As I mentioned on my last video blog, I have decided to try and collect the entire original run of Kenner Star Wars figures. I'm no fool, so I know that there are a couple (Blue Snaggletooth, Yak Face) that I will probably never get, but a guy's gotta try, right?
So, I
stole made this little graphic to show the progress of my collection and I've overlaid the figures that I have in red. Hopefully, through eBay, conventions and deals with fellow collectors, I'll be able to red-out the rest of this list!
Wow... I really thought I had more than that!
That having been said, if anyone has any figures on this list, not already "redded-out", that they are willing to sell, trade, give-away, throw at me or whatever, please contact me via email at ackshunphigyer [at] yahoo [dot] com.
And May the Force Be With You.
I dig this picture chart you made but i almost thought it was the Brady Bunch for a minute lol.
ReplyDeleteI shall keep my eyes for you as well in my toy travels. : )
Oh ye of little faith. Email sent ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm on it. Let me check the Batcave Archives and see what I have to spare.
ReplyDeleteThis semi-checklist reminded me of Days of the Future Past.
ReplyDeleteGood luck sir, enjoy your quest.
Awesome Reis, you have a great start. I have been thinking about going beyond my Empire goal and going for the rest. I need to make a cool check list.
ReplyDeleteI'm bookmarking yours in case I come across extras ; )
Have you priced that Luke Stormtrooper and Deathstar Gunner yet? Are you going for variants too?
admirable goal. This is a quest I too wish to venture upon some day, I'm rootin' for you! good luck
ReplyDeleteThis and the last video you did on "focus" has got me in some deep thinking Reis. More on this if i get my thoughts sorted which is always hard for me lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody!
ReplyDeleteChunky - Yes, I have priced them and they are INSANE! But you never know, I may find one in a swap meet or something. I'm not going for variants. This is going to be hard enough as it is!
Hey Reis, I decided to do the same thing about 16 years ago. I got them all except the blue snag,(my friend snagged it out from under me at a store one day).
ReplyDeleteI think I have an extra Boba Fett, I'll have to check.
Meanwhile if you see 2 blue snaggleteeth save one for me.$$$$
Also, how are you going to display these? Once upon a time I had made a display case that looked like a deep picture frame and was going to stick them in it like the picture on the back of the card.
Then I had an idea of getting reproduction card backs and bubbles and display them like they were new in package. After I priced it out that would have run over $300 to get all the supplies, so that idea quickly went away. Any thoughts or ideas anyone??
Malcolm, I like you idea of the deep frame of shadow box for these, maybe an opening front. That's what I kind of had in mind for mine as well. I will probably have it built faster than I could ever fill it though, LOL.
ReplyDeleteA very lofty goal indeed! I'm not a huge Star Wars nut(I do like the movies), and have come across a handful of figures recently. I would be willing to part with a few. I have Teebo x2(I want to keep 1), and Klaatu. These don't have accessories, and I'm not sure their from the specific line you're looking for. I'd be willing to work out a trade. Here's the link if you want to check them out.
