It's only going to be in the low 20s here, but it did rain yesterday and all day today.  Snow level is going to drop and it will 100% freeze over tonight. Not too bothered by the cold, grew up in snow country where it was in the teens and below zero often.  First day I moved to where I am now, it snowed an inch and this whole city shut down. 

Again, I hope you're all in a nice warm place or will be soon! 

Be back in a bit and FYI I am on the west coast (PST).

Was going to drive to get coffee this morning, but my Jeep is completely iced over and it's raining ice.  Don't worry, I have coffee and...trust me...that's good for everyone. I'm about to fire this up.  Get a warm drink, kick back, converse and let me know how the weather is where you live. Oh, and buy a lot of books while you're at it. 

[lizards2]

We have a foot on the ground here, and it is snowing hard. About 30 degrees though.

[Designer Toast]

It didn't snow hard here at all, maybe four inches, maybe.  That freezing rain hit us hard here.  My German Shepherd and my pit-mix (new puppy) went crazy outside and chased each other until they dropped.  This is the new puppy's first snow.

The snowplows don't run here on the weekends, because the town doesn't want to pay overtime...., so it is a mess.

I just shoveled about an hour ago, and it looks like there is another four inches.....,

Ummm..., most vehicles made nowadays don't have clearance for chains?

Or maybe it is just the three that I own?

Sorry for the delay.  Let's start with some plastic crack here...

POTF Han Solo in Carbonite (1984)   $260

This from an original owner collection and was only displayed.  No coin.  Tight joints, fantastic paint!  A bit appropriate considering the current weather.  It's a very balmy 24 degrees here currently.

Probably the three you own.   When I lived in the southern part of the state, it snowed like crazy.  One year I literally had to dig a tunnel in the snow to get out of my house.

POTF A-Wing Pilot (1984)   $175.00

Original owner collection.  Tight joints, great paint, POTF coin!  Only displayed.  Missing gun.  A single figure with no gun and no coin recently sold for the same price.

[Designer Toast]

Blue Snagletooth (Sears Exclusive)   $299.00

Complete with original gun, original owner collection. 1978 Hong Kong mark.  Some paint loss on boots and hair, some chipping on hands.  Saw one in way worse shape recently sell for $250.  If you don't know anything about this figure, the story behind it is interesting.  This figure was originally going to be released with the regular line.  When Kenner obtained photos from the movie for toy production, they only received black and white photos of the creature from the waist up. This is what was produced.  Someone from LucasFilm told them the creature in the movie was really short and dressed in red - a smaller version with the correct coloring was released as a single packaged figure.  Production had already commenced and this blue version and was offered as the Cantina Adventure Set that was a Sears department store catalog exclusive.  I've included a photo of the original set for those interested.

Boba Fett   $65

1979 with original blaster.  Nice tight joints, great paint.  Original owner collection.  Hong Kong marking.  

 

[Designer Toast]

Okay, last figure for a bit and we'll move on to some comics...

Jawa 1977   $70

Super nice figure with great paint and tight joints.  Original owner collection, display only.  Great looking figure complete with original gun and cape.  Really nice!

[Designer Toast]

IRON MAN #2     8.0    $165.00     $150.00

First appearance of The Demolisher.  Nice copy, clean staples, good color and gloss.  Some fool thinks he can build a better armored suit than my boy Tony Stark.
