I don't have the figure yet, but the Hoth Han on the left is the one on it's way. 



These are awesome!  Did this come from Evilbay?  I must get one of those biker scouts!

On a side note, I have a few vintage capes and weapons missing from my collection.  Anyone know of a good authentic or maybe even repro seller?

They are from a member on RS, looks like he still has them.

As for weapons, maybe try The Earth or check the vintage classifieds at RS, I have seem the odd members with stuff for sale.

A big haul from the postman today.  ;D   8)

To start things off, I finally found a MISB Endor Forest Ranger.





This will go well with my Endor Forest Ranger proof I aquired awhile back.  8)



Next up is what appears to be a prototype unpainted first shot of the TaunTaun.





You can see the limbs are darker grey than the rest of the body in this pic.



I have been after a few Kenner store display's since I picked up my diecast display bin header back in 2004.

Kenner Diecast Display Bin Header.



So today, I am pleased to receive these 2 grail pieces to add to my collection.

Kenner 12 Back Display Header, a little rough but better than nothing.  ;D



Collect All 21 Bell: Hanger Display. Damn cherry!  :o   8)



Man, I have got to get those framed for display.  ;D

Dale,

Congrats on the pickups, the bell is super sweet. From the sounds of it, you don't seem completely sure on the status of the Taun-Taun, did you happen by it labelled as something else?

The TaunTaun was only labeled a prototype that was originally purchased from The Earth Collectible Toy Mall, no idea when. I talked to Gus & he mentioned that this is likely a unpainted first shot. Was thinking of getting ahold of The Earth for any background info on this piece.

Nice pieces Dale!  I've always liked the minirigs and the displays are nice.

I am curious about theauthenticity of vintage prototypes....seems to me that stuff could be easy to fake, but I've never tried to get anything like that for my collection!
This is the way.


I have spoken.

I seen this diecast on the bay long ago but the price was to much, now with the Canadian dollar doing good against the US dollar I jumped on this & the auction was late in the evening so got it at a fair price.  ;D

Another neat item I received today, a countertop store display bin with backer cards with a sealed package of SW collecting stamps. I remember back in the day picking up this stamp set & Woodwards, it comes with other space stamps but I don't remember seeing a store display.
