Cheers guys Ian not all mate, if something catches my eye and I can afford it, I do love the little differences on Poch/PBP & Ledy figures

found in the attic sales, he is new, never played, just one side is faded

Nice Fabrice

Andy, that a great pbp Imperial commander.

Fabrice, that a fantastic projector set.  Nice that it was un-used.

I'll continue with a ESB storybook that I got from France.  It's printed in France. So I will have to continue my search for a French Canadian version.

thanks a lot

The cover on that French storybook is insane. I recognize the Vader from the poster but I never really analyzed the rest of that image before.

Thought I'd share this Vader case that I picked up from it's childhood owner while I was in Ottawa last week. You know it's a time capsule because it doesn't have a single ROTJ item in it.

I got it for $100 CAD, got a few nice upgrades in here for my collection. Only 4 weapons but nice versions of the first 12 (minus Death Squad commander) with 3 out of 4 vinyl capes,  nice cloth on the jawa and ugnaut. Also the 3 line coo Luke has a saber though it's missing the tip.

Looks like there used to be an IG-88 too, but he didn't make it into the time capsule before it closed for 30 years lol

Nice pick up Chris.

Nice Chris , i used to love making scores like that

Nice score Chris

Looks like a small head Han is in there - be sure to check the legs to see if they are molded in black or white plastic painted black . Look in the peg holes and you should be able to tell - white legs painted black is a bit more of a uncommon variation

Nah it's a big head lol

I'm surprise that it's big head. My childhood Han, was a small head. Maybe they got it on an ESB card?

Yeah cuz if the Luke is a 3 line that means a SW card right? (Ignorant)

But it's more than possible that he got it on an ESB card given the other figures here.

I know big and small head can be found on US 12 backs, not so for Canada I assume (based on your comment)

I'm not completely sure when the big head Han first came out. Might be a good question for a Han focus collector.

The R2 is a solid dome and the 3PO is fixed limbs, so those were early. I think Fixed limbs 3PO was on ESB cards with the first card art but I don't think solid dome R2 had an ESB card with the original art.

Lol ignorant comments and assumptions abound. Pretty confident about big head Han being on 12 backs though lol someone will surely correct or affirm that shortly

Yes solid dome R2 was on ESB card with the original artwork.

Awesome find, he looks great!

I knew someone would come along to shed some light on my ignorant comments. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a solid dome, original art R2 on an ESB card. Very interesting, but it would be one of those super expensive pieces which isn’t a debut card so I’d rather have a 12 or 20 back I think.

Nice Bill, congrats mate

Is the brown snake rubbery or rigid I have one of each but I'm not sure which Yoda's they came with

Rubbery

got a decent blue painted helmet taiwan fett ...

Bill, nice poch Yoda & the blue painted helmet Fett looks to be in fantastic shape. Well done.

Had this delivered today, didn't think I'd ever get one of these.

It's bigger than I thought!

Nice shuttle Marky. Does the wing locking mechanism work properly?

Did this stem from all the Imperial Shuttle talk on the last TVR podcast?

Lovely additions Bill

Marky, I remember when I bought my shuttle, I was also surprised (& delighted) by the size. Definitely one of the most acurately sculpted & scaled vehicles out there.

Nice shuttle!!
