Taff's Jawa Focus

[gammoguard]

Cheers for the reply Taff.
I have 11 of the little fellas + 1 VC but only 1 weapon in total. All are cloaked (no naked's) but I've noticed that the colour of the stitching varies - some light brown, some dark brown but haven't checked to see if there are any large head cloaks yet.

Not got a vc yet. Waiting for price to come down to about £50 and then i'm in there! :lol:

£50 - imagine if that actually happened nowadays.....toy collecting equivalent of a lottery win :lol:
I remember buying mine 25+ years ago from a little backstreet second hand shop. Went in one day to see it on the shelf behind the till so trying to keep calm and relaxed (wasn't making a good job of it tho) I said to the assistant 'how much is that little brown figure on the shelf?' He replied 'the vinyl cape Jawa?' At that point I thought balls he knows exactly what it was so I said yes - he replied £4 !!!!! Promptly paid the £4 and as I left the shop I was expecting him to chase me down the road after realising his error :lol:
Worst part tho thinking back he was also selling a Yak for £2 :shock:

Update post sorting out Tracker and database. They have a temporary home on top shelf now!

N.B. There is plenty of space left... :lol:

They look great on the top shelf, it looks like a purpose built Temple or Shrine.

Jawa focus is going to be one sole item left - Selling on for funds.

Deciding to not focus on these ensures I can keep collecting other items and try to complete some collections in vintage and modern. I know some will be sad however I self fund my pastime so needs must. Thanks all who have helped, I really enjoyed them for a while!

Your selling them?

 

[Taffius]

Yep. Will be mate. Its a hard focus to retain when I am after so many other items.
Also learnt a hard collecting lesson today so feeling pretty poop to be honest.
My own fault for being trusting and lazy. On a +ve note, gained a value lesson that cost both in pride and what little rep I thought I might have stupidly self attained.
Gutted but there we go. Move on and notch that up and in the scale of life, its small compared to other issues and worries people have so...

Sounds like you've had a bad experience mate, but also that you have perspective as well, life throws crap at us, it's how you bounce back that counts bud, chin up bud

Got lazy and learnt a hard lesson in my collecting experience. I suppose a right of passage in some sense.

Don't worry about it, we have all been stitched up at some point in this hobby. I brought a fake VC Jawa back in 1999 for £120! :lol:

Some good storys on this old thread.

No I did the balls up and passed it on! Well gutted. Still hurts.

Don't worry about it, as long as you have done all you can to sort it out after.
