You are correct, sir! I forgot about the Harbert Jawa saying that. Italian 'capo' meaning 'captain'.

Jawa, never, but Vader, yes. More or less. http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=55127

http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=38499 This display helps reinforce the fact that Jawa, Tusken Raider, and Death Squad Commander were essentially their own wave of the original 12. As seen in the catalog image, these 3 were lagging in the design phase when that 12-figures...

The conceptual mock-up figures are discussed in Plastic Galaxy so I'd highly recommend owning that DVD. The catalog photo you show here is a mix of Kenner versions plus mock-ups. There are more shown here, including all of the conceptual mock-ups, not just the final 3...

There's no way to really know because our perception is skewed by what we see now. Basing it off of figures made continuously during the time period is probably the best way (Vader, Chewie, etc...) But as collectors/fans have been buying up vintage figures, more often than not they haven't...

Great research and very thorough! Loved it! -chris

Things traded above retail prices since the very beginning. Of course the scale was different, but there were aftermarket prices that were above retail. Even in the 70's people were buying Star Wars as an investment and somewhere on YouTube there's an old newscast about it. And this is...

Here's a bit more detail about the vintage Gargan: http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=48118 http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=48903

http://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Technical-Issues/how-do-i-revise-in-bulk-to-change-handling-time/qaq-p/4520257 My guess is that if you change your handling time to 5 or 10 days that the ship date will be changed accordingly. Handy to do it in bulk like this and catch all listings at once...

I too had never heard of this one. I'm not saying it'll happen quickly, but I can add these images to theswca entry if you guys are alright with that. If you want credit just let me know your full names. :) -chris

I'd say it is a short shot and while that term gets bandied about quite a bit, this looks like a really good example of it. You can see that the foot is definitely "clubbed" which is a classic indication of this problem because the plastic flows from the hip to the toe so when it's a short...

In the early 90's, as new products were beginning to be released into the marketplace, it was important to start making a distinction so that people knew you were talking about the 70's and 80's items, not the 1993 item. Heck, at that time things like West End Games weren't thought of as part...

They look like BILLY cases with MOREBO doors. I'd go the extra step of replacing the wood shelves with glass which IKEA sells specifically for BILLY cases. When you use one as a corner unit, it cannot have a door installed, but that's a small price to pay. Personally I like IKEA's INREDA...

One huge problem I see in all of this is that these pieces have traded hands many times, internationally, making the current owners far removed from the original source. And the highest price paid is at the end of that line so the amount Toni would be responsible for, at best, is the original...

Hi Folks, First, I want to commend you all for the great work done on this so far. I've been behind on this thread since day one and it's been challenging to keep up with, but I finally managed to string together some thoughts that I recently posted on RebelScum and wanted to share here as...
