Latest Acquisitions

Bit late in updating this one, but got myself a great set of original books from a friend!

Loving the art on the solo and Lando ones!!

Not sure how hard to find any of these are but at under £1 each I was not saying no!!

What a great pickup! And in case you've never read it, I thoroughly recommend 'A Journal of the making of The Empire Strikes Back'. I read it years ago and thought it was brilliant

It's my birthday this Sunday and me and the wife are going away for a well earned weekend in Stratford upon Avon :lol:

So 2 of my kids are working long hours so they plotted with my wife to give me my presents tonight as we were all together, which is rare.

I was really over the moon with what they had bought me.

Got a new Jamie Oliver cook book ( that's 20 now of his in my collection) from my youngest daughter 8)

And my son and eldest daughter bought me this beauty.

Got to say my kids are the best :lol: :lol:

They might not be Toys but this is my latest "Jez inspired" Star Wars pick up etc. Looks like there's two more for me to collect, along with another 80s Classic The Sony Walkman, in order to listen to them

They are amazing, love the artwork 8)

Easing up a bit now on the MOC front with Christmas on the horizon. Managed to get this triple whammy on ebay. Trilogo cardback, Rebel Soldier and Bespin Blaster all items for my side focuses. The Bespin Blaster is for my childhood rebel soldier.

I only remember having the Ewoks Join The Fight one as a little kid but when the podcast played the sound effects for turning the page in a much earlier episode it brought back fond memories

I absolutely love these. I played them to death as a kid. Great pick ups.

Major collecting goal achieved today! It may be just a tatty cheese spread container, but I've been after an ESB Dairylea box for sooooo long. Thank you Sublevel Studios I love it!

Andy, that's an awesome find 8) After one of these myself!

Well done finding it, can't beat the satisfaction of finally acquiring that one piece after years.

I also love my obscure and random little curiosities from pop culture from my childhood like cards, stickers and packets etc, i'm also thinking of starting a vintage cereal toy/freebie collection.

Congratulations! Great pick up

Saw your post on FB Andy. Awesome pick up. Congratulations fella.

Cheers guys, this one's been on my wants list for many years. I love the Dairylea range, I had them as a kid and sent off for the big transfer pack, but I didn't keep any from those days. I know it's only an old cardboard box but I'm just as excited by it as if it was a new 12 back!

Down to my last 2 for a loose run, got my 1st graded one, just Lando general left now

Awesome. Good luck with the final piece in the jigsaw, especially if you're going for a black blaster. I really like the Lando General figure, especially the silky feel of that cape of his.

Crazy delivery from Iain Sanderson!!

The ESB luke and r2 have their pops removed, remainder of the top row were impulse bargains

The Anakin offers bring me up to 19 now and Iain was able to get me the Anakin mailer and case to complement the set!!

Iain you are a star!!!

Some lovely pick ups there Paul.

Lovely pick ups guys

Lucky you, lovley R2 and Luke, are they shaved pops? Can't see from the picture.
A couple of those MOCs have a few different price stickers on.
