Hi guys : )
My newest purchase... Engineering Pilot Red Snaggletooth. I wrote a longer description on my limelight if anyone wants to read about him : )
Thanks for looking, -Steve

I haven't paid attention in a day and there is a Ledy MOC and an EP?!?!?!?   
Nice pickups John and Steve!!! (and everyone else of course!!!! )

Wow I'm usually stoked to receive a badge or Luke bubble bath container from Todd. But to receive a Ledy moc! Congrats     


Steve - congrats on the EP red Snag

I like your new additions Andrew. The box below your Bib looks interesting.    

Hehe. That's the goody box of Aaron, a local collector who buys odd bits & bobs off me.


Coincidentally I think Ian just called me Aaron.  

Super Ledy by the way.

   Andrew gets called Aaron by John (sometimes Ian) and a quote from Chris (sometimes called Steve)   

Cheers, Peter.

Andrew

Im pretty sure you're named Aaron. You must be mistaken.

Sorry man, I confused you with another member named "8BitAaron"

Wont do it again!

Not a problem and totally understandable. I always play it safe and stick with usernames.   

I honestly can't remember anyones real name. Except Alex who's name and arse have been imprinted permanently into the memory.

Gonna go and take a closer look at Brians nice EP Snag.   

I'm going to break a habit and make two posts this month...





The first post contains all Canadian Items (accept three mini-rigs LC, VME, TPC), the second photo contained a very nice surprise a Lili Ledy Scout walker Leaflet!!!

A large portion of the Canadian items are spoken for, but I still have to find homes for what's left

Congrats on the paperwork haul Stef.


Not a purchase by me but a really nice surprise gift from OurChickenShack and Commander-Clint    

Was expecting some DVDs I'd ordered in the postbox this morning but found another package too   











  


three cool custom figures made by Clint and James, hand-written card, O-Pee-Chee gum and trading cards pack, and Star Wars and The Last Starfighter Canadian General Mills cereal fold-out leaflets,




the customs are really cool Clint and James, thank you   



There are so many good folk on this forum making kind gestures. I love the spirit here.

Clint and James, thanks again guys, you rock    

 Wow! I LOVE the customs, but that card is REALLY special!
-Steve

Nice paperwork Stef!

And nice score Paul!
James is rather a nice person underneath his scary masks!

I have a few pickups for my Gross MOC Run which is OVER HERE -and more of my ramblings are inside

ESB 32A C-3PO
ESB 47A Sandpeople
ESB 48A Chewbacca (AFA 75)


11 down - 1 to go



backs:


I know the condition is far from desirable but as part of the fun, upgrades over time and re-ordering. But I think they display pretty well.   

cheers!

Awesome additions everyone   

Nice paperwork Stef, I look forward to the updated limelight   

Great score the LL Luke John, very nice   

Love the customs Paul, James and Clint are not only the masters of making them, they also love giving them away!

Great work on the 'Gross' Run Jay, you've dusted that off pretty damn quick    So at a quick glance I'm gonna say you're needing a 45 Back han Solo to finish then ?

Yeah, it helps that I am not sourcing high quality pieces to get it started.   
Still a few seem tricky to get nicer examples of for sure and yeah, just a 45 back Han. Would love a legit non Toy Toni Palitoy or that sweeeeeeet Mecanno one (well, if I win the lottery! haha)... but a legit Palitoy or GM would rock in that spot! But any one will do to finish the ground work.

thanks!

Lots of very cool hauls guys love the new customs Paul, James and Clint rock. That is one of the main things I love about this place most of us never met in person but we are a family of wonderful people

Excellent new additions everyone   

Very nice Canadian radio controlled R2 Clint   

Steve,  congrats on obtaining another amazing pre-production piece for your focus   

A fantastic haul of paperwork Stef, congrats on picking up another LL instruction sheet, like Alex I look forward to your updated limelight   

Another outstanding and rare moc for your focus John   

Great customs from james and Clint Paul, its such amazing acts of generosity like this, that make TIG by far the best forum in the world   

Thats a very impressive and very quickly obtained run of mocs Jay and a great idea for a side focus  

well done on your latest purchases guys; Great custom figs.    and psybertech, cool cards!    I will post my sunday purchases later today or tmrw.

Wonderful array of new additions lads.   Keep them coming.   

It's not exactly on par with Johns, but I've just picked up a LL Luke myself. The condition isn't what I would normally go for, but for the price I couldn't say no.   

