Couldn't believe my luck as I picked up this BEB for 30p along with some other LRG's as well.

Looks like he's been through the wars a bit.

Thought I'd include a pic of the back, as that aspect never seems to get shown.
Thanks for looking, I love show and tell

Where did you find him? Yardsale? Swap Meet? You are lucky to get one. Prices are outrageous right now. And the same person is buying all of them.

Jammy b'stard! That's one of my favourites, but I don't have that sculpt. Where did you find him?

Soak him in some warm water & washing powder for a few hours and he'll look sparkly.

Bootsale.

Bought him along with some real ghostbusters ghosts and some foaming monster sponge for 30p. See other posts.

I can see why they are expensive, I have found about 8 ninja mites since I joined this forum, but this is my first BEB. Looking at the sculpts, I can now see why they are collectable.

(((((Who sculpted them in the first place??

big field people pull up with their cars and just sell all the stuff they dont want no more

Then usually the stuff they dont sell then gets dumped behind by ppl that cant be bothered to load it back in their cars....

we have similar things here, but they are organized and weekly. plus you cant leave anything behind or you get fined.

Yes. Basically a bunch of sellers gather and peddle their stuff. Its an every weekend thing. I have not been in a couple years. I wonder if I could find some good stuff like BEB . Last time I went there wasnt much for vintage toys.

There is one near me that takes about 3 hours to look round, way too many commercial set ups there though. Not enough one time sellers.

i find the same as you that nowadays since the creation of ebay you have to be very lucky to find any vintage toys at a carboot sale/fair gone our the days when you used to be able to pick up a load of star wars figures for like 10 p each i miss those days i find it harder and harder to find any thing exciting or interesting any more at bootys
