Latest Acquisitions

I hope you'll forgive me for sharing a latest acquisition, which came this morning and made me very happy. It's not vintage but as many of you know I collect British Star Wars posters as well as the toy line. This one may barely be six months old but believe me it is a modern grail. It is the UK Imax The Force Awakens theatrical poster, with the December 17th release date. It is not only a beautiful image but also very rare (with only around 30 Imax venues in England). I hope you like it!

Some amazing pieces being listed in the thread over the last month.
The White footer Han is crazy. So many awesome Palitoys.
Loving the odd trousered Han Hoth.
Such a great mix of items. Apologies for dropping the mega long posts. simply can't do it anymore.
Alas, still no MOCs for me in 2016, but i'll have a couple of pieces to show after CE3 i'm sure.

Keep it up guys

EDIT: Sweet poster

Lovely poster, definitely iconic.

Happy to find one of these with all stickers intact and working electronics

Nice TIE and great photo too

Really tasty Hoth Stormtrooper ^

Today I've bagged a loose Yak Face, Blue Snag, a UKG 85 Taiwan Fett, and an AFA 75 MOC R2-D2, so it's been a good day.

new addition arrived today

In case you missed my post, here's the amazingly generous haul I've been sent by the kind members of this forum. For sure my favourite ever acquisition

Picked up a few long wanted items this last month.

First, is a store display header for the Drawing Board line of party items for ROTJ. I have vague memories of a display near the entrance of the local TRU when I was a kid for the ROTJ party items, but had never seen a display for them. I either really wanted a ROTJ birthday party or just loved the duel art. It was 3 years ago when I finally saw one of these headers that another collector owned and I finally found one for sale about a month ago. Now, I've got to load up on some of the ROTJ party pieces that go with it.



2nd, are two Lando coin pieces. The left is the frosted Lando prototype coin which was an idea being pitched to help make the details more pronounced on the coins. It is assumed this was not done because it requires striking the coin blank twice for this effect, which would in turn double the time to produce each coin. The one on the right is a variant on the production coin which has some different positioning of the stars and text. Based on some information from another collector, there are 3 different dies used for the Lando coins, so 3 produced variants exist like this.

Some great pick ups as usual - loving that display Shawn

This is something a bit different - and unlike most of my posts in here - not MOC!

I saw it while trawling through eBay the other day - I probably over paid a bit but ever since I had the chance to look through Chris G's amazing collection and see some of the paperwork connected with the toys then I have been inspired to find some myself



So this actually came from someone that worked for a company selling masks and novelties - Don Post had the contract to make the Star Wars masks and this was their promotional material for the new range

So you have the intro letter from Don Post



The reservation form for ROTJ flyers



A letter from Lucasfilm introducing the movie



And then a colour matte and a black and white glossy picture of the masks together with the prices




Apparently they were told not to leave them behind as only a limited run was done

I think that they look really cool and at some point will try and add some of the masks into my collection to go with this

Truly some amazing stuff guys, love it.
