A few vintage pick-ups today: 4 Mego Star Trek figures and the die cast Imperial Cruiser:

I may get some of those vintage diecast ships when I'm done with the figures.

Wow, the sculpts on these are quite nice, especially when you consider how old they are. Much, much better than the Kenner SW likenesses.

Nice haul, there.

I've always liked the die cast series... and not too much there to get crazy with when it comes to a collection. I also have the Falcon, but it has a small chip of plastic missing out of it.

They are surprisingly well done... I'm always impressed when you can actually recognize a face on a 3 3/4" figure.

No kidding. Hasbro is rarely able to do it even today. This sculptor must have been very talented...

The dwarves are not Dakins, but made around the same time.

Thanks for posting this! I thought the Dumbo looked familiar... looks like this is it!

Only difference is he has a white, green and pink scarf, and I don't see Dakin stamped anywhere... ko?

Already time to update my signature.

The Tie Bomber will cost a lot of pretty pennies.

I have 3 Die Cast ships, Imperial Cruiser, Falcon and Tie Bomber (MIB)

I think after I get all the figures and the rest of my R2-D2 MOCs I may go for some of smaller vehicles and die cast ships. But I need to decide MIB/MOC or loose. I kinda want MIB/MOC since I have the hardest one to find already.

Spill it!

Royal Guard, 2-1B and Zuckuss (4 LOM) arrived today! A SS Bespin Han too, but I'm just using that for a bash.

 

[galactiboy]

What are you bashing him into?

BTW, some sad news for me today... Krang fell over and took out a number of figures with him. All survived except my Power Lords Arkus figure suffered a broken foot

Yikes... is that going to be pricey to replace?

Poncho Leia, Lumat and Paploo.

Stupid Krang. Always was a troublemaker.

Shouldn't be too bad... maybe $10 if I can find a loose one in good shape w/o any weapons. More of the principle of the thing.

Nice pick-ups :duf

And very true about Krang... you just can't trust a bodiless brain

 

[Darth Waller]

And now I'm really down to the pricey ones. These were the last that could be bought for $20 or less.

I think I had R2 with the pop-up saber as a kid (might still). Is it valuable?

Not really. I'll give you a dollar.

EDIT: OK, I'm kidding. They can be in great condition.

Good to hear it.

I hate it when a vintage piece breaks... I've had a few problems with GI Joe shoulder straps on their weapons. I HATE when they break - and I'm so damn careful with them, too!

Yeah even bad condition ones with original saber go for quite a bit.
