Wow an impressive haul Alex!! Those Stormies look in great condition and most have weapons which is fantastic   That deck of Jays personalized cards look great too, he did a really good job producing them   very nice cardbacks, LL stands and the short V sculpt, Gonk too. You must be nearly there with your Luke Bespin card backs now?

Cheer's Chris, yes I am nearly there with the card backs now   6 more Kenner, about 4 more Canadian, 3 more Palitoy, 1 more Tri-Logo, 1 more Meccano, 2,3, maybe 4 Ledy, POCH, etc. etc.    I guess I'm not even half way    I wish I was dead

 sorry I asked now bud   

Some new Tri Logos!
I'm especially happy with the AT-AT Driver, it's in fantastic shape.

nice aquisitions every one, I like the card game and trilogo's blister.

Just received this morning this pbp catalogue. it is from a x-wing box found in france.

Awesome pickups as usual everyone!!

Great catalogs, tri-logos (they are really growing on me!) and Tisho Ryan ;)very nice MOC pickups! You've been busy lately! And Alex...   


I was so happy to get this little trinket, I had to share.
I honestly am not entirely sure what to call him, but I liked him so much, he moved into my main first 21 display!


Playmobil Klicky GE5P Robot R2-D2 whatever (if you know exactly what I should refer to him as, please let me know!)....




I think its in great shape aside from his one foot, but in a few pictures I have seen, this seems common.

Anyway... cool in my opinion!

cheers!

I would love to have that PBP catalog in my collection. Any leads to it will be helpful.

nice pickups everyone

Well, another visit to my pops for more of my childhood stuff this weekend!!!!

One of my landspeeders! Pretty decent shape - wheels move normally and lock - engine compartment locks - windshield only slightly yellowed.





Mini-Rigs - and one of my favorites as a kid was the MTV-7!
MTV-7 - a bit dinged up and yellowed


MLC-3 - not too shabby


AND A SUPER BONUS!

I decided to go into my brothers bedroom and look around. I haven't been in there since he passed four years ago at the age of 25. Please guys, no need for condolences.

While in the room I looked over at the closet and saw this:


Do you see what I see?

Yup, another part of my original Death Star!!!! Trash compactor!
Last year I got the elevator, bridge section, lower floor and curved walkway, but that was all.
I actually picked a trash compactor last month as a goal to build my own again, so I am happy to replace it with my own!


And if you look at the picture closely...


There was a Darth Vader mask behind it. It wasn't mine, it was my brothers, so I don't know much about it really.
Before a gentle cleaning:


After cleaning:




Hard to see, but copyright 1994 Lucasfilm inside the mask part:


Copyright 1997 Lucasfilm on the helmet part


Rubies sticker inside helmet:


From what I read now, it is a Rubies mask of course, but I think this may be the one that was based off the Don Post mask.  :scratch: 
I don't understand the two copyright dates (1994 and 1997) but it looks just like the Don Post mask for the most part.   
I cannot find any info on this one. Anything I find about Rubies Darth Vader masks yield results for a deluxe model which this one clearly is not.

Does anyone have any good information on this?

Anyway, I am happy to have found it and displaying it will help preserve another memory of my brother!

OH... and my father said I have to stop by at least two more times so that means there is still more!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers!

very cool items you found psyber the helmet doesn't ring any bells but if I come across anything I will let you know it's cool you found it if for any other reason then you said to keep his memory alive.

Jason, that must be fun picking up your old toys every time you go over to visit.  

some excellent new additions Stef they all look nice and minty, very cool looking han bootleg too.
Some great new pick ups from your dad's Jay. They look to be in really good condition too. It must be really great being reunited with your old childhood toys after all this time. Love the Vader mask too, what a great find  Oh yeah really like that little droid dude, gonna have to look out for one of those. Nicholas, what a great score finding that PBP catalogue, congrats.
Verry nice tri-mocs Bonglee and Very nice R2 tri-moc Ryan

I managed to pick up a Tri-moc myself this week  its got a bit of a crush to the bubble, but its clear with no cracks or splits. The card is in pretty good shape with a few light creases and some edge wear. but I'm very happy to add this one to my collection   

Love the Vader tri Chris!   

I am starting to really like the tri-logo cards and find myself look more and more for them. I know they don't always end up in great shape, most are dented bubbles or some crease in the cards, but they've hit a spark with me. Oh no...   

Chris, that is a great MOC.  

Just a few minor buys since the start of the new year.

Some USA 20 & 21 card backs



A 3-D comic to add to the collection.



And some Canadian card backs that I traded for, with Lee in Winnipeg aka eljawa.  

I have really taken a liking to collecting cardbacks. It seems a great way to relive the history without getting too deep into pocket costs for the most part.
Still sorting out best display ideas with limited room, so for now I just rotate 3 backs on my MOC shelf to mix it up there.

I have no real direction now aside from trying to complete my Tri-Logos (not even 1/2 way there) so I just pick up a few things here and there as they pop up.
Definitely a long haul part of my collection which is cool.   

A few favorites of my last couple of months of dribs and drabs....

Love that Palitoy logo and for whatever reason I always loved that back and figure   


ROTJ 65 back with a Tri-Logo square corner bubble?


Luke 12B!


Luke Bespin 32B (finally a decent one on the cheap - still looking for a decent 31B)


A few more Tri-Logos:




A few new and upgrades for my LB forcus:
32B upgrade


45A Display Arena *new*


47A 4-Lom *new*


65B *new* stupid binder punches!


I'm always looking to add or upgrade to my LB focus - if anyone can help, here's my complete set with the best I have....
My Leia Bespin Cardbacks

cheers!

Congrats guys, nice purchases you have made lately!
@psybertech: waouw that cool finds! Wih I could find more star wars in my parents attic too!   

Great new additions everyone. Congrats on the cardbacks Jay, I'm developing a soft spot for them myself.

Here's my latest (no prizes for guessing that they're Ledy). Thanks again Ozio!

Great Cardbacks Clint and Psyb!
Just wanted to share a my 4th Canadian Transitional MOC. The Cloud Car Pilot.
It is #4 for me and I was exited to see its the same one pictured on KennerCanada.com.

Heres all 4...

Sorry for the poor picture. The IC on the left is a Ledy. I thought the other two were just regular figures. The middle one is actually shorter. The COO for the center one is Hong Kong and it is 4 line. The far right is a 3 line Hong Kong.

I am slowly putting together an Imperial Commander focus

got these gems Today. I am over the moon right now!

They are close to Mint figures. I thought i was going to get scammed but both sellers came thru and sold me a gem..

Another milestone passed on the POTF figures... Now i dont have to worry about the imperial Dignitary. He is perfect!







Leia's eye looks weird but it is just the angle she is fine.   

  That's one seriously nice Dignitary Bud!

Excellent pick up's all round guys  

@Chris, great card mate    I was lucky enough to get a Tri Vader last year  myself

some very cool pick ups guys Chris love the Tri-logo Vader for me aside from mt phone nothing new as of yet thinking of getting rid of my U.S. ESB card backs but as for price/trade need to do research as this is a weak area for me.
