That's an interesting book Clint, and very cool that you got it signed by the author. Sounds like you guys had a great time at the convention.
those Canadian 77 back ROTJ mocs are in great shape Chris, well done on picking those up'
Love the artwork on those place mats Clint, especially the bounty hunters one, that is awesome!

Not a Star Wars pick up, but I received this great new addition on Tuesday 02/11/2022 at 9:03 am. Weighing 6ib 12oz.
Please welcome Elizabeth Honor

Nice Clint! Is that the last piece you need to complete the display?

Wow a 40 year old bottle of Coke! I wonder what that would taste like?
congrats Clint on scoring, what must be quite a rare thing to find clapping

by **Commander Clint** Wed Mar 08, 2023 3:14 pm

Thanks Chris.
I don't think that I hazard a guess, as what it would taste like.
Unfortunately there are a couple harder pieces to find. The 10 oz. can & the 1L bottle are tough to find.
As well as the floor mat.

by **grinchy** Wed Mar 08, 2023 3:17 pm

Wow, nice pickup Clint, good luck on finding the others

by **Commander Clint** Wed Mar 08, 2023 3:20 pm

Thanks Ian. Finding the rest of the other pieces are going to be tough to track down.

Good to hear from you Bill.
My collection still isn't very large. As it still remains a "Canadian" focus. But I do manage to pick up a few smaller pieces, here and there.

Good luck in whatever you are collecting these days. cheers

Got this one in a recent pickup. I'm curious how other cardback collectors display or store them....looking for ideas.

Nice pick up Dave. cheers

I have a few stored in "toploader's". But most are in resealable 6x9" cellophane bags.

nice pick up Dave, looks in good shape to

by **grinchy** Thu May 18, 2023 7:20 pm

So i haven't bought any vintage in a loong time, but saw this on ebay and had to have it, paid just under 34 pound shipped, happy memories of this ship as a child, got rid of it a few years ago and regretted it, glad to have it back, only something basic but i thought i'd post

Nice one Ian. It looks like it's in great shape. Well done. cheers

by **grinchy** Thu May 18, 2023 7:52 pm

cheers mate, i was looking for it complete, but usual prices are really expensive, i went in at the last second at auction to nab it, should be here soon

by **firstjedi** Thu May 18, 2023 9:51 pm

Well done Ian, great condition. Just need a cool looking driver now.

by **grinchy** Fri May 19, 2023 3:15 pm

cheers mate, i have a driver, missing his weapon, checking ebay, its cheaper to just buy a complete commando rather than the gun itself, see what happens

by **chris.75** Sat May 20, 2023 5:38 am

Nice pick up Ian, that Forest Ranger looks in great condition. It might just be the lighting in the pics. But it looks quite grey in colour. My one, that I've had for as long as I can remember, is a greenish brown colour. Is mine colour degradation or did they come in two different colours?
