sweet. when i listened to that i had flashbacks of HH trotting down the runway to the ring. then he gets in the ring and starts walking around and putting his hand to his ear to hear the fans. then eventually rips his shirt off. ahhh...memories.

I took my own advice and won a few figure lots last week. If you take out the cost of the cases (typically about $20 or more in this condition), it came out to a little over $6 per figure shipped. They were listed in the auction as new condition. The couple I checked out so far look pretty damn good.

No final 17 figures, but a great selection from ANH, ESB and ROTJ with only a couple duplicates.

Thank you, sir! I can't wait to go through these guys this week. My daughter's going to be in Heaven.

I don't guess that includes any of the "vitamins" that Hogan used to grow so massive

i don't believe any growth inducing supplements are included in this box set. the kid on the box is too scrawny.

so i wonder what was on that cassette. 80's training montage music?

it would be cool to find out what's on the tape but then i'd have to open the box. i wonder if it's hogan on the tape or just some random person.

Correct on both! I'll figure out tonight where this will put me in terms of the 100% scale. Still a ways to go, especially considering it's most of the final 17.

Deak, what kind of camera are you using... you sure take purty pictures of you toys

Luckily most of the 17 aren't that bad... just when you get into Yak Face and Luke in Stormtrooper gear that ____ gets ridiculous.

I didn't know that. Still doesn't help the price.

 

[galactiboy]

Fine... f'n Canadian and European-only Yak Face!!!

I will say this though... at least Yak Face is a really cool figure; is he worth $100+; Hells no!!! But still at least its a cool figure.

I think my favorite of the POTF is Amanaman... just a odd and badass figure; kind of suprised a figure like him was made to be honest.

 

[Valfar]

Don't forget F'n Aussies too!!! they got the F'n Yak!!..errrrrrrr!!!.

 

[Darth Waller]

Yak Face is anti-American.

Thanks GB, I use a digital SLR Canon Rebel xT and in my ceiling fan I use 60watt soft white bulbs. Which I think is key to lighting.

Racist.

I wrote that down.

Trust me boys, he used to go for a lot more. I picked up mine at Celebration III for a cool $250. But he is worth it to me. Pretty nice shape too.

Damn son... that is some serious scratch And people complain about the HT Indy figure

Yeah I know, and I know they can be had for less now but again at the time for a nice one it was worth it. I didn't trust eBaY and I had nowhere to buy him like that locally so I had to pull the trigger.
