Nice job on the assist, Clint! And it was from RS? That's great!

Ye Clint spotted it on Rebelscum from a very nice guy called Adam
Brother Clint is a legend

Thanks mate, I'm very pleased with it one of the best things in this hobby is some of the great people I've met who I'm proud to call friends

Canadian packaging pickups from a Toy Show in Ancaster, Ontario on Sunday.

Great pickups Chris!

Well done Chris. Are the colouring books un-used?

Nice Haul Chris, that's one show I haven't gotten around to attending. Was there alot of Canadian stuff or did you get it all?

Thanks guys! The ESB books are unused/sealed.

I purchased every available coloring book lol so there were 3.

Thinking about going to a toy show in a town called Ajax tomorrow, its probably an hour+ drive but I might check it out.

Starting down the gimcrack path?

If you go to the Ajax toy show. Be sure to let us know how it was.
I won't be going. It's on the the opposite side of Toronto from me. I hate driving into the big city as it is.

Ajax "Toy Force" Haul!

Now that's a Klaatu I've been looking for, for a long time.

Great haul of goodies there Chris!

Nice pick ups Chris.

Glad to see you managed to get Klaatu & a "Le Chef Jawa".

Very nice Chris That's a beauty of a Canadian Klaatu and I've always thought the ceral stickers were cool

Great pups there chris

Some great pick ups, guys. Thanks for sharing.  
Clint:  being a Dengar fan, I dig that unwelded Dengar figure. Nice catch.  
Sweet Canadian puzzles too, my friend.

Andy: Cool silver RL C-3PO. My guess is that the silver colour is not due to discolouration. In contrast to very golden C-3POs where the varnish has yellowed,
Great Royal Guard MOCs too. One of my favourite figures. Great that Clint helped you with obtaining the Canadian 65-back with Nien Nunb offer.

Chris: Outstanding diecast pieces! Congrats. Never seen that bootleg light saber, nice addition.
I have never seen that board game. Wonderful artwork on the box.

I was curious and found some more info:

The Ultimate Space Adventure Game (Parker Brothers, 1982)

Although a second Star Wars movie had been released and the third one was nearing completion, Parker Brothers released a more generic game based on Star Wars in 1982. This is another game with a spinner and this time you’re a Rebel Alliance commander who has to reach Dantooine as quickly as possible. First you’ll have to leave Hoth’s orbit and travel through hyperspace while dealing with dangerous issues such as asteroid fields and Darth Vader, who’s in hot pursuit. The box shows nice art of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, while the board itself isn’t really decorated by any photos or artwork from the movie.

Marco, It's so good to hear from you.   I really like some of the poorly sonic welded figures.  Unfortunately, they sell for a lot of money for some reason.  This Dengar was reasonably priced from Australia.

I went to a local toy show this morning.  Meet up with Chris (the89thchris) & wandered around the show.

I managed to pick up a sealed Canadian Presto Magix - The Jabba the Hutt Throne Room Scene.  Thanks to Chris for pointing it out.  There were others, but they were the US versions.
Chris managed to walk right past, what I think was the best find at the show.  Because I'm a huge trading card fan, I spotted them right away.

Un-cut ESB sticker sheets from series #1 & #2.  And only $15 for the pair of sheets.  There is no way of telling if they are Topps or O-Pee-Chee.

Thanks Ian. They are in fantastic shape. I should have gone back and picked up the other uncut sheets that the seller had. Buck Rogers, Black Hole, Mork & Mindy....

Excellent pickups Chris, that Klaatu looks to be in mint shape! Clint, those stickers are fantastic. Great score!!

Thanks David. I knew you would appreciate them.

Just picked up this 1st series wrapper. This is a different version than the one I have. I am not sure how many versions there are but this one seem less common. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Nice pick up David.   It is one of the less common wrappers.  There are 3 wrapper variations for the 1st series OPC trading cards.

The more common is the "Kenner Toys coming soon".  The "Diary" which you got.  The 3rd variation is a "Camera"

I'm still on the hunt for the camera one myself.

Thanks Clint, picked it from a guy in Seebringville through Ebay. If I get a chance to pick up the Camera version I will get 2!

That would be awesome.
I got lucky a few years ago and picked up a loose wax wrapper is the "toys coming soon" & the sealed wax pack is the "diary".
