Dude, the Naboo Starship needs to be opened to be fully appreciated. It was definetely an underrated toy when it was first released.

Hopefully you find it and open it soon. It's really a neat piece.  :)

I love the Naboo ship.  It's too damn big for me to put anywhere right now (it's on the floor of my closet) but I still like it a lot.  There's a lot of things I remember more fondly from TPM than I thought.  Hmm.

Great toy, but also the reason why we will never see a (new) large scale vehicle from Hasbro.

That's true. I remember buying this two months after it came out for $50.

You're not serious??

Normally I'm neither a carded collector nor a vinty collector, but that makes even me squirm....

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA






That was just warming up  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D







Seeing as the vintage stuff is more about my childhood, I figured i'd let me oldest son Dominik open them up  ;D

A Klaatu with a clear bubble and unpunched card?

I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool MOC collector, but even that made me squirm a bit.  ;D

Wow, those were absolutely beautiful cards. 

May I have a moment of silence?   :'(   ;)

LOL!  Yeah, being a vintage kid that did make my stomach curdle.  At least it was a Klaatu.  I remember someone on the boards bought a carded Vlix and opened it.  Not that I give a rip about Vlix but that's an expensive one to open.

I had to look twice to notice it was a VOTC Stormtrooper.
