Interesting Ebay Stormtrooper Find
« on: February 24, 2006, 05:10 PM »
I don't know for sure what I am looking at here -



http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-TOP-TOYS-StaR-WarS-ROTJ-STORMTROOPER-CASE-x48_W0QQitemZ6039107803QQcategoryZ19069QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Can any vintage experts shed any light?

Pretty cool. I've never heard of an entire case of these being found, much less for sale.

Those are the vintage ROTJ (or, in this case, ERDJ [El Regreso del Jedi]) Argentina Stormtroopers. Very similar to the standard vintage stormie, but with a few sculpt differences (slightly smaller and different plastic). Card is different, too.

Neat find!

I was wondering why I thought that auction pic looked familiar. So this new seller just pulls the pic from the previous auction, or do we have something more sinister afoot?

Yeah, when I saw both of them something did not look right Jason. The winner of the link I provided is a newbie from Germany and the link CHEWIE provided the seller is also from Germany but listed the item location from the US. Same pic and a copied description.

Also the seller has the listing as private bidders, just raises a red flag IMO.

The other auction is gone. Pulled?

Anyway, dispite the fact that these are non-domestic figures, this is like someting out of a dream.
