I trust all guys and girls here :)except that leia character a couple of years back. I just wanted to mention it if it was an ebay auction not getting burned there. Looks really close on my screen hehe. I apologize.

no worries at all Rawlin - no appology needed  

were all here to watch each others back as far as I am concerned - I am just glad to see that you are keeping a eye out for Larry  

thanks for letting me know about the vader I thought it looked like a Ledy one that's why I went for it. The seller just said it was a vintage vader the saber looked like it was thicker in the photo so it was a good score as I was wanting a ledy vader. And thanks again for keeping an eye out there Rawlin and to you also James for checking out the stuff that was sent to you for me much appreciated. I will see if there are any letters on the ledy vader

Some new "Euro" variants for my growing collection....



Stormtrooper (PBP) COO#9
Greedo - Deep Scar (PBP) COO#3
Luke Skywalker Hoth - Pink Face (Tri-Logo/Meccano) COO#4



Boba Fett pK/pD (Tri-Logo) COO#5
Boba Fett upK/pD (Tri-Logo) COO#4
Luke Skywalker Farmboy (Meccano) COO#10

What a great mail day today!



Three MOCs and a loosie!

The three MOCs are:

ROTJ 77 Back - 4 Line China COO - Black/Blue Blaster:



AFA 80 Tri-Logo - 4 Line Raised Bar China COO - Black/Blue Blaster:



AFA 85 Twin Stem, German (General Mills) ESB 45 Back - COO#53 or COO#6 - Black/Blue Blaster:



I didn't go for them for AFA, just a pretty good deal on the AFAs and a Best Offer accepted on the ROTJ that I could live with.

VERY COOL TO NOTE...
The three Leias all shipped with Black/Blue blasters, NOT the standard Blue.
I have thought they might have existed, perhaps as the wrong blaster being carded, but this proves to me that the Blue blasters were early on and might have been all mixed up later in the line.
I wish I hadn't sold or traded a few of my black/blue ones now!!

Those three MOCs complete my first true run and goal:
Have 1 MOC of Leia Bespin for the main lines, ESB, ROTJ & Tri-Logo, along with one foreign, the original artwork (31B Back) and a Revenge Proof!
To have all 3 remaining of the 6 in my run's goal to arrive on the same day was funny since I picked them up over nearly the past three weeks!
One came within 4 days from N. Ireland!?!?!?!?!?!

And a cool note about that loose figure..
She is a COO#3 Turtle Neck (thanks James!) which completes my major goal for my loose Leia Bespin focus to have one of each major variation. I hope I haven't missed one! Sooooo many Leias!

I plan on adding some shots to the FOTW thread and starting a separate Limelight for my Leia foci within the next days/weeks/months/years.

Anyway......
So happy!
2 Runs in one day!

It's great to see your focus growing Jay! Congats on the new additions.  

Amazing score Jay, and you said you'd love a parcel like the one your sending me????? Very interesting that they all came with the blue/black blaster. Great score chief

Nice little loose collection there Stefan, some nice looking Fetts

All I managed was a B-Wing Pilot beater for 8 quid   ..... Armed with an original black (Imp. Gunner) blaster though

  Great score Alex!

Oh, and I also got this off Stefan, an LL Klaatu Skiff:


I was aware that it had a bit off paint missing from his face when I bought him, but was a bit pissed off to find he had a lot of paint missing from the back of his head when he arrived  


Cheers Stefan

Thanks man!

The mail man had to bring the mail truck for those plus a few other random things being delivered and one international package going out.

It would have been cooler if they were all packed together to save me opening and recycling all the crap, but I am NOT complaining!!!! haha... not by a long shot! Very cool to have X-Mas in August!

I was definitely shocked to see my first confirmed black/blue blaster on a carded LB, but 3 at once today on a myriad of card types ?!?!?!
Kenner-China COO for two has to mean something.

Anyway... it was a very good day!

cheers!

My latest purchases:

A few more loosies for me....



Tusken Raider (Meccano) - NO COO (Missing from COO Guide)
Admiral Ackbar (Meccano) - COO#4
Yoda (Meccano) - COO#5

So hard to keep up with this thread, just from 2 pages:
Alex- missing paint  
bonglee- loving the tri logos- especially the alternate artwork
Larry- that's a large mixed haul of goodness
Jay- I've already told you I have a 'thing' for Leia Bespin too ( & Marco got to marry one  )
Stef- I recognize a few of those figures, I got a package myself coming from Greg

I promised myself I would leave Meccano figures till 2014, but I managed to land a French collection containing nearly 30+ figures with some very nice surprises in there. I'm still working through the box.
 
As for the Luke Hoth yeah that was from Greg

VERY nice additions everyone! I particularly like the moc Tri-logos.

Must admit that there was slight movement in the front of my pants when these bad boys arrived !!

Thanks to imfromledyland for these AWESOME figures ... you are the shiz !

That was fast Chopper- good to see you back in the hunt

Congrats on picking up those Ledy's Chopper. The condition looks superb!  

great new items guys

Wow, some great figures guys!  Those Ledys and Bespin Leias look great.

I'm proud to present the Rodney Dangerfield of Star Wars collecting, General Madine.   This one is Canadian, like all my carded figures. A big thanks goes to John for this.

Demz Squid ... big thanks to OZIO and Imfromledyland ... love 'em

Got these gems.
 
They are near flawless. I was afraid for the rebel soldier to not be good but he is almost dead mint as well as the emperor and paploo. I had a baggie emperor but now i have an awesome loose copy. I had been hunting for Palpie for a while but could never find a mint one. This one is dead mint! Now just waiting for my Han Bespin, he should show up soon.
 
Chief Charpa has a rub on his medalion but otherwise he is mint too.
 
 

 
 
 
Got this too.
 
 

I couldn't pass this one up any longer. Leia's brother was calling to her (again ) so I had to make sure they remained together.
He is in fantastic condition!!!!!!!!!  



I am sending them both (Leia Bespin and Luke FB) to AFA to preserve them better. I was on the fence on it but I figure that these pieces are the ones where it makes the most sense to AFA them especially with a UV "upgrade".

Anyway... I am very happy to have the Revenge siblings!

cheers!
