[QUOTE="Robstyley, post: 558554, member: 6009"] I’ve had some pretty good ones over the years but one that always springs to mind. About thirteen years ago when I’d only been collecting for a few years and I was putting together my loose set. I was visiting my motherland of Essex and having a bod around Southend one day. Went down to Westcliff where I lived in the 90’s and went in a few charity shops. Ended up in proper junk/2nd hand shop full of all sorts of crap and electrical items etc. Looked around and spied on a shelf amongst a load of tat an absolutely perfect clean white Stormtrooper, just standing there. Grabbed it and said to the old bloke behind the counter - how much? And he goes - 99p mate. I couldn’t get the quid out my pocket fast enough! It is still the main front and centre Stormy in my loose cabinet. The black paint on it is perfect, it’s mint. And it means all the more because it was found in a junk shop in Westcliff 😊 [/QUOTE]
