Durden08 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 a few pickups from Craigslist these past two weeks. the "Empire" Falcon and X-wing are both from the same original owner, who had them as a child and they are in almost unplayed with condition. no wear. the "Star Wars" Falcon is from a different seller, and the ship is also in very nice condition. parts are all there, just not put together. all 3 ships are very clean, complete, and working. both Falcon boxes are very nice, but the X-wing box does have moderate wear. Wow, nice haul. The Falcons and boxes look to be in great shape. I'd like to find a Star Wars version of the Falcon myself. I'd also like to find a nice Death Star box & playset. The Death Star playset is one of my earliest memories of Star Wars toys in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Thanks Brian, I really liked your Cobra Rattler pickup as well, I never had the Death Star playset as a child, so I haven't really been looking for any of those, but if I get lucky and find one, I will let you know. a local collectibles store today had just the top half of one. so you never know.

They are so hard to find without yellowed blisters. I've been on the lookout for a nice clean R2-D2 with pop-up lighstaber (his value has been steadily climbing, even loose) and an EV-9D9, but no luck. I also don't mind picking-up POTF figures not a part of the last 17 - I have a Darth Vader, and have been wanting a Yoda and Jawa. The Yoda can fetch ridiculous money. A lot of collectors jump right into the last 17, but I don't think many realize how hard some figures not a part of the last 17 are to find MOC on POTF card. Of the last 17, my favourite are the Luke in Stormtrooper disguise, the R2-D2 with Pop-up lighstaber and EV-9D9. I never took a pictures separately of the Vader, but this is a photo I posted awhile ago in a haul I bought - he's the one on the right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally's Comics Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I heard rumors that back in '86 when Kenner threw in the towel on the Star Wars line you could write Kenner and ask about the Star Wars coins and they would send you a whole set FREE!!!

comicwiz Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think the versions of rumours I've heard had more to do with the "Kenner really cares" promotion, and I guess different people wrote to them with different requests ended-up getting swag dependent on the nature of their ask. Overall, the coins are cool, but there are so many really convincing forgeries that I really would only consider owning a set of the ones that came with the MOC's, through owning the carded examples rather than trying to put a full set together in a frame individually in coin cases.

comicwiz Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well, I just stumbled across some extremely cool information and maybe even bordering mind blowing. This site will be of tremendous interest to many of the boardie's here who collect vintage toys, video game consoles, electronics, computers, and pretty much anyone who has wondered whether the yellowing of plastic could be treated.
