£46, mim Paploo, was sold cheap as it had the hole in the back of the card behind the bubble :lol:


Massive bargain you would be lucky to pick him up loose for that.

Delighted to put these both up. AT-AT driver £40 from Daz at Echo Live, PD was £49 all in at Vectis

When you didn't even haggle I knew I should have put more on my AT-AT Driver! Glad he's gone to good home mate!
 
Unpunched Pruney for 50 quids

Nice, been looking for one of those with the trilogo bubble :)
 
Madine tastic! Whilst we're on the subject then, here's my recent purchase of the grey man from eBay.

First off, a disclaimer: He cost £51 all in and that was only after a) I used a Nectar voucher (promo thing where you got half your points back) and b) the seller sent me back a tenner (which I didn't ask for) because the packaging was a complete and utter joke. Jiffy bag standard. So it's a bit of a cheat, really, but he ended up costing me £51 ;)

My first Clipper and about as close as I'll get to a European Madine any time soon:

Grey suit, grey beard & hair, grey staff, and a grey personality :lol:

Very nice condition card you have there and for a good price. 8)
 
That is a great buy Si, and wish I hadnt dithered on Rich's ATAT driver now :mrgreen:

I've just gone back through the whole of this thread and it is astounding what you can still get for less than £50. Highlights have to be Edd's ROTJ Star Destroyer Commander back at the start and any of the Stormies (whay can I never find one!) altohugh Lee Gregory's £12.50 one may never be beat 8)

Rob Marsh's Chewie is also outstanding - absolute cracker for £40

I think Scott's post sums the whole thread up and why there is no need for repro cards ever - a whole run of Jabba's goons all for less than £50 each. That's not far off black series prices :wink:

Aye aye cap'n.

This is a project I've been working on for about a year so it still counts. The full run of jabbas goons on jedi cards.

About half were from Iain and the rest from eBay and Toy fairs, all under 50 notes and an average price of just over £30.

Some bargains galore on these pages. Cracking stuff. Partially opened (figure has been out) Palitoy 20 Back with original weapon and footer, unpunched.

Partially opened (figure has been out) Palitoy 30 Back with original weapon still stuck to bubble! Unpunched.

£95 for the pair so both fall into this category!

Delighted!

Nice pickups there Jez, the Leia blaster alone can go for £50+ so to have the figure, card & bubble too for under £50 is a great price. Nice Greedo too well done. 8)
 
That Clipper GM is a blinder. Slight rename of thread beaded "£50, or near enough" 8)
 
Best score I've had for a while :) the card is a bit warped but I think I can sort it out. Will post an updated photo when I've attempted flattening it

That is one of the things I always wonder, why still you can find vintage MIB vehicles still to an affordable price and the only answer I find is they were produced by the millions all around the world.
 
Very nice condition card too for that Luke once you flatten it out.

Iv'e heard years ago that introducing a little steam to put some moisture back in the card before you flatten it out can help bring it back to it's normal form, i'm not sure if that can damage the colours in it or not though.

Wow I didn't know that either. What a great fact.
 
The first Kenner 20 backs also had weapons on their hands as well.
I believe that the weapons were taped to the bubble on Kenner cards from ESB onwards?

Got a couple of Mocs in for only $35 each.
I've always loved the slightly grimy retail look of cards like this with all the offer stickers and catalogue/ shop price tags, they for me, become more of an art piece and more attractive for it, and tell more of a story, but then I am a bit mad :D nice pick up apack
 
I also love the price stickers especially the Mervyns which is why I picked these up. I have an imperial commander cardback with at least 11 different price stickers on it.
 
First post in here from me for a while - £38 got me this slightly rough and ready Lando Skiff MOC this week
