I can totally associate. Thats why I ship all my stuff to work usually and then I can "sneak" it in my house. LOL. Ah, at least I am not the only one!

Yep, the gunships are going for a good bit of coin.
How much did you end up paying, McMetal?

I don't have collecting arguements anymore, I simply ask if she prefers I hang out in the bars, and believe me living in Wisconsin, the bar tabs can get hefty ;)

I actually spend alot more on my car hobby than SW but I am at home and am happy for the most party so Sue leaves me alone.

As for the gunships, I regret not buying a few more when I had the chances over the years and for some reason they sure are getting expensive compaired to other SW items

Well, it ended up being a shade over $100 but shipping was free, at least.

I have no doubt I could have found one cheaper eventually (Saw one go 2 weeks ago for $75) but I was motivated by the opportunity of having it shipped here with impunity. :)

I have been watching the gunships on and off the past few months and they are definitely creeping up in value. I have no idea why either, but it is a huge relief to have this off my List.

I think I mentioned that I was a former and current fan of the metal band, Iron Maiden.
Here are a couple of pieces of Maiden merchandise that I recently won on Ebay.
  You have here, my official "the Trooper" vans skate shoes and a xl shirt from their recent 08 tour featuring Derrick Riggs's artwork for the singles "aces high" and " two min to midnight"

Around February or so I won the Power of the Force FX X-Wing, total came to $18, shipping included. Nobody else put a bid on it, I was the only one. Only downside was it didn't come with the missile but hey, I'll take it.

I want a Potf2 FX Xwing boxed bad. Man, that is an awesome price if it were just for parts, let alone only missing a missle.

I picked up the vintage Ewok Combat Glider and Assault Catapult, complete in their original boxes, for about $10 each plus shipping. I thought that was a pretty good deal.

I had a good bid on the Endor Forest Ranger too but got punked at the last second. These are not too hard to come by, so I'm not worried.

I am concerned that after several consecutive weeks, I have yet to see the Imperial Sniper or Security Scout mini-rigs show up at all on eBay...those must be extremely rare, even loose. I did see a Sand Skimmer but it went for about $25 which is out of my price range for the moment.

They are.  I've been watching for them, off and on, as I have money to play with.

On a side note, if you are a NIB guy, I have a NIB Forest Ranger that I'm finally going to part with, now that I have a loose one.  (I wouldn't call it mint, as the person I bought it from had opened the box to take pics of the contents and I think the box was folded up for shipping.  It's still stashed in the box it was mailed in, I need to get it out and photo it for posting.

I broke down and bid on an imperial pilots II evo set the other day. I got it for $27 shipped which wasnt bad I guess, considering that I wasnt going to find it any other way it seems. Had I have gotten it in a walmart, I would have saved about $4.50 from this price including my discount.

That sucks, the shelves are filthy with them around here.

But I still can't find my elusive Rumsleg!!
