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

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!!

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.

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.

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 ;)
