Thanks :)

Here's a photo I recently took...not carded figures, but loosely on topic ;)

These are my "childhood 12" (+1). I have others of these characters in better shape, with their original weapons etc, but these 12 (except the small head Han) were purchased during my childhood and have seen a lot of action.

Very nice set of figures.

That looks Luke the dark haired Luke Tatooine. Quite a well sought after figure!

Plus, it's an ESB character on an ESB card, which raises it's value to me.

Ideally, I prefer to get carded figs without price stickers, but it is always interesting to see what they originally went for ($2.44 at Walmart, in the US, in this case).

Really nice Matt.

What are you looking for next?

I may be able to help you with vintage MOC if you're after anything.

There are a couple of figures that I am after at some point in the future (e.g., R5-D4, IG-88, FX-7, Ugnaught, Dengar, Chief Chirpa, and Ackbar, all on their cards-of-first-release), although to be honest, just at the moment, all my pocket money is going in to savings to be spent at Celebration Anaheim.

This is my latest addition, a birthday present from Kristy.

2-1B is one of my favourite characters (along with FX-7), being of the medical profession. This card bears a price sticker that, either coincidentally or through the work of a store worker who was a Star Wars fan, pretty much spells out the character name 2-1B!

Very nice early card back. My 2-1B is on a 4-LOM offer 47 back!
