Did you get over to see John and get a TIG badge?  Was there a lot of vintage?  Feel free to start a thread and share pics if you have them.  Maybe in the off topic section.

Yes we did!!!

Little disappointed....no leia dress.

As I only know John in the pic, maybe some introductions?

hahahaha tiggy with the uzays is classy

, nice pics from cc

Cool Tiggy photobomb!

Some nice pick ups from the comic con - who are all the dudes standing outside the ladies     I recognise John even without the Leia dress. Did anyone else get pics of the con?

I'm on the far right in the first pic.. and I'm the one who's NOT Boba Fett in my avatar pic.

Not really a new pick-up for me, but when I was visiting the farm last friday, I found some more of my old childhood SW stuff. I picked the stuff up last friday, but I only just got a chance to look through it. I think my favorite is my little scrap book and the stuff I found in it. I was super surprised what was inside.
My childhood Speeder Bike box, cut up, and the instruction sheet. My childhood Slave I instruction sheet, My childhood Nien Nunb mail-in paperwork. & a C-3PO mask from a box of C-3PO's Cereal.
The Nien Nunb mail-in paper is only in english. Either I threw out the french one, or it was only in english. It was a treasure trove of memories.

Thats an awesome refind!

Well done Clint I remember a while back finding two childhood SW books and was overjoyed about it (especially as I don't have any of my SW toys saved from childhood), so for you to find all that must be a great feeling, especially the scrapbook

wow some great stuff from your child hood clint.
I would love to own a farm

That "Things to Do and Make" book looks really familiar. I think I may have had that when I was a kid. When I go home for Thanksgiving, I'll have to look in my old room for it. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome pic up's guys! Wish I could've made it to comic con! Maybe next year.
Thank you to all who has welcomed me back, it def feels good to be collecting again.

Below is a couple pick up's I've done, got some great deals well compared to eBay
sales lol and thirsty oh the movie is coming out so let me inflate the prices resellers lol.

Anyways I got a complete orange snake yoda with some paint loss but good for $21 Shipped.


I also got this lot, trying to complete the Jabba Scene. So I paid $60 shipped for all pictured.
Squidhead (no weapon) - Klaatu (no coo) - Weequay - Gam Guard (Macau coo)
Klaatu Skirt (no coo) - Nikto (no coo).


Upon receiving the Figs I saw the no coo's are those worth more & the Gam Guard was a pleasant surprise since I always wanted a made in Macau (how much is one of those worth? & r they rare?)

Thanks

I agree, great "re" finds!

June, that Yoda is awesome for that price. Hard to find in that range especially (like you said) with the recent raises in sales on eBay due to the film fever.

Thanks man! And what u think about the bottom lot for $60 shipped, I got a Macau coo Gam Guard and some no coo's not sure if the G.G is rare?

$60 shipped isn't bad at all. I always make my rounds at local comic book places that sell complete figures and as far as individual pricing goes.. the lot you ended up with could easily fetch $95-100 (based off of what I've seen in person and eBay averages).

And is the G.G. Macau scarred or regular Macau?

With the arrival of Leia, she completes my first 12 set.



-- drying after a shower.



Super tight joints all around, no rips in her cape and the blaster is on point. Really happy with the purchase!  

Great pickups guys. June, I don't think the macau GG is a super rare figure, but not as common as regular hong kong version.

That leia is awesome!

And thanks trappedtexan.

My latest MOC, thanks John.

nice pick ups

I'm very happy to add the Ewok Family Hut to my Kenner Preschool collection:

That's awesome!!

The hut matches the kids' hair cuts on the box.

Nice latest pickups everyone  

June - congrats on the loosies, great pic of Yoda!

Matt - congrats on Leia, she scrubbed up well!

Mike - congrats on the At-St Driver moc!

Jesse - awesome Playschool Ewok family hut!

So true, never noticed that before. Parents back then could have referred to their kids' nit infestations as 'having little Ewoks running around'

Awesome pickups. Keep em coming.
