[QUOTE="burnsy, post: 82038, member: 422"] First, the most I ever paid for a single figure which was purchased very near to the end of completing my loose run. Even though he's encased in an acrylic coffin, I count him as my Blue Snag in my loose collection.... [ATTACH=full]112224[/ATTACH] My first major Palitoy and I was so pleased at her condition when she arrived... [ATTACH=full]112225[/ATTACH] I started picking up Takara items around a year ago and I am still not complete with this run. I love them. The weight of the die cast figures and X-Wing, the packaging, the quirkiness of the items and the firing R2's and C3P0's. It seems in Japan everything had to fire missiles or bullets. I love this item, when you turn it on it's hard to believe it's a toy from the late 70's.... [ATTACH=full]112226[/ATTACH] I love Trem's. I remember seeing some for sale on RS a while ago and nearly fell off my stool when I saw what was being charged for the crappiest thing I had ever seen. However times have changed and I am now addicted and feel these are one of the most collectible lines to go for. They are vey rare and have a great story behind them. Jesus, they are supposed to be kids toys and they are made out of lead coated with a very toxic paint!!!! Class!!!! This is one of my favourites.... [ATTACH=full]112227[/ATTACH] And last but not least, my Tri Jawa. OK, not in the best of condition. It has bubble damage and creasing to the card but at the time of purchase, I was not aware as to quite how rare this was and neither was the seller.
