Now that's a fine picture(s)

Extremely impressive collection! My dream is to have a firing Fett or at least a LL removable rocket Fett someday. One day in my dreams... but that is a GREAT collection!

Thanks! I'm a bit reserved about sharing pics of my stuff, but I guess it's a bit selfish not to share any of it, especially since I find so much enjoyment looking through this thread and seeing everyone's Star Wars toys.

What a beautiful collection!

Nice run Finest.

Cant go wrong with a Fett focus and they are beauties - especially the RF Fett. I would hazard a guess that it was the one that was recently on sale on RS. Congrats on reaching a milestone.

Dont think that you should be too hesitant to showcase your collection. I think I speak for everyone that we all would love to see more of pple's collections - to ogle, to drool and to rue what we missed out on

Cheers, Mark

Hi Folks,

Been absent for a while but still buying so here are some of my recent acquisitions.

Dallas: Great set of Burger ROTJ glasses. Now try your luck and check whether your fiance's grandparents also have a box of case fresh 12 backs at their attic.

I wish Marco. Totally scoured the cellar. Found some nice complete MOTU figs and accessories but no other SW. Also some really great WWII relics brought back from Europe. Those are priceless.

I have a couple of small items on the way... one is a TIE Fighter Trooper, the other is a MTV-7 which looks brand new (MIB). Not worth a ton of money, but I love seeing MIB items... items that sitll have the cardboard and still have the stickers on the sticker sheet.

Hopefully I can post before the weekend.

But congrats to everyone on their amazing finds!!!!

super nice collection of Bobas' you cant really beat what you have, especially the prototype kenner figure.
You sir, are gonna make a lot of folks jealous here when they will see those pics....ahahah


I am expecting my prototype armor and rocket firing moc mail ins figures in the mail from a seller on ebay, should be in in a couple of weeks.


I guess there is no way to not fall for collecting different vintage Boba stuff after a while... i did not think i liked him enough. He has always been cool to me but not to the point of going nuts over his toys. But i guess there is way too much stuff on him that is super nice. so i will probably start collecting the semi and recent stuff on him and start a small focus on him...

and as usual, nice picks up to everyone! it is always nice to see that people are able to achieve their collecting goals!

cheers!

Nice stuff everyone .... WOW on that Clipper Lando , that thing is in amazing condition .

Nice Warok !

That line art Jabba is sweet , saw one a while back in town , sealed in very similar shape , but the guy wanted $350 !


oh yeah , Boba Fett . Well here is my participation award in the junior tiddly winks all county championship to go with the Nobel Prize

Few things I got from ebay this week .

Just got the one on the left in a lot , wasn't a good pic but all the figures were super nice , Taiwan Fett ....never knew he had a smaller head than the HK version . Not sure if the rough blaster goes with him ?


Super clean Vader with an "FF" saber . Has a longer cape than my other vaders too ? Came with the POTF coin but I already have one ( that I spent more on than this figure and coin together haha)



And finally my surprise win , I didn't really plan on getting this one just yet since they have been a bit out of my reach price wise , but I put in a bid right when it was listed that I had all week , then got outbid on the last day and decided to run it up on the other bidder , either I was going to get it or they were going to have to spend a little bit more . I outbid them by $1.27 and had the top bid going into the last few hours , figured I would get sniped at the last second I got an email alert on my phone which I thought would be an outbid notice . As it turned out it was a you won this item notice . Ended up getting a great price and I think I would be hard pressed to find one in better shape . But little treat to myself since I couldn't make it to C6

Quote of the week

Eric your Fetts really do look super nice + Vader + coin = GREAT score !! Congrats!


Greg - nice set of ROTJ mocs (7!) and some loose figures you have picked up lately

Mark - Very well done on the MIB action display stand One of my fave early release items. I love my loose version despite the backing scene card looking pretty creased these days - but what a cool way to display the first 12 loose figs

Great stuff everyone! Thanks for sharing!

@Mark_Yeo - I have been looking for a MIB display stand myself - very nice! The R2 is just awesome!

Great pick ups everyone. I have been away for a few months!

Some great additions the last few days!

@ Finestcomics: an exceptional collection thanks for sharing it here at TIG.
It would be a shame to see these pics fading away into oblivion, by posting them in this thread only. So why not starting a limelight thread with them as well?

BTW: I had never heard about the small Wing prototype Darth Vader TIE. What a grail piece! (apart from the many others).

I was curious and found some more info here: http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=48876

@ Darth Small: Nice set of MOCs, and congrats on the rare Red Toe Warok version.
I don't know whether it was on purpose, but the blue lightning effect through the carbonite block looks cool.

@ Erik: Well done on the Creatures Coin!

@ Mark: Wow!! 1979 (!!) display stand, with unapplied sticker sheet, what a great piece, I love it.

@ Curch: Welcome home, Joe!

@ Paul: thanks for reviewing, un point pour la France!

Keep it going, guys!

Still taking baby steps... a small buy but the box is in wonderful condition and love getting vehicles with the stickers still off and instructions in mint condition.

That looks a nice tidy Mini-rig looks like there is not a fold on the flap for once, nice buy

No, there isn't one on this. In fact, only 2 of the corners are a little worn. Really good deal for $20.

These are my latest additions. Nothing crazy, but just stuff I wanted to get. Had the empty boxes for the Dewback and Fighter, so I needed to fill them with something Needed some extra accessories and the 2 figures for my run.

Love the Blue snaggletooth!


Just got this in today, pretty nice shape. Nice clear bubble.

wow, thats in fantastic shape!

Yeah, I've been picky with what I buy now. After getting my last 'yellowed' bubble I said NO MORE! So this one is clear and the Stormstrooper coming should be nearly PERFECT. Can't wait!

The tiefighter pilot moc looks excellent
Great pickup

where do you guys find all of these great carded items, I will never know.
