I picked this beauty up off the bay for $14.00, an ESB In-Store Play Disc LP/Vinyl 1980 unused.  ;D

Not really SW but from the same era, this is a Canadian Sears Cryotron action figure case from 1981. This case is frickin' huge!  :o











You can read more about it in the Canadian Vintage Star Wars Resource site.

Very cool Dale!  I didn't have one of these when I was a kid, but I think one of my friends must have because it looks really familiar.

Yeah, that figure case is quite something.  ;D

Another addition to my Dunkin focus, a blue Wicket to go with the others I have.





So that's 4 of these buggers now, just gotta hunt the rest of the characters down.  :)

Dale, you've been rocking with the pickups lately - some very neat and obscure pieces. Do you focus on any particular type of vintage or just what you can get your hands on?

Cheers!

I really don't have a focus, I just randomly pick up stuff from various lines that is eye candy to me.  ;)

That AT-AT Driver is pretty sweet.  I picked up a great condition 8" vintage Jawa via a guy on RS recently.  Still need to get some weapons, Obi-Wan, and R2, but I'm getting closer!  (Would also like to upgrade my Luke, Threepio, Stormtrooper, and Vader at some point.  ::)

From this moment for all my life. What could I say? Was born to be this way. And what could I say?  Just livin' for today

Just received this gorgeous beauty I got of the bay, I have been after this puppy for a few years. Nice thing about this set is it's MISB (old store stock), just a very small paper tear on the bottom of the box & minor shelf ware. Absolutely a stunning piece & I'm very happy to add this to my collection.  8)
