Your Latest Pickups........ Volume 1

Great stuff guys!

Couple of bits myself.

My first ever Poch Luke Bespin, was the 4 line version, and although it isn't a total beater, infact a side from the paint wear to the saber hilt he actually isn't that bad at all, but some kid coloured his eyes in blue (hence his nickname Ol' Blue Eyes) and I've always been on the look out for an upgrade./ A smost Poch collectors know though, this is probably the hardest Luke Bespin Poch figure to find. Well, before Christmas, our very own resident Poch expert Kenneth sent me a link to one on a Spanish site and we decided to go for it. Kenneth did the bidding and ended up winning it for me for a bargain price  However the seller became very unresponsive when it came to payment and soon didn't bother to cooperate at all and the sale fell through, most likely the result of a better offer behind closed doors.
During the month long attempt to contact the seller, Javi and Sergio both contacted the seller also to try and help, just incase he wasn't understanding English, but still nothing.
That is when Sergio , the gentleman that he is offered me one of his for the same sale price    Truly awesome gesture dude much appreciated
So Ol' Blue Eyes has gone to live with Christian



And with his Poch brothers


Also got a lovely Christmas gift of Christian, a nice dark legs Han Hoth, cheers dude


And finally, after many years of searching I finally managed to find a small head Han from Family I


Who looks nice next to his brothers also


He also had the Family I COO that we're missing so I'll add that

I have searched and waited a long time for this one

nice pick ups Clint, i've not seen the 3D comic before, or the York peanut butter lids for that matter

wow congratulations on the Poch upgrade Alex, it was also very generous of Sergio to sell you his figure, when the original seller dishonoured your original agreement.
congrats on the dark legs Han Hoth and the family 1 Han Solo too, I didn't realise this was quite a difficult family to find
Great line up picks too bud

Thanks Chris, the comic is the last of the 3 in that series.  There was originally 6 planned, from what I've read about them, but the last 3 were cancelled.

The peanut butter lid inserts were from an old brand called York Peanut Butter.  If I remember correctly, they were packaged between the foil seal & just inside the lid.

This is from CanadianSWGallery aka Scott Bradley's web site. He does a great job explaining things.

Not a prob bud I am going through a bunch of stuff with Vader related item mostly new stuff from 95 and up. I will take some pics of it all if you want any I will send it as well, any remaining I will see if Jesse wants it good to have two Vader lovers in the group .

I am doing pretty good a bit sore from the fall, my finger still hurts like a son of a bitch though maybe I need some good meds .

Glad to hear that your recovering nicely Larry, and that you didn't injure yourself too badly. Thanks also for the kind offer of some of your spare Vader stuff
It would be great if we could get Jesse and Oscar posting here too. I did send Jesse an invitation, but he never got back to me.

wow congratulations, some fantastic new figures you've picked up there, is the black A - wing pilot pistol genuine?
The Princess leia Organa figure looks to be in great shape too

Just a few new pick ups for me recently:

We spoke about this wonderful piece on the latest podcast episode.  I love it.
I love this thread and i'm loving everything i'm seeing on this forum.
Looking forward to discussing a few more Tantive XI pieces on the next recording

Edited because my laptop second guessed my typing and auto corrected Tantive to Tonsite or something peculiar like that.

Thanks Chris,

all figures are in perfect condition ( c9.5/c10) and the blaster of A-wing pilot is black,

the cape of leia with, is split, the other leia is perfect

Nice little addition to the Han Hoth family this morning, starting to turn into a Han Solo month!

Not the best condition but still a classic figure, Poch Chocolate Legs Han:

I think you overpaid brother

Clint might be worth the $5 on a good day but a standard Alex variant is only worth $1.50 according to my most recent price guide

If it would have been a arse pic the price doubles to $3 so , hopefully , you can get him to throw in a little something more for you

Finally my SC Landspeeder has arrived! Totally happy with it, even if the insert is missing!

BTW if someone has a spare empty Sandcrawler box, I would take it

How the fuck did I miss that hahahaha

Never thought I'd belong to Fonzy himself

Today the postman brought me another cool Poch PBP AT AT driver as a surprise gift.
This time it was a New Years gift from Pablo. It also came with a great PBP mini catalogue.

Thank you very much for this cool factory error, my friend!      

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I saw the photo and really admired the mini catalogue with it.  I'm sure everybody agrees that it's really cool, but it was only then i noticed your comment about the factory error.  
I love it. I've heard of 2 left feet, but 2 left arms! The poor AT AT Driver.

Sweet looking Fluffy Skirt Tan legs Klaatu, and i always love seeing those tins.  I have the same as part of a SS a few years back, nice.

Commander Clint
Congrats on the bargain Comic dude, best of luck with the hunt.  I've never seen those inserts before, cool.

General Kahn
Loving the Luke Bedpans.  The generosity already shown on this forum and wider community is awesome. Great photos by the way. Nice run of Han Hoths. He has grown massively in popularity over the last couple of years with some great focuses being shown off.

Stinger
Congrats on the Falcon.  Hunk of Junk she is not. Very sweet mate.  Lovely looking Sonic Landspeeder.  If i see a Sandcrawler box i'll give you a shout.

Jawa57
Your figures look mint.  It's always nice to see a smart looking A-Wing Pilot, very underrated sculpt in my opinion but a shame the nose often gets it. Yours is nice.

Paul Armory
Those Micro figures have really grown in popularity over the last year.  Is there a book out? They look brilliant mate.  I might have to get some myself!

Chris i'm loving the figures but also the quality of your images mate, awesome photos dude.
