Got talking with a lad I train jiu jitsu with in the gym, had changed my Facebook cover recently to a SW related picture. He was interested in why, got telling him that I was a bit of a vintage collector, loose figures etc...
Straight away he says that he reckoned he had some old Star Wars stuff buried away and that I was more than welcome to it as he has no interest in keeping it....
So now I'm very excited to see what he has....

True to his word, he sent me a photo...

"Found these so far, I have loads more figures, including ships in my mother's house. I will dig it out soon and you are welcome to it"

Meeting him during the week so can't wait to see what he unearths :D

Now that would be something....

Over the moon, just received a message from him to say about training during the week and he added....

"oh yeah, by the way, I meant to say, I have a bag of those figures for you".....

:D

Awesome. Free stuff is always good. Always wanted to have that opportunity

Best I've managed is a free rancor from a kid in the first school I taught in!

I know right?! This is cool!

We go on about dreams of finding old shop stock, but these sort of finds are much more likely to be the sort of thing that really could happen. So excited for you :D

So, finally met up with my mate from the Gym tonight. He told me that he had some stuff out in the car. Hands me a bag of figures, all original childhood figures he explained. I didn't really get a chance to look into it as it was dark and lashing rain!
Came home to discover this lot :shock:
