Well, day before yesterday a Han Hoth in a Kenner baggies showed up at the house.  Looks awesome.  I was planning to get one of each basic Han in a baggie for this year.  I was able to accomplish that this month. I got Han Hoth (arrived), original Han and Bespin Han in the past week.  Two of them in one transaction.  I've already got an Endor Han.  So I'm stoked about this.  I'll get some pics eventually of the ongoing focus, looks pretty good in my IKEA cases.

Woah, somehow I missed this.  That's an awesome figure you got Dan!

Someday I'll have a Takara Vader, but it's going to be a while yet...  ;)

Okay, here you go for the pic of the new baggie figures.  Eventually I'm going to get all my Han focus uploaded and linked so you guys can see what I've been assembling over the past few years.

Thanks, I think my Jann Tosh is on a Canadian card too. So i still need to get him, but then i will have a complete American carded set and a couple of extra canadian ones. I think i need to get a Glasslite one too for that artwork.

The Han Solo you see there is on it's way to me as we speak.  Got a great price on it.  The one below was an auction I was keeping an eye on, but never got any word back from the seller about the feet and I wanted pics.  John A Graham over at RS posted that he had won it and I had mentioned that I had been eyeballing the piece but never put in a bid because the seller never contacted me.  He won it for a whopping $5...and guess what shows up at my house on Friday...that very figure.  So, no matter what issues many have with the powers that be at RS, many of the members are top notch in my book.

In addition to the two figures mentioned above, I've also got an unpainted micro bending/shooting Han from the Hoth set.  Lego Rob hooked me up with the piece.  Now I've got two unpainted Hans to go and I'll have a complete unpainted micro run of Han.  I think that's all I've got going on for now.  I've got a couple of other deals I'm working, but I've also got all my wife's medical bills from her DNC coming due, so the belt is having to be squeezed for a couple of months until that's handled.  That said, I've gotten a steal of deals the past two months from several RS members on stuff for my collection.
