Share your latest vintage scores,
I was able to score a few items recently, nothing earth shattering but cheap. Pics will be comming
I nabbed a Trach Compactor puzzle set, a MTFBWY pin on button and some catalogs for a few bucks total
Show off your latest treasures
-
Not an action figure but a blast from the past none the less, for those that know me, you already know I love the non-figure related vintage items. Be it Sigma soap dishes to colored pencils and folders. I love the odd stuff that many folks seem to forget about. This one is one of those, a stick pin back pin, Nice and resasonably priced items add just a little extra to a display cabinet.
Nothing great but a mostly forgotten part of the SW craze
-
that's cool, buddy.
-
That is pretty cool.
-
Here's one to get the ole Tamer salavating. This is the Hoth Generator set I mentioned in an other thread. Contents are unused and there is only slight shelf wear on a corner that looks worse in the pic than in person, otherwise it's pretty nice.
-
I remember the line but don't remember this set. Interesting that the figures are die-cast metal.
Nice find there, Wayne!!
-
Man, wouldn't I love to get my hands on that!
-
So you think this was worth 35 smackers?

I couldn't believe it. Now this ain't AFA by any stretch, but the only flaws are a very small crease where it is punched and the price sticker. I have always wanted a carded vintage ATAT driver. My first preference is TESB card ofcourse, but that might be my AFA item someday.
-
Yep, it's worth 35 bucks, Nice pick up. I know you have been after one for a while. I have been seeing some nice ESB carded items but they were a little high so I didn't bother you.
I prefer offerless cards for the visual appeal so you have a clean card, doesn't matter if it's afa or not (they are over rated anyway) and it's yours.
Congrats
-
Sweet fig there, Tamer! I know that you had been wanting one of those. I guarantee that one is worth $35. I'll bet that you got a place all picked out to display him.
-
I am pretty happy with it. I have it in my display cases with my GG and other vintage carded figs.
-
Found a great vintage commercial featuring Wayne's Hoth Generator Micro set on youtube.

