Collecting since 1994. Never wanted to pay the market prices for a lose Vinyl Cape Jawa. Now patience paid off, when this little fella popped up on ebay as a buy-it-now for € 300/£ 270 including the card with (correct) open bubble. As I had a code, I only paid € 285 /£ 255.
The last few days were a thrill - until it arrived today I could not be sure, if it was genuine. On the auction picture you could see absolutely nothing. But several parameters let me take the risk. Displays great and I think I won't ever come nearer to a VCJ MOC than this.

What a result!
 
That's a great find and at the price that the AFA loose VCJ's were at for years.

Really good to hear stories like this, especially when they get into the right persons hands :D

Wow that's incredible. Awesome. Really stoked for you.
 
That's an amazing looking Jawa at an unbelievable price. Looks great, you can hardly tell it's been opened. Congratulations!
 
Just catching up on the forum, been off grid doing the North Coast 500 in my camper for the last week and have really missed my forum fix :lol:

Outstanding. Well done
 
What a tremendous pick up that VCJ is! Huge congratulations!!!

Ruby, nice market pick up. Always good to find something in the 'real world'.

Really like all the more oddball stuff being found as well. S1dow, love the books and transfer sets.

Benny, that card has got to be one of the best- she looks amazing!

Andy, the Dairylea stuff is fab- been after these myself. So hard to find!

TheJabbaWookie, that ESB stand is absolutely superb!!!

Got a couple of small bits recently: picked up a couple of diecast bits from gammoguard and a minty Stormie from ebay.

Finally, managed to get hold of a full set of Battlestar Galactica Shreddies scenes. Know they're not SW, but I hope people will appreciate them. Arguably harder to find than the SW ones and often go for crazy prices. Got these for a smidge over £30, so really chuffed. They will make up part of my extended childhood focus.

Nice pick ups guys! Bought this jawa recently, 41back. It's a bit different, it comes with the Han blaster instead of Jawa one

Another item I never managed to get as a youngster. Couldn't resist this one.

Some gum stickers from Turkey made by Kent I believe. Don't know much more about them. I know this isn't a complete set, so if anyone has any I don't have I'm open to trade.

This arrived this morning. Dinged card and a small crack in the bubble but good enough for me.
