POTF2 Recent Purchases
Jesse James:
I have no clue J, but I've gotta do a head count... literally, as I bought just an ASP-7 head too at that show in an accessory parts box. the head will look ok in a diorama or something.
MattCBR:
I've been having good luck on e-bay... I refuse to pay more than $6 shipped though since you never know what you're getting (condition wise).
Jesse James:
Continuing a streak that I think may go back as far as I have been attending the Pittsburgh Steel City Con, I picked up another ASP-7 Droid.
Why? Why not, I say!
For some reason it's become a joke that at every show, I somehow get one. One year all I got was the face to one, but I counted that as getting one. It was like $.25, which I thought it was funny the guy charged me at all.
This year, mine was sort of free. Part of a bundle I pulled off. :) Hooray for the labor pool of the galaxy! I don't know how many I have, but when I start setting them up like they're doing something, they sure look like they're getting nothing accomplished.
Scockery:
Actually made it to one of those craigslist yard sales that said STAR WARS before anyone else (in the past I've shown up 30 minutes after the sale started to hear "we just sold all that..."). It was all POTF to Saga era stuff.
I got...
Loose:
Luke with Speeder bike
SCout Trooper with speeder bike
Rebel with Radar Laser cannon (i'm doing good on Hoth stuff this year)
Luke Imperial Guard disguise sans cape (i still had that bare neck, btw)
Boba Fett with giant deluxe jetpack minus missile
Han Solo with smuggler flight pack (never owned this one before)
Crowd Control Stormtrooper (missing claw)
Plus
Darth Maul episode 1 deluxe missing lightsaber (never had this one, it's goofy fun)
Jabba the Hutt deluxe minus gong and Bode/Feed (never owned him, either)
MOC Destroy Droid
MOC dirty Battle Droid
MOC clean Battle Droid
All for $15...I made them an offer...I cheaped out. LOL.
Some kid showed up and start picking out some figures for $4 each or 3 for 10. Yeah, its funny that kid's going be enjoying figures, some over twice as old as himself...ones that have been largely adandoned by adult collectors for newer versions. Will POTF2 MOC wind up being rare because they were all sold 15 years later to kids who opened them? ??? Probably not.

That and collectors who open to make more room and to more easily display their figures.
I find that it's hard to find great condition cards... if anything those will/are the rarest of finds to be found cheap... it's getting harder to find POTF2 red cards that are in amazing shape (for a good deal).
