Hey all. So...as some of you know, I actively search out Star Wars "in the wild". I have a couple interesting ad strategies that I employ in an effort to seek out and acquire older collections. Every so often, they work. I recently landed this buy from a fella about an hour away from me. It was a tough go...and a long story...but we eventually came to agreeable terms and I bought the stuff. There's lots here...more than the photos show. Enjoy!

Wow...

Great find and thank you for sharing!

I love recovering Star Wars items "in the wild." What were some of the prized items you uncovered?!?

What a MASSIVE score! WOW! Congrats!!! Would I have to sell a car for a collection like that? (I don't just want to ask how much you paid)

Wow.......just....WOW.....

jawdropping!

shoot me a pm if you need to unload some of that oddball stuff in there

Wow man, that's some haul! Hope you brought a U Haul for it!

Holy moly!!

WWWoww what a score

What a score, congrats!!!

Is your garage bigger than his to store all those boxes?

Was Elvis included in the deal?

I saw and commented it over at RS. Again, amazing find.

I'm just reading this post with my phone, but even that small pic shows a HUGE haul! Congrats on the find!

HOLY CRAP! Was there any prototypes? What a unbelievable find : ) Congrats!!!!!

"interesting ad strategies" which obviously work well cos this is not your first big score

RM,

Looks like you are officially king of the basement finds. Reminds me of the one you had a coupla years ago. Congrats dude, looks like nobody can sniff em out like you man. How would you say this one compares to the last one?

Oh...this one is nowhere near as good as the really great find I had about 5 or so years ago. That one was loads more stuff and nearly all MISB. That buy also included a fair pile of 60's model kits, vintage magazines, and a pallet of early 80's sports wax boxes. This buy, while certainly a nice pile of stuff, is not in the same condition or the same quantity.

More pics, more pics, more pics, more pics.
You can't dump that lot on us and not show us some more of the goodness, Bobby.

Like I said over at RS, if there are some sweet offerless ESB MOC:s I'm interested in buying them

Another AWESOME find Bobby,congrats!

If there's any Canadian MIB items in good condition amongst that lot,could you let me know please?

Agreed!! That's quite a stash Bobby! Please show some more pics

Wow Bobby, another greea score.
I agree with the others, we need more photos to pour over.

Great find, you are the true Bounty Hunter

There's got to be an Imperial Gunner in there to travel the world.

Or maybe that boxed Millenium Falcon could start the journey? I'll pm you my address, first stop the land down under.

I've had the opportunity to pick up some nice collections over the years, but nothing like that. What a score!
Congratulations to you.
Judging by some of the other responses I'm gussing your inbox is pretty full by now

Hey there. I'll add pics as I take them...I've just not been able to spend that much time with the lot. As I organize and sort through everything, I'll be responding to all the PMs and such inquiring about certain items.
