remote sandcrawler & troop transport or just get your silly ass on outta here..............

I want a sandcrawler badly, but they're even harder to find in complete working condition. Plus they cost some coin.

 

[FLOSI]

At-At would lead to a Snow Speeder which would lead to a At-St....I'm sure it would be really easy to just keep going and going like that. Oh what a slippery slope.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I considered that... slippery Hoth slope Not to mention all the Hoth playsets.

But I guess you could go for more of a ROTJ and go with Endor items

Great Thread: (What a Flashback for me)

the sandcrawler i have is in excellent shape all over except for the little pc board in it. at some point their had been batteries left in it so there is some corrosion chalky crap on it. but it's complete with elevator, all doors, steps, r/c, & box..........the box is pretty beat up but still intact as well. damn i really need to dig up my old sw vintage stuff and shoot some pics.

 

[DPrime]

Yeah, I'm thinking along the same lines. Vader's Tie (though I could go for the white regular Tie as well), the Falcon and non BD X-Wing. The essentials.

I'm the same way. I could see myself maybe getting an X-Wing, and a TIE - either Vader's or the regular.

I think I can pass on the Falcon... for now anyway.

What is really tempting to me are things that lend themselves to display with the figures, like the skiff, Speeder Bike, Ewok accessories and the playsets like Ewok Village and the Death Star... But we'll see. Only playset I got so far was Jabba, but I consider him more of a figure than a playset.

I think the Falcon is a must have... its not my favorite of the series, but I can't imagine having vehicles w/o it.

 

[klocket]

Yeah, ships and vehicles are cool, and i would love to have them all but i only want them if they come with their boxes, that way they can be displayed in the box and put on shelves, i just think they take up too much room when they are loose and can be harder to display.

Like i have Castle Grayskull, but i leave it in the box because it just looks too weird and awkward to just have displayed out in the open.

I have the Ghostbusters Firehouse but no box... so it's just awkward when displayed, so it just sits in the closest.

Yeah, that's kind of my thoughts on the Falcon. I used to have the LEGO version and it was just awkward to display.

My Joes take up most of the room anyway, gotta keep the other stuff limited...

 

[galactiboy]

That is true especially for the Falcon... a big circle is hard to display.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

The Falcon is a must have.

I've been on a bucky o'hare kick. Anyone else collect these?

I don't "collect" them but i do have most of them... just sitting in my "tub of randomness."

Awesome! I had a TOR (TubOfRandomness) but Visionaries, Bionic6, and Blackstar got the boot. Also Silverhawks went bye-bye. Now all I have left vintageare: Kenner SW collection, Indiana Jones collection (both Kenner and LjN), Kenner Super Powers, and Mattel's Secret Wars. And some G1 Transformers here and there along with my reissues which I don't count as vintage.

I have some Visionaries, Secret Wars in my tub right now, i loved Transformers as a kid but they were like the only toys i sold off when i was still a kid, go figure!

I only have a G1 Prime, which i don't even really want... i have the Masterpiece Prime and Starscream, and even though they're not vintage it serves the purpose of my TF love.

Same here, I have the main crew but willy. It's in my random drawer at my parents house in nj. Thinken about picken them up.

That's a really great game...never saw the show personally.

Yes, have it all.

I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY DIDN'T MAKE ALL THE CHARACTERS FROM THE CARTOON.

 

[FLOSI]
