I managed to pick up 2 Kul Teska figures and a few mini rigs ...a week ago off ebay, but they arrived today.
If I ever get time, there are lots of ideas  for customization.
Still trying to reaquire lots of my favorite toys from my childhood.

I've been trying too do this for years now. It seems to be a fleeting gesture.

Went to Toy Vault at the nearby mall again, picked up an Action Fleet TIE Fighter and Interceptor. I want to do some touchups on my Royal Guard Interceptor, this one is just backup in case I mess up. The TIE Fighter will be used for the TIE Experimental M2. I figured I'd grab it while I was there instead of resorting to ebay later.

That is the most mint box I have seen yet. I checked out two on the shelves at my local TRU and they were beat. Looked like they threw them off the truck at 35 miles an hour.

But on a better note I found two Mandalorian Speeder bikes at Wal Mart and two more Pre Vizsla's I gave my first Pre Viz to my sone who is Mando Crazy right now!!!!

Nice box thats a keeper forever.

Thanks Clint. I thought it was the prettiest thing I have seen since my wife and my daughter!

Thats a good find too. Yepper, I haven't seen a regular ship box this mint, let alone one this large in some time. I was lucky enough to have a toysrus person on the lookout for these and he got it off the truck himself and whisked it away to a safe place till I got down there. My momc craziness is starting to be well documented.  I bet your son is glad you are finding more items. I haven't seen those Mando bikes yet and Vizsla only once!

woow man, that looks really sweet!

Thanks! I am still psyched I have it let alone this minty. I must have looked at this same box back in 1983 or 84 and several years thereafter and my mom wouldn't even let me get the guy to take it down off the top shelf. I circled that as the only thing I wanted for xmas for years. I never got it. Yesterday I felt like a kid at Christmas getting the walker  he dreamed about for years. Mom, if you are reading this I wouldn't mind another one under the tree this year! LOL!

 I was glad to help you pal ;D. I am glad it's in real good condition too. I wanna thank you for the Camie and Fixer two- pack as well ;D ;D. Let me know if there's anything else you want me to look out for at Toys R Us. God bless to you and your family.

I just picked this up today with the Vintage Style Packaging, Box is near mint! Not that I collect the packaging...but it's nice to have. This walker is the biggest badest  beast to ever walk the earth...I told myself that I would not start collecting the vehicles or ships because of the price tag attached to them...but I could not resist this monster, plus it is one of my favorite vehicles from the movies. now i will have to go buy Lukes snowspeeder.....It never ends.....

The other day I sold some POTF figures on ebay. I used the cash I got from that to finally buy the Action Fleet Saga 2002 AT-AT. I only collect from the original trilogy, so now I'm only missing the Alpha Cloud Car (although I'm in no rush to get it). As for playsets I just need The Death Star and Hoth, then I'll move onto the 18 battlepacks.
