a kenner emperor moc with italian import sticker for £15.

this year i missed out on a beater squidhead trilogo moc for £40 but the kicker with that was it was a weapon error (biker scout blaster) was packed with it

and last week a helix stormtrooper ruler 1977 for a £5!

how ever with ebay you dont know what the winner was prepared to pay. so who knows.......but i always wonder

over to the you guys....

When I first signed up to ebay in 2007 I was a proliffic buyer as it gave me access to items I thought I'd never find  in the 'wild', but I had limited finances. It stickis in my mind that I watched some loose DT Lukes (which I hesitated over) sell for around £100 and DB Rebel Soldiers go for around £85.00. Seeing what they go for now I could kick myself, but I have no regrets as I have acquired many bargains through ebay, car boot sales & toy fairs which have more than compensated.

Not many buying regrets though I do I regret not buying a dianoga trash monster years ago at a car boot sale for 2 pound as I didn't recognise it as a star wars item, doh!

When I first got into the hobby as an adult about 4 1/2 years ago I passed up on a couple of DT Luke's and a vinyl Cape Jawa as I thought I'd pick them up at a later date, still hav'nt added them and look at the price they go for these days

a toltoys vc jawa for 200gbp grrrrrrrrr
a poch jawa for 150$
a poch ugnaught for 100 buy it now

the one that really hurts me was a takara alt sculpt c3po for 200 about 4 years ago . I dream of owning a 3po and vader takara (I own the stormie with no weapon but I don't care

lili ledy jawas when they were going for 300ish a few years back

top toys vader for 100$ also comes to mind

and I regret not grabbing tons and tons of overstock from kaybee toys when I worked there as a teenager as a kid . there were bins that we just filled to the max with these things.
I thought about it but decided I was too old to collect them anymore . probably around 86 or maybe 88 lol dumbass

A beautiful mint clean tie bomber for £125
A 12" LL TR with repro cape £180
