Still building a slow collection, besides all the loose figures I already have...
This just came in, under $20 and the bike is mint. Box could be a whole lot better, but for $20 can't complain too much as an earlier MOC/MIB collector.

Congrats Eric, that's a great MIM Gamorrean! I think that's why it has a clear bubble, a different material was used on those bubbles.

thanks guys ,
I'm no plastic expert but I think the MIM bubbles stay clearer because the card backs all have the small hole in them behind the blister , maybe lets a little airflow in .

as a kid my very first star wars item was a Pop up book of Empire strikes back from random house ... and given I still have it ... it's trashed ... BAD ..
so snooping around on ebay I found a low priced one that was listed as Mint ... so I nabbed it ... sure enough it was pretty darn good. chatting with about 4 others via facebook found out they had it ... on had a friend who had it etc. etc. and they all loved it so they asked me to make a video of it ... and really to show off a pop up book a video is a pretty good way ... so here it is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_KRxCWhi2s and yeah I sound like a dork but felt like adding that reading rainbow vibe to it LOL LOL

Here's a new small purchase. This is a 3rd variation that I've found of these U.K. promo cards. This one is more generic where the previous two were for Odeon Cinemas and the Debenhams Department Store.

Congrats eveyone on your latest purchses I especially like the Oral B Toothbrush display, the Ben and Jawa Meccano mocs, the Ledy Han Hoth moc, and the Sears Jabba playset with the cool line art
just a couple of random items here for the XWing focus:
I love the writing on the Omni Luke Shampoo tag, basically saying how just because Luke can fly a ship against the imperials it means he's really good at cleaning your hair
And if you read the list of ingredients... look for Quaternuim-15 - a chemical that releases formaldehyde - This chemical is still used in certain products today! http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-11-01/news/30347901_1_baby-products-johnson-s-baby-shampoo-johnson-johnson
Good old Luke, not content with mass murder and the destruction of Death Stars... he wished to slowly poison us all in the bath too
