Wow! That's awesome, Justin. I'm jealous of that Fett. Congrats. I'll have to drop by and see your collection when I'm in town next.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Vintage Collection Pricing - Sales, Discounts, Price Hikes!

I think it's just the psychological thing about thinking you're getting a deal when really you're getting things for what they normally cost or a small percentage of what you'd normally pay. I mean grandmas and grandpas aren't going to know the regular price for items. They'll see the $7 when normally $10 (when it's usually $8) and think they're getting a great deal and pick it up. It happens in clothing and others things, not just toys.

If it's to scale and doesn't have explosion power, I'm in. (I was referring to the Speeder)

Awesome, Justin. Those are some nice nabs! Would definitely love a Gonk Droid in the vintage line-up.

« on: May 16, 2012, 04:40 PM »Anyone have a red bandana Kithaba they are willing to part with? I've had no luck tracking one of these down. I'm willing to pay/trade heavy for it...
I finally saw several Kithaba's at retail last night, and all had the brown bandana.
How were the Evazan's (if there were any)? scar or no scar variant?

So, being that the torso is BAD, I wonder what the price would be if someone were to build a monster droid (with four arms)? Would it be more, or would it be the same if the person skipped out on a middle leg and hat?

I guess she doesn't need too many more scoundrels in her life.These are awesome. I'm envious. I bet it would be super expensive to find ANH figures on Star Wars cards. I'm sure you're happy with getting vintage ones, no matter what film is on the card.

« on: May 14, 2012, 10:47 PM »Vader does not exactly seem like the prisoner taking guy anyway...
Really? Princess Leia? Han/Leia/Chewie? Luke? He's personally taken a prisoner in every movie of the OTC.
They were part of Vader's plan to lure Luke to the dark side.

Unlike Pete, I have a wife who would probably as soon divorce me as allow me to travel to FL to buy stuff like this.
My head almost imploded when I thought about what it would be like to tell my wife I was going to do what Pete did.
It's all for the baby... Nick, it's something you'll need to learn to tell the wife.

Thanks for posting nyknight! Some interesting people on there. Scott (who does these wishlists) also has some pics of people on his 'Who's left" thread. One that I'd like to see is Spider/Scorpion Grievous.

Yeah, since it's a set with Iron Grenadiers, it's a pass for me, too.
