Today is the last day for that Best Buy 25% off deal so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on Slave I.  Given the resale value on it $120 seems like a steal.  It ends at midnight, so anyone thinking about it needs to pull the trigger within the next few hours.

I just watched the final episode... you will be glad you did. 

This will become a very desired vehicle next Christmas.

:D

You have to be kidding. I was planning on getting a PS5 for less.

That set retailed for $109.99 US but has been discontinued.  That is a resale advertised on BB Canada.  However there are still some out there floating around in Walmarts in the states.  I just did a stock search in my local area and they are all sold out.  I would have done the transaction and shipped it to you.  At this point, eBay might be the best alternative.  As it came out last year, I would not expect another version of this ship for at least a couple of more years.

I pulled the trigger an hour before midnight and paid $122.19 after taxes. Thanks to Buzz & FF for the heads up. (thumbsu

Were you able to have it delivered to your home or to the store?  Another friend of mine out in Suffolk county who is not on the boards tried to get one and he can pick his up in Levittown.

I am picking it up on 12/26 either in Levittown or Westbury. Either one doesn't matter to me since I am always on the road.

My He-man and Battle cat came in!! It is a soft head and stamped Mexico 1981. Really nice condition. Can anyone tell me the rarity of this compared to the made in Taiwan figures?

Awesome, still one of my favs.

Not sure on the rarity. 
The early figures had a similar head to body mismatch like the one pictured (different complexions, don't always sit flush, etc). 

I looked at the recently released one thru Walmart.  Though the joints are clearly much better, I actually like the original over the new one. 

Now you've got me wanting to post some MOTU.

My local collecting group did secret Santa this year and I got hooked up with some Joes, Ewoks, and a Flash Gordon accessory.

Python Patrol is so legit.  Love the color scheme. 

Which figure is the Flash accessory for?  Got to be the 79-80 Mattel series.

Yep.  Even if either of us decides we don't have room for it re-selling it for at least a small profit should be dead-easy.

had the original 12 of these for many years, but just found a great shop nearby me here in portlandia that has tons of vintage toys and figures. so i picked up the cantina creatures, bossk, and yoda too. need a boba fett before i will feel semi- complete about this. but of course it's never complete. 

i still remember BIG D, the store on long island where i used to go as a kid to buy toys, and the thrill of seeing a new star wars character or empire character. it's amazing what emotions some old toys can bring back.

Hey Alex, I’m in the Pacific Northwest too!  What shop did you hit up?  I’m guessing I know which one, but I’m always hunting for new haunts.
