Ha I thought so...

The brown was the 1st release of the Luke Jedi. One of the "rarer" figures from that line since it was quickly corrected.

Its just cool for that reason. You can find him sometimes in these types of lots... Just a cool bonus... Since not everyone has/got one.

Wow, glad to see people have been finding some killer deals on star wars stuff both new and old! I recently picked up my first TVC figure ever, the Hoth Rebel Soldier. I wasn't into collecting during the glory days of the first TVC run, so I'm really glad I found this rare(ish) figure at a local Target.



I also found the Stormtrooper (Mimban) at a Walmart near home. The figure has a hard time balancing due to the cape, but the sculpt is just magnificent and I love the new long rifle he has. Definitely looking to pick up another! I have them displayed here next to older figures for comparison. I would highly recommend both figures!

Man, I have yet to see my first vintage figure on the pegs. So jonesing for that new wampa and luke force link 2.0 too. That dirty trooper looks awesome.

Sounds like IO got a great deal on cases of figures too.

Saturday Mail Call!

I received my Hasbro HasLabs "Star Wars" The Vintage Collection Jabba's Sail Barge booklet!

It is going to be a long wait until February...

@talonreap: Awesome scores my friend! The VC Hoth Rebel Soldier and the Probe Droid are my favourite protucts from Hasbro of the last 2 years!

@Tamer: Nice score Shawn! You can't do anythning wrong with 7 bucks! That reminds me of the good old days of the Legacy Collection. TVC figures cost between 20,99€/~$25.18 and 23,99€/~28.78 by now here in Germany...that's the new MRSP for them. When the Vintage Collection was set on hiatus in 2012 they were at 12,99€-14.99€ ($15.98-17.98) here.

Have a nice weekend everyone and happy hunting!

Today at school someone I had never talked to gave me the AMC promo solo dice. I didn't think it was significant enough to post until I saw that they are going for anywhere from $25 to $50 on ebay!

Picked up the force link 2.0 Mimban Stormtrooper. Looks like it has more arty than the regular 5 poa figures too from what I can tell.

Got my force link 2.0 Hoth Leia. She really does have a great sculpt. If we just had this sculpt on the vintage body they made back in the day we would be set.

@ImperialOfficer: Wow, that's a great story! What a nice gesture of your classmate/school-friend! I just looked up these promo dice on google images - they look pretty sweet! Thanks for sharing this story!


@Tamer: Congrats to both of these figures! Their sculpts are very decent, indeed! Is the ForceLink 2.0 working well, too? Or does it need another update?  ;D
