Well, the upside of no new CW toys is more $$$ to blow on vintage stuff. I'm into a good variant binge right now, just got IG-88 (Metallic paint) in the mail today, along with a replacement Death Squad Commander I have needed forever. I'm still waiting on Grey-hair Ben and Long 'Stache Bespin Guard to show up any day as well. All those were very affordable.

Just about ready to start focusing on those last 10 POTF figures I need...

McMetal, what POTF figures are you looking for? I have a lot of carded POTF figures I was thinking about selling.

Sorry, I thought you meant the 80's POTF.

Yep, my 10 are all circa 1985.

I think he might have been referring to the POTF2 line...rats.

oh OK, were these the ones in a little box with the coin in a stand beside them? If so I didn't collect those...do you have any pics of these?

Thanks Recon, how much ya want for that bad boy?  ;)  (JK, not a carded guy)

I picked up the short mouth Biker Scout last night on eBay. That one doesn't seem too easy to find...

The short mouth Biker is desirable and is far less common than the regular version.

Quite some time ago, I happened to score a loose shot mouth Scout for $10 or so. And in great condition I might add. But I guess a carded one would be much harder to find. One of the coolest vintage figures, though, that Biker Scout.

Yeah, I have a suspicion that the short mouth biker scout may be a foreign variant. The few I have come across previously seem to come from the Lili Ledy runs.

I felt like this was a good pick-up for less than $20. He's missing the original gun but I can always pick that up separately.

Also just nabbed a replacement fort for my Imperial Attack Base playset.  I seemed to have lost that one piece somewhere along the way.

If my memory serves me I thought they were mainly from the 65 back cards, then were changed to the more common long version.

Wow, good eye...someone could pick up a steal there.

After getting beat out (again) on Romba and Warok, I settled for a nice Blue Apron Ugnaught earlier tonight. One more down, so many yet to go...
