Deals can be had out there & it sure has! I'm sure there will be more to be found.  ;)

Don't supposed then you can head them my way eh? :P I've not found anything that I could afford on ebay in a long time, a long time...

All depends on what your budget is, how much are you willing to spend on a certain figure. Try checking out the foreign market, France, Germany, Netherlands, UK...

Sometimes sellers list there auctions by posting in there own countrie listing but may ship internationally & it will not show up on the main search. Thats were I found a few of my last 17.  ;)

Even look at figure lots, they may produce some results. Look at the hit counter to see how many people are viewing as you may not be the only one watching.  :-\

So many ways to find stuff, even a miss-spelling of a word or letter can bring something up & putting the words together or breaking them up, eg: Blue Snaggletooth = Blue Snaggle Tooth.

Searching takes time, patience is the key in finding stuff. May take days, weeks, months or even a yr. or more  but when found... 8)

A couple of months ago I bought a Creature Cantina for $42 on ebay, the auction was pretty vague and just said “new in box” I kinda took a chance and bid- as it turns out it’s in a sealed box, pop removed but I can live with that.

Oops, I did it again

Honestly, I didn't think I'd win that auction because that's only about $13 per carded figure.  I think it's a pretty good deal and I'll probably open up a Biker Scout so I have a dead mint one.  Not quite sure what to do with the rest :-[

Nice, who's left?  That's a pretty good price for Sise from what I can remember.  I think the last couple were over $80 pretty easily without the coin. 

Wanna buy a carded Ewok?

BTW, the biker scout is the last thing I need on trilogo.  I already have a pretty immaculate one, so I'm not sure what I was thinking.  Just saw what looked like a good deal and went with it.  I expect most of that lot will end up back on the bay :-X

I can take King Gorneesh of your hands. I only have Ugrah Lady Gorneesh & Dulok Shaman thus far.

I jumped on that Sise Fromm, like you said, he has gone for more. So far I have Fromm, Thall Joben, 3PO & R2. If I can get Tig Fromm out of the way, the rest should be easy.

If I can complete the Ewoks and Droids figures this year, I will be very happy.  :)

I keep toying with the idea of whether to do the Droids line or not :-\   3PO, as you know, is quite a pain.  The rest, aside from the good fellow you just picked up are pretty easy and have been on ebay lots of late.  Ewoks, not surprisingly, are of little interest to me.

I'm on my way with the Droids line now and it's all down hill thus far, I'll work on set as they come around. Ewoks can come second, once there completed, I'll figure out something else I need.  :-\

Scored this Canadian Chief Chirpa in a bit of a bidding war with the illustrious Canadian collector wookiemonster.  A bit more than I wanted to pay but the Chief was the last  one I needed to complete my Jedi Canadian Ewok run ;D

Nice score on the Slave 1 Dale 8) How much did Customs ding you for on that out of curiousity?
