One word picture:



OOOooohhh...  Purty!    

When?  this is one of those movies my wife enjoys.  so long as the babe is kicking serious, um, bum, they it's all cool.  she can't stand the women running in heels, shrieking and falling down.  

Tainted Love  Soft Cell

I don't collect cans but I'd take Adam's advice on opening it if I were you.  Drain and rinse.

I had a can of coke sitting around here at work for the longest time.  Nice controlled environment, never too hot, never too cold.  One day, about 2 1/2 years after putting it on the shelf, psssssst, it opened itself and proceeded to drench everything around it including my monitor at work  One new monitor later and I never leave sealed cans around.  

I've had old cans of pop rupture at home as well, for no apparent reason.  I'm sure there is a reason, but I don't know it.  

You've been warned.

Fair?  What is this fair you speak of?  

Seriously, I'm inclined to agree with Chewie, splitting them up will likely net you better results.  It will take longer to get rid of them, no doubt.  

As far as fair goes, what you paid for them is fair.  I've never understood why people expect to pay less later (or for loose, for that matter - not talking vintage stuff).  

Your cost plus taxes plus the buyer covers the shipping costs.  That seems fair to me.  Anybody that thinks you should take a loss is not anybody I'd want to deal with.

If you want to make some money, some of that should fetch over retail on ebay, but that's not for me to decide.  

I think it could be considered hard to find, but not a real variation.  It is a genuinely re-released figure with a different head.  I'm using the word variation to mean something not intentional.  

The rebel soldier has two head variants while the imperial officer has three.  A good find nonetheless.

Ah, that may explain the difference.  I got mine loose. I have never seen one up close in the package.  Pics look cool, but that's irrelevant.  The levers do indeed work, it just seemed so plain to be so hard to get and so desirable.   I did get a very good price on it though.  I presume the vintage is not so good?

Huh, that's funny, I thought the skiff was one of the worst.  It's just so.....basic.  Reallly not that much to it, particularly given what they go for.  I'm happy to have it and all, but I don't think it rates in the top five.
