(FLOSI'S Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."

re: (galactiboy's Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."


Well, at least you have a path down the middle. Mine was difficult to get into. And then I had a storage break-in, and they stole many of my SW collectibles. I don't know for sure what all they got, other than my Disney Star Tours figures and vehicle, and my Master Replicas sabers (both large, and mini) plus a few boxes of DVD's. I had no insurance. They also damaged a lot of my foreign collectibles, which could not easily be replaced. I was NOT happy about that. I lost about $3000 worth of stuff... I hope that never happens to you!
Oh, and I love your life-sized Darth Maul!

Ha! Thanks Kenbenobi.

Here is a small Sample of what I'm dealing with, lol








I attended the original Celebration back in '99 and then II in '02, but honestly didn't have the enjoyment we thought we would have.

We really wanted to go to the one in Orlando, as that's a city my wife & i frequent, but just couldn't get the timing to work out....

I would be happy with all of the Hoth playsets and a Death Star in my collection !

Death Star is the next most important vintage I must acquire!!!

Thanks Ken,

That sucks I can't imagine a break in. Another collecting buddy had a similar thing happen to them. I'm in an enclosed facility, which helps add to the security. It sucks not having 24hr access tho.

What are some of the foreign things you had damaged? I don't have much foreign stuff, but agree its a PITA to acquire in the first place, I couldn't imagine if it got wrecked.

I did some customizing of the LS Maul. I like him much better with the cloak.

Welcome aboard Paul. Grab a beer.

I have my Death Star from when I was a kid.

I'll never get rid of it.

I also have a beautiful still sealed DS that I'm always on the fence about getting Graded. I think the cost would be over $100 to grade, due to its size.

What are some of your opinions about having items graded???

I'd love to open some of those boxes, Paul!

Some of them are meant for opening, or have been opened.

I watch Toy Hunter and wonder what Jordan would think about diving through my units. There are some gems in there to be sure.

Look for me and Ken in an upcoming episode covering WonderCon. Well, at least I think that's what you're talking about. Where do I find this show. I'm gonna do a search tonight...

I was all trying to get into the shot.

Stop hitting on the new members

Going to be an interesting next few weeks. Glad united wrapped everything up today. Might be a bit easier against them Saturday. I see us in third and you guys fourth with Chelskie in fifth.

He would miss handle them, tell you an obvious fact about the toys and then offer you an unrealistic price for them and then claim to sell them for an even more unrealistic price.

I bet! I'd love to see some of the vintage goodness hidden in there.

We play only two of the 5 games at home, but four of the five are against bottom half of the table teams, with the exception being the fixture v Chelsea. Hell of a win for Spurs over City.

I watch the Toy Hunter, but I hate him.

Ha, ha. We'll have to see if they were able to crop you out.

It's on on Wednesday nights on the Travel Channel.

I know what you're saying.

I work in television, so I understand the fine line they need to tow I. Order to present a balanced and entertaining program.

We collectors tend to know a lot about not just the lines we are passionate about, but toys in general and a lot if what he talks about is pretty much lip service or inane droning to us, lol. But it helps carry the story for the casual viewer.

I don't think he's that bad or even that his prices are so far off. I like the show for archival and reference purposes and would more than likely buy a boxed set of the series when it's over.

What I don't get is that people can't be so computer illiterate that if he flat out tells someone he can get $1200 for something and then offers them $700 and the "haggling" ensues, why that person doesn't just try to sell it themselves, lol.

City suck. With that payroll to so under achive is laughable.

I know there's a small head TESB 31-Back Han Solo in there somewhere, lol. And a Mint Sealed 12" Vintage Leia Doll too!

Agree 100%. I still laugh when I think of Craig Bellamy playing in the Championship the other year...
