Latest vintage acquisition

[Dave]

Very cool. I miss buying carded vintage figs.

I'm too new to buying carded vintage figures and it honestly scares me that I'm way overpaying and/or buying fakes.

[GrandMoffNick]

I hear you. I'm glad for that reason most my high end vintage were bought 20 years ago

[Rob]

After years of wanting to, I bought an A-Wing this week.  Very pricey, might have overpaid, but I'm happy with it.

[Rob]

Filling gaps in my vintage collection is going to be a point of emphasis for me this year... Other recent adds...

TIE Fighter


Mini-Rigs:




Custom Canceled Droids Figures:

[McMetal]

Awesome! Where did you pick up the custom DROIDS figures? I’ve been meaning to do that myself, figure the quality has probably gotten pretty good at this point.

[Rob]

They’re expensive, but pretty nicely done!

I have their Weechee and Paploo figures coming in the mail any day.

The Threepio and R5 are Stan Solo.

[Muftak]

Thanks for posting that link, I have heard plenty about them but never sought them out as a potential customer.

Now I have a Fleet Trooper and Sandtrooper on the way ( that Hasbro ought to easily have taken my money for instead 4 years into the Retro line) and I am really considering a rocket firing Fett.

[Rob]

Haha... I get that.  I want to order a Captain Antilles and a few of those X-Wing pilots too. 

[Rob]

More new pickups...

Battle Damaged TIE (the stickers are modern replacements...)


Tri-Pod Laser Cannon


Ewok Catapult

[Rob]

Added another big one this week... the 1984 Skiff:

[CorranHorn]

Excellent vintage pickups lately Rob. That Skiff looks great. I would strongly recommend getting a stand for it to minimize wear and tear on the landing gear.

[Rob]

Thanks!  It’s getting expensive, but I’ve wanted to focus on rounding out the vintage stuff for decades now. 

Are the landing gear on these know to have issues just from standing normally?  There’s one I can get on eBay for like $40 shipped, but it’s going to be bulky compared to the space I was planning on putting it in.

[CorranHorn]

The peg area for the landing gear is quite small and with 40 year old plastic prone to warping on load, it’s mostly about risk mitigation.

[Rob]

Got it, thanks!


Another new pick up... got it a few weeks ago but finally managed to get it all cleaned up.

[Dave]

Nice.  I still need one of those.
