| Broke - congrats on the latest trio of loosies. Everytime I see a loose IG-88 I'm reminded just how cool a sculpt it is. And you got a hollow eye version too |

I second this! IG-88 is such an awesome character and figure. Do you have both versions now? Congrats regardless! |

| Whoa that sand people is awesome.
I got my Vader Tie Fighter in and I ordered a Pop Up R2D2. And an expensive S.T.A.R Sentry from The Black Hole. |

| Nothing super special, but while he is not completely 100% mint, the X-Wing Luke is a substantial upgrade in quality from my childhood X-Wing Luke figure who has seen better days. And Endor Leia is special as it is a gift for my new wife as an addition to her own (not only vintage) Leia figure collection. I still cant stand the eyes on the x-wing Luke though, part of why i haven't cared too much to upgrade him before now i guess, but can justify this one as a sort of variant to my original as this one is raised bar and original isn't (but i dont tend to go for COO variations in general though). |

| TheSchwartz- Beautiful Tusken! Feenicks - Congrats on upgrading Luke XWP! I have to agree about the eyes. Leia is a beauty, too. |

| Some nice pickups in here over last couple of days.
Nice tusken on a 20 back. I don't know all the back and whatnot as I don't collect carded but is this one fairly rare?
couldn't agree more regarding luke xwing eyes. The dots kind of make it look non human more like an anime type thing or something.
Congrats on getting the vader tie working broke. Glad it came back to life. Now with a second piece coming you can make a crash scene and imbed I into the sand or something. lol |

| TheSchwartz - congrats on the Tusken moc, very nice! Feenicks - congrats on the Luke and Leia. Luke X Wing is one of my fave figures but I agree his eyes are pretty pointless and he looks nothing like Luke. Luckily he always gets high billing for being the first pilot figure and one of those rare figures that is good at keeping hold of his blaster Broke - much prefer the pics of R2 without that dodgy bit of plastic sticking out his dome. |

| I am open to any and all offers to help me find an original saber. Seriously, I would love nothing more. The fact that I lost an original by $2 is heartbreaking. Let's make this a group effort. |

| I can remember only a few years back when an R2 and pop up saber was around 50 - 70 USD. I used to think then it was expensive but now it's just mental. Wish I'd picked one up then but hey As Bill said, ask around. if you're prepared to pay you'll get one eventually and have the satisfaction of knowing you have a genuine real deal accessory if you get it from a trusted source. |

| Yeah I'm so new here I don't really know who to trust or not so I just trust everybody. It will probably get me in trouble at some point. But everyone seems so nice and helpful here |

| I was lucky to buy mine complete. Since then, I've only seen less than a handful on eBay or threads. Just constantly keep an eye out and make sure you update your WTB thread so collectors can see. That's all I got. |
