I think I just executed Order 66...

Used toys always tell a story and this collection here is one I would've loved to have as a kid.

When I found this offering, I had to act quickly! When I found it, it had been online for 2 minutes!
The seller received several messages at once, but somehow decided to sell this lot to me.
He removed the offering 4 minutes later, so it was online for just 6 minutes!
I paid with PayPal and spent the extra 3€ for the buyers' insurance. With offering like these, when things are just too good to be true, I just didn't want to take the risk a second time.

Initially the seller wanted 115€ (~$115 USD) for the whole lot, which was an insane price. My theory is that she recognized it herself with all the instant requests o she tried to adjust the price with 20-30€ shipping costs.
I knew this lot weights over 10 pounds, so it takes 10,49€ for shipping and so it was.
The collection was so well packed that I'm more than happy to have paid almost double the shipping costs. For 135€ including shipping this was still a steal of a deal!
I can't remember any better deal since I started collecting and cannot quite believe how lucky I got once again. You may go ahead and shoot me.


Everything was well packed. 12 pounds of Star Wars toys from the "Golden Era"...


I had to wash those first.

The water was quite yellowish-brown and this picture was taken before the second bath.
However the collection fortunately came from a smoke-free home!


66 figures and 8 vehicles! Only 2 of the vehicles are incomplete.


Here are some of my highlights in this lot.


It also includes some customs:



I guess Palpy got grilled by his own force-lighting and had to be put in bandages...

74 items plus accessories are in this lot. I cannot believe I only paid 1,82€ per item (including the ships)!

Wow Philipp you made out on that deal! Nice stuff. Some of those customs aren't too shabby either. Nice.

Thank you, Tamer! I didn't have much time to think about it and wasn't aware of how perfect this set was to add to my collection! The figures were a little dirty, but the joints feel like they had never been used.
I wasn't expecting that even the pistols of all the Clones are still there! None of them is missing!
When I sorted them today, I recognized how many Battle Packs are included here.
I didn't have the Ambush of Abregado so I was extremely happy to find it in this lot.
I could even complete rare figures like Mace Windu with figures of older lots (see page 200).
This is a prime example of how 2 incomplete figures make one complete.


So here it is: A child' solution to make Mace fit into his Jedi Starfighter. Just cut off the skirt because Hasbro didn't think about it when they designed it.
Am I glad that this is a perfect match to complete a full set of this Battle Pack!

Very nice artwork, DarthHawk! OREO started a HUGE promo campaign here in Europe, too! At least on YouTube. I was on a greyhound bus across the country on Friday for 9 hours and heard OREO advertisement every second minute.

Got a new order in from a local dealer. He has excellent connection within Europe and find the best deals.

I paid 10€ for each TVC Basic Figure and 15€ each for all the rest including TVC Deluxe figures and TBS Basics. Very happy to have gotten the Female Tusken with Hound cheaper than the Basic version.
The Black Series Ewok was just 14€.

Ahhhhhhhh, the throne room. Takes me back to the days when I was so excited about Star Wars and couldn't wait until the next movie was released. G.L. really knew how to entice his fan base.
Great collectible D.R. I have no doubt that this is a great addition to your collection.

It will serve as a base of construction for my DS I/DS II dio project. Great for starting the Throne Room in Death Star. I don't really know how I will make this part, but I know I want to make it  8)

Even if I won't make dios with this figure (for this time, I never know what sort of strange idea I can have) , I bought it.
Here is my Grand Inquisitor, 15€. Third sister is on the way...
