I up for sale a nice vinty loose POTF Tatooine Skiff. Since I upgraded to a boxed version, it's time to let this one go.

This Skiff displays very nicely & would be great to add those vinty figures to recreate the a scene at the Sarlacc Pit.  

This Skiff comes complete with all it's parts but a few pieces are broken. I will explain below the picture.







One of the side rails is missing a tab, most common with these. Also a plastic connecting pin has broken of one of the rudder fins. Could be repaired but will leave that up to the buyer.





The top two pictures show where a piece of the front rail has broken loose. The rest of the rail is firmly attached & shows some stress where the rest of the rails are attached.



The same goes for the rear rail, one piece has broken loose & rest of the rail is firmly attached & shows some stress where the rest of the rails are attached.

The remote-activated landing gear & the remote-activated gang plank works fine. Just a little squeaking from the landing gear control lever. Seems to be a bit stiff but works fine. The control lever for the gang plank slides smoothly & pushed all the way, the hinged plank tip will drop.

The trap door on deck springs open with ease so you can filp Boba Fett into the pit.  

The leaver for the rudders works fine.

No box, inserts, decals or instructions come with this tho 12back.com does have instructions & decals that came be downloaded & saved. Hopfully you can print them out & run off a set of decals if you want.

This is an awesome vehicle to have. I am asking $170.00 US plus shipping.

Also note that I am from Hoth Canada, I only charge exact shipping costs. Payment can be made via Paypal but I have to ask that you cover the Paypal fee. Other forms of payment can be discussed.  

If you have any questions or need more pictures, just shoot me a PM.  

Thanks for looking.

Medicom update today.

GEORGE LUCAS FINALLY LOSES HIS MARBLES

These almost look like the Starbles I picked up awhile back off the bay. Here’s a quote posted on RS from Scott Bradley:

There was a set of 12 of these Starbles sold through vending machines in theatres in Southern Ontario. Apparently, Southern Ontario was a test market, and the Star Wars Starbles never really took off, so they never saw wide distribution. You could also obtain a promotional kit/case that contained all 12 Starbles as well.

I also found this at actionfigureinsider.com plus they are listed on the archive.



I’m sure as heck not collecting these, just another way to bleed out another SW line me thinks. 

Yep, you read it right.
