I lied last week when I posted here about how that carded Tie Pilot was last pickup for 2016, I got this in the very last few days of the year :

nice Nicholas, good luck with finding the accessories

thanks a lot,

for the cards palmito, i will made a better pics, but of the collection, he missing one card,

Nicely done Nicolas. They look to be in good shape.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] thanks guys! They are in great shape, just Lando seems to have decided to wear pink panties now

As for the accessories, I think I'll have to live with the Last 17 missing a few bits. If I manage one day to have all the 17 of them that would be already great! (I have 4 of them so far).

Nice score Nicholas! I've got general Lando complete but he has a lot more paint damage to the face than yours lol my avatar is photoshopped, lol he's missing a good amount of hair.

Just scooped another one of the semi difficult last 17 myself, once again complete but missing a lot of hair lol

Still loving this great lot I just picked up from a great collector.

Also I'm very disappointed with Prineface's inability to hold his gun lol which looks like it was re-used from a civil war series... Wth Kenner lol

* edit*

Man I am such a rookie. I though my Luke stormtrooper's leg was violently bent lol not realizing that it was created that way. There is a straight line on the left leg that looksmobviosly warped but I guess they didnt bother fixing that when they re-designed the leg to have a wider stance. So aside from the hair wear it's a pretty decent specimen lol although some videos I've seen show the helmet going on a lot easier than mine does. I believe I'm going to display it as its photographed here.

awesome howd ya get them to stay on the ceiling like that ??? just kidding

with time you'll have the last 17 just keep plugging away . im not one to give advice but I have to say when I was younger I always found it easier to complete the harder to find figures if they were purchased that way . with todays market and ebay being cut throat on rarer stuff patience is not a virtue its a necessaty . congrats on the pickups and always enjoy what ya have

I think my pics show up differently on other devices. I only use my phone me for this site, pic is really that side up here but cropped on the right side by the Luke.

Chris, Nice Luke Stormie.  You might be able to find another one locally.  He is supposed to be one of the few POTF figures we had available here in Canada.

James, That's a fantastic haul of "gimcrack".   What in particular were you after in the lot?

Great pick ups everyone

A very nice oddball lot there James

Congrats on the latest additions everyone (I haven't made a purchase in quite some time but you're all inspiring me ).
@James, I'll look forward to seeing your Odd Ball updates, especially the slides.

Good to know Clint. The hair is kinda bothering me out but I got him with a SW vinyl carry case and those other figures there. Could have probably successfully haggled a bit if I had noticed how bad it was. A mint one was sold at a shop locally with a coin for $350, seems a bit crazy. This one was 200.

Hey Chicken what is that purple package at the top left that kinda looks like POTF2 branding.

This Factors charm bracelet has been on my hit list for a couple years and has been a difficult piece to find :

That's awesome. Your becoming a Factors focus collector.

Just some small pins made by a company called Adam Joseph . One of many items made back in the day to capitalize on the Star Wars marketing frenzy

Not really vintage but I've picked up that cardboard Death Star Playset clearanced for 4€ today. I plan on using it to display a few figures, I like it's vintage vibe. It seems a but small to fit with modern 3.75" figures, but the vintage Kenner figures being a bit thinner, it might be good!
