As far as I know, My Target, and any of the other Targets within a 50 mile radius never got the multi-packs in. If they did, they apparently didn't get many, and they sold quick.

Hell, Target even had an add for the multi-packs on Black Friday, and I never saw them when I was there... So I either have to speculate that they didn't even get them in, or some scalper scum beat me to them... Sometimes I hate being a collector!

The got here in Wilmington, we are what, 80 miles apart? They got in one shipment but they sat around for a while until the week of Christmas.

Ahhh bugger that's crap. I never even saw any Snowspeeders here in Tasmania! and I was looking since I ordered my AT-AT from BBTS on launch. All the stores have the odd Clone Wars starfighter and tank and that's it. I really want it so it looks like I am going to cop an $80 odd purchase to get it to Australia.



EDIT: Whoop! just found a seller on Ebay selling the snowspeeder for $25.00 + $25.00 postage to Australia SOLD! One left if anyone interested.

See that's amazing what a few miles and social differences can do in a collectors market. Wilmington's a college town that's always struck me as having a upscale crowd. Meanwhile Fayetteville is a military town that has a slew of 18-35 year old collectors. I mean nothing collectable sits on a shelf in this town for more than a week. That's why we have like five Walmarts (I'm not exaggerating either), Target, Toys R Us, and a dozen or so comic and hobby shops. If our Target even got in those multi-packs they were history before they even hit the shelf...

Love it, I went to local Kmart to try and find a Saga Legends Luke Skywalker for my Snowspeeder. I went through all the hanging ones and nothing.....then I looked down and saw one that had fell off, turned it over and BAM it was Luke. Nice and easy.

Went into my local Target today, and they had 2 Vintage Packaging Snowspeeders on the shelf. I'm not sure how these things come packed, and I don't know if they were left overs from the holiday, but my Target had them. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up, just in case they aren't holiday exclusives and they ship to other Targets as well...

Any chance of picking one up for me?

Found these vintage Kenner figures at a place called vintage stock. Cardboard is beat up but I figure the figures are worth the $25 they want.

 

[icruise]

I can't believe they put their own price tags directly on vintage figures...

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, that kind of sucked but I was just blown away that they had them. I thought about grabbing one for $25.

 

[Darth Waller]

Those stickers...

Let me swing by Target tomorrow and see if they have any left...

 

[The Josh]

Those stickers...

I know. They might come off easy though.

A little comparison from the 2007 Lukes. Wow what a difference. I can't even believe how much I was in love with them. The 2010s are amazing compared to them!

The 2007s look like the ******** cousin or something. HAHAHA!

Well, that Jedi Luke is actually 2009, so that is what only a year's difference makes.

Seriously though, 25.00 for those figures is not worth it. The cards are in terrible shape and then the stickers applied directly to them. So, they really would be better looking as loose, and you can get those figures loose mint for under 25. And you can get repro cards and bubbles to make them look nice and carded and probably still spend less. I did that with a few recently, and they turned out great.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, the cards are pretty beat up. It was just cool to see them more than anything.

I've been thinking about recarding my better figures. How did you print them?

 

[niennumb1]

I did that as well to a Yak Face a recently got! The figure/weapon/coin are real, just packed it in a recard. Used a roller glue tape instead of cutting double stick and turned out very clean!

Can't afford thousands to get a real MOC figure in that good of condition so this is not a bad alternative for my personal collection.

Got my recard off ebay's Beggar's Canyon Toys.

That's where mine came from too. Great stuff. I like how the taping looks on yours, can you point me in the right direction for it?
