I saw a classified on the Friday Ad website for a guy selling old Star Wars vehicles. Been after a Snowspeeder in the box for a while so off I went.

I popped around there last night and he pulls out the most discoloured, broken thing I have ever seen. I held it in my hands and the thing smelt & looked really bad, (so bad that when I got back in the car I wouldn't let the kids touch my hands). The batteries had leaked in it, it had a length of string hanging from the harpoon that could of only been a dirty shoelace. He then informed me that he had people from all over the country turning up to see his treasure trove of **** and that he knew his stuff..... He told me I was too late for the AT AT which he sold for £35 this thing was missing the Chin guns and bulb cover.
He did inform me that he had a load of the last 17 but after seeing the snowspeeder I made my excuses and left. Apparently he has all the old cards as well for Yak Face, AmanAman and others.
if anyone wants to chase this up feel free, he was a friendly guy but take some anti bacterial hand wash with you.
