Sweet! Congrats on the VC Jawa! So Vlix is next or the 63rd coin or something else to tide you over?

Thanks, nice to finally have one.

Vlix is the goal, i have been saying for a while, so basically that money is set to the side just waiting for one to come along. The 63rd coin would be nice. I had one offered to me in the past for 650.00 if i remember correctly, i regret not buying it then.  :-[

I received these Canadian department store Consumers Distributing catalogues in the mail today. Issues 1977/1978, 1979/1980, 1980/1981, 1982/1983 (US version) & 1983/1984.



Talk about taking a trip down memory lane.  ;D   8)

Just a few tidbits inside them:

1977/1978: Kenner's Six Million Dollar Man $9.49, Transport Repair Station $12.49, Bionic Woman $10.49, Space 1999 Stun Gun $6.97, Space 1999 Utility Belt 3.75. Oh man that hurts!  :'(

1979/1980: SW Death Star Station $29.99, Die Casts as low as $4.99, Millennium Falcon $35.55, Jawa Playset $12.77, 12" Boba Fett $19.99, other 12" $12.97, 3 pack Figures $6.99 & the Wind Up Walking R2 a whopping low of $2.99. Oh that price on the R2 really hurts more now.  :'(  :'(

1980/1981: Star Trek Movie Figures (4 pack) $8.88, Buck Rogers Figures (3 pack) $6.99, SW Snow Speeder $19.88, Dewback $9.99, Cloud Car $11.44, Land Speeder $8.88, Radio-Controlled Jawas Sand Crawler $44.98, 5 pack figures $14.44. Ouch, time to kill me!  :'(  :'(  :'(

1982/1983: US version, SW Darth Vader Figure Case $9.86, Action Figures $2.57 each. Dang!  :'(  :'(  :'(

1983/1984: SW Wampa $9.44, AT-AT & 3 Figures $39.76, Slave 1 $24.99, AT-ST Walker $14.99, SW Figures $3.99 each, Jabba the Hutt $17.77. Holy crap on a stick!  :'(  :'(  :'(  :'(  :'(

Tho back in those days, it was big $$$ to our parents.  :-\

I really miss Consumers Distributing, ahhh the good old days!  8)

Wow, that Death Star Droid kicks the crud out of the loose, all weapons included, C9 IG-88 I got in the mail today. Nice!

I still like my IG-88 though...hes very cool, in great shape, theres like no paint wear.

Picked up a 77back ROTJ Darth Vader on Canadian card (sorry I'll try and add a pic later) it's the non-pointing version. Nice MOC the bubbles alittle yellow but no major flaws and looks great in my collection room now only 5 more Vaders to go  ;D.
