London, ON Star Wars Finds

So, I picked up 2 things today. A Darth Vader Gumball machine; very nice made with metal base and glass ball. I also got a limited edition C-3PO giant pez candy roll dispenser. It's not like the ones I've seen before, it's a metallic gold finish the eyes light-up and it talks too.
If you think you want one talk to our landlord.

 

Is C-3PO "over 12 inches tall"? I think I have that sitting on top of my computer desk.

 

yes, it's over 12" and gloss gold one.

 

I had the chance to get that one for $20 in Square one... but chose the R2 instead...

 

I found a star destroyer PUZZ-3D 823 pieces.

I already have one but I thought it would be fun to put to gether at the garrison and hang it up there.

 

I have half of that puzzle.. I think. Maybe I threw it out when I moved though. I also have 2 Millenium Falcons, but they are each missing a different piece.

Anyone good at making those plastic models? I have a Death Star and a Star Destroyer, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about putting them together.

 

I love making plastic models.

If your 2 millenium falcons are missing diferent pieces wouldn't you get one with all the pieces?

 

In the movies the falcon lost it' sensor dish in the second death star run. maybe it's not really missing anything!!!!

Darth Papa

 

well... one of the Falcons has the sensor dish supports taped together.

 

The FX sabers are down to $50 in Winners!

 

I'm off to Winners!

 

I'm back. I got a saber staff. However, none of the stores in London have any sabers now. Unless I missed one; Clake & Dundas, Fanshawe & Richmond, Fanshawe & Hyde Park, Exeter & Wellington.

I think that I'll go look at the store in Woodstock tonight.

Well, Woodstock has a green Luke and 2 Darth Maul but they are only marked down to $74.

 

That's still more than I can afford right now.

I did get a used Darth Vader yesterday though, it's been mounted on a wall, so it's in VERY good condition. It's probably going to go on my wall in the sewing room.

 

Store here has 1 open Ani and 3 sealed Vaders... I bought the 2 open Mauls... both were open, one missing pieces, and no connectors... I bought them both bocause I got them for 20 bucks each!...

 

Slowly. We're turning you to the dark side.

I may have an extra connector for the staff.

 

Did you see my post about a costume idea?

 

I have 2 lightsabers if anyone wants them.

No they are not Darth Mauls.

I found some blue MR FX Luke Skywalker lightsabers for really cheap and the sale is ending so I picked up 2. There are still 2 at the store but the sale is over tomorrow.

 

how much are they going for? My room mates may be interested in it or I may be interested.

 

They have them at the Sear outlet 74.99 and 40% 0ff.

 

So cool! I just found a copy of 'The Jedi Master Quizbook'. I read this in my school library when I was a kid. For those of you who were not around in 1982. This is a book writen by a 12 yr old boy and is the most wanted book to fans around the world. I have his e-mail address to if anyone is thinking this would make a great first guest speaker if we could get the sponcor ship.

 

Is that the book with 3 levels of Questions?

 

No it's 425 Cosmic questions & answers about star wars & the empire strikes back.

It's old and some of the answers are wrong and today those answers have been super redefined into high tech mumbow gumbow that nobody under stands any way.
Hey back in 82 for a 12 year old to write this, it was good.

 

Someone should tell the guys at Heros that the Yoda and Chewbacca backpacks are a big hit. They should get more of them.

 

I had one back in the day that had 3 levels of questions, probably about 200 altogether, easy medium and hard questions. wish I still had it

 

I'll bring the book tonight so you can see it.
