Star Wars bargain!!!! And I didn't find it!

Post by Shaunyboy »

So I've just been home for the weekend to see my silver haired mother and she suddenly chirps up.."Oooh! I nearly forgot... I saw some old figures and I bought them for your collection. They were 50p each" She went out of the room for a minute and to be honest, I expected her to come back with the either Ken or Barbie. Here's what she got:

He's a bit battered, but bloody hell! A Last 17 A Wing pilot!!!! I paid £15 for mine a few years ago on eBay! Nice one Mum!

Apparently there is a kind of antiques / flea market every Tuesday morning in my old town.

The funny thing is I was a little bit pissed off that I wouldn't get to go to a Car Boot sale this weekend, on the hunt for figures. I feel like I'm on a roll and this weekend was going to break my lucky streak. Then a great figure comes to me?!!?

My cousin also had that "AF5" guy. I don't know what did he do with the figure.
Congrats for the SW pilot, Shauny!
