Everything must go! Here's my collection. Except where noted, all are MOMC.

1) Jedi R2-D2 with long saber.

2) Naked Obi-Wan Kenobi. That's right, Obi-Wan accidentally molded
without his clothes. Anatomically correct.

3) Mis-boxed Leia. I found this rarity at TRU. It's Princess Leia, only
not only is the card a card for a Hoth Han Solo, the figure is actually a
Hoth Han Solo as well! If the sign above the rack hadn't said "Princess
Leia", I might have skipped right over it. I bought all 20 of them!
What a coup!

4) Three-headed C-3PO.

5) Yoda in Hoth Gear with Speeder Bike.

6) Gay Probe Droid. A little know fact is that in an effort to diversify
the Star Wars line, Kenner decided to introduce a gay character, namely
the Probe Droid. Christian fundamentalists found out about this and
protested, and the plan was nixed, but not before a small amount of gay
Probe Droids were released.

7) Mis-priced Chewbacca. Would you believe that K-Mart had Chewie for
sale with a price tag of only $1.99? I snagged this sucker up in a
heartbeat! I haven't seen Mr. Bacca for sale for less than $4.99, so
this is extremely rare! I won't accept less than $200 for it!

8) Non-Luke's-Father Darth Vader. Boy did someone at Kenner screw up! I
have an ultra rare Darth Vader that ISN'T Luke's father. From what I've
heard, this was a prototype from back when the original Star Wars movie
was released, that has been re-released by accident. I have no idea how
rare it is, so any info is appreciated.


Please email if interested. Serious inquiries only.

Dave

Well Mr. Wiseguy Communist - Had you looked to the left, you would have
also seen the mis-boxed Han's - they were all Leia's with Leia cards.
THe amazing thing is that the sign above the rack said Olos nah htoH,
another rareity caused by some brilliant stock clerk putting it in upside
down. But you probably missed them because someone had smashed in the
bubbles on all of them, except for one which had a big wad of chewed gum
stuck to it - ripped it right off peeling the dumb hologram in half.
Snapped up all 13 of those. Wanna trade a few? (I'm thinking early
retirement here) Hope you took a picture - I did.

I think your making those figures up because I haven't
heard or ready anything about them. Are these
figures real? Can anyone help me out on this?
The only rare figure Ive seen besides an SE Luke
is a X-wing Luke with his lightsaber accidentally
stuck up his ass. Is he worth anything?

Is this the tan vested or paisley vested Jedi R2? I already have the tan
vested one, but if it's a paisley vested one then I'll trade you my
Special Limited Edition Star Wars Scrabble game for it. The letters on
the tiles have been translated into English, and you can make any word
used in the Star Wars movies or books. Also, 'Q' is worth 10 points,
although that sounds more like something out of Star Trek.

I'll trade you my error-packaged Tantooine Native Luke Skywalker. This is
Luke in the outfit he wore when he lived on Tatooine. But here's the
cool part: there's a misprint on the package! It just says "Luke
Skywalker," not "Tatooine Native Luke Skywalker." Pretty cool. Also, it
was supposed to have a long saber, but they messed up and put a short
saber in the bubble, which also has an error--the slot for the saber is
too short to fit the regular sized saber. It barely fits the shorter one
that mistakenly was packaged with it! Man, Kenner really screwed up when
packaging this one.

Ok, I'm not so sure about the authenticity of this one, but if it's
legit, I'll trade you my ultra-rare, hard to find "Non-Leia's-Brother
Luke Skywalker." This is a special prototype Luke produced at Kenner
before they knew about the sibling thing. He has a tattoo of a heart with
the name "Leia" on his extraordinarily muscular chest. Evidently Luke was
orignally supposed to beef-up a bit before Return of the Jedi, but that
whole idea was scrapped in favor of the kinder, gentler brother persona.
My father's brother's daughter's boyfriend's dad's mother's neighbor's
dog's mother's owner's sister's son's uncle's boss's mailman's
grandfather's aunt's maid's best friend's nephew's teacher's second
cousin works for Kenner, and that's how I obtained this figure.

I also have for sale a special snow-covered edition snowspeeder. It has
real snow on it and inside the cockpit. I'm asking $1024.48, and that
includes shipping. I also have a special "Death-Star Crash Y-wing," which
is a replica of a Y-wing was completely disintegrated when crashing into
the Death Star, but I'm having trouble finding it. If I can find it I'll
put it up for sale. If anyone is interested in this hard to find
(literally) Y-wing, let me know.
