Hey _______s they're called Power Droids.

This man speaks the truth!

I'm going to film myself tearing it open and post it on Rebelscum's board.

No, not crazy for a SEALED Ewok Village. Nope, I can see it. I admitted to a $250 Yak Face. It's all a matter of perspective.

Bah, $150? I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Think about it - a playset like that would cost $150 brand new these days. My only problem would be where to put it...

$250 for Yak Face - yeah, I'd do it.

Stuff like this is worth it. It's old, and will retain its value. And as good as toys are these days, they'll never be THE toys you had as a kid. That's worth a lot, imo.

I agree.

I still have my original Ewok Viillage from when I was a kid (I was 5 when ROTJ came out). Sadly I'm missing a few pieces, but not much and I plan to get them loose on either eBay or the Rebelscum board. Funny thing is I could probably get a complete one cheaper... or for close to the same price. But its not the same if it's not mine

And sorry about the "power droid" comment... Got caught up on the sound

 

[Deak Starkiller]

No big whoop. I would like to get an Ewok Village and add the Robin HoodOT Sherwood forrest playset tree tops to it.

 

[galactiboy]

That would be an interesting mixture... Ewok village was my big birthday gift when I was 5 or 6 (I think 6) I was over the moon when I got to tear into it.

A lot of fun play value in that set with all the chutes, fire pit, swinging boulder etc.

True story, as a kid I wanted to be an Ewok; even had the crappy flame retardant costume with the plastic mask. One day I explained my wishes to my mom and decided that to become an ewok I would start skipping meals and stop cutting my hair

Sadly it didn't work out; but I think at one point I could have qualified as a short wookie

Well said.

That's ____ing funny.

I saw this listing on eBay. Was it one of these?

 

[Deak Starkiller]

All I can think of is that guy in the Shining when I see that costume.

I don't see the connection.

That is the exact f'n costume

I wore that thing all over the place, nothing like dressing up as an ewok and running around in the forest

A couple years ago I found a picture of me wearing a kickass wicket T-Shirt (one of those vintage iron-on looking shirts) and another with a plush wicket and ewok baby sticking out of my backpack I was crazy for those damn things.

And the topper; yesterday my wife got a bunch of vintage style T-shirts for my 6 month old daughter from Old Navy; and one of them had Wicket on it

Sweet! I may have to check out Old Navy.

Man... I would have been an easy target for a child molesting Ewok

I love those damn things! Here's my current favorite, modeled by Gabriel Flosi:

 

[galactiboy]

Looking good man How old is he?

My wife got the Wicket one, another with C-3PO and R2, A glittery pink Superman S and an E.T.

Got to admit I'm a bit jealous, my daughter's got better T's than me
