I'm okay with the way they do it for the most part.  I'm okay with small edition sizes - makes them more exciting and special to collect IMO.

I'm also okay with the club.  Even if the 'gift' isn't something worth $50, it's value cuts into the $50 that we spent.  So if the gift is worth $25, then it's like we only spent $25 to be in the raffles.

Having won a Gree and Malak and turned that into a Neyo - the PG club has already been well worth the price for me and there are still 3 more clone commander raffles to go before the 5-pack.

And if by some miracle I win a 5-pack, I can trade off all the ones I already have for busts I'm missing.

Congrats Brent!



I'd love to pick up a DT Luke eventually - but once I finish out the last 5 figures I'm missing, I'm going to upgrade a few, then I'm going to go after the VC Jawa.


I picked up the rest of my co-workers old toys today.  There was a Slave I that needs a boarding ramp, an AT-AT that needs a side door but is otherwise complete, a Jabba's Dungeon, another Speeder Bike, some Star Destroyer Parts, the Harpoon for my Snowspeeder, a few Mini-Rigs and a handful of parts like a Falcon Radar dish.

So I know this isn't the place, but if anyone has any of the following - I'm looking for some parts to complete his old stuff:

1 Cloud car Canopy
1 Ewok Village Drum
1 Slave I Boarding Ramp
1 Slave I Cockpit Glass (this one is scratched up bad)
1 (of each side) Snowspeeder Rear Exhaust Cones
1 Snowspeeder Harpoon MOUNT
1 Princess Leia (White) Cape
1 Ewok Village Rail (the flattest one, I think it only has 3 prongs)
1 Imperial Attack Base Roof Panel
1 AT-AT side door
1 Droopy McCool Mic

There might be more, but off the top of my head that's what I'm looking for.

I can't believe I won not one, but both raffles.  DAMN!  I hope my luck holds for the Cody bust.

Did your trip to San Diego get canceled?

And there are way too many idiots just like that posting over there.  Especially in the 30th Anniversary section.  Nothing but a bunch of whiny, little bitches.

We saw a lot of that recently in the wrestling thread over there.

I think unproduced OT figs in the vintage line is the only way to go.  It's the only way to make it 'special.'  $10 for the same quality fig as in the basic line is unjustified, and if we got Tarkin, Wedge, Slave Leia etc. on vintage cards it would make for a substantial reason to collect them carded.  Otherwise, I'd like to see the whole thing go away. 

I still think they should stick to what's vintage can be vintage again - but if they have to step outside of that, I might be able to convince myself that this was okay.

Prequel characters, under no circumstance.

It was an eBay auction that had Boba and Jango together in one auction. The total came to $272.00 with shipping. I wanted the Boba more than the Jango.

Jango auctions are ending around $30

I'd call that a $230 Boba, a $30 Jango, and $12 to ship.

Or you could say that you got a great deal on a Boba by getting completely ripped off on a Jango. 


Not to split hairs...  that's just how I'd break it down.

Malak looks like he just crapped his pants!

Funny, that's what I did when I saw that picture.