-
I had waiting for me today another Tie Interceptor and a mint blue saber for the Jedi Luke. The interceptor has perfect stickers but a broken wing mount but, it was intended to be used for parts so I am happy.
-
Wayne you do find the vintage goodies. Congrats. Its hard to find a vintage ship with vintage stickers!
-
I was able to fix the wing mount on the interceptor so I now will use it as a display next to my other one.
I do like to keep snooping for the oldies, with the rising prices of the new figures and ships, it isn't hard to pass on the new stuff and score some vintage for around the same money. You have a PM to some effect regarding that as well ;)
-
I am taking a peek as I am writing this. I sure appreciate the help Sarge!
-
This one arrived today, nice to get something good as I am down with the flu,
This is a still factory sealed Presto-Majix Wicket The Ewok set. As some fo you know I love the non-action figure stuff and was happy to be able to snag this one. It is in perfect condition with no tears or snags in the factory shrink wrap.
-
Nice find, Sarge. I don't even remember this one. sorry to hear about your flu.
-
Looks great! Man, hate to hear you are down and out with the flu.
-
More Presto Majix goodies arrived today,
Like everything, things go in streaks, I haven;t seen these in years and through 2 seperate channels I found more of them, again still sealed. So they were just ment to be mine :)
First are 2 Wicket The Ewok series, Ewoks at play and the second pack is Ewok Hutt scene
-
Boy these look minty fresh.
-
Very nice find, Wayne. I used to love presto majix.
-
More oldies arrived today, again non figure related and some oddities, but I really enjoy these more than most figures. All unused and unopened if applicable
Today brought:
SW Wash cloth
SW Towel
Jedi Journal
ESB pop ot and Make it book
Gamorean Guard Soap
2 packs of Jedi cards, Vader and Ewok wrapper versions
-
I like that punch out book. I should have gotten that one when you sent me the link! Sweet stuff.
-
I've been trying to straighten up my hoard down in my basement for the last couple of days and came across a few vintage items that looked like they needed to be shown, here.
First is a good condition 1983 ROTJ Kenner toy catalog
then, we have a 1983 Rotj match block puzzle game of some kind. That ones still in the factory plastic.
and the last two are Star Wars 33 1/3 records with storybooks. "remember these?"
The Droid World adventure one is dated 83 and the Star Wars one has no date but must be late 70s?
If you guys are interested in these, LMK as I wouldn't mind letting them go.
-
I really enjoy looking at the old stuff. The 70's and 80's were the best for Star Wars.
-
Nice additions and I agree, the variety of the 70s and 80s line up of offerings are still a treat to hunt down.
-
Picked up this fig a week or so ago, Card is not what I usually look for with the price sticker removal damage but the price was to good to pass up so I added it, plus I am a sucker for any ESB Revenge of the Jedi cards,
-
nice pick up Sarge. The price sticker issue isn't too noticeable. I would have jumped too if the price was good.
-
Thanks, the price was abot the same as picking up 3 new figures at retail at Walmart ;)
I do like the fact that they released some of the Revenge logo'd items, I am always looking for more of those, be it hats, patches, ads.
-
Great find with that Bespin Security Guard! The bubble looks nice and clear too. The way Kenner designed those cards was so perfect.
-
I have to say that this is the very first Vintage post I've taken a peek at. It's funny how old some of this stuff makes me feel, and yet somehow it's very comforting.
Love seeing this old stuff... I'll keep an eye on this one from now on.
-
MY latest score, a bunch of junk ;) What caught my eye was the potential in this lot, I have been wanting to build a white witch for a while and this nabs me some of the needed vehicles, plus the 2 ATSTs that will be customized. Best thing is it was cheap from a fellow vintage collector
-
That is a big haul of parts ships, Wayne.
-
Sarge, just how do you do it? I am gonna show my ignorance again and ask what a "white witch" is?
-
It was an unproduced speeder from the Driods series
Here are pics and a littl estory on the archive
http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=48831
-
What a cool speeder! Man, lot of curves on that one, gonna be an interesting build. Thanks for the info. Great additions for the vintage collection.
-
That is pretty cool looking. You can do it, Wayne!
-
Latest score is an oddity again, A box of unopened vitamins, I like the wierd SW stuff and this one fits right in that catagory.
They expired 16 years ago so they are staying unopened ;)
-
MAN, that IS a sweet find! Looks to be in fantastic shape, as well! I wonder what would happen if you took those vitamins...
-
LOL! Yeah, I think taking those vitamins is out of the question. Boy, this is momc as it gets.
-
i have a few of my vintage loose figs if any one is wanting any. send me a list of what you are after......
-
Here is my latest vintage score
It is a 1983 Burger King ROTJ tray sheet advertising the Glass set, I am excited abot this one as it is perfect, other than being folded, good color no stains or tears. Now all I have to do is frame it and up it goes.
-
Scored another oddity today,
I found a sealed bottle of shampo from 1983, this one as you can see is Jabba the Hutt
-
I'm guessing that your hair would be all KINDS of slimy using that stuff! Awesome find Wayne!
-
Another goodie arrived today, Since I found the ROTJ glass ad slick for the Burger King tray, I needed the ESB, so I found one, got it and framed it already.
-
Wow, NICE! See, these are things I'd NEVER had thought of!
-
I love the odd items that give any type of collection depth, I like things that will catch youir eye and say " O YHA I remember those" the things that spark the nostalgia are cool.
On that note a few more goodies arrived today
6 ESB Wilton Cake Candles, these are not the best shapr but were only $1.00 each and 3 1977 SW Coke Glasses
-
Another little package showed up today, nothing special but a few more items off my list,
2 more SW puzzles, I like these, I like puzzles in general and add Star Wars to it, then it's a no-brainer for me, especially since these were a mear $3.50 each.
-
My dad ( Divorced parent's) gave me his ESB Rebel hoth soldier the other day , it has no guns left but is in nice condition :)
-
Picked up a few goodies from an antique mall the other day
First is a minty sealed SW B-day SW table cloth from 1977, scored for $5.50 the next one is an ESB Burger King Glass with no color loss, that was $10 but it was neat to find some SW goodies amongst the other junk.
-
I love that BK glass. I remember those.
-
Thanks Shawn, I am actually huntig down all of teh displays that are associated with the Glass promo, you know how much I like the odd SW items, I have a pic of all of the associated displays, now the hunt begins, I have the tray slicks and so forth, I really want the hanging display. The glass tray ad is in this thread, top of this page.
-
Cool, I have the displays from Taco Bell Episode 1 cups and toys. I have a ton of promo material from that film. I even have a Frito Lay cardboard potatoe chip display rack. I talked a stock guy into giving it to me as he had just crushed the rest in the dumpster. He said they had strict orders to crush them all from Frito Lay. I also have several of the huge KFC window stickers that are like 3' x 3'. Soryy none of this is vintage related but never known anyone who had glass/cup interest
-
I love that ESB BK glass. I found one of those a couple years back myself. Some may call me reckless; but I drink out of the thing. It's too awesome not to get used. I also use the ROTJ one with Luke and Vader dueling before the Emperor.
-

Well I can finally say that I have scored a Vintage find that everyone will be floored by.
While surfing Craig’s List I came across a deal that seemed too good to be true. An Imperial Shuttle and the seller only wanted $25.00 bucks for it. I emailed and asked if all the parts were present and in one piece. The reply was that he thought everything was there but wasn’t sure.
Well I figured that if it had parts missing in one piece I could get everything I needed off ebay and I would love to modify it in any case. Well when I met up with the seller he pulled out this beautiful Imperial Shuttle with all the parts present! I popped the battery cover and almost giggled when I saw the electronics were there… this was a near perfect VINTAGE shuttle. There and the only 2 things wrong was some scratches on the cargo door where it looked like it was put down next to a heater or something and the wings don’t come down automatically when the trigger is pulled on the handle but they can be lowered by hand.
Now I’m at a crossroads because it is in such great shape with no yellowing and all the original parts that I don’t want to do anything to it! Plus it looks so nice sitting on my shelf too.
-
Very nice, looks to be in fantastic shape. I would leave it as is and just display it.
-
great find. Iam dying to get one of those.
-
That commercial was a blast from the past. It took me back to a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Nice find.
