Awesome Star Wars bargain!!!!

[Shaunyboy]

Sorry guys, I know this is an Action Force forum but I am so excited about this I've got to tell someone!

I got a Return of the Jedi Imperial Shuttle with instructions for £8 at a car boot sale this morning! It is incomplete to the tune of a side panel and ramp and the windscreen, but £8... holy sh*t! I've seen these go for a small fortune on eBay!

It's the best thing I have ever bought from a car boot by a long way! I appreciate some of you are not Star Wars collector's so my apologies if this is boring. In addition, you may have no idea what I am talking about, so I also picked up an Action Force SAS guy at the car boot today (for 20p) and put him in some of the pictures. Hopefully if you have never heard of this vehicle it will give you an idea of scale.

Hooray!

That's exactly what I did with an AT AT I bought for a fiver two years ago from a booty! i went and spent about £15 on eBay getting all the missing bits. ............Tits.

Shave me down and call me Susan! 50p for a Yak Face! Holy sh*t balls!

Initial once over indicates the ramp, windscreen, side panel, support strut and one gun mount. Should only set me back an additional £275 to complete the f*cker! Oh well, I'm chuffed anyway!

Hey, that's still a good price for a complete shuttle, I bet you where acting really cool whilst haggling the price with the seller & trying to hide that "rush" we all get when you find something extra special
Did the stall holder have any other Star Wars stuff lurking about under his table?

Ha! That's spot on! ....stay calm.... try not to show any emotion,,,! I even asked they guy what it was and he said "It's a Star Wars spaceship. It's quite rare, that's why it's a tenner." I knocked him down by two quid and legged it. He also had a ESB Snow speeder but it was battered. I suppose it could have been good for a custom? If anyone would be interested I'm happy to buy knackered stuff and pass it on.
