Gentlemen, it's not about the quantity of posts, it's about the QUALITY of the posts. This thread rules no matter what page it's on.

What an odd collection... strange seeing some of the figures and bootlegs from overseas.

 

[Darth Waller]

Those bootlegs can go for some serious bucks, especially the carded ones. I can't imagine what that 10-pack would go for. I think he said there are 3 or 4 in existence.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

That's one big pile of ____.

I just scored a mini grail that I've been hunting for a few years, ROTLA German Mechanic MOC. One of my fondest memories as a kid was walking into KB Toys and seeing a huge clearance bin full of German Mechanics and German Indys. My mom got me one of each and they were the only Indy figures I ever had. I was lucky enough to score a German Indy MOC cheap a few years ago so now my nostalgic goal is complete.

Well I spoke I too soon on this one. The ebay seller jerked me around claiming that his wife "destroyed" it while packing. He sent me the $ back. Looking at his auctions I saw he was selling another of the same figures at a lesser grade. I asked what was up and he agreed to send me that one instead so I repayed him. Almost a month goes by and no figure. I open a claim and he states that he was away on vacation and will send the figure immediately with something extra for my troubles. This was last week. Now i just get a refund notice from the seller. Ugh, W T F!?!?!?! I hate buying on eBay.

Just picked up a EV-9D9 and Anakin Skywalker set off eBay. Since I already have Anakin, does anyone here need one?

Three more to go!

Congrats!!

He's got a curved leg, so I'll have to do the hot/cold treatment on him. I wish I could've found one with straight legs, but the seller says his arm joints are tight, so that was more important to me.

 

[galactiboy]

My legs were all kinds of curved, but I just dipped them in hot water; straightened them out and held them in place as I dipped them in ice water... worked like a charm.

I ended up having to do a second round about 3 months later as the leg started curving back, but after that its held straight.

While no where near as sexy as Richard scoring EV9D9, I did just pick up a Wicket today. I'm down to the Rebo Band and ten POTF figures... Kinda cool to get through all of the carded SW, ESB, and ROTJ figures before the end of the year.

 

[Darth Waller]

It's nice when you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

 

[FLOSI]

I figure there's about $750.00 worth of figures I have left to buy.
