Hey folks. Only just registered here, but i was pointed here by a member on the Sideshow Freaks forum.

I am looking to sell a fairly rare piece i picked up about six years ago. It was removed from the box twice. Once to have a look at it when i bought it, and again to take the images posted here. Never displayed by me, and never messed about with the entire time i have owned it. Selling due to just taking up archery and i want to buy a bow.
It is an Episode I Era TOYS R US store-roof-display Vulture Droid. I'd guess it was in stores back in '99 back when TPM was released. No idea how long they stayed, but i bought it from a US seller in 2006
Item is in "good" condition. Not totally mint. A couple of mild scuffs but nothing serious. I can provide pics of the paint scuff marks on request. The item is painted with weathering in any case, and the little scuffs just look like part of that.
This piece is 31" long and 19" wide and comes with three metal eye-bolts to secure metal cables from when it was secured to the roof in the Toys R US store which it came from. In the pictures, the cables are all on the rear of the item(So they don't obscure it), but they can be attached on the front of the body so it can be hung from the ceiling.
Based on wikipedia specs, the craft is between 1/4.5 and 1/5 depending on what sizes you believe for a Vulture droid. I always think a smaller scale makes it look more impressive, so i have always liked to think it's closer to 1/6 for display purposes.
I have included a can of root beer and a Hot Toys Iron Man MKVI in the images just for scale. They are not included in the sale(Unless the offer is spectacular, lol).
Now, the only sale of one of these i can find recently is about a year ago on Ebay, and it went for $440/£272 including shipping.
I'd love to get close to that if i can, but i am entertaining offers for this one. I'm not only hoping to sell, i am hoping to be able to get this to a collector who will really look after it.
Any questions, please email me at [email protected]
