Currently doing a bit of travelling in the US... so one stop was Big Fun Toys in Columbus, Ohio.

The guys there were great. Very friendly and chatted for ages. A fair bit of vintage to be had in the way of loose figures and vehicles (mostly incomplete) and some boxed vehicles and a handful of common mocs.

Walked away after about an hour with a small haul that will just about fit in the suitcase.

Added a little something special to the collection today. Off work, so a 200km round trip to collect, but it was definitely worth it.... :D

Nice little haul. Is the Imperial Attack Base instructions by Kenner or Palitoy?

That's a lovely ATAT, don't see many in that condition.
Makes me wonder why it was never played with, what's it story?

Was bought by an adult artist and think he never got round to doing anything with it. Picking up some more bits soon that he made cards for and boxes for the vehicles. Will put on here when I get them!

A few new items that I've added recently, all with a bit of a hairy theme to them!

First up a sealed Palitoy Chewbacca Bandolier Strap, an interesting addition as these weren't generally available in Palitoy packaging or sold in shops in the UK. This has a 49p sticker showing it was in a UK store as an end of line clearance item (presumably left over from the mailaway promotion), and as such is great for my UK focussed collection.

Next a Palitoy Trilogo boxed Mookiee the Ewok, I've been after one of these for ages and really pleased to add this. Unusually this find got some positive feedback from my wife as she had one of these as a child! The sticker shows this to be another Palitoy end of line clearance item.

And finally a boxed Waddingtons Ewoks jigsaw, complete and with the original poster.

Cheers, just off to the grooming parlour!
