So I'm in this uncommon position of having my collection spread over 2 continents these days, the bulk of which is not where I am.

So after getting reacquainted with it all recently I had this heart-stopping moment when looking in the display cabinet. All these figures I collected 20 years ago without any good knowledge of rare variants. So when my eyes caught sight of a Ben saber a little shorter than it should be time stood still:



Bear in mind this is the same collection that I recently discovered some great Toltoy cardbacks just "discarded" up the back of the cupboard along with a Toltoys death star playset. It was entirely possible this was a Ben DT saber that I just never paid any attention to before.

So I reached in, picked it up hoping ... but just another broken Ben single telescoping saber  

On the plus side though, that is a black POTF endor blaster mixed up in Leia's hand. Ya win some, ya lose some!

Cheers, Jared.

Sad but funny story i only read the first bit before looking at the pic and thought omg has he found a dt ben in his collection.looks like you got me aswell

Daren

Not only you Daren my eyes went wide when I saw the photo then dropped when I finished reading. But yes great story though.

Just try to remember that excitement you had for those passing seconds. Forget the crushing reality that followed

Reminds me of my student days when I woke up in the morning.

i bought a couple of ben with broken tips of ebay in hope but they just turned out to be broken tipped....one day though just you watch il bag a dirty beater with a dt up his arm mwhahaha

ha I just looked at picture before reading it and my jaw dropped , oh wel welcome to the club
