Hey mosnab, glad someone started a thread on this here

I love these things and have had good luck with them so far.  Through trading and luck in the store I have most of what I want from this line, but for the no mask Wolverine, which is way too expensive on ebay

From ML I I have ironman (inlcuding the gold one, which I saw four times in stores) and Captain America.  I paid only $5 Cdn for each, lucking into both on clearance at Walmart.  

From ML II I have only the doombot and the Thing.  I also got a trenchcoat thing from a friend on the Spawn board.  He is holding a Hulk with shirt for me until I get something else to trade.  I suspect those latter two and the movie DD I have are from the 'Best of' line.  

From ML III I have Wolverine, Thor, Magneto and the movie Daredevil mentioned above.  I guess mine is from III since we never saw the Best of line in Canada (yet).  I keep passing on Ghost Rider, mostly because I think it will scare my daughter.

I also have the original DD and a yellow DD (thanks Dain) plus a couple of the spiderman figs.  From the spidey line I have the Hobgoblin (have a spare if anyone wants to trade) and I snagged a Venom with the ooze junk the other day.  I like that Venom marginally better than the one from the Spiderman classics line.  I need the black spiderman still, but can't find a deal on ebay that I'm willing to take (yet).

Thinking about getting into vintage.  Figs only for the most part (though now that I remember, my Rancor is actually the Vintage version ).  To that end, I want to ask some questions of the knowledgeable folks.  Specifically I'll be curious about prices.  

My goals are as follows:  

complete loose figure collection, though not overly concerned about vinyl vs cloth cape Jawa for example.

not too concerned with the saber variations - eg. double telescoping vs anything else

not overly concerned about vlix or blue snaggletooth at this moment in time

I think I will start with imperials, given my biases, so the first questions are:

Vader:  how many versions and reasonable prices (US bucks)

Stormtrooper: price?

vinty poster: price?

Links are helpful too, just point the way.  Always happy to have questions answered personally though.  

There was also one ending last night listed as MIMP.  Pics included and the last bid I saw was $85.  

Just trying to learn.

Ewok hunter? Bah - haha! I hope you're better than your predecessors.

Indeed I am, angry little man.  Indeed I am.

You know,were the ones who bombard ewok villages from our stolen Star Destroyer. ::)Seriously,ewoks are OK,but we don't need more.

No, no, no.  Ewoks must die, it's really that simple.  Hairballs everywhere, coughing them up.  Really quite disgusting.

I think the line had a lot of duds, and too many versions of the main characters.  It was a pretty decent line though because it started out with Obi Wan and Qui Gon with, for the time, was a good amount of articulation, the figures able to hold the lightsabers with 2 hands.  We got a few too many versions of Obi Wan, Qui Gon, Maul, and little Anakin for my liking.  

Add Amidala to that list please.  How many were there?  7?  Well, maybe I'm adding POTJ to the list, but still, what's Lucas' fetish for clothing changes?  I was surprised in Ep II that she didn't change on the flight from Tatooine to get Obi

Oh man, that was yoor 666th post.  Yikes...

If you want, send me a PM and I can try and help you on some newer figures if you like.

 

Heh.  666, gone now, everyone remain calm, purely a coincidence

Thanks very much for the offer Chewie, I really appreciate it.  I'm doing fine though, having pretty much given up the hunt and relying on online retailers.  LMK if you find a Hoth Han with blue coat.  The rumor is the case I'm getting with him will be brown, so it would be nice to have both.

cheers.
