superb collection/display Andy, love the Minty AT-AT box and the imperial army is special. Nice MOC's as well. :shock:

Thanks Simon- yeah, it's the Pride Displays one. Really nice piece of kit- very well made and was pretty cheap.

Thanks mate! Gotta love Action Force! I've focused on Series 1, as that's mainly what I had as a kid. Got a complete loose run of Series one (only a couple of tiny things missing) + a couple of MOCs. Have a complete loose run of Series 2 Enemy figures/vehicles and a few Z/SAS Force. Not fussed about Q-Force and Space Force though...

Love this Cazza.. my kind of collection. You got some well nice Empire cards. Looks the business mate

Thanks buddy- yep, ESB is kind of a focus as it is what I grew up with (mostly).

Awesome , great variation on the collection :shock:

Thanks mate! My main focus is trying to get the stuff as I had as a kid. Been trying to find all the figures I had brand new as a kid on MOC, but it's not easy! :?

loving the imperial army and the ESB R2 - great collection Cazza!

Thanks- more of an Imperial squad though I think! Yeah, orginal R2 on ESB card is one of my favs 8)

Very impressive, looks great!

Thanks mate!

Superb collection/display Andy, love the Minty AT-AT box and the imperial army is special. Nice MOC's as well. :shock:

Thanks Adam The AT-AT was one of the first things I went out and bought when I first started collecting in the mid-nineties, as I never had one as a kid, but desperately wanted one. There was a guy locally who had an ad in the Free-Ads. Bought my Falcon and Last 17 Luke Stormie, EV-9D9 and R2 from him as well

Great update of new pictures from your fantastic collection :wink:

Already posted this in the Acquisitions section, but I'm so chuffed with it, thought I'd better pop it in here as well

Recently managed to acquire something of a grail piece for me- so chuffed with it It's the first Star Wars item I ever owned- given to me by my Aunty when I was about 4 or 5. I didn't have a clue how to play it- I just invented my own games for it. I used to pour over it for hours- loved the pics.

When I got back into collecting a couple of years ago, this was the thing I really wanted to find, but had no idea what it was called. I started a thread on here http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25738&p=347755&hilit=star+wars+game#p347755 describing it and thankfully jedi_mister came to my rescue! Gamester Magazine (with a giant pull-out game of Star Wars), released by Walton Press Sales Ltd n 1977.

I then spent the next few months trying to find one to no avail. A couple turned up on Ebay, but in poor condition and expensive at £25+. I finally got lucky a few weeks ago and managed to bag a complete, unused/new Gamester magazine... for a tenner! So so chuffed with it. It brings back such memories - quite a quirky oddball item really, with weird ships etc. I'd love to open it out and play it properly, but I'm going to leave it intact. Hopefully my old one will turn up in my parents' loft one day...

 

[Pomse2001]

:shock: Cool game, never seen it before :wink:

 

[Cazza]

Yeah, not a very well known piece. Produced in the UK very early on.

Got hold of a few items recently. This first one is a biggie for me- been looking for a sensibly priced SW DSD for what seems like an eternity. DSD & R5 were the first figures I bought on my 7th Birthday from Zodiac Toys in Swindon. Can remember it really well 8) Keep missing out... until now! Got this little fella a few days ago from a nice guy on Ebay who was selling his collection. We negotiated a very reasonable deal. It's not perfect (plenty of edge wear), but overall it's pretty good! VERY VERY chuffed with it. I now only need 3 more MOCs to complete my childhood focus: SW R5-D4, ESB Stormie and ESB Boba (lol!). Dead jealous of seeing all these beautiful R5 MOCs turning up!

Also got this ESB Palitoy Slave 1 box...

Trash Monster (great condition and price- thanks so much to DarthStanley 8) )

Finally a 41-bk ESB Bossk, thanks to Gorneesh.

 

[stormcab]

Eye candy as far as the eye can see.

 

[Pomse2001]

Wow that is some cool new items you have received 8)

 

[Cazza]

Thanks fellas!

Update time...recently got hold of 3 more MOCs, loose Patrol Dewback and Loose Turret Probot playset. Very happy with them all

The R5 is part of my childhood focus. Been after one for ages- was offered a nice one by a forum member, but couldn't get the cash together at the time. Then another one came up for sale from Ed (punk_pat). I hadn't seen the sale thread, but in true SWFUK style, Carl asked Ed to keep it for me. Top men 8)

My original focus was going to be ESB Palitoy MOCs, but due to Pali prices, I quickly knocked that one on the head and started going for ESB Kenner MOCs. This TFP came up for sale from Iain- lovely MOC, sensibly priced (as usual).

Final new MOC is this beautiful ESB 31-bk from Lee G. I kept looking at it and saying 'No' but I kept getting drawn back to it. Thought I'd better be quick, as it's pretty hard to find and was well priced! One of the best figure/cardback combos IMHO- that ESB logo goes so well with the original SW pic (a bit like R2, PD & DSD).

Been after a loose Turret Probot playset for a while now. Got one a few weeks ago which was just missing the Probot stand. Found one on Ebay straight away, which was a bonus! It's now in the cabinet covered in Hoth figures 8)

Wasn't really in the market for a dewback, but found one at a decent price to complete my creatures line up.

 

[spoons]

Some great additions Cazza - the turret and probot looks the business with all those figures and the talker 8)
