sweet erg Andy . your collection sounds like its coming along nicely

I only have 5 Canadian ESB moc's and none of them have a supporting tray.

I might be way off on this, but I think there was a difference between my Canadian Rancor Keeper and the US one that I put up for the giveaway, I can't recall if it was that the US one didn't have the supporting tray or if the trays were different.

Beautiful Palitoy ERG, Andy! The bubble looks perfect.

Very Interesting, Ian. I didn't even know there were ROTJ comics that had covers like that.

these are the UK release of the marvel comic the full run is 326 issues, they all had interesting cover art on them, I remember getting them weekly as a lad, 25 pence an issue, good times

That does ring a bell, now that you mention it.

Here’s something I got t at a flea market on Saturday. 40x micro collection die cast figures at $1 each. Most have great paint, two in sealed baggies, one Wampa and one Tauntaun.

those figures look great a bargain price to

Certainly included enough Vaders lol the surprising thing to me was how few of them were the same figure.

great stuff Ian . never knew those existed

Chris nice haul dude that sounds like a bargain to me

Andy a beauty of a piece and im sure Steve would have loved that you now own it

Ian, that's a fantastic bunch of UK comics. Good luck if you decide to complete the run.

Chris, that's a great lot of Micro collection figures. Now you have to find some playsets to display them with.

Andy, that's an awesome piece from Steve's collection.

found in the shop, a pbp

Great Rebel Soldier, Fabrice.

Great pickups guys, Andy that Luke is a beauty, As is the Lando, nice rebel soldier Fabrice,

Andy, that's another great piece to have from Steve's collection.

I have a couple small pick-ups recently.

First is an un-opened Canadian cereal adpac from Kellogg's C-3PO's.  What's unusual about this one, is it apparently came from a Kellogg's employee & it contains approx. 18 cards and stickers.  They are only supposed to contain 2 (1 card & 1 sticker) per sealed pack.

The second is a 2 7/8"  (7.3 cm) dia. "Festival des Sciences et de Genie 1981" button from the province of Quebec.

This is from Wikipedia
"The Science and Engineering Festival ( FSG ) is a student festival held each year in January at Laval University in Quebec City . It is a friendly competition of varied activities, spread over roughly two weeks, organized for and by students from different fields of science and engineering. The first edition of the Festival took place in January 1976. The event was subsequently held each year without a break: the 2015 Festival was the 40 th edition."

Some nice little pick ups there Clint

Things you don't see every day with some cool history, congrats mate

Very interesting Clint, rare to, thanks for sharing

Thanks Andy & Ian. I was really hoping the package of stickers and cards, was just sealed by a dealer. But it definitely looks to be factory sealed, so it will have to stay sealed.
