Yay! I love a Grammy ... and a Heineken! PM coming

Heineken?

I've been very fortunate to pick up a few good pieces in 2019, but I think this is my favourite. I love the wallpaper, had it in my bedroom as a kid so this is a very meaningful item.

I for one really enjoyed it. Sure it’s not perfect, but after the mess that was TLJ it stands as a very worthy end to the saga. Most unresolved plot threads are wrapped up (and some new ones left hanging - Palpatine had offspring??), there were some great character moments, I thought Carrie was exce...

My 2019 goals: 1. A couple more significant U.K. store display pieces; 2. The elusive Helix 10 fibre tip pens set; 3. The pieces I need to finish my Westbrook birthday cards, Frankel & Roth bags, and/or Deeko party ware runs; 4. An original trilogy prop or cast & crew item; 5. Some great memories fr...

FF was fantastic as always! I picked up some great items, and there was lots of amazing vintage goodies for sale. Lovely to see Dave’s Palitoy store display, and the talk on retro gaming was really good. As others have said though, the highlight is always the chance to catch up with good friends and...

Now sorted thanks

Hi, is anyone at the Propstore auction, who could pick up an item (maybe a couple depending on what I might win tomorrow!) and bring it to Farthest From, please?

Thanks in anticipation!

Just received this, best thing I’ve picked up in a long time! It’s the vintage plush Chewbacca, in great condition, and the bandolier is still attached with the plastic tag. I’m surprised how big it is, must be 2 feet tall. This one came from a guy in the UK, so although it has a Kenner label, it mu...

This turned up today; it’s amazing how happy a tatty old box makes me! Trebor cherry chew box from 1977.

Love this Lom, congratulations! A real rarity. Love these old SW boxes. I didn’t miss the bubblegum box behind as well!

I’ll add my thanks Edd for all the work you put in behind the scenes to keep this place running. It’s still home, just got the decorators in at the moment, looking forward to seeing the new paintwork when you’re finished!

Great find Grant, congratulations!

The Imperial Troop Transporter was definitely available in the ESB era. Like the Darth Vader TIE Fighter and Snowspeeder, it was re-released by Palitoy in 1982 in a different box (the difference being the addition of the Bounty Hunter logos on the packaging). These box variations are reasonably comm...

It's worth mentioning that some of the toys were not released in the UK (other than the odd few that may have been imported), only in America and some other territories. Items like the Dewback and Sandcrawler, the electronic X-wing, the Kenner variants of the 3 Star Wars playsets, the Tatooine Skiff...

It’s been a Topps week for my collection! Managed to pick up not only a good upgrade for my British 1st series store display box, but also the elusive 2nd series box, which I’ve been after for years. That one needed a bit of fixing up, but it’s come out very well. Really pleased to have one at last....
