The scout walker was the piece that got me back into collecting again, thanks to my son who bought me one for Christmas 2017 :D

It's been a Topps week for my collection! Managed to pick up not only a good upgrade for my British 1st series store display box, but also the elusive 2nd series box, which I've been after for years. That one needed a bit of fixing up, but it's come out very well. Really pleased to have one at last.

Love these SW cards boxes and I remember them well growing up and using my 10p pocket money to pick up 2 packets each week. Thankfully swaps for these were easy to come by in the playground so I managed to complete the blue series and almost all of the red series which I still own.

I can still smell the pink bubble gum to this day :D

topps blue sets so much a part of my childhood memories and playground swappsies , don't forget the powdery taste of the gum , most of the few I have from childhood show the evidence of gluing them to my bedroom wall to make the large sw poster on the back of some of them :)

First pick up for me in quite a while. A nice Bespin guard with bubble still attached. Just need to go in the loft at the weekend to find my loose figures to add him back in for display.

If any one has any original bubbles spare let me know or also interested in more Palitoy cards with bubble. Cheers Mark

It's been a good (expensive) month this month. I got the 2 harbert stickered mini rigs this month. They make a nice complement to the edilio parodi and general Mills import stickered rigs I already had.

Love the Bespin guard card and bubble Mark, great pick up will look super when you forage in the attic and rehome your figure
Look forward to seeing him completed

Those Mini rigs look great!

Recently embarked on a book buying trip.
Managed to find all 7 Han Solo novels with the Hungarian cover art.
1. Han Solo Hadjárata (Han Solo At Stars' End)
2. Han Solo Bosszúja (Han Solo's Revenge)
3. Han Solo Küldetése (Han Solo And The Lost Legacy

and the infamous bootlegs

4. Han Solo Nomádjai (Han Solo At Doomsday's Edge)
5. Han Solo A Birodalmi Ügynök (Han Solo's Gambit)
6. Han Solo És A Fejvadászok (Han Solo And The Bounty Hunters)
7. Han Solo Háborúja (The War Of Han Solo)

Also managed to pick up some other movie novelisations (A New Hope, Empire, Jedi, E.T, Close Encounters, Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Star Trek I & II, The Black Hole). I also got some duplicates of the above which I'll be offering at Farthest From.

That's quite a collection of Han Solo books. Not seen these before. Thanks for sharing

Alisdairmac has been very busy. I do like a mini rig and that INT=4 with the WHS sticker is great. Really like Carl's pick-ups too, lovely Boba and two-pack and the Kaybee bag is special.

I don't seem to be buying anything other than Landspeeders recently - here's a 12 back Harbert to go with my 21. They are identical from the front but I am a completist. A bit tatty but they don't come around often.

It must be Harbert month. Odd thats its called a hovercraft scooter. I think all the other Harbert diecast have italian translations of the english names, is that correct??
