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

Fabrice, that's a fantastic AT-AT, and it's working, makes it even better.

Marco, that's a great PBP Han Bespin.

well i finally ticked off a collecting goal for this year to get a nice Han Hoth MOC. i dipped my toe into the £100+ market for this one time only

i saw this and like difference in production of the figure so i went for  it!

A PBP Han hoth Pale Jacket / white face* packed on a Palitoy 65 back with large trilogo bubble with an imperial blaster.  

palitoy exported carbacks over europe we know. This was packed in spain hence the blaster and figure and sold through out Europe. interestingly this became one of the European overstock that Kaybee stores bought up as it has there price sticker on.

i love it!

huh pbp han hoth WTF? * i have uploaded a picture of my loose variation with a standard HH so you can see the difference (the jacket is cast in a different colour pale grey/violet, has more refined detail on jacket and of course its face is painted white with pink primer underneath. the gloves and scarf are painted a vibrant white apposed to cream on a regular HH) and COO is of course scarred.

Chris, that Han Hoth is a fantastic pick-up. Well done.

Marco and Chris, Great Hans there guys Two very cool pieces

one of my latest loose - a hard piece to find for sure - ive been looking for a couple of years now since i got a moulded legs han hoth.

this is a unusual piece as it has mixed limbs one moulded leg and one the normal painted leg which was cast in blue like the rest of the figure.

Great finds. Congrats Marco , Chris and Fabrice

if you havnt already seen them on another thread or SWFUK these will no doubt bring a smile too your face. they did me

during my random outside of the box thinking vintage starwars e-bay searches i came across this item. i dont normally go for oddball stuff i put a small token gesture bid and won

a unpunched trade card of bootleg keychains from the late 70s.

i was amazed these things have survived to be honest. ive never seen them before. i did find the figures on the swca but there were no chains present on the figures just the eyelits where they once hanged .I have forwarded on images to the admin of swca so they can update the archive

upon quizzing the seller, he said he was selling them for a friend who cleared out a closed down tobbaco/sweet shop and found these in storage. amazingly there were 2 full cards in this auction. well chuffed little bargain oddity

enjoy the bootleg crudeness

The V-Wing pilot was given to me by my friend and fellow Tie Pilot he knew I was thinking of doing this as a costume and that I had been looking for the figure the price was always to much but he snag this bad boy for me as a surprise.

The V-wing pilot is mentioned and shown in the books and comics I believe, The fighters themselves are shown in Episode 3 at the end escorting the Emperor back to coruscant with Anakin.
