Your Vintage Acquisition of 2013

This is a bit of a cheat as technically I haven't got this yet (but I know it's hidden away in the house somewhere waiting for my birthday)

Wanted a Troop Transporter for ages, never had one as a kid so delighted when I got the chance to pick this up.

OMG!!

It was featured in a comic from back in the day?

I never knew that!!

Damn I did also know it has been in a comic :shock:

Blue Snag. Since learning of the existence of Blue Snag around 1990 I've always wanted one

Some awesome items there guys. Its been a good year for many. Bravo

For me it was my upgrade for my 12 Back Luke, something i wanted to upgrade for quite Awhile before i Pulled the Trigger.

Cracking luke card there Dennis..... 8)

Some fantastic pick ups there, pieces to drool at, love the Luke cards Jeff, blue snag is lovely Barry, Iain that Leia card is beautiful. Love the Mec box x wing Lars, added sweetness that it has the Danish stickers...congrats on that..so many fantastic pieces guys

For me, as I also cllect with my son, it has to be a minnow in comparison with all of the amazing pieces on this thread, but it's the AtAt we picked up for little money...granted...not amazing but was to us

Great thread

Not strictly vintage but this is mine, have been after one for ages:

Some really great items for 2013 everyone! I managed to find some great pieces that I've been wanting for a long time, but I guess if I had to narrow it down to just one, it'd be finally getting a proto coin album as it is a piece the bridges between the coin focus and the mail away focus. Also, it is something that I've wanted for a long time, but was always chasing something else when one would come up for sale.

My whole collection is 2013!! :lol:

SW logo unused X Wing with all inserts!!!

No love for die casts on here, but I love this piece (touch ups n all!):

the palitoy diecast is v cool slider 8)

This year is the one i managed to get a nice cabinet to finally show of my collection, and started buying some carded examples, for me these figures are like old friends, good to see them on display

Some top items guys, for me it has to be the EB set still need upgrade an A type baggie for R2 though!

Awesome items people. This is my favourite pick up of the year. Its a Mock-Up used at the Toy Fair back in 1983 I believe, basically its a ROTJ 65 back proof with a hand applied bubble and production figure. I think Jordon H was the person that unearthed this and few other characters back in the day.

Thats freaking sweet Grant. Very nice mate. 8)

grant - interesting find! nice 8)

Hey chaps and chapettes, didn't add much to my ESB collection this year, I'm more of a budget player so try to be shrewd, anyhow picked these 2 up for the right price, I don't care for AFA but I threw a bid in and won much to my amazement, was a bonus that they're both offerless.
Happy Crimbo and lucky new year. (Taken with my crumby cameraphone so not such a great image soz.)
