Hey, I put some of my extra stuff in a trade thread:

But right now I need money to go to the Pittsburgh Comicon to meet David Prowse. Please see if there is anything you would like to buy.

I picked up a few things at a toy show over the weekend.
-Got complete Xwing with ANH box for $50. Box is in very good condition.
-Got very good condition Stormtrooper (no gun) with cardback for $5.

I haven't gotten any vintage items in quite a while so this is news.
Really just trying to get the few missing items I need. The above I didn't need except the ANH Xwing box but I had to get something at the Toy Show.

It means you have one with a letter on the hilt and one without. There's a lot of letter variations. Single letters, double letters and no letters. My understanding is letters are more common than no letters. It's pretty minor variation. I don't no of anybody who collects telescoping figures for the hilt letters. For one thing you really can't prove one saber variation goes with one figure variation.

I realized later that I goofed on my eBay auctions, winning an item I already owned (Endor Forest Ranger mini rig), instead of the one I had yet to find (Desert Skiff mini rig). Lost that one by only $.50, too.

Well, losing that mini rig auction turned out to be a positive, as I won another, and saved about $8-10, too. I remember looking at this toy back in my playing-with days and liked it then. The Desert Sail Skiff has a few cool functions (slide out plank, movable side fins that also move the clciking-sound cannons around the figure slot, movable top fin).

Have I mentioned that I like/liked the Mini Rig line much? I'm only missing the POTF and Droids ones, and with those fetching booku bucks, I'll probably pass on 'em.

what the heck is karp rye???

[LusiferSam]

Those are some cool scores. I had no clue what the adjusters for the sonic landspeeder looked like. The damage to the Falcon seem odd. The batteries must have dripped from one end to the other for that kind of damage to the cardboard. I wonder what other damage there is. On the plus if you want to clean the battery terminals, the Falcon is the easiest to clean.

I guess it is some kind of band. I was in a used record store looking for Star Wars picture records. And that one happened to be on the front of a rack. The store owner was all like "good choice man! You want me to toss it on the turn table? They sound great!" And I'm like, "A, I just like the picture of the kid wearing the Chewbacca bandolier!"
