im sure this figure passed through some people collections when times were less informed but he really is quite rare and I only know of 2 others that were sold since ive been trying to put together a complete meccano set which is around 4 years now /// 1 more to go woo hoo

I love the latest additions being posted here.

Bill that Meccano Tusken is a beauty. Around 7 years ago I was lucky enough to get a minty Hong Kong version at a toy fair for the princely sum of £5.00 reduced from £10.00.
The seller clearly didn't know what they had. Needless to say I purchased a few other half price figures aswell.

i have one too, found in the attic sale, but the condition is not perfect, a few paint loss

Nice blue eyed variant, Alex. Windex is gonna change your life Chris, although an equivalent ammonia window cleaner surely exists over there lol the blue colour is aesthetic lol

Wow nice one James. Was wondering where you picked up all those great advertisements.

Great stuff James...
That is just a ton of great stuff

Thanks for taking pictures of all those adverts. I know it's a tonne of work.

very nice haul of paper goods and advertisements mate, thanks for sharing

That is the coolest " broken boba euro/trilogo light grey fett single scar (painted knee/unpainted wrist dart) brown paint belt/visor variant" I have ever seen Chris

Quite possibly the longest named figure variation I have ever seen too

Chris that is excellent mate! Loving how you manage to bring some of these broken toys back to life.

Just call him "Stumpy" for short.

Well done.

your a magician Chris , it never ceases to amaze me

in case someone didn't see the unpainted droids thread I received my first 2 stripped dsd's today cool but not worth a crap

Well done Bill. I just added the screen shots in the unpainted droids thread. Is the green colour different on the front & back?

no its the same otherwise I would have taken a back view

just got this kickass small v power droid on the left .
here he is compared to the much more common large v one .

quite possibly one of the most boring and hardest variants to track down ive ever tried to acquire
for one thing most people don't know they have him and the second thing is that its very hard to tell from just a picture without a comparison shot .

differerences are smaller v, smaller sticker , smaller body and paint apps . also the grooves on the top of the figure are much shallower

Im very excited to finally have a variant of everyones favorite figure the mighty power droid

no really I am excited ... check it !!!
