Just picked up a AFA Y-75-85-85 R2-D2 with Pop up Lightsaber. Just a few more to complete my set.

I traded my VCJ back to get my carded Boba back. My friend used it to acquire a AFAed Droids Boba and they gave him a $1,500.00 credit for the Jawa, that's a $500.00 gain in just a few weeks of owning it.
tomorrow my four Fett's will be together once more.

Picked up a Kenner Ewok Glider unused with sealed baggy, a Palitoy sticker and it was made in Mexico. Usually don't like to get opened items but this was a gift so it's extra awesome.

I'm no expert so I wouldn't bet my life on it's authenticity, but I do trust the person it's from.

Cardback, bubble, skirt all repros. Blaster is vintage Kenner.

Figure is authentic vintage Uzay. Someone colored/painted the shoulders and boots which is wearing off now. But I'm thrilled to add this to my collection finally.

This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within

What makes the UZAY Snowtrooper different from the Kenner (aside from the packaging, of course)?

The most obvious difference is the "cod piece" is black and then the "groin" is white as opposed to the opposite on the Kenner version.

And when I said "thrilled to add THIS", I really just meant any bootleg figure produced by SB Products in the 80s.

Ahh.  Got it.  I took a quick peek on another site and didn't notice this difference.

Looks like they used a Kenner Snowtrooper on the Cardback.

Found a twin pod cloud car at a thrift store  :), missing one canopy and no stickers  :(
But nice condition for its age.

Picked this up from a seller in Brazil. It's missing the decals (other than the one inside the cockpit). The right wing doesn't stay on (I'll be trying to attach it somehow so if you have any tips please let me know). One in great condition is out of my price range. So I'm stoked to add, as not perfect is it is, this variation to my collection. I love the colors of the plastic.

Nice grab Nick!  How does this thing compare to the vintage Kenner Interceptor?  I know zilch about the the Glasslite stuff.

Kenner gave Glasslite their molds so same there. The decals are different (if I had them), and the color of the plastic is much different. The ball is almost shiny silver and the wings are a dark grey (saying they are black is inaccurate, but tinted that way).
