I got.....

From the help I have been getting at Rebelscum and the link to the imperial gunnery, I think the gun may be ligit.

The seller has been extremely cooperative and patient with me, he even sent me a scan of the same blaster from his Gunner. Not once has he been rude or defensive about it.

Going to call it good and leave positive feedback.

Very greatful for the imperial gunner site. I found it in a search but was sceptic. A fellow scummer sent me the link, several other scummers have vouched for his site and the creater of the site himself replied to the topic.

Imperialgunnery.com is in my favorites and a very valuable resource.

Good news!

The blaster is 100% orginal vintage!

When you guys get a chance, sign up for the gunnery.

Thanks for your help on this guys!

AWSOME NEWS!!!! So glad things worked out and it's legit!


Also, just wanted to add that I picked up a COMPLETE Luke Poncho figure from a UK seller for only 41.80 USD!

Cool DJ!

Man, where do you guys get the money for all this vintage stuff? I'd better stick to modern figures!

Tax returns and very awesome wives.

Ah yes, the good ole tax return. Now I know why DJ works two jobs! : D

At least there is an end in sight when you collect vintage. You guys are all close to having every figure. With modern collecting I don't think that's possible. Unless you're rich of course, then maybe.

After vintage I am concidering the EWOKS line. I will still have my Qui Gon focus too.

I just got in touch with a guy who makes customs. He did a really sweet DROIDS C 3PO. I would settle for a custom of that figure. Can't justify 120 plus for 3PO with bright yellow paint.

If I could stop myself picking up the modern stuff I could afford to pick up the last 4 figures in the vintage line I need!

Tax returns are nice.... but I have to agree with DF. Awsome wives make it much easier to finish vintage collections!

I won the complete top for the AT-ST. 23 bucks shipped.

I also scored some vintage original X-Wing decals for 15 shipped. From the same scummer that I got the Falcon decals from.

I am currently working with a guy to get a custom Droids C 3PO made. 35 dollars plus shipping. Not bad and the one he has looks great.

Since were talking vintage, should my Boba Fett have a blue or a black gun? Or did they come with both at different times?

The gun is the same style as one used for many figures. I have seen it in a bluey shade with my figures, although I can't remember if it came with Boba Fett in particular. I have also seen the same gun style in black.

I think it depends on:

When the figure was released - NH, ESB or RotJ
or
whether the gun is for that Fett figure or another figure with that style gun - ie stormtrooper.

Sorry - made this more confusing information to a simple question!

I hope this pans out. I won a lot of weapons with a Death Star rope in it. The guy thinks the rope is vintage original but not sure. I won it for 17 bucks and some change. Has a repro luke trooper helmet, some rifles, back paks and spears. Here is a shot of em.

Most of these waepons will come up for sale/trade here IF they are not all repros.

The rope is REPRO! Out of that lot, 4 weapons are original vintage. The seller did throw in a Biker Scout, gas mask and Ughnauht apron.

Shit, Df, That SUCKS! I could tell the bow is repro just because there was never a grey one issued. Too bad about the rope.

Maybe I will make enough off the weapons and extras the are original, I can buy an original rope!

Won a Death Star rope for less than 25 bucks! Should have it this week.

Got the rope and it is VINTAGE!

Also added a few beater figs to display in ships.
My wife bought me a Scanning Crew figure and a poster.

Got the Tatooine Ambush Battle Pack from Hasbro.com too.

Last night I won a COMPLETE vintage Lando General for 47.00! Weapon seems to be original. I have never seen a repro with the dot in the grip. This one has it.

Sweet price DJ!

Just did a buy it now on some jawas. I have all the new ones, so I figured I'd add the POTF2 and OTC two packs to my collection. I also got the jawa and ronto.

Just did a Buy It Now on CN Clone Wars figures Battle Damage Anakin and Yellow Clone Trooper for $3.50 each!

I got an over seas auction for a five figure lot of the NEW Clone Wars Mando warrior! I know that it is one of the figures from the upcoming battle pack. I'll still probably pick up a set at retail as well.
