| I'm in the process of putting together a minty DF R2-D2 as well!!!
Ive bought two so far... each one of them around $25.00.
I am awaiting a 3rd one via trade from Hyver!!!!
The toughest part is finding a minty dome!!!!!! |

| Indeed. I know I'll win the nice one I'm talking about, but it's going to cost me.  Gone are the days where one could find vintage items at the local comic shop. Gone are the days where one can find a great deal on the vintage items needed to round out a collection. That's when you remember that the Internet is a double-edged sword. |

| The seller is having a huge win. All his stuff is going way over the odds IMO. $160 for a droids C3PO- MOCs are less  $26 for the GDE Falcon box is cheap but add $125 postage- ouch |

| Yes he is. I can't believe I just saw a loose regular R2 go for $81. It was nice, but for that price I would rather it be MOC or in a baggie. My Collection | Ebay Feedback | RS Feedback | TiG FeedbackAFA U GRADE - READ  |

| Ouch! I think I would've bought the full set first and made my own for that price. No disrespect meant Tray.

| Well, at least for you it was your choice. The ex wife stole mine.
But anyway, I gotta look at the bright side. The R2 does look good from the pics, and I just won a Marion Ravenwood for only $9 more. It'll be so nice when all my purchases arrive. Only a few Indy figs to go, and my SW set is almost complete. |

| I have two packages from Germany and one from Sweden that are hung up in NY Customs.  Times are changed indeed. |

| Which begs another question.
Do any of the methods that customs uses actually harm our items? Will that vinyl cape Jawa arrive glowing in the dark? Will the 12 back Vader get scratched by their scanners?
I hope not. |
