Thanks, I actually researched it on eBay last night and it appears to be the Dulok Shaman. Unfortunately, I realized I am missing the spear or whatever accessory that he comes with...bummer.

Good luck with the photos! I'll keep my fingers crossed we can get 'em back!

Bit of a dry spell, but I picked up the variant Sy Snootles Silver Microphone stand this morning on eBay. Darn thing ended up costing me $7 with the shipping, but it's worth it. Now I just need to find the variant Droopy mic stand and clarinet.

Ok, scratch Droopy w/variant silver mic and black clarinet...he is mine as of today.  ;D

I've just about whittled down as far as I can with the cheaper figs, aside from that confounded Blue Ugnaught variant, everything else from here on out is likely to be pretty pricey.  (Relatively speaking anyway)

I've decided to go ahead and start knocking out the playsets next...price range on those looks fairly reasonable.

Unpacked the Hoth Ice Planet playset I got in the mail yesterday...it is super sweet. I really only needed the cardboard backdrop but I guess I have some extra pieces I can put up for sale now.

Next up: Land of the Jawas! (Same deal - only need the cardboard)

I got my open belly Tauntaun in the mail yesterday, with the original box as a bonus. The thing is in pretty good shape, there is minimal yellowing of the belly rubber, but one of the legs is loose. Still, a worth addition to the collection.

Figured I would take another stab at the Blue Ugnaught variant again too...bought one that looks blue in the photo, we'll see when it shows up.

I will one day be going after all the Hothy stuff too. Sounds like you are on fire.

Yep, I'm on a roll...mostly due to the fact that I'm 100% caught up with all the recent TCW product. Vintage is about the only thing left to throw my money at right now.

This afternoon I finally tracked down a green crossbow variant Chewbacca, for a good price too.

I think I'll likely have to slow things down for a bit this week, but I'm making some decent progress. 17 more figures, 10 playsets, 8 ships, 2 mini rigs and I'm all done.  ;D

I won an eBay auction for some awesome Ackbar variants...4 to be exact. Varying tunic colors mostly. This is not on my List, but I figured it would be a worthy addition to the collection.

My Droopy McCool variant showed up day before yesterday, but I am still waiting on Blue Ugnaught and Green Chewbacca.

Got my Blue Apron Ugnaught variant in the mail yesterday, and this time it was ACTUALLY the blue one! Yay! He's officially off the list! I need to pick up a replacement briefcase for him, but that's small potatoes.

Kind of in a pre-X-mas lull right now, but I expect things to pick back up next week.  ;D

You are gonna have to start us an image thread for all these great variants you are talking about. I would love to see what the regular one is and then the variant.

Scored the Rebel Command Center playset last night for a good price on eBay.  I'm pretty excited about this one as it was not an item I ever had as a kid...one of the very few.

Scored Vader's TIE fighter last night on eBay. I already have a replacement chassis if needed, but the wings on this one looked good and all the electronics work. Decent price too.

Guess I'm off my figure runs for awhile, I am finding better deals on the vehicles and playsets.

The list grows shorter! 35 items and counting now!

That's awesome McMetal!  I've been passively looking for some Rebel Troop transports for customs.  Since they're for customs, I don't want to pay more than $20 shipped for one.  They don't even have to be complete, as long as they have the bottom and top of them.  After that, I can work with things.

Otherwise, I have completed my collection of the things I had when I was a kid.  I even have it all displayed on a vintage children's book shelf!

I snagged a minty POTF Barada last night, but I'm sort of wishing I didn't now. I really wanted to only buy these last few figs WITH the collector's coins, but it's just too hard to find them all together in the same auction. (Especially Anakin - that one is really a ball buster, he is BY FAR the cheapest POTF figure, but among the most expensive coins, quite a disconnect)

So now I have to scrounge all around to find a vintage POTF Barada coin before I can actually scratch this off my list.  >:(

Oh well, progress is progress.
