I mulled over buying a vintage figure from trade-me a while back not knowing if I really wanted or more to the point needed it haha and after a few days I finally buckled and got it. To my suprise when I recieved the payment instructions I also got an email from the seller offering me any of his other vintage figures that he didn't list on trade-me for $3-$5 each, He had 37 vintage for me to choose from ....I was stoked and so happy that I brought the first figure I didn't really need.

Has anyone else had a similar purchase or even the other way and recieved something less that you were expecting and were totally gutted that you got it??

I bought a AOTC Jango Fett "with electronic jet-pack" off trade me and I paid and waited a while and got the item. I can't say how disappointed I was with the figure the body sculpt was OK I guess but he has a big hole in his back for the jet-pack and his legs don't move any direction at all! so all in all a fail on Hasbro's part.

I have had mostly good experiences on trade me still looking for bulk lots of stormtroopers in NZ there's a few on Ebay but they're not cheap.

There was a guy on Trade me last week who had a bulk lot of Stormtroopers for sale (He said around 20) He put around 5 on when his bulk sale didn't go through so I'll let you know when he sells anymore gear so you can ask about the Troopers if you like.

OK mean thanks!

Not a "purchase", but still a nice surprise ...

There's an American forum / message board I belong to and a couple of years ago the main forum members all arranged to meet up at the big annual Star Wars Celebration III expo. Of course, I couldn't go, but a few days later the board's admin asked me for my address and a week or two later a small package arrived with various bits from the expo - mostly just the give away stuff which was interesting, but they had also bought me an exclusive Celebration III electronic 3 3/4" Darth Vader figure and a Jedi Mickey Mouse plush toy ... and they had all signed the expo programme catalogue as well.

I bought a few Action Fleet vehicles off of Trade Me last year and was pleasantly surprised to find the seller had included a number of smaller Micro Machine vehicles in the parcel as well. Turns out he remembered me mentioning I was a bit of a collector and had decided that it was best his other Star Wars collectibles went to a good home too!

Mate it's good when things like that happen aye....I've found when looking for vintage figures most of the guy's you come across are real helpful!

I just purchased a clone fighter tank of trade me loose for $20 it was advertised as a "spaceship" I love mum's who don't quite know what their kids toys are worth.
