Luke, about those large size figures, yep. Those are the big ones that Kenner produced. I got a real deal on 3PO. I found him at an after Christmas sale at K-Mart. Cost me a whole $3.00! However, he wasn't the best bargains that I found. Between Empire and Jedi, K-Mart had a clearence sale on the Kenner Star Wars puzzles and I picked up 5 for 25 cents each. The real bummer was my Luke Skywalker one (even though it was still sealed) it was missing three pieces. While I was in college, Kay Bee Toy & Hobbly has a whole wall full of ROTJ action figures for $1.00. That was how I managed to finish off my action figure collection. They had all of them from Jedi. Got them in one big swoop!

I'd like to take pictures of the collection but at the moment I don't have a digital camera. Plus most of it is stored away in my room and I'm just not inclined to dig it all out. However, I have searched eBay and noticed that the Falcon and Vader's Tie Fighter (both complete and in the boxes) don't seem to go for more than $75.00 each (on average). So, I'm going to try and pick those up. Since I've always wanted them and I have disposable cash I might as well.

I guess the Kenner stuff seems to have gone down in value. Except for those last 17 figures. I still see those going for over $100.00 each. While I'd like to have them, I just can't see paying that much for them. I understand that there weren't many produced, and they are hard to find, but they are just too expensive for me.

Also Luke, that killer post is the blessing (or curse) of having a photographic memory. Well, at least most of the time. Generally I choose not to load the film.
