Congrats @spoons @alisdairmac

Alisdairmac has been very busy. I do like a mini rig and that INT=4 with the WHS sticker is great. Really like Carl's pick-ups too, lovely Boba and two-pack and the Kaybee bag is special.

I don't seem to be buying anything other than Landspeeders recently - here's a 12 back Harbert to go with my 21. They are identical from the front but I am a completist. A bit tatty but they don't come around often.

It must be Harbert month. Odd thats its called a hovercraft scooter. I think all the other Harbert diecast have italian translations of the english names, is that correct??

Thanks all - and Alisdair it is odd but I'd guess that hovercraft and scooter are both used in Italian, so it is a translation of sorts?

According to Google translate, the direct Italian interpretation of Land Speeder would have been 'Acceleratore Di Terra' which sounds a little less like it was conceived by a 4 year old (although nowhere near as much fun).

Ha ha

Collins shows both words as being Italian too, I think using the 'English' Italian words would have pleased the kids

Great Landspeeder, as I've mentioned before I like the Harbert logo,

Nice round up Carl.
Where is Jez's to do his round up?
Busy fighting and keeping the peace you say..well that's ok then.

I'm not a loose collector, but like to put small loose runs together.
Today I completed my loose Luke run with a Luke battle poncho.

Will do after FF, as although I own the 7, unfortunately Luke Hoth is still with TK 7785.
I will be collecting this at FF in Dec and will get a picture up then.
