i guess now we know why they were still around. that's terrible to hear, roger. maybe you can fill it with a light-weight resin and turn it into a statue? you can't be done with toys forever?
That's what you get for taking it out of the packaging, TOY-DEFILER!! You should slab it, then freeze it in a block of carbonite.
I couldn't resist CAT-AT It's a big beautiful bastard but it's kind of rickety. The feet/leg rods are constantly popping out, but overall great. It was 10$ off this weekend at ToysRUs
Well shit, let's get this back on track!!! I just got this in the mail from a friend. It is complete and all. So stoked!
Reviving this thread from the depths! I just completed the first wave of the vintage collection today at wal-mart, and boy, I fucking love these little dudes, now for all of the vehicles . Does anyone know what is the most accurate newer sculpt of Luke that will go with the snowspeeder? I'm thinking of getting the legacy collection one..
Whoa! I remember these! Micro Machines were the best. I had the Endor one and a bunch of those heads that turn into playsets.... action fleet was cool too
MicroMachines were awesome. I had the Slave 1, which was all plastic, but still a nice sculpt. I broke down and got the new Snowspeeder. I think I'm going to order one made of Swarovski crystal, the sharp angles, nice detailing, above all others the Snowspeeder was built to fly like a bat out of hell. Always sort of reminded me of 80s compact sports car, like a Mazda RX-7. Now more than ever.
Why are you guys chasing all this new stuff? Does that mean you have a complete vintage collection? "I will collect new star wars just as soon as I finish collecting old sw..." I was buying on the bay until I got spooked about counterfeits... any reputable places for vintage ??
http://www.jedi-business.com/figureDetails.aspx?ID=383 It's the best out of the ones I've seen. In the new toy catalogue that came with the at-at there is a pic of a new hoth Luke next the vintage legacy collection, so either it's not out or it's a pic of the one from the link that came out last year A great toy is a great toy.

I couldn't care less about most of the star wars stuff old or new, but sometimes one toy hits the sweet spot (like that friggin' giant AT AT) and I gotta go throw some money at it. At least my girlfriend enjoying making fun of me while I was assembling it.
Well after going to the Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, I have had Star Wars on the brain. So I dug the original 12" line figures that I had out of storage for a photo shoot..
had some digs and scuffs. Also a bit of glue discoloration on the seams, but over all in good shape. I got him years ago at a local comic shop. The Vader I got from a box of toys that was in the attic of a friend of my mom.. Think I gave her $10*
wow those classic 12" are way better than the gentle giant ones! I was dead set on trying to get that stormtrooper, but after seeing what was posted here I'm glad I didn't jump on it!
R2D2 never goes out of style. Ever read that weird Star Wars conspiracy theory where R2D2 is basically God? But I digress... Yeah, Ive got ST on the brain. Each new line is like updating software. But in each new line, there are usually some repacks from previous lines (w/ the general omission of the muscular Power of the Force figs). That Gentle Giant trooper... I still say it's a cheap shot at copying S7's Shogun Trooper. I came verrry close to buying that f'ing Boba Fett helmet. Sure, I don't have a girlfriend now, but when I do, that thing is really going to have to be hidden far away. But it's so f'ing cool. Regarding Luke Hoth figs, get the last Legend Saga Luke in his pilot garb, comes with a harpoon gun for hitching a ride on the nearest AT-AT. I'm sad to see the Micromachines Titanium line come to an end, but they did so with quite a bang. The Nebulon frigate and the Outrider are just dope. A few in the series are duds, but most are really sharp little sculpts. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that Galactic Heros line. Semi-anime style super deformed non-poseable figures. The AT-AT however is a cool $50 cheaper than the full-blown AT-AT, and proportionally is kinda cool. For the small figs, I picked up the Spider Droid. One thing I've been drooling about for a while are Marusans old 12" figures. Some of those are outstanding. Prices vary. The American 12" figs (not sure who produced them) are kinda cool, but I don't want to fill my apt with them. The Admiral Ackbar matches the sofa, couch, and whole decor of any room. He's all class.
Picked up the fett helmet and of course the fett blaster. My wife rules so they are displayed with pride in the livingroom when not being wore by myself as a hunt our uglycute cat.