Last Sunday a friend of mine offered me this cool chess game. I also purchased from another friend a box of vintage figures he had found on a local flea market with a huge quantity of original weapons and accessories. Some figures and weapons (like the sabers) had been painted though by the previous owner. According what he told me, This figures were used by a toy shop owner as display in the 1980's ....On te pic I added a PVC Chewbacca I got through another fleamarket. Its licensed by Disney in 1990, sure its quite common but I like it!

nice pick up guys love the chess set JB very cool looking indeed.

Great pick ups guys but Paul I think you get the emotional win!! Nice Clint and James!!

I'm happy to add another Ledy MOC to the collection!

Nice pickups fellas!
Nice Ledy Luke!
And man, I like that chessboard! I want a really nice SW one one day.

And I see your Ledy MOC John and raise you a Hand Cut Leia Bespin 45A Proof!


Displayed with her sisters....


So very happy to have this piece!
3 down and 9 to go!?!?!?!?!   hahahahahahaha

cheers!

Wow! John you're pulling out the finger on the ledy MOC's!! Looks great boss, love 8D8 bigtime   
 
Steve, it goes without saying that I love your LL Luke, still probably my favourite Bespin Luke variation! Best looking and the figure with the best story for me   
 
  Jay, you already no what I think of the proof, genuinely awesome man!  

OK I think this is my last bits for a little while! I'm at a good point and need to re-group a bit.

Apparently, a must read! I haven't read it yet, just thumbed through, but so far looks great!


A nice place to store my Death Star - pretty nice shape overall:


And LP instructions for it:


Now to just track down the inserts.


And   




Stage 1 of the Gross MOC Run complete!

Han has some staple holes but looks great on display. Very cramped and I will work on that a bit more somehow.  :scratch: 

Now the real fun will begin with tracking down the upgrades and re-ordering them more to my liking (which I have decided on yet).

But anyway... I really love the way this came together.
3 Star Wars cards
6 ESB
3 ROTJ

A nice balance to start with, but I would love a Star Wars stickered 32 back and an ROTJ 48 back to make it 4 a pop.
A ton of potential.

The nice thing here is these all were sourced from many places.

Anyway.......     

haha
GMR baby!

cheers!

  Nicely done Jay! The Gross 12 looks awesome!   

I got a parcel today from everyones favourite Canadian Commander! The last two sets of O-Pee-Chee trading cards for my complete O-Pee-Chee run    There was also a pile of stickers and stuff and a lovely R5-J2 custom as well    Cheers Clint!





There was also a load of beaters for some customs, including a piece I've been needing to complete my most novel custom yet......

But you're not gonna see it here, you're gonna have to bob over to the custom thread   

The stuff in this thread keeps getting better and better, I love to see all the different stuff people collect. I'm gonna nice a new side focus and stop buying boring loose figures   

Jay the Mecc 2 Tri book is excellent, I was looking to get a personalised signed copy of the first edition, both that and the Kellerman books are an absolute must!

Some stormie cardbacks added.
front

back


Tri-logo's look the same but are different thickness + the left one came in a box and has a factory-bend mark vertically.

And some to put up for trade (stormies  stormies  stormies    )
R2 has significant touch ups and a fake background at the blister-area   

Clint: Congrats on the Canadian radio controlled R2. Even better that he still works.  
I wonder now whether the control would also work for the Sandcrawler. At least the mould seems to be the same.


John: Great score on the two Ledy MOCs. Luke Jedi and 8D8.  
Extra LIKE for 8D8's negative cardback.

Steve: Good job scoring the engineering pilot Snaggletooth. Great that you could match him with another "unaged" test figure in another collection.  


Stef: Impressive set of mostly Canadian instructions for your focus. The Ledy Scout walker instructions are a nice bonus, indeed!  


Paul: Clint and James are true gentlemen, giving you a present like that!  
BTW: Jacky Brown is a great movie, with a great track!

Jay: Nice to see your enthusiasm for that cool GROSS run idea and see it coming all along! Stage 1 already completed!
Congrats on the Leia Bespin 45A Proof!! Glad you could land him, my friend!   

Steve: Good job scoring your Lili Ledy blonde Luke Bespin. One of the coolest Ledy variants around.  

Alex: There is always a small sense of victory when finding a vintage lot on a flea market. Well done!
Nice Star Wars chess game. From the box it appears that Darth Vader is the Queen of the dark Side.  




 
Alex: Congrats on the last two sets of trading cards to complete your complete O-Pee-Chee run. Extra LIKE for the custom R5-J2 gift from Clint.   

Fred: Happy to see you posting here. Nice set of Stormi cardbacks!
