So after a very stressful week I was finally able to check out Walmart, meijer and Target, again.

I am going to upload some pictures over the next day, but before I wanted to sumarize the most significant discoveries:

1. Most of the Rollbacks and Clearances are removed from Star Wars shelves

2. Walmart has the Legacy Collection Build-A-Droid 2-Packs for sale, again, so for everyone of you out there having missed these sets-here is  your second chance!
     They are sold for $17.00 each, which was the usual retail price in 2009/2010 before they were priced down to $2.99 each (rebelscum.com report)

3. After the Christmas Clearance of  Target around The Vintage Collection figures cost $8.99...

After a friend of mine gave this amazing model kit in absolute new condition to me, I was wondering how much the actual retail price was...

There is no way I can just accept it as gift...his grand uncle gave it to him, and I have no idea what this Star Destroyer is actually worth...

-amazon.com I could find offers from $84.99
-ebay has an offer for a model in the same condition for $199.99
-there is an online store selling it for $62.99

Does anybody know for how much this Imperial Star Destroyer was sold in (2005?)?

I am going to leave for a one week field trip to California tomorrow, so please, don't be surprised when I cannot answer, but I really appreciate your support!

There was a fiber optic version that went for a decent price $30+ but I don't think that the non fiber optic version went for that much.

Well, I am back home, again, after the time of my life in Michigan...four weeks have passed already since my return and I had to catch up a lot for school because I missed more than I learned at High School...now, I hope to be able to find some more time for my hobby, again.

Over the next days I will give you an overview of what I have found over the last five months, what is worth to pick up and what I missed...

Additionally I will give you some information about the situation in Germany and what is available here.

Hope you are having a GREAT time! Stay tuned and take care!

Some moving News from Michigan reached me this morning. So due to the continuous lack of good stuff on pegs, you  might wanna check your used furniture…

I'm going to be back in Michigan in August after a decade! Who wants to hang out?

Prepare for a fun time and some store reports :D

Look what I finally found at Hobby Lobby! I've been looking for such a coin album every time I went to Michigan since 2010. (I know Amazon would've been too easy...)






So today I returned to Germany with my brother. We had a good journey flying over Charlotte and Dublin, everything was on time, but it was tiring. The jet lag hit me harder this time and I just got done unpacking. Two bags are still in Dublin and should be here in a couple days...

Thank you, Jeff! I did and wish I could've stayed longer...expect some pictures and local finds over the next days. I didn't take my laptop with me, which is why I couldn't add any posts until my return.
Just finished unpacking.
