"It's working! It's working!!"

I think I have finally resolved my technical issues that I had been having with Blogger! My last post has finally.... well... posted. It's my rant on trying to find figures from The modern/vintage (oxymoron) line of Star Wars Toys. Well, what was true a few months back seems to still be the case! Those figures are still hard to find!!

 Just wanted to give a shout out that if you live in Kentucky, and are a Star Wars fan or collector, you should stop by Faith Lutheran Church this Saturday as KSWCC (Kentucky Star Wars Collector's Club) is having it's annual Fall Festival. It's festival celebrating Star Wars Collecting, of course. A great time will be had by all! There will be games, food, fun, and lots of prizes to be given out!
 That's Faith Lutheran Church, 100 Tates Creek Road, in Lexington Kentucky, from 12PM-6PM.

Come on out and have some fun!!

Vintage Tales of Woe....

I have stated before that I am concentrating my modern Star Wars Action Figure collecting to only The Vintage Collection figures that are from the original trilogy. I have made this decision primarily due to the cost of these things - they are now around $10 a piece!

My focus where this is concerned is now on the figures, and I mean ALL of the figures, that appeared on screen in the original trilogy, the ones that thrilled, and inspired, when I was a kid, and continue to thrill, and inspire.

The dilemma: On the one hand this is the cheaper option, and on the other hand, I CAN'T FIND THE DANG THINGS!!

I have never had such a hard time finding Star Wars figures. From 1995, when the modern line began, up to now, the figures have been plentiful. You could find most every figure that you wanted without a problem.

Now, however, the figures aren't two per Hasbro shipping case like they used to be. Hasbro is now shipping ONE of each figure per case, and to make matters worse, most stores are only ordering one case at a time! This probably has to o with the fact that Hasbro has THREE Star Wars Figure lines running at the same time - Saga Legends, The Clone Wars Animated Figures, and my favorite - The Vintage Collection.

I think the folks who order Star Wars tous for the major chains are quite confused by all of this, and it's making things difficult for those of us who collect.

It has been many months since I have found anything new, but I will persevere!

When I find my new figures of choice I will shout out from the rafters. I will take new pictures, and hopfully rave about the new sweet stuff that I've found!

Until next time, stay safe, have fun.... and persevere!! :)
