And an unhelpful twat as well:

We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws.

****ing spastic.

He is an odd one and not very easy to buy things from. I am suprised he has a best offer option as he never haggles. Most things he has are stacked to the ceiling in an old barn either getting stepped on or crushed. Vintage stuff laying everywhere, even old ships shoved in the rafters. Waiting for the estate sale...not that I wish death upon anyone. :wink:

It's sold!! So someone must need 36 x B Wing Pilots!! :lol:

Probably after the shipping box....flip the carded figures. More money for Bill to cram **** in his barn.

It's one expensive box!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Imagine if it was a box of Palitoy logo MOC's :shock:

Yeah, not the most desirable mod but still… :shock: Pretty cool sight. Also, isn't that a pretty good deal? $44 a pcs it works out at. :?

yeah that considering you don't have to pay import fees, because if someone from over her ebought it, we probably still had to pay something equal to 300-400usd import fees.....

Well it has a new home now (thanks to a bit of help from the main man, Todd)

Never seen so many of the same MOC before and surprisingly they are all in pretty good shape. The box is marked as 96 pieces but can't see how they'd all fit.

Pete is right - even after postage I paid about $1600 for the lot which works out to be about £27.00 each - considering a loose B-wIng Pilot and Coin would probably fetch around that mark then I reckon I did OK.

I won;t be splitting them up though - and do have the added bonus of the shipping box as well

Congrats on the purchase. Maybe a silly question but like you say how would 96 pieces fit in (scratch head)?

Does anyone find it odd that the box states "Return of the Jedi" and not "Power of the Force"?

Wow, nice one Iain. 8)
They're very cool but can you really justify owning £1000 worth of B-Wing pilots??? :lol: :lol:

I was wondering that about the logo as well - maybe they used the same boxes ? Does anyone know of any other shipping cases of POTF figures ?

Definitely can't see how there were 96 in there though

Haha - good point Pete - I already have a packing case of 6 x Jabba Playsets - they don't display that well but they are a cool piece of vintage history - and probably better then owning a single carded figure worth £1000
