What is your latest Kenner acquisition?

Tulgah · Mar 12, 2019

I couldn’t find a thread for this, so:

What is the latest vintage item you have acquired for your collection?

I recently bought a loose but complete Desert Sail Skiff to go along with the Barge.

The Rope and Instruction Booklet for the Death Star. Now it is Complete!

gerrit · Mar 12, 2019

I woul love to see a picture of your barge and Skiff . My latest aquisitions were a Han Hoth and Luke Bespin both in poor condition so they blend in with my original figures . There is a thread dedicated to recent vintage aquisitions in the Vintage: Limelight & Display section https://forum.rebelscum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=621

1997 Star Wars Power of the Force Darth Vader Tie Fighter with figure

WampasGottaEat2 · Mar 12, 2019

A complete Micro Collection Wampa Cave and the figures for the Ion Cannon

toyman941 · Mar 12, 2019

Ackbar mailer. Also ended up with the return of the jedi insert as well as the revenge of the jedi insert.

That's neither vintage, nor Kenner.

Anyway, I just got an AT-ST Driver in the mail today. No weapon, but I only paid $10 for it, so it's no big deal.

Bit the bullet and got a (pretty clean!) Blue Snaggletooth...

jabbabon · Mar 12, 2019

A vintage teebo I found in a pixar cars slot car track at goodwill. It was a fun bonus!

Lobotscomb · Mar 12, 2019

Finally got the battle damaged tie fighter. Perfect condition at a price too incredible to believe. Now all I need to reclaim everything from my childhood collection is a Landspeeder and Blue snaggletooth. Then its on to the large size figures.

toyman941 · Mar 13, 2019

Battle damaged wasn't on my list at the beginning and I passed up a bunch. Now I'm wishing I hadn't.

Those large size kenner figs are great. I have the full set.

Nice, with white box and everything? I still need one of those.....and Bossk.

1BadMotivator · Mar 13, 2019

Last weekend I picked up a ROTJ MLC-3 complete in the box with the internal cardboard, but no instructions or catalog and a Tri Logo Klaatu miscard; regular Klaatu on a Klaatu Skiff Guard Tri Logo card.

Weekend before that I picked up a really, really, really, nice DROIDS C-3PO MOC. Still need the A-Wing Pilot, Sise Fromm, and Boba Fett to complete that run.

toyman941 · Mar 13, 2019

Yes. The real find was the return of the jedi insert because it's far less common than the revenge of the jedi insert. I will display it with both.

muckywookie · Mar 14, 2019

My last purchase was a MOC Wicket on a 77 back Canadian card. At least in the UK there were a couple of weeks last year when the landspeeders seemed to be really easy to pick up on eBay. I got hold of the Palitoy closed bonnet landspeeder for an absolute song. I only have spare bonnets and seats for the Kenner one.

StarFin · Mar 15, 2019

My last figure acquisition- Lumat w/ accessories
Last Vehicle/Playset - Death Star Space Station

lotjx · Mar 15, 2019

I thought I bought a loose Ammanam for $10 turns out it was a Hasbro. Still it fits the Kenner size. Minus that I finally got the Rancor.

That’s a great bullet to bite! Congrats!

That’s some big-time stuff! That Droids 3PO is a grail-type item. Congrats!

cichlidjedi · Mar 19, 2019

Just got the Micro Collection Hoth World set and set it up. I need the turret set now and I'll have a complete display!

Faker · Mar 20, 2019

I bought a Jabba pipe/bowl in baggie to complete my Jabba.

I always wondered if those aftermarket pipe/bowl bags and the Salacious Crumb were acceptable replacements for the Jabba Playset.

If it’s the ones that popped up last year or so, I thought that those were just old/dead stock.

I’m pretty sure they were old stock. There were already so many legitimate old stock pieces on the market that it wouldn’t even be profitable to bootleg them. I got mine from BigBadToyStore. They claimed it was legit and I have no reason to doubt them as I’ve always had stellar service from them.

x98lbwuss · Mar 20, 2019

Yes, they are an old stock find. They are legit.

Tulgah · Mar 20, 2019

I saw them around. They’re definitely old stock.

POTF2 DID have the Kenner name, although technically owned by Hasbro.

Recent item for me was a near complete Snowspeeder, then the parts to complete it. Also a handle bar to finally complete a Speeder Bike.

Yeah, Hasbro acquired Kenner in 1991 but didn't drop the Kenner logo until about 1998 or 1999; but that doesn't make POTF2 vintage.

Anyways, my most recent acquisition is a really nice loose Boba Fett complete with his blaster.

WampasGottaEat2 · Apr 11, 2019

Just purchased a minty loose yak at a fair bargain and had some change left over to buy a mint gunner as well. Now I'm broke, but I'll be back. Poncho Luke and General Lando, you're next!!!

GrandAdmiralJSK · Apr 11, 2019

Last thing I bought was a POTF coin lot, that had a ever-elusive Yak coin, the last one I needed for my "last 17" loose set. Sold the rest of the lot and got the Yak for a mere $100.

Im hunting for a good/nice trilogo/palitoy fett, but man they arent cheap these days

Tulgah · Apr 12, 2019

Wow, big time scores! I’m jealous.

hahaha. Mine might have a little more pink. That thing's awesome man

lotjx · Apr 14, 2019

Finally got a Jawa loose for $10 opted not for the cloth one as the seller prices were sorta high for loose. Did get a Vintage Imperial Troop Transport for free after buying some old Marvel Legend Figures as part of set. I even got $5 off the figures.

Star_Wars_Dork · Apr 16, 2019

Bought a lot off ebay for $100 that had multiple figures, but it had two endor lukes and a ghost anakin in it...so I hope it works out!

solokenobi · Apr 17, 2019

my news....

DarthWaller · Apr 17, 2019

I picked up a straight AFA 85 ESB Lando 32 Back B, loose smiling ESB Lando and Lili Ledy Skiff Lando from Celebration this past weekend.

bigbarada · Apr 17, 2019

Just received a Dengar figure in the mail. This is proably the first "flesh colored face" Dengar I have ever owned. The Dengar figures I've owned in the past always had that yellowish colored skin on his face and I never really liked that.

I have a new IG-88 on the way, as well. Seeing that preview for The Mandalorian has rekindled my interest in the OT bounty hunters.

Tulgah · Apr 18, 2019

I too think that the Disney+ series will rekindle interest in these vintage bounty hunters. And if Boba Fett does eventually show up in the series (and we see him get to be awesome on screen), then his already huge popularity will again soar.

I love Dengar. The one with missing paint was sold to a scum member and the PBP Dengar was bought of another scum member who tragically passed away.
