Yes there were some boxed one up on eBay last night but they went for high prices - will get some though - especially those in the pictures

Went to the local booty today and found a stall selling collectables so knew I was going to pay higher prices, bought some di cast items then noticed some star wars. After some haggling managed to get the below all for £14, for old school me a lot of money but don't think its so bad with todays prices.
Funny thing was the c3p0 was in a sealed plain bag (please don't tell me its some unknown to me Kenner . palitoy sealed baggy as its now liberated). I have been after a fixed limb c3p0 as I only ever had the removable limb one so was trying to see if the limbs came off through the heat sealed bag the lady would not let me open it so had to guess through the "gate of the legs", it was fixed and managed to haggle £10 to £7 but had to have it. Cards were a £1 and I love the underlining on the back under the figs that I used to do , got , got ,got Boot sales rule the fun is in the hunt

Fixed limbs c-3po in a sealed Baggie and you opened it?

[bosk70]

Don't panic maxf limbs are very loose and rivet rusty with some wear, looks like its seen active duty before, if I was in any doubt I would not have opened it, bag was a thick guage heat sealed bag heavy duty plastic like the bags sand comes in at wicks so think I am ok

[maxf]

Haha - good to hear! Hopefully frank doesn't have to add the 'wickes builders sand bag' variant to his catalogue!

[bosk70]

Or does he had me worried for a bit there

Totally agree mate

Well it's Saturday, it's sunny and it's my Birthday

Lovely mix of SW presents old and new -

Daughter got me this beautiful Vader TIE - never had one as a kid but seeing it now I think it looks amazing and it finishes off my top shelf of vehicles perfectly

Wife got me this minty Squid Head MOC and Admiral Ackbar baggie as well as the Palitoy X Wing insert - everyone thinks it's funny that I'm loosing my shit over "genuine" old cardboard

[bosk70]

Room looks amazing Colin, really nice display, and nice additions, especially the vintage cardboard should I keep the baggie
