Ok, I'll play. This is something I seldom do. There are a variety of pieces I can't or don't feel 100% comfortable posting so I hope you understand. Here's my top 5 Scout pieces.

*Photo-art for the front of the Speeder Bike box (1-of-a-kind)
*Proof card for the POTF cardback (2 square corners and a punch)
*Copper (or brass??) mold for the head/torso of the articulated Polish bootleg line. The same mold was used for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Generation bootlegs so every single Polish bootleg came from this one mold. (1-of-a-kind)
*Protomolded figure (only one known)
*Bagged sample (1 of 2 known) Macao variant for all you variant collectors

This was a staged shot so, no, they are not usually displayed on my bar.

Hello,

Wow, many great pieces in this thread. Thanks for sharing.

This is my first post, I have been lurking for some time, but thought it would be fun to join. It seems
to be a great forum.

My top five vintage items for the moment (more based on emotion then sorted by rarity):

Tri-Logo: Luke Skywalker (X-Wing Pilot) ("PBP-figure") - Probably my favorite MOC, really like the
PBP variant and the "pose" is pretty cool.

Bilogo box: SpeederBike MISB w/ swedish sticker - When I started to collect Star Wars vintage (1999), I got my hands
on the shipping box + 14 Speederbikes. I only got two left and for me they mark the beginning of my collection.

Princess Leia Organa 12bk Cromalin - I´m hooked on the 12 back figures

ROTJ 77A Luke Skywalker (Gunner Picture) - One of my latest acquisitions, I like the photo variantion and even
if I doesn´t collect AFA graded stuff actively. It happens.

Micro: Hoth Wampa Cave MISB - started to collect Micro stuff for some years ago. Stopped half way, but couldn´t get
rid of this little piece . Have to say, micro stuff is awesome.

Thanks/

Mike

Hi Mike, very nice way to make an entrance ! Great top five thanks for sharing, that Cromalin is just awesome, did you get it from John Kellerman? (I think I read it on RS)

Ok guys,i've been meaning to do this for ages so here are my top 5 vintage items in no particular order(although the first one is my favorite!)

1) Darth Vaders TIE Fighter.

This is my favorite because for me this represents the most memories i had when i was a kid of all the star wars toys.I always wanted one of these & never got one(ended up with a battle damaged x wing instead!).The one pictured was a right mess when i bought it & i cleaned it up & rebuilt it.

2) Death Star Playset.

I don't remember ever seeing this when i was a kid so when i started collecting i just had to have one.I prefer this version to the palitoy one as there is a lot more you can do playwise compared to the palitoy one.

3) Taiwan Boba Fett.

I bought this little fella for the princely sum of £1.30.The seller had it listed as "star wars figure"& when i discovered it was the taiwan variant in mint condition as was well pleased!

4) Landspeeder(collectors series)

I bought this quite cheap (considering the condition) from a guy in the US.One of the coolest toys in the entire range for me.

5) Land of the Jawa's Playset.

Like the Death Star playset,i don't remember ever seeing this when i was a kid.One of my latest buys,this is the closest i'll get to owning a Sandcrawler!

So thats my top 5 lads,hope you like them!
