When I saw this thread title, I thought it might be 2 levels better than the top 5 hotties thread in Watto's Junkyard.  But alas, not one picture related to "Whip 'em Out Wednesday", or WOW.

Yeah, sadly it's the epitome of geekdom.  Ooh, looky at the old toys ::) :P

Not entirely wowie but I thought it was just such a nice piece that I'd share.  I'd love to be the owner.

Weird that the seller says this was a never before played with set, the figures aren't in Kenner baggies but rather in Zip-loc baggies. Sure hope that the buyer recognized it. Those sets were always cool and I would have loved to have something like them back in the day.

That's an awfully nice one.  Good white color and the stickers are nice and clean.  Mine's not nearly so nice as that, but considering I got it for $45 I'll keep it with yellowing, slightly curled stickers.

Not a bad price for that condition.

I saw one at this years antique show that came off a damaged card, the guy was asking over $300. CDN and this thing was mint and I mean mint! I have never seen a chrome dome shine like that let alone being pure white.  :o

Mint Blue Snaggletooth in Kenner baggie

oooh minty fresh snags.

I like this part of the description, it's just a contextual mistake but it sounds hilarious

"Tough to find the General Mills cereal premium by Kenner still in the sealed baggie!"

Who knew you could get Blue Snaggletooths inside your box of Lucky Charms! ;D

HAN HOTH + ESB 48 back + unp clear + Star Wars + AFA 95

I tell you what; the day I spend $2500 on a Star Wars toy is the day I add something very rare to my collection ... not a common production figure.
