[skywalker]

It's round 2 of the beeches toy shop find and the catalogue is up for viewing.

Not as much as the other one, but a few good things.

GOD DAMN..... That box of X-wing's..

I want it..

 

[indianawars]

That's a little disappointing they are selling them as job lot's because its pricing me out I'd love to get my hands on a sealed Snowspeeder and X-wing, but I can't afford a box load!

 

[edd_jedi]

Wow, this is better than the first lot IMO!

I would love one of each (X-Wing, AT-ST and Snowspeeder) so if a few people are up for clubbing together, let me know

I'm in if others are willing to join forces? from what I can see they are boxes of 6 each, so we would need a few more people...

 

[edd_jedi]

I would advise people to treat these more like eBay auctions now that they are so more widely known about, putting in early internet bids just lets people drive the price up. I'm going to wait til nearer the time.

Good idea Edd,, how much do you think the box of X-wing's will go for if we get 6 people together..??

 

[edd_jedi]

To be honest I have no idea what the going rate is for a sealed one but personally I'd be happy to pay £150-£200 each for them, so I would hope that's enough to at least price the scalpers out of buying the cases.

Yeah that's what I thought I would pay £200 so that would be £1200 for the box of 6.

I suppose if we get the six people and all decide what we are happy to pay i.e £200 each bid upto that maximum and no more if we don't win at least we had a go, that way we don't go stupid bidding way over the odd's.

 

[edd_jedi]

Yep, ideally somebody could be there to bid live.

 

[theguiltyone]

Id be happy to club in for an X Wing and Snowspeeder if theres room for one more!

wow - an amazing haul, and so many Han Hoths. I'm at a conference that day otherwise I'd definitely go in person. I'll have to submit a lot of cheeky bids in advance.

Is there any significance in the Dengars with the tri-bubbles on Palitoy backs - they look nice too 8)

 

[Bonsai_Tree_Ent]

This is an interesting lot, at first I was thinking it was a Leia Blonde, but perhaps simply discolouration - any opinions?

Maybe some frosting to the hair? Mind you, the limbs looks a little discolored.

Yeah its a kind of frosting / mold, I had it on the same figure on a ROTJ card apparently if you leave it out in sunlight it gets rid of it..?

 

[spoons]

a desk lamp will get rid of that too

 

[Frunkstar]

Not always, I have a fett with the frosting & its been in the sun on a hot day twice, its better, but by no means has the frosting gone

 

[Lom]

I'm delighted to say that there's nothing there that's blowing my sock off (apart from a couple of things I recognise instantly as unobtainable)!

Having done £400 there yesterday that comes as quite a relief!

Nothing in this auction I want
