toypalace (Germany) is the place for these. Prices are quasi reasonable but shipping is a tad scary for North America.
Vaders helmet display
I didn't find the other display, though they had it before, or the figs themselves. Cool stuff.

I think Bob and Dale are both working. Night Owls.
Presumably those are the kids you speak of. Junior.

Wha.... me? I never cause anyone any trouble. Geez, my llama replacement says it all.
And I am in Winnipeg. I'm not near anyone or anything.

Belated welcome Cory. Can't sleep, so might as well be cordial.
Beware that first name stuff though. You might get a thread with your name in it then get locked out for a week.

Uh, from 50-99 would be what?
Hmm, maybe I shouldn't irritate you, lest JediMac impose another sabbatical on me.
gotta run

Vintage Kenner / Re:Got My First Vintage Figure Today!
« on: April 3, 2003, 12:53 AM »The lighting makes it look worse than it is. In the picture, it looks like there is a huge dent above the "RS" in Wars, but in reality, it is just a little bit of a wave in the card.
I think I'll go for the Ewoks next
Ewoks suck!

Collector's Tips / Re: Keeping up with figures
« on: April 3, 2003, 12:39 AM »
It's all in my mind. Mwah hahahaha. Now if that don't scare ya, nothing will.
I know most everything I have, simply by memory. There are a few gaps as I traded quite a bit away last year, but still, it's pretty easy to know that POTF2 is complete, carded, except for Darktrooper, who remains a gap. Too much for one figure, though I suppose it won't really come down in price. And I suppose I paid just as much for that accursed wedge figure.
I reckon there are about 150 loose figures and probably a couple of hundred carded. Somewhere around that number anyway.
I used to love the checklists at collectstarwars.com. Wave by wave was pretty neat. I think Hasbro has done an interesting thing with respect to tracking with the Saga line and numbering the figures (at least on US cards). The lists here are pretty good and straightforward.
Must be my age preventing me from using a database

Alas, poor Camaro, I knew him well.
'68, kind of a pale lime green and only a six but I loved that car and would kill to have it again. I paid (sit down) a whopping $2500 for it back in 84. Sold it for $3000. Boy do I regret that. If I could find one for under $10K now, I would buy it.
I like the 67-69 Camaro/Firebird, 64 1/2-68 and 70 Mustangs. I liked the superbee and a couple of other gas guzzling beasts as well. Of course, all are classics now and out of my price range.
Gotta have centerlines on it though.
Oh well.

The link I posted sells it as well, but I thought the price a little steep.
Define Canadian Vader for me Scott.
I will be watching that link you provided in case Frankenberry comes online. The last time I had any must be the last time I went to the US with my parents, so probably some time in the early to mid eighties. It's been a long time coming.
Strangely, my daughter is allergic to strawberries (and nothing else), a gift from my mother. I guess I'll just have to take a bowl and spoon to work with me
Seasonal?! I suppose I couldn't support the sales all by myself. But if I can find it in MOA, a road trip may be in order.

Well, I'm still protesting the lack of a certain breakfast cereal in either Canada or most of the United States. Therefore, I don't eat breakfast very often at all.
Somebody out there help me. Find me this cereal PLEASE!

Evil little man. I'm not sending you your comics anymore. I'm keeping them. That was cold.
I was pumped at CZ3, the Tonnika sisters invoked the cynical side.
