It's the long piece that's missing, but ironically, part of me does not want to fix it since it's been that way for longer than I can remember.   :D
This is the way.

With the help of my good friend Brent, this beauty arrived yesterday. A 31A back ESB FX-7 for my little focus.  8)

It looks to be in great shape, unpunched too.  Very nice addition Dale.

Meccano - what a unique piece!  Do you normally keep your vintage figures in cases?  It could be pretty tricky to find one for a Meccano figure.

Oscar's cases come in all shapes & sizes plus if you need any custom work, he can do it.  ;)

Yeah it is surprisingly in good shape. I usually try to keep them in a case, will have to pick one up eventually.

I picked this up of the French eBay site, Dorothée Les Petits Ewoks 45 record from 1985.





Have a listen here or here for the subs in French & English.  :D

Did the seller have another one?  I imagine Brent would like to add one to his collection.

I'll be sure to add some kind of Ewok thingy for Brent when I send him something.  :-X  ;D

I received this in the mail yesterday, another grail piece that I have been hunting down for awhile now done.  8)

WOW!  That Falcon is awesome!  The box looks in good shape as well...I really love the captions on the back!

How much did that set you back Dale?

What really impressed me was condition of the micro figures, not a mark on them. Very minty.  8)
