1/6th Scale Sideshow Boba Fett Figure

[galactiboy]

Yup. Like a fly in your soup.

Exactly, fly in my soup, pissin' in my cornflakes; all similar sentiments.

And its funny when people talk about accuracy and what not; I played with this for years and never once considered why Boba's helmet was primarily blue

 

[FLOSI]

You guys are cwazy!!! I can't wait to get this.

 

[pixletwin]

I never even noticed that Fett's helmet was blue until you pointed it out. Thanks a lot jerk!

 

[Invictus Sol]

But you were a kid, then, galacti. Playing with a $5.00 toy. :/ Don't think many of us at that age were too concerned with movie accuracy.

I know right... I didn't really think about it until earlier today when I posted a pic of my collection in another thread

Sure, but $5 was harder to come by then than $175 now Back then I had to wait to get toys, now I gets them whenever I want!!!

Even more true... although I think at the end they might have gone up to $2.99. $5 would have been like Wampa prices

 

[galactiboy]

I love that the image of Boba Fett on the offer looks even less like he should Guess it helped that getting these for regular home viewing was nearly impossible when we were younger

 

[devilof76]

Didn't Star Wars figures originally list around $1.79?

1.99.

Exactly almost what I was thinking.

 

[Invictus Sol]

1.99.

......

 

[galactiboy]

I looked on Rebelscum and they have the first figures at $1.99 and POTF releases at $2.99. Early bird special was $7.99 for 4 figures and the base. And I was wrong the Wampa was a whopping $8.99

I remember when I was a kid my most wanted toy when Jedi came out was the Rancor! F'n loved and still love that thing... grand total of $12.99 Not to mention you could often find figures discounted to like $.99 or less... I mean who could pass on a General Madine for $.25

Nope, never had an issue with Fett as he was by far the coolest Star Wars figure of that time (although the Scout Trooper was a very close 2nd for me).

I remember the Death Star playset was $30 and my parents saying that was way too much money...I still use that as a gauge for inflation...like if it takes me $60 to fill up my tank, I think...man, I could have bought two Death Star playsets for this back in '78!

Decent little story that you'll dig, J. One of my best friends tells this story about when he was a kid and had his tonsils removed. His mom tells him that she's going to go to the store to buy him a figure, so he's laying in bed excited for this thing, hoping for an Ewok or Luke or a Scout Trooper... She comes home and hands him General Madine. Anyway, I've been meaning to pick one up on ebay to give to him for his birthday.

I replied to you over at RS... Not a thing in terms of the Vintage 3 packs. I did grab a Gi Joe Movie 3-pack on clearance though. 13.98 for Snake Eyes and 2 Ninja. Not bad.

Waiting for CSC to get theirs in stock....I dont know why, but getting SS Fett reminds me of getting the 90's POTF 3 3/4" Boba Fett from Fleet Farm when I was little. Man I remember ripping him open in the car on the way home. Feeling some nostalgia here!

I got this bad boy when I got my tonsils out:

I actually got it, I think Santa brought it, because $30 was a lot of money back then. Still have it to this day

There was nothing like those old send aways. The 4 - 6 weeks seemed like forever waitng for my 4-LOM figure to arrive. I also remember sending away for some sort of misc. equipment assortment with a bunch of stuff. I'm not sure if I'm remembering right but I think it came with the pack that Luke carried Yoda in, a couple of breathing devices that Han, Leia and Chewie wore and some extra guns. Man those were the days.
