I hope that Ewok set will be available online. It's one of the few things I want...and that Speeder Bike with Scout that's always sold out.

I had some money and happened to find for POC figures at TRU a few weeks back. I had to choose, but ended up geting Techno-Viper, Airtight, Law & Order and Steel Brigade. Airtight and the Techno Viper kick ass!

So now I have two Sideshow Crimson Guards. The first one came with a free Desert Sniper. The second came with a free Desert Officer. Nice to get those guys free, they were the only ones I was missing from the line.

What are the odds? That's a cool offer. You guys don't do flickr. I got another account, won't let me use the deleted one. A shot of most of the Star Wars stuff I got at various garage and yard sales over the spring/summer. A few things are off camera, couple of figures and those little holograms that came with figures years ago.  $20 for the AT-AT with 9 Iron men figures and a clone trooper tossed in. $10 for that Snowspeeder/pilot (Target exclusive and still has some value, as it was the only old mold one made with the air brake flaps) $10 for the AT-ST with the two ewoks and speeder bike with scout. 25 cents for the landspeeder 25 cents for the clone wars freeco speeder (no canopy, kids always lose those) 25 cents Cad Bane missing half an arm 25 cents POTF2 pilot Luke 25 cents, comic pack Rebel fleet trooper/officer minus hand 50 cents for the yellow Jedi Starfighter $15 for the other two bikes, deluxe Han, Boba Fett, stormtrooper and Radar laser with Rebel, light saber deluxe Darth Maul, Luke in Imperial Guard disguise (off camera) and MOC 2 battle droids and Destroyer Droid (not shown) $3 for a bunch of the figures and the senate pod (all of it for 3 bucks!) The rest of the large vehicles and Jabba were $10 total, all incomplete, some dirty. $1 each: Imperial officer, hoth rebel + rebel commando, Death Star Trooper, Tusken raider $2 for Baron Fel, Sandtrooper, Obi-Wan's table and a chewbacca bowcaster $1 Watto's astromech droid (can't really see it) 50 cents: Darth Sidious (evolutions), ROTS Vader, ROTS Obi-Wan along with a lot of non-SW figures in a bag for 50 cents. Free: carbonite block (no figure), armless tactical droid, some 70's droid factory parts (forgot about, didn't make the picture), Arena Padme (yellowed), some headless Nemoidian, helmetless Vader, an electronic R2-D2 |

Nice score. Canopies really aren't that hard to scratch build. Most of the clear plastic from MOC action figures can be used.
What's that rocky cliff base thing behind the Walker?

Heh....people are more interested in some cheap plastic mountain than anything else. I think it's a Tim Mee Toys (processed plastic) product. I found a different grey one, I know this one is a Tim Mee Toys product, it seems more common...and came in other colors. Of course, I think both were only available in boxed sets of dinosaurs, army men, cowboys/indians, etc. It's not something they'd sell by itself...unfortunately.  They are good because they are not shiny plastic. Rebel Trooper is pouring some out for his homies who died or were captured...  Found that green bottle, an old timey telephone (yoda is using it) along with some skiff guard weapons, ree yee's leg and 1982 Joe weapons at one place. Paid like 50 cents for the lot. |

Green bottle for the win! Snow Speeder rocks, what a deal. The AT-AT and Endor stuff too, hot damn!
That's probably the easiest part on the AT-AT to scratch-build. Cut sheet of plastic to shape and spray paint grey, super glue in place. Nobody will ever know the difference.
Those rock bases are neat. Not sure what I would even do with them (Tatooine maybe?), but they do look good.

Got some stuff I haven't opened yet. Ewok 5-pack, Speeder Bike with Scout, and vintage collection Ahsoka and Weequay.
Ahsoka has been MUCH improved!
5 pack looks like 5 Ewoks, but it's cool to actually get Kneesa.

 My latest 'toy'... White PSVita. Very nice little handheld device. It came with Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, got another game for it. Also got a few digital games. I like having access to old PSP games. |

Got my Royal Guards from amazon preorder months ago. I can double my money on them now...or not.  Chain here, 5 Below, sell a lot of crap (novelties, candy, t-shirts), but have a vintage wave from last year...the one with General Lando, Skiffmaster Weequay, dagobah crash Luke, AT-Rt Driver, Nikt Jedi...$5 each. They sell really well...I missed Luke. Got the At-St drivers, K-Mart exclusives. They are really tall. Found the Frost Giant King Laufy figure from THOR movie line at Marshalls for $6. I might resell him...since that wave was scarce. |

I used the Crimson Cobra Commander uniform for the Crimson Guard. *Sigh* Now I need another one. The vector sub machine gun is a good choice by Sideshow to give the CG's. Reminds me of those ray guns from "V". The backpack works pretty well except there's front chest straps I don't want rubbing on the cobra chest emblem, so basically the straps need some adjusting. Once that's done I can add a cord & ranks to the straps. I like being able to display him without all the decorations.   Cobra Commander is still angry at whoever made his mask like that. I'd like to paint mine, and put a decal on the head.  Zartan is on a new body.   Ahsoka: This is not the prototype convention preview version. They NEEDED to put Ashley Ecktein for the card art. Figure looks almost as good  It seems to me, that that was what Hasbro was going for with the figure. |

At Wal-Mart I found Dr. Evazan, Kithaba (brown bandana) and Nom Anor. There's a red bandanna Kithaba, but I'm not sure I'd pay $10 again...even if he is a good figure. Evazan is okay, good articulation but skimpy on accessories. Nom Anor is kinda goofy. Nice to find new figures at retail.
Also, some $25 Wal-Mart 8 packs that single carded figures from CLONE WARS but the cards are glued to the cardboard holder which sucks, because there were some I wanted to resell.
And Toys R Us special two packs, Mandalorian Transport with Clone Wars Jedi Fighter for $20 on black friday. The transport is a cool ship but seating is tight.

Sounds like good finds. I didn't know Kithaba had bandanna variations.
