Latest Acquisitions

Got these in today. Got damaged on a corner in shipping and the seller was a douche but they're neat nonetheless.

Think its around 5 years This place kicked off my Jawa habit. Met a lot of wonderful (and weird) people along the way.

One of the pieces I have spent those 5 years looking for made it into my possession today.

12bk Meccano Jawa - about 60% sealed. Rarer than the Meccano VCJ - so very happy to chalk this one off.

Looking forwards to many more years

A very rare item indeed.
Congratulations and well done in adding this to your Jawa collection.

TK, those MOCs are fab! Bubbles are superb and gotta love an ESB AT-AT Driver 8)

Nick, that Jawa is incredible :shock: 8)

Apack, those Valentine's cards are really cool- never seen them before.

Curtailing my spending this month isn't going so well. But my MOC collection is loving the attention! :lol: Whilst trying to complete my movie approprite, Kenner cardback only run I have accidentally started an Endor related MOC side focus.

A great Tri of MOCs Chris.
The biker Scout and an AT driver are amongst my favourite figure/cardback combinations.
Congratulations

How random are those cards!
Star Wars and Valentine's Day :?
Such a shame about the damage, but they still display great.

Thanks. At least they're still sealed but they are a weird set.

I've just had a really close read of the boxes, these are for school kids, right?
Did/ do you really take Valentines cards in to school for class mates and teachers???
They get weirder by the minute!

We give them out to the whole class and sometimes the teachers. Not just people we like. We also make boxes to put the valentines in. I'll take the weirder part but I'll have to make sure not to give you one otherwise you might think differently of me. :lol:

god love that jawa!!

A couple more additions to my trilogo bubble Palitoy run

Some really nice MOC being acquired at the moment, love all of them and that Jawa is amazing. Nice Palitoy additions as well Edd, you certainly have an eye for good condition items.

Picked this fella up battered reseal but I think a good place holder till I can afford a better version

Nice pick up Coomber 8)

Went to my local flea market and actually found some stuff. Yoda was my best pick up for only $5.

After months of not buying much at all, I finally pulled the trigger on a Princess Leia Organa Kenner 12 B back. I've had the Kenner 12 A and C for a while, but I had been dragging my feet on this one. It's not that noticeable of a variation except for the text on the back, but being a focus collector, that never stopped me before, so I guess I had to buy it sooner or later. Slightly curved card back with mild creasing on the corner, but the bubble is very nice.



Popped into a GW acrylic case, it flattens the card and really makes it look better.
