Ok guys so here is my latest acquisition and the reason I had to sell the Imperial Set. I picked this baby up from the depot yesterday and I am literally over the moon. It is a second series Bespin Set Quality Control Sample. Quality Control Samples were random samples taken off the production line to test the quality of the items and make sure that they met the standards expected.

This example has been signed by Don Huler in 9/11/81 - So that would be the 11th of Sept 1981. At present, I only know of two quality control sample 3 packs. This one and a Star Wars Creature Set QC Sample so you can understand why I am so chuffed.

I think realistically this will spell a real slowing down and a potential break from collecting for me for a little while. I want to try and focus on a few other things in my life. Of course if any 3 pack preproduction does turn up I will be out of hiding like a shot!

I will update my limelight when I get my SLR camera back but in the meantime enjoy!

Thanks, Chris.

Fantastic pick ups there Liam.Well done mate. Looks like you had a great time! Disappointed I couldnt make it this time. Looks like Gary sorted out a few few folk with some top deals too. It would be great to see some more pics posted on this thread.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Thanks for the kind words Jez, Del and Chris

 

[timbo72]

Awesome 3 pack Chris :shock:

 

[Lee77]

Some great pick ups as always.
Chris, the 3 pack is epic. I'm glad that one of only 2 known samples ended up in your collection. Shame that your taking a little break but I guess with the cost of the 3 packs, they're not the easiest things to buy. Congratulations mate. Still hope to see you at shows though!
Liam, great haul mate. It was nice to finally meet you and your dad yesterday. I saw your purchases in the flesh and you've got some top items there. I'm glad you like the Yoda too. It was one if those items that I was torn about selling but I'm glad it's gone to a good home.
Had a great day at MEM yesterday. Met a couple of people which was nice. Purchase wise, I only found one moc that I needed towards my jedi run, although I was tempted by a 12 back Dsc from Lee!
It's a CCP on a Palitoy Jedi card, that came from Jim, whose stall was awesome.
I think I've got around 20 mocs of the 65 still to track down.

 

[Caswellbot]

That is one very clean Cloud Car Pilot Lee well done. Another fantastic addition to your run mate. That must be looking awesome right now. Uh Hum Group Shot please! :wink:
