She's arrived.
Some damage between card and plastic, I don't care, it's for opening, as usual.
I like the sabers, on, off, broken in 2 parts.
10€ on Amazon with shipping.

Found this custom Rhodian figure in the wild. It's based on a rare Jedi figure from the LC Geonosis Arena Showdown 2-Packs. So it was well worth the 32€ I paid. Thought it was a neat custom Rhodian farmer, trader or any random citizen of a galaxy far, far away. TVC Dofine was 8€ - 43€ all together & shipped.




Comes with accessories of TVC Bom Vimdin.

Thanks, Jeff! Before I flew to Michigan, I asked a friend of mine to order a few things o HasbroPulse for me. He paid the premium membership and fortunately thanks to him I could take advantage of 40% off MRSP.
So this is what I got:

This month I could finally pick up the stuff that I collected over the course of a decade at a friend's house. To my outrageous fortune she didn't mind to store all the boxes in her closet, but if I had known it was going to take 10 years for me to pick up my stuff, I wouldn't have asked her for this huge favor in the first place! Here is why:






I opened most of the stuff when I was in Michigan. But I also found even more good deals at stores.

You are lucky to have a US contact. following the vagaries of life, I lost contact with the person to whom I had my various purchases sent in the US and who then had to send them back to me.

I lost many parts as a result, including purchases made from ISY members at the time.

I'm sorry to hear that DR. It's hard to stay in touch over such long distances. Maybe give him/her a call.
My grand cousin always says "I'm just a phone call away".

I pulled the trigger on two Class II vehicles from the Golden Era. I never had the ROTS Tri Fighter or the NR-N99 Tank Droid with original box. And both are in excellent condition. They're used from a collector who sold the tank for 50€ and the Tri Fighter for 35€. Not bad, but also no bargain this time.
As a collector I wish to get prices like this so it was absolutely fine considering that they go for much, much more these days.
To me it's a piece of art for itself to pack those vehicles back into their box like this.
Very good condition overall, just the stickers of the Tri are missing and one folded Buzz Droid.

I grabbed this $3 "Star Wars" Ahsoka figure while picking up groceries. It was the last one on the clearance aisle and it looked lonely so I decided to give it a good home 🤣

3 bucks isn't too shabby for the lightsabers alone! If I get an Ahsoka this cheap, I might resculpt and repaint her to Retro Darth Talon. Nice pick-up!

I found those two 2-Packs on my way from grocery shopping. A guy in the neighborhood sold them for 15€ each or both for 25€. He said they were gifted to him and he had no use for them.
It's remarkable that the boxes are in pristine condition. And for my total luck I could complete all three with this find. I got the one with Dengar for $14 on Amazon before. It was a nice encounter and both of us were happy.

On ebay and many other websites it's possible to log-in with your google or facebook account. And that's what I did to finally get the second version of the Endor AT-ST with Chewie.
The seller had it for 84.99€ or best offer. And he accepted my offer of 75€ plus shipping.
So I got this one loose, but like new, well packed for 81.99€ shipped. It's the price it goes for here in Europe right now: around 75€. So it got it in my fear of missing out and to complete all versions of this Walker based on the Legacy Collection AT-ST. Time to add to my review!

Nice finds, Philipp! Happy that you could complete the Retro 2-packs. You can now recreate the AT-ST scene in ROTJ where Chewie and Co. blow up the other walker :)

Nice, but I prefer Hoth version of all the AT-St. Even the one based on the original vintage mold.
