I snagged a vintage boxed Wampa at an estate sale yesterday. The box is opened, but came with the cardboard insert and a minty white figure inside. I paid $25 for it - not sure if that's a good deal, but happy to upgrade the figure and add a vintage box to the collection as well. As usual, just nice to find something StarWarsy.

That dirty Biker is the last one I need for my collection, so doubly impressive from my perspective. I know how you feel about SW stuff though - I've been picking up Vintage toys left and right lately trying to fill the void.

I paid full price for one, then got a free signed one from Patient Zero. Cool character/figure, especially given the history and backstory.

Wow! These are amazing works of art dude! I would totall buy any/all of these sets in the stores. I didn't have a chance to check out the video, but definitely want to see how you went about this. How long did they take you? How did you get the colors? That Ewok set in particular is awesome with the wood coloring and black rope ties. Cool stuff man - thanks for sharing!

With Andrea demise the show's T&A percentage has dropped dramatically. Lori is kinda cute, and well Beth is being played by an adult so maybe it is possible we see more. But still I don't see those two stepping up to do the soft moonlight buttocks scenes. Producers if you are listening we need more T&A next season!

Nah, Karen is hotter than Andrea and in typical WD fashion, they simply replace the profile with a new character. Black guy dies, enter new black guy. Wise old guy dies, enter new wise old guy. Hot chick dies, enter new hot chick. Allows them to make every minute serious because a core character could die, but the group dynamic is fairly static all things considered.

I thought the finale was great. Did not see Andrea dying and did not see the Gov killing all his people. What a fantastic turn of events. I thought the attack on the prison was dead on and its ridiculous to think Rick & co. would move to Woodbury, not knowing the fortifications or having the manpower to defend it. They hold out at the prison till supplies dry up (which they already eluded to), then be forced to move on or starve.

The only question I had was when Tyreese was coming to relieve Sasha. Then he changes his mind and tells her to wait a little longer...where did he go? I thought this was Tyreese going to save Andrea, but I don't think they ever showed where he went, did they? Maybe it was irrelevant or maybe it will come up next season, but I thought that was odd. I also wonder if Tyreese or Sasha maybe burned the Woodbury Zombies instead of Milton - maybe Milton just let them out the gate. Would be an interesting turn to take.

I can't wait for Season 4 - ugh!

I initially thought the bubble looked like a repro as well. I have some bubbles like that from years ago when I had planned to make a custom Revenge of the Jedi Fett carded. However, I know almost nothing about Palitoy and they surely could have packed their figures this way. I'm sure some of the vintage experts out there could confirm, but I figured it was legit if it had the AFA sticker on it.
