Latest vintage acquisition

I won this on Friday, what do you guys think?  I didn't really expect to win, which leads me to believe that something is wrong...
What does he mean by "Factory Error?"  I hope that was some sort of "bait" move because I don't care about errors (I'd rather not have them).

I have a feeling you might not be too happy with this one then.    He says pretty clearly that the "factory error" is that the Trooper's thumb is broken, and it's caught in the tape holding the gun in place.

That's a nice looking card and with the uber rare thumb off error, at least it's not bugs in the bubble.

Well, I received the Stormtrooper today and I have to say, it is much better than I had anticipated!  The card is in really good condition (I can't find anything wrong with it - no veins, bends, marks, etc) and the bubble is really clear!  I could care less about the "error" that the seller mentioned, and as such, I think it's a great display piece! 
Thanks for your feedback guys

Here is my latest. Finally I've been able to complete my Takara 8" Collection. I've been looking to complete this set for about 3 years. That damn Vader has been bugging my for a long time now. All the cards are a bit banged up, but in all honestly, condition doesn't worry me that much. I think the ware gives a bit more an old feel to them. These are now officially my babies.

Congrats on completing the set Simon, those are real cool. 
I saw the Chewy figure at C3 but it was way out of my league. 

With those out of they way, any plans for collecting something else?

Got 1 ESB Popy figure to go, and I'm working on a Takara 12 Back Set. I don't expect to finish either for quite awhile. Both are rare, even in Japan.

I've been trying to pick up a ROTJ Hoth Han for a while and was outbid in the final minutes on one yesterday.  So I waited and sniped one yesterday afternoon.  The bubble is a little yellow, but I finally go this.  My MOC focus right now is trying to get a Han on each cardback, SW, ESB, ROTJ, and POTF. I'm going for a basic run and then may go back later and try for different cardback variations.  I'm trying to get one Han in each outfit on each cardback.  The SW/ESB smuggler gear outfits are going to cost me a bit so I decided to start kind of low end.  I'll post pics sometime of my run.

3 More German General Mills figures in my collection.  There are a few items that I'll never find on UK Palitoy cards for a cheap enough price, so I'm happy with the German issues. They were still made by Palitoy in their factory in the UK so it's not totally cheating.

Gotta come over here and brag now don't ya Rob??

Dang! Nice carded figures Cris and Rob. 

I picked this up locally from Shane, unpainted Leia Boussh helmet.

Although my latest grab isn't a Mint item, or even a complete item, it's parts.

The snowspeeder parts complete a loose one I have.  The Dagobah boxes make me well on my way to buying a cheap Dagobah base with good foam.  The falcon parts will help complete one of the many falcon hulls I have sitting around stripped.  The other parts...will probably go back to Ebay unless someone here needs something....hint, hint.

I got a vintage Chewbacca in box (basically still sealed too-all tape in place and the twist ties intact along with all inserts) at a toy show not long ago, traded a dealer a TRU 4 pack from the POTF2 line, a Battlestar Galactica carded Cylon Commander and a Vintage Dungeons and Dragons Warduk on italian card for it. I'd say about $80 in trade for it.

Incredible! I have always liked those. Great work on getting the set. They look awesome.
