YOUR LATEST PICK UP'S - VOLUME 4

Great pick ups, guys!

@Dave: Are you planning to collect a full set of coins which were released on cards?

Hi Marco, I am not in a rush, find what I can. I know I will never be able to afford some of them. So I just enjoy collecting what I can afford.

I wish I had found out years ago I could send in $40 and get a full set!!

very cool coins, they look great, i have a folder full of the 30th anniversary coins, a nearly complete set, wish those were metal though they are plastic, great coins but i prefer metal ones

Hi Dave,

Well that is the spirit not being in a rush and collect at your own pace. Enjoy collecting more coins.

I only have one POTF2 coin in my collection. It is a Barada coin which came as a bonus when I bought the loose figure. years ago.
It is cool to have the figure displayed with its coin.

Cheers

Picked this up at a thrift store couldn't leave it behind for $3.00. Vintage sort of, remastered original. Haven't played a VHS in years!

Nice VHS tape David.

Good luck with the sale Ian.
If they were Canadian cards, I would be all over it.

cheers mate, not expecting a fortune on them, see what happens

nice VHS tape David, was that just before the special edition release? I still have my original "widescreen" VHS editions. But I'm not sure that they're playable anymore. I think the tape has gone mouldy. Not that I have a VHS player any more, to play them on anyway

Some cool stuff there Ian, good luck with your sale mate

Nice one Andy.

Nice Andy, Yoda looks to be in great shape as well!

Nice pickup Andy ! looks in great condition to

Nice pick up Andy, well done

So i missed out on a copy of this poster a few months ago, the auction ran and it ended up at £150, i was gutted, and told my wife so, fast forward a couple of months and my wife tells me she had found the poster and it was on the way, here's what's coming, its a reprint of the original, i'm made up she thought of me, and it does look good, i'll keep it until that time i can source an original

That's a fantastic poster Ian. Hopefully you can find an original copy some day.

cheers mate, yeah its a decent poster, glad to have it even if it is a reprint

Some great pick up guys!

Congrats on that Palitoy flyer, Ian. Never seen that before. And very kind of your wife to get you a copy of the painting competition poster.
Never saw that poster before. Is there something on the back printed as well on the original poster?

David: Those old VHS boxes have a magic appeal. Congrats.

Andy: Congrats on your Yoda with Hong Kong paper tag. Great catch.
Hopefully I can add this variant to the collection myself one day.

Cheers
Marco

Thanks marco, yeah the flyer is pretty cool, going to hang onto it, the poster is blank on the rear as i assume the original one was
cheers

Great looking poster Ian, love those B-wing shots! Nice filler until an original can get sourced!

thanks David
So my nan recently passed, and going through some of her stuff i found a few survivors put to one side, including my childhood R2, now R2  and i had been through the mill growing up, i was abused by my parents, especially my father, and me and R2 became best buds, to help with the pain especially the bottom pain i would rub R2s dome on my nose, it helped somehow, i was self soothing as a little kid, and even though my father would occasionally throw my stuff around in a drunken rage and tried to destroy R2 he never managed it, somehow through the passage of time we got separated,i had a second one but this was the first and most special, finding him again really means a lot, he is a survivor as am i, he will stay with me now and when its my turn to go to the great beyond i have left instructions that he comes in the box with me, anyway, hope you don't mind me droning on, i know its a bit sad, here he is

Ian, I'm sorry to hear about your nan. My condolences to you and your entire family. I know you've had a tough go, watching her final days.
But what a great find and a great keep sake and memory to have of her.

Cheers Clint, means a lot, i appreciate it

Hi Ian, always tough to watch helplessly as our loved ones get sick and pass away. It sounds like she was a great Nan and you and your family made lots of happy memories with her. Awesome that your R2 buddy that got you through some tough times as a kid is back with you. It's crazy what objects can do to take us away to happier places. All the best.

Cheers David appreciate it, yeah i'm glad to have him back,
