That looks nice. I am still looking for that vintage early bird Vader. Of course I struck out on the Vintage Pilot Luke too. That one is going for crazy nuts prices on feebay.

Well today I opened up the boxes that had my Bandai AT-AT and I got my Toys R Us eBay Vader, both in minty fresh shape.

On another note, my walmart finally got the vintage six inch wave in so they had a minty fresh Vader too. I saw the Ben, Luke, and Leia, but the cards were a bit warped. Gonna wait on good ones I think.

Still, it is nice to add to this.

       When I was a kid my favorite Star Wars guy was my vintage Jabba the Hutt.  Actually, it was my very first custom. I found it at the thrift store, the only problem, it was missing the arms. My mom helped me fashion new ones from green sculpy, it even had a little toad in his hand. It turned out really cool. Anyway, I realized recently, I needed a new 3.75 Jabba figure. I found a walmart exclusive Jabba's throne with Oola set, the only problem, it was missing Salacious crumb. I already have a replacement TAC Salacious crumb, so it was a good deal, and a great figure set. The Oola alone is going for crazy amounts on the secondary market right now.
    With the money I "saved" I  got another way over priced figure set, that i found at a good enough price. Jabba's palace court denizens. I basically got it for the Frog-dog, but B'ommar monk is really awesome and kinda creepy. It also comes with that snail thing, which is cool for if/whenever I make a Jabba's throne room display. It was a good week. I wish i would have gotten these when they released, but ohh well.

Nice pick up. I should be on my wave to completing my wave one of the vintage six inch by next weeks. A local collector found me a Han!

I finally got my first Bandai model kit. The TIE Striker in 1/72 scale.
It is very hard to get the Bandai model kits here in Europe.
I got the TIE Striker for about 31€ from a retailer from California. A long way to Austria.

Hasbro sent me a 40th Vader and I also got an Amazon Prime Darth Revan yesterday. They sent it in an envelope instead of a box so its creased, but I was thinking about opening it up anyhow. Its a great looking figure.

That Stryker looks great. Bandai really does a good job. Their new walker is awesome.

The warehouse of a local collectible store is having a Memorial Day weekend sale through Monday. I went today and picked up a huge bag of Micro Machines/Action Fleet ships. I also grabbed a Virago model kit for 5 bucks.

Gamestop had The Black Series Lando saved for me. The 2 Royal Guards haven't been shipped yet though. Soon hopefully.
