Bought this beauty from "Indianawars" on this forum. Kind of a grail for me after i had one from Santa in Christmas 83 or 84. Still have her in my figure collection less her right hand :? .

 

[user 5830]

For me it was being able to land a grail; now please forgive the term, I know it's often over used and made meaningless, but I really thought I'd never see one of these in hand, with original blaster, let alone get to add it to my Han Solo collection... Trem endous item that despite its ugliness is to me a real vintage beauty.

Old pic from the day it arrived, it looks much better now its had a VERY careful wipe clean

 

[Darth Bobby]

Still very happy with this little villain...

 

[Robstyley]

My Han Trench Coat MOC. My only MOC, but he was my favourite as a kid and still love it today.

 

[Hooch]

That Cyclops Dengar looks so cool Poncho
For me this Ewoks Game cube stands out as the best. I just love the colours on the box

[roundster]

Picked up quite a bit this year but think this one is my fav!
Love the gunner pic!

 

[tobedesu]

In light of recent circumstances I'm very pleased to have bought this on the forum.

 

[SOJ]

Here's mine, my only vintage pick up from celebration. Celebration was such a great weekend, not only is the MOC special cause I've always wanted a 30 back, it's a great reminder of one the best Star Wars experiences I've ever had.

 

[theforceuk]

Mine was a Kenner 47 back Tie Fighter pilot of eBay, great condition on auction and I won it for £100 less than I thought I would.

Great thread by the way.

pictures buddy? show us the goodness

Here you go I've been getting lazy with pictures lately, so thanks for the nudge. :lol:

Basically got him for an ungraded price, very pleased with him.

 

[Bunglebubs]

This is mine

 

[spoons]

love it so much diversity lads

keep it coming lets celebrate

There really is a load of diversity. A really difficult one for me. I picked up a lot of die cast, a fantastic Meccano baggie Han Hoth but I think this little gold micro chap wins it for me. The test stormtrooper

 

[stormcab]

My Vinyl Cape Jawa , no my Star Wars 3 pack , I can't decide so bollox both

I remember that Jawa. Great price due to the stain. The only way many will ever come to being able to afford one. I wonder if there is any kind of procedure that can sort those stains out. Some sort of laser or light that gets rid of it, like sun gets rid of frosting.

I've not really bought anything this year but unfortunately had to sell circa 100 moc's and have now had to dispand my Amanaman focus.
Your probably bored of hearing about it and not quite Star Wars but I did however add this little piece of history to my collection which if it existed was a grail item for me.
This unopened 41 year old bottle of champagne was given out at the launch of Palitoy's Finished Goods Warehouse in Ashby which my Granddad designed.
Not only is it possibly the only remaining bottle opened or unopened but the significance of this actual bottle is that it was the actual bottle given to the architect, my Granddad and hopefully will remain in the family for a further 41 year's eventually passing on to my daughter.

 

[reddogblues]

As others have said, due to recent events, I would have to say this really nice 12 Back A:

 

[poncho]

so much greatness its all amazing such range.

keep it coming. lurkers, newbies dont be shy come on

podcast boys? what about you

 

[Dr_Ball_MD]

It was a tough one, I finally got a VCJ last year but this was my favourite pickup

 

[peekaygee73]

Struggling to narrow it down, but my four favourite purchases were: A Palitoy boxed Imperial Troop Transporter; an ESB 20-back Kenner Death Squad Commander MOC; a boxed Palitoy Land of the Jawas; and a 12-back Kenner die-cast TIE Fighter MOC.

I'm really struggling to pick from those four, but it's probably the DSC as I think ESB 20-backs look fantastic! Tomorrow it'll probably be one of the others! :lol:
