Think this should be a sticky Edd so everyone can post their latest buys?

cocofstar · Nov 11, 2006

Here are a couple of pics of my latest buys :arrow:

Jawa Sandcrawler, been after one of these for ages.

Imperial Cruiser (Sears Exclusive). Complete pain in the ass to find...

Compariosn shot of the Imperial trooper transporter - 1978 and the Imperial Cruiser (Sears exclusive) - 1981

Some nice vehicles there.

Wish i'd known you were after a sandcrawler.

I have a spare.

here's my latest buy, a set of 5 afa graded figures off ebay:

i'm very happy with them, the esb 32 back r2-d2 is an afa 90 and i reckon is worth a good chunk of what i paid for all 5!

Bollux · Nov 11, 2006

I am too embarassed to show you my latest purchase as he hardly deserves showcasing.

A loose squidhead for £1.25....not quite the same as a sandcrawler and AFA stuff....

edd_jedi · Nov 11, 2006

it's not about the money mate, some of my cheapest items are the ones i'm most proud of, especially if they're a bargain. there's nothing clever about paying the market value for something

i only bought those to sell most of them as it was a good price for the lot.

Bollux · Nov 11, 2006

cool, cheers Edd.
Well its one more loose figure ticked off my list anyway

I agree, like you Bollux those kind of items are out of my league I only collect what I can afford. One of my favourite buys was my lili-ledy Yoda for £15 8)

though that is a nice set ed - are you prepared to say what you paid :?:

Nice vehicles too coco - I too would love a sand crawler

edd_jedi · Nov 11, 2006

all 5 were £500, which is way more than i usually spend in a single hit, but the r2-d2 must be worth half that. so i'm keeping him and 3-po, and selling the other 3.

Bollux · Nov 11, 2006

£500! :shock:

I appreciate that they are worth that much but I could never begin to pay that out! My fiance would kill me! that would seriously dent the honeymoon budget!

sith-smith · Nov 11, 2006

I agree with edd.

It's not the value of the figure that should make it worthy of praise of showing off. It's whether it's one that you wanted, that you managed to get.

sith-smith · Nov 11, 2006

Oh and in answer the pm's I received on the sancrawler

I have a few spare :lol:

Not sure on price though or condition. I know two are complete and boxed. ( one of those is in my collection.)

I think another has part missing off the remote control.

The final one I don't think has a reote at all.

I will have a look

Bollux · Nov 11, 2006

There we go then!

my Ã'Â£1.25 squidhead!

sith-smith · Nov 11, 2006

One less to get....nice one.

41 Back ESB Stormtrooper

77 Back ROTJ AFA80 Stormtrooper

Cheers Daz

sith-smith · Nov 11, 2006

How did you guys get those small pics?

Bollux · Nov 11, 2006

Warrachupins are thumbnails linked to his album, mine is just a small pic so i could upload it quicker

cocofstar · Nov 11, 2006

WOW :shock: You lot have been busy :wink:

Some really nice items on here so far. Ã'Â£500 for those AFAs is a great price Edd, you'd easily make that back on individual sales :wink:

warrachuppin · Nov 11, 2006

This is the only way I know how to link my pics, dont know if its a worse or better way.

Daz

spoons · Nov 11, 2006

Daz - this site only accepts thumbnails from webshots, which I've only just realised

I've started to move my pics to photobucket instead but it doesn't really matter either way - thumbnails take up less room

my Ã'Â£1.25 squidhead!

thats great,looks in great condition as well,i believe if your patient you dont have to spend crazy money to get a mint loose collection

craignwo4life · Nov 11, 2006

Ã'Â£1.25 is a great price for a Squid Head, especially a complete one. 8)

Bollux · Nov 11, 2006

I had a nice minty one but he was missing his "skirt" and the weapon was a repro which i didnt realise at the time!

so i got one for 1.25 that wasnt brilliant and just used the "skirt" and weapon..

he looks as good as the day he was opened!

I know its not a rare figure or anything but I am happy with him

thanks for the support guys, i was beginning to worry that if I wasnt spending hundreds or had a massive collection that i wouldnt fit in.

None of us can compete with Sith Smith so don't worry about it!! :wink:

Having said that I'm wondering if Edd has won the lottery recently as he has been busy buying a few items!! :lol:
