HELP ME VINTAGE COLLECTORS, YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE!!!
« on: September 10, 2010, 10:09:52 PM »
I just picked up a vintage Imperial transport, almost complete.  It is missing the battery cover.

So, I need a battery cover.  Will buy or trade.

Let me know.

Thanks

Thanks for the e-bay tip, Doc.

I checked it out, and after 15 pages, no piece.  However, I did see about 37 other things I did not know existed, and now I need to have!!!

That's the problem I have with e-bay, I never find want I want.  But, I still manage to spend more money than I ever intended too!!!


So, if anyone has am Imperial Transport battery cover, let me know.  $ or trade.

I found a battery cover on ebay - for $20.

I also found an Endor Forest Ranger, looked to be missing a piece or two, and got it and 2-3 other vintage figs for <$12.  The Ranger vehicle is destined to be modified...heavily...


A few weeks back, I saw a lot of THREE ITT's up for sale, all in various stages of incompleteness/neglect/play-scuffing.  I'm still kicking myself for not snapping them up.  The fact I already have two means nothing...  :D

Perhaps $40 is a reasonable price for a complete one anyway?   :)

I think my *complete* one - with stickers - was less than $20.

I saw 1 complete, stickers on, with box, $20 on E-bay yesterday.

$40?  Too rich for my tastes...

I just need that one little piece. :'(

Help me.

(I'd even take a reproduction piece,  just don't tell anyone...some people take it personal!!)

I'm 10 hrs from home for the next few weeks, so I'm pretty useless.  We'll see what happens once I get home.

Pray Ebay does not alter the conditions of the deal further...
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.
