Yep both were vintage. The Slave 1 is in it`s original box with all instructions the Han Solo carb is still in it`s wrapping! unopened! the Speeder bike is the same boxed complete with instructions. I did a part exchange for them but they cost me around £90 which is about $135 not bad probably could have got them cheaper but they were there and saved me having to hunt around!

Droideka's awesome! It doesn't fold up of course, but the arms are quite articulated and the "head" moves a bit. One of the better figures for sure.

I really want the Queen's ship. And any figure with robes are cool too.

I've decided to mainly go after the Jedi Council guys. There's just too much out there to collect it all, and the Jedi Council has a variety of weird-looking guys under a common theme. I'm especially looking forward to Yareal Poof (Q-Tip Head). I don't know why, but I think he'd be awesome as an action figure!:)

considering he sits on his arse all day, i think i'd remove the word "action" from the title and just call him a figure! :)

Hey, remember he's got an extra set of arms under his robe! He could be knitting a sweater or building a lightsabre during the Jedi Council scenes and we'd never know!:)

Personally, I don't want to know what kind of 'action' is going on with his hands under the robe! :)

I'm back from vacation, not that many care, but I managed to score some sweet Star Wars Toys.

Anyway, I have an original vintage speederbike, complete-Minus box and instructions. I'm not missing any parts, although the flaps fall off constantly. I also have both Scout Lea and Luke to ride it but not Scout Trooper. One of the newer toys I scored while away was the new Speederbike with Luke, I personally think the vintage version is better, less detail, but is is sleaker, and the underside is more detailed.

Good choices!
