[QUOTE="bosk70, post: 558297, member: 5890"] Told the story before on here but managed to snag three unopened empire atst and one empire slave one unopened for £5 each(total£20) at the local market shop in about 1993, the same shop where i used to buy figs for for a £1 back in the early 80's, think they had cleared a cupboard out, they had loads of cheap ships and figs back in the 80's in rows of boxes on the floor crammed with carded mostly Jedi back then. I only had a £10 on me at the time so rushed home burning rubber in my vw beetle to get the other £10. Made it back the two other boxes were still there , i casually said to the girl at the counter , don't suppose you have any more of this type of stuff knocking about. She didn't know but never saw anymore in there after that but i always popped in for a quick look till they closed some years later. Arrr the good old days Course i opened them as soon as i got home, but knew enough not to open the bags etc..... it was 1993 :D:D [/QUOTE]
