Pretty cool. I've never heard of an entire case of these being found, much less for sale.

Those are the vintage ROTJ (or, in this case, ERDJ [El Regreso del Jedi]) Argentina Stormtroopers. Very similar to the standard vintage stormie, but with a few sculpt differences (slightly smaller and different plastic). Card is different, too.

Neat find!

I was wondering why I thought that auction pic looked familiar. So this new seller just pulls the pic from the previous auction, or do we have something more sinister afoot?

Yeah, when I saw both of them something did not look right Jason. The winner of the link I provided is a newbie from Germany and the link CHEWIE provided the seller is also from Germany but listed the item location from the US. Same pic and a copied description.

Also the seller has the listing as private bidders, just raises a red flag IMO.

The other auction is gone. Pulled?

Anyway, dispite the fact that these are non-domestic figures, this is like someting out of a dream.

They REALLY had 48 stormtroopers in a single case?  REALLY?  It does feel like a dream!
