I finally picked up the drum/seat for the Ewok Battle Wagon which I have been looking for forever. Now I just need the ladder and I am done with that set.

Starting to window shop for At-At's again too...man, those thing have gone up noticeably in price even in the past few months.

Well, I've officially succumbed to the Dark Side...bought my first carded EWOKS figures, Lady & King Gorneesh. God help me.

At least I only have four left to worry about, and they are not brutally expensive if you're not terribly choosy about the card condition, which I am not.

I could have gone the loose route but it's not that much more to go carded so I figured what the hell.

For DROIDS, I think carded is probably out. A few of those are crazy high.

Upgraded my vintage stash with a much nicer X-Wing complete with original box. The one I had from back in the day was not showing the years well. Think this completes any upgrades for stuff I already own.

Picked up a carded Logray last night, along with my first DROIDS figure, a carded Kez Iban.

Got my replacement X-Wing upgrade in the mail, the thing looks sweet.

Ugh, busy fortnight, picked up a carded Dulok Scout, as well as a carded Thall Joben and a carded Jord Dusat.

I love these crazy animated figures.

Picked up a carded, unpunched Wicket to complete my Ewoks collection. I'm officially done with this line - woo hoo!

DROIDS uber alles!

Nice finds on the ewoks stuff, I managed to snage a near complete ewok village with box this weekend for $40. It has all the pieces but the main platform needs swapped because one of the spit poles was glued in place then broke off. So it has all the pieces but because of that I'm not considering it complete. Also picked up a boxed plush paploo in a trade.
The most prized possession of my entire star wars collection is my Sega Trilogy Special Edition Pinball Machine.

Picked up a carded Kea Moll over the weekend.

Getting ready to move so probably time for a self-imposed moratorium on purposes requiring shipping. Dangit.

Aw, screw it.

I bought a carded Tig Fromm this morning.  ;D I'll just have the seller hold it for a few days until I am officially relocated.

Loving me some DROIDS!

I guess the last one will be the elusive Droids Fett, he's a bugger to get at a good price. Last one I need to complete my carded set.

I checked out our yearly antique show yesterday & today, had a pass to get in early for helping setting up the hall & unloading boxes for a friend. Before the doors opened for the crowd, score!  ;D

Ewok Assault Catapult MISB... $15.



Ewok Combat Glider MISB... $20.



Star Wars Super 8 Film... $5.



POTF One-Man Sand Skimmer MOSC... $40.



Very happy with this find...  8)

Great finds Dale...  I was actually looking for a loose mostly complete catapult for customizing (for modern Ewoks...  I know, blasphemy, but I figure they shouldn't be too hard to find in rougher shape and able to take some paint)...  To get one MISB for $15?  That's nice man.  Gives me hope on finding that loose beater.

I love hearing people buying carded Droids and Ewoks figures, some of my favorites!
