You got a good memory :-)
I don't think North Korea would ever do anything without support from China. They talk a lot of shit, but sooner or later we probably will go to war with North Korea. They should just build a wall to make North Korea great again....wait, they already have a wall...mine field, guard towers...

I usually don't bring up politics. Should've let MacArthur win the damned thing in the 1950's...within reason (no nukes).

I heard (when I lived there) that Guam's life expectancy during World War III is less than one minute. It's targeted from Russia, China, now add Korea to that list.
Fun History, Guam's been taken over many times, by the Spanish Conquistadors, The Japanese, and the Americans! Although we liberated Guam when we took over....but half of the island is for military bases.
My Tinkerbell came today :-)

 In the Regis Loisel Peter Pan series, the story is a prequel to the original. In this, Tinkerbell has black hair, and a single leaf tied around her front, and some string for the back. She basically has a thong on. She gets the leggings from the God Pan as a reward. She get's very excited about this and says, "SOCKS!" It's kind of funny. You think she's going to get some magical item or treasure and he pulls out these tiny flimsy things :-) Anyway, love this. |

Super clearance prices at Target )Jedha 4 pack was under $8) and Five Below getting $5 Star Wars 2-packs...resulted in these terrible photos. Also, a 50 cent taun taun at a garage sale,...split belly version!   Friday's resale shop finds resulted in this...Wildcard's wacky misadventures. (the figure was in a bag with other toys, so i had to buy the whole thing...there were some items not show, like kiddie building blocks.) The copter needs a canopy...of course. But it was $2.50  |

Friday's finds...all this for $2. Yeah. There were no prices and they were just offer us something. I offered 2 bucks. Their toys were a mess. I had to dig through stuff to find everything but the vehicles.  Saturday resale shop find. Old Corgi British Centurion tank for $1. I once had one toy from series, the Saladin armored car, IIRC.  |

This week's junk. I mixed in Wal-Mart and Target clearance and Five Below finds with used stuff this time. The Grievous, Tactical droid with mini tank were 50 cents...not each...in bag for 50 cents. Had accessories, too. (mostly not shown) I showed the copter, but it didn't have the canopy...I FOUND ONE at a community yard, no copter. 'Ow bizzare! Paid a quarter for it. They had an extra side door, why didn't I buy it? Oh, because nothing was marked. I get tired of that. 5 below Rebel lizard guy Pao/Death Trooper 2 pack ($5) $2.38 Rogue One/Farce Awakens figures $3 Rebels imperial speeder with pilot (sadly only one left)    Oh, got 6" Cassian Andor at Target because he was $3! I probably won't open him. |

That copter deserves to be mounted at the top of the Slaughter House base.

Nearby town had city wide sales, found two places with MOC star wars. Anakin was $1, the rest $3 each. The place with anakin had sooo much episode 1 and 2 stuff, $1 figures, $5 Reeks, $3 Jar-Jar with beast and STAP, and such. I should've bought a few more things from them, but I didn't. Most of these I don't have but I don't want to open any of them. I may just sell some, like the Amidala is actual worth a good $20, I think.  More scrapped vehicles for the Slaughter House? I hardly look at DVDs anymore, but the sign said $1 each...and that included boxed sets and the discs looked great, so volume 1 and 2 of Batman on dvd! Also, some obscure 80's bots. Yeah...that's part of Reflector. I didn't realize it when I got him.  |

Last weekend. No toys. Found a resale shop book with old trading cards in it. I stuck them in another book and bought it. I can't remember what the other book was. Shit, I paid 25 cents plus tax.  |

The thing I like about the trading cards, is they're like movie shots that we never saw on film. It always blows my mind because of how many times I've watched those movies, and seeing a "new scene" from that is kind of mind blowing. For instance, your Rebel Droids card looks sick. That book looks freaking awesome too.
In regards to the previous weekend finds, I can't tell for sure, but I think that Amidala is one of the worst figures ever made because of her arm. I wouldn't open it, and sell it to erase it from my mind. Everything else that's Star Wars in that lot I would keep. Nice scores.
I would put a Tie-Pilot or Bounty Hunter in that Cobra Hovercraft thing....the black and red vehicle. I would remove the pincher on it too.
The Firebat, just go outside and burn the end of the missing wing with a lighter, but let it air out for a long time...like a month. I love wrecked vehicles.
Funny story, when I was a kid I got the vintage X-wing for Christmas, I must have been about 4 years old. It came with these battle damage stickers you were supposed to put on. They looked REALLY neat. I put them all down one side of the main body. I showed my dad the X-wing and told him I was sorry I broke it, he was mad so I told him right away it was just stickers :-)

I don't recall that ESB scene, either. It was so odd to find two random cards from around 1980 in a book.
The Trek book is neat, but from 1995, so limited, but worth a look.
My brother had that X-Wing and never out the damage stickers on since they were not removable. I had the original but lost the canopy...twice...found it once then second time lost it outside...never to be seen again.
I thought people would be shocked I found a piece of Reflector at a yard sale. Must not be as rare as I thought.

Reflector is a rare find :-)
I just forgot to mention it, you kind of have a nice big haul there :-)
Is that the the Geonosis battle arena Padme?
