I've been wanting to put together a run of "old school rarities" for a little while now as these were the pieces that were revered back in the early days and as a young collector, I always thought how amazing it would be to own even one.
The main pieces were the Tie Bomber, 12 inch IG-88 and the Luke Skywalker AM radio although the Skiff, Sonic controlled landspeeder, A-wing and Sand Crawler were also considered hard to find.
A radio popped up on eBay recently which is the first one I've seen available since I started looking but I put it in the watch list and kept an eye on it.
Then, at this weekends Farthest From one of the vendors had an Iggy for sale so I put an offer in on the radio and said to myself I'll by the doll :wink: if he declines.
An hour or so passed with no reply so pulled the trigger and came back with this beauty:
I was extremely happy to tick one of the three off, especially as I could buy it straight from the dealer which always makes it more fun.
When I got home I had a message saying I'd won this!
So Saturday turned out to be one of the most hardcore days collecting I've ever had, especially since it's been a pretty slow year for me so far. I'm absolutely over the moon.
BTW, if anyone has a bomber for sale please let me know and I'll see if I can clear this run in a week! :lol: :lol:
there was some nice stuff for sale as always but just nothing I fancied.
