Palitoy Boba Fett MOC auction

[PGowdy]

Ha, following what I said I just found out I won one of the lots, and by the look of it one of the only 'bargains' of the day! I got the tri logo Luke Bespin, finally after 8 years I have another one

That's great news Edd. You can now stop living a lie, with regards to your forum avatar. :lol:

 

[edd_jedi]

Yep time for a new avatar! I do wonder where mine ended up...

 

[spoons]

well done Ed,

I bid in more hope than expectation and have ended up with the small wing DV TIE - I'm going to have to start selling now, anyone want to buy some 12"

 

[edd_jedi]

Quite chuffed, out of all the tri logos the one I won is the only one I would have paid the winning bid for. I mean who the hell paid £80 + fees for Klaatu? :lol: The TFP price wasn't bad though.

 

[plantman]

stop badmouthing klaatu

that fett is beyond ridiculous though, that has to be a millionaire.

I just looked up the Trilogo ending prices, not terrible. Some were way off (Anakin and Klaatu like Liam and co mentioned) but all in all most were about the average or below considering prices of late (Yak and ERG and some of the SW characters for example).

Edd, you did well on the Luke Bespin too.

Well done Craig, I guess we won't be seeing you for a while? Holiday time?

Top man on the small wind TIE! I know you've been after one for a while now so it's gone to the right person. Also a big thanks to Jason for putting the auction sales prices up as I didn't get a chance to see it live. That's some coin to drop on the Fett but doesn't really surprise me being so rare available. It's all good news for Craig and I'm sure Vectis will be very happy although I presume Craig sorted out a slightly better deal with them than their usual 20% fee ( I hope! ).

Wow...what a day.

I liked the bidding website and the whole layout. I bid on a few Trilogo but won nothing

Is it me but even easier to find Trilogos went for a very high price (Klaatu included)

The usual standard of journalism, one website says he bought it in 1980 for £1.50, another for £50 in 1990 :lol:

Interesting stuff. Though unpunched doesn't mean a figure was never sold!

Definitely a good price for the Fett so well done to Craig.

I'll have to dig out mine :wink:

 

[jedisearcher]

Those 3PO and R2 prices are crazy high ...
