nice find, am not a SW fan either, aside from my kiddie collection, but that is an awesome ship. even the new one in TRU still amazes me, and the box is huge.
the other nice SW vehicle is the newly scaled Falcon, which they had on play display at John Lewis!- needless to say I made sure it was worth them putting it out!
btw Shaun, which boot did you goto?

That's a damn good point. I wonder if the new one has the same size components as the original 1984 version I now have? They probably used the same mold!?! Mind you they are about £70 in Toys R Us aren't they?
I go to every car boot in Bucks, Herts and Berks that I can fit in. The one I get the most from is the James Bone car boot (Stablebridge Road (off A41), Aston Clinton, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire)
Wait a minute.. are you going to go and scoop up all the bargains? Damn it.. I should have kept quiet about it all!

Shaun don't worry, I'm usu working weekends, so never get a chance to get to the boots, last one I went to was last yr at the j1 m40 one, tend to stick to ebay for now..
looks like you're picking up some fine stuff though.
if you did buy the TRU shuttle, you could do what those damned crazed fans do , and take the parts you need then return it as incomplete! sorry just seeding evil......

Is that all you guys think about? Tsk. It should be black and yellow. Chopper could complete the kessell run in well under 5 parsecs I reckon.
