Hi all,
Martin in/from Norway here.
I have previously bid on vintage figures/vehicles on eBay, but have become disenchanted with that site due to unreliable sellers and their equally unreliable descriptions. There is all too often a mismatch between their classification and my own upon inspection of the arrived item, plus many sellers pass repro accessories off as original without giving it a second thought. Not so on this forum.
Also shipping prices/options tend to be high-end and fairly rigid especially from the US, thus making a purchase of e.g. a vehicle or a handful of figures exceedingly expensive. I am not paying $42 to ship a single, loose ewok over here (true example). I know shipping for a vehicle can be expensive due to size and weight, but there must be more reasonable and equally safe options available. Hopefully the same goes for UK and European sellers/collectors given their relative proximity, and I assume they're in a majority on this forum.
So I am looking for loose, complete C9 (and even C8.5) grade examples of the figures below, as well as a handful of vehicles, all within my ROTJ focus. Will pay market prices for the right ones of course, and hopefully this time shipping won't kill me
Vehicles:
(must not have yellowing, and all mechanisms and electronics should be rust-free and functional. Stickers peeling off I can tolerate
Imperial Shuttle (the big one).
TIE Interceptor
A-wing
Figures (complete with original accessories, with stiff limbs and minimal overall wear i.e. C8,5 minimum but pref C9)
SY SNOOTLES AND THE REBO BAND
Emperor's Royal Guard
Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight Outfit)
Princess Leia Organa (Boushh Disguise) / Boushh
Klaatu (In Skiff Guard Outfit) / Klaatu (Skiff Guard Outfit)
Nikto
Han Solo (In Trench Coat)
Pruneface
Rancor Keeper
Wicket W. Warrick
Lumat
