Vectis - 15th April (someone there ?)

[Bonsai_Tree_Ent]

Congrats, it's a big, imposing cool looking piece and much rarer (smaller numbers existing) than the carded figures that also sell for the £300+ mark.

 

[Mr. Bob A. Feet]

Nice one SublevelStudios

The water to my neighborhood just went off so after a few minutes panicking that I fubared it back to the auction and 500+ lots to go before my bid, hopefully everyone is tired/poor by that time!

10 years!!! :lol: You can't use that as a gauge.


Anyone know where 191 has gone? It's missing from the list and Stu had bids on it.

:lol: Still crazy the price have changed so much it is 200% :shock:

Nice ESB display Mark, I was going to bid on one item but ended up missing it LOL!

Anyone here get the Glasslite boxed x-wing?

Thanks, I had one back in the early 90's but sold it for £35 at one of the Cheshunt shows Weirdly, I found out recently who bought it back then - and still has it! Needless to say he won't sell it back to me, not even for £70, 100% profit!

It was one of the things I had to have back because as an illustrator and designer I think it's one of the nicest logos ever created And it will look bloody great on display!

This store display was estimated rather low at £40 - £60 but went for £320.

MINE!!!

Big thanks to Cathy for the chat on the phone and to Ian (Palifan) for the heads up on this one as he knows I've been after one for a while

Awesome Pal well done It is a super shop display for sure 8) 8)

Congratulations mate :wink:

thanks Jon!

Yes, it was not too bad (£850), compared with the rest. Still sucks to add 22,5%, but had that in mind while bidding. I live 60 min from where the photo of RS was taken, so it's as close to a norwegian piece you can come.

 

[spoons]

Bomber went £220

Was that reasonable considering rarity/condition?

A reasonable price for essentially a loose bomber and box but still the upper end IMO

 

[spoons]

and congrats on the buys chaps - the display and Palitoy Rebel Soldier are both fantastic pieces

That's fantastic to live so near where they filmed prob the most exciting scenes in the best of the trilogy 8) 8) 8)
If ever I go on a pilgrimage there I will b knocking on ur door

 

[Richard_H]

Just won the bendems

Says sold to floor bidder. So that must mean the people who bid in advance are floor bidders and there may not be lots of people there.

Unless I messed my bid up

Damn there is a very long time to the next star wars auctions

 

[Bonsai_Tree_Ent]

That was quite fun... normally comments on the forum threads build up slowly - but this was more like live blogging!

Does anyone know the date when the next Vectis auction is? And would this be the Wales toy shop find or the Palitoy Death Star find?

 

[Mr. Bob A. Feet]

What happened to the auction, are people still able to view? lunch break!?...its gone down for me and no linkage!...better be back up before my lot comes up!

30th is the shop sale I think!

Edit: Oh well Vectis auction bit is down but I'm live at invaluable.com now, should have been there from the start for more tension!
