I never thought I was ever going to find a shuttle that I could afford, one of it's wings is faulty, but once I'd removed the spring & after about 3 hours cleaning it displays really well..I just can't get over how big it is

I also got that 30th Joseph Colton figure @ last,for the bargain price of a tenner ,as well as a tatty, but near complete shadow track with , which didn't cost me a bean coz I exchanged some vintage action man bits with the dealer..A complete Ice-Viper for £5 & a nice condition driver for £3..
Hope you don't mind me showing off, but I've been so excited with my new toys..now I've just got to put in loads of overtime to afford 'em

Very well done !!!! why do I never find any bargains ?

It would look great in red but something like that I would say noooooooooooooooo leave it as it is. That's a great haul though is that toyfair on annually in the NEC?

Thanks guys hope you don't think I showing off, it's just I sooo happy with that shuttle
I think the toy fair's on @ the N.E.C. every two months or so, it's well worth the visit as it the largest one in the U.K. (I think) 600 stalls! , costs £5.50 entrance with free parking, every other event I've ever been to @ the N.E.C. costs £7 parking on top of the events entrance fee..
I've just found the flyer,next one is on 27th september here's the web site: http://www.bpfairs.com/..
It was massive with just about every toy you can imagine..mostly die-cast & older stuff, a few star wars bits,the guy I got the shadows bits off didn't know any thing about stuff..so I helped him piece together the right figures with correct weapons, not that he had much,& a lot less when I'd left him

I would love to go maybe next year and visit my girlfriend too I would love to come back with great stuff I did see the other day an Action Man HQ in a charity shop but it would be totally out of scale

Sweet f*cking Jiminy cricket. I'd donate testicles for that lot and you scored it for $20au? Holy Christ in a box.

You, lucky, lucky bastard..... this would never happen in Australia, I must be going to the same dodgy shops as Andy. Lucky, lucky.....

Oh, and no, not red. Fill it with Imperial Officers and hang it from the ceiling.

That Red Laser looks box fresh! One of the nicest I've seen, and for a bargain price. I fear the next NEC toy fair may be overflowing with BFTB members now though mate!
