Cool story bro !!

That's brilliant.

I only remember being bought 1 figure by one of my grandmas, and that was Klaatu. Having a carded Fett turn up with that backstory is really special.

All my collection was sold in the 80s, but in the early 90s I found a single hoth backpack in with my lego. That's the nearest I've got to a cool story! :lol:

This is brilliant Dave. Absolutely stoked for you, not being a MOC collector, to only have one then this is pretty special one to have, even more so by the wonderful back story to the item. The stories are what make collecting great. Congrats.

Your cousin should have asked you if there was something you wanted from the lot before selling the lot and should also have offered to share the money from the sale with you.

But what a great story about how you got that boba moc and it looks fantastic, thanks for sharing it :wink: and since your cousin did not share the lot with you then I guess it is also fair not to share the boba with your cousin :wink:

That is cool. Cheers Dave and great sort of find!

Great story & your Nan is Supergran,thanks for sharing!

Excellent!!!

That's the best Christmas story since Scrooged. Bloody brilliant. Worthy of it's own pedestal and display case, I reckon!

Oh, and I'd be striking my cousin off my Christmas card list for sure. What a git!

Amazing story and photos! So nice to hear that things like this still happen. In case you aren't aware there are many fakes of these around from Toy Toni (Google it if you've never heard the story) but yours looks like the real deal. The fakes in circulation (usually with the wrong 'tri-logo' figure inside) make legit ones more desirable, so even in that condition it's probably worth £800-1000. Nice one

Great story mate!! What a figure to get!!

What an epic story, and of all the Star Wars figures for it to have been. After all it could of been a Klaatu :lol:

Congratulations. I should imagine that was the best present ever or at least since you were a young nipper.

Wow. Great story. My nan and grandad would never buy me Star Wars or Action Man stuff. They always said "Playing with dolls is for girls".
