    Thanks, actually slowed down lately. Ebay lowered tax bracket to $600/yr so difficult to sell items and make $. And I decided after going over the OT that I should sell some of my army builders who shouldn't be army builders like Imperial officer (Commander Veers), Klaatu, Weequays, Niktos, I had so many. All those lots are bought off Ebay and shows. As for the stores and online orders, I keep those to a minimum.

    How is everyone's holiday shopping list going? Any hard to finds out there?

    So I had no idea these were a thing but I got an early Xmas present of some "bitty" Pops, with a set including Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Tarkin. I'm definitely not into the Pop sensation, but I think these little guys are cute.

    I'm moving away from 3 3/4" figures, I just don't have the room for them. However if they ever did a slamming awesome Death Star or Ewok Village or huge Theed playset, I'd be hard pressed to pass them up.

    Just got a few Star Wars items for Christmas this year:

    I always get a new ornament for my Star Wars tree - this years is the Darth Vader vintage action figure Hallmark keepsake.
    Then I got the Episode I set of Doorables.
    And a Death Star popcorn machine!

    I also got an ornament- Luke and Vader's duel on Death Star 2. Then I got some Star Wars-themed wooden stirrers and spoons, and an Enoch Pop figure.

    And of course plenty of gift cards to throw at SW books and LEGOs.

    Not really sure where else to put this, but if anybody's interested in a (somewhat belated, apologies) look at what, or indeed who, was in this year's LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, I got you covered.

    I nabbed the Moff Gideon with darksaber Black Series figure at a thrift shop. I love that the holster for his blaster is functional as well.

    Thank you. It was a nice holiday break. I've been going over The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett so had a chance to open some carded figures and playsets to do some set ups.

    I told myself that for 2025, I was going to scale back my Star Wars collection a bit. Mostly by not buying everything new I see lol. I did this just so I could focus more on the Star Wars stuff that means the most to me, like my Phantom Menace collection or my Captain Phasma collection. However, so far I'm proving to be quite terrible at this because I've gotten quite addicted to the old Power of the Force 2 toys. I was born in 1997 so I didn't grow up with those toys at all however they have that old-school toy charm to them, and there's just so much great variety. With that said though, I recently had to practically force myself to buy the 1995 versions of Lando and Leia, mostly just so I could complete the first wave of 1995 figures. I say force because that might be the ugliest Leia face sculpt, I've ever seen, however, I got mine for 3 bucks plus 5 for shipping so I was pretty content. It doesn't look so bad in hand I will say. Lando for me just looks way too ripped. Like it's really a tie between him and Farm Boy Luke, for the buffest figure lol.

    Luke was really working out in 1995. Those were serious gains.

    side note — I found Vernestra Rwoh at Target with Bazil. Bought her, left the tracker. Gorgeous figure but major points lost for no lightwhip. I’ll have to melt/make my own.

    I'm finally starting to sort through and un-box last year's haul. Gonna take it slow and go shelf-by-shelf.

    Decided to start with a small-ish Obi-Wan display. It's not finished yet (am hunting down a couple last bits) but I did get out and pose my Black Series Reva and the carbonized NED-B and Purge Trooper two-pack.

    Also un-boxed, put batteries in, and chatted with my L0-LA59 animatronic. She's so adorable. [face_love]
