Let me know what you think of my haul. What else did you see in the video that caught your eye?
Thanks for watching! :)

Thanks everyone!

I'm just so envious of collectors in the US with the amount of SW toys and sales around places over there! To toy hunt in the US is definitely on the bucket list!! Great score, RWD!
Thanks man! You’re in NZ right? I do love that we have so many collectors around here.
@RedWagonDioramas Yes, all the way down here in NZ and living a collector/maker's life vicariously through you and others! 🤣🤣
Love the content... looking forward to more awesome finds and deals, RWD!
Kinda funny also is that one of the places I’d really like to visit on the whole planet is NZ.
I’m in the uk! Same as you mate! These us prices are so cheap!!!
My wife’s Aunt lives on Nahant so I will have to check this place out when we go for a visit 😉
Nice, yes, definitely worth a visit!
That store looks like a super fun place. I don't think we have a store like that (jam-packed with figures and playsets) in the entire Atlanta area. There is a place about 4 miles from me called Galactic Quest - they have older figures, but it's more of a comic shop. Awesome haul though. Love the sandcrawler and the Temple Guard is pretty sweet! Thanks for sharing, David!
Thanks Matt. I’m surprised to hear that about your area. We actually have a lot of really good shops here in new England. You’ll have to come sightseeing some time. Yes the temple guard was a surprise find too. Pretty cool!
Fantastic store. It really looked like collectors had rummaged through the cases. Congrats on your pickups. I think you did well on the sandcrawler.
Thanks Mike. I’m very happy with it. It will display nicely. Now I just need to hunt down the elevator, stairs and floor panel.
There was a lot of star wars stuff there i have never seen before super cool place .
Me too actually. I liked looking at all the clone wars vehicles from the early-mid 2000s. It's pretty incredible to realize how much star wars product has been made.
I didn't realise on your IG post the "jawa car" was incomplete. I also didnt realise a minty "jawa motor" was pushing a grand either!! 😮 Read the comments here and a couple of people have agreed you did well, so glad you did. Battery cover shouldn't be too hard to fashion yourself with a bit of perspex/paint to at least cover the hole and you can probably get 3d printed parts as well. The main point is it will display nicely regardless, especially with some jawas. Excellent haul, and what a shop!
Thanks David. Yes, the sandcrawler will display nicely with my collection just as it is. Over time I’ll try to hunt down the missing pieces. There are 3d printed parts available too, but I’ll wait a while before trying that path. Got to figure out how to display it first.
@@RedWagonDioramas Yes, I've got that problem as well with the parts. I have a nice condition X-Wing needing a canopy and 3 guns. My Rebel transport slug carry case needs a second gun for the removable platform and that dastardly black hatch from the bottom. I also inherited the big, silver Naboo ship/playset that's missing a bit of a lift? and one of the silver rear "spikes" which unfortunately is very noticeable. These are ankle level priorities on a collecting list starting at my forehead!! However I do want to sort them at some point. So the question is expensive vintage or repro/3d parts?....
Nice score on the Sandcrawler!! Thats $300+ all day!
Thanks for confirming that Rick. The other guys thought so too. First time I’ve ever seen one in person actually.
I collect mostly vintage SW but when it came to the Sand Crawler I the new version w no wheels no batteries needed or to worry about and I placed it in a repro vintage style SW Sand Crawler box all for $160 ,it’s from the exact same mold just no remote problems to mess with
I can understand that. Much better price for sure. I saw the recent Disney sandcrawler 2 years ago, but didn't like the colors on it. I actually love my cardboard "Land of the Jawas" playset sandcrawler, and wasn't really looking for anything else. But this opportunity was too good to pass up.
You got a nice representation of that Sandcrawler…I have had it since the 70s, it is complete, working, and in the box…and I never see it😂! You can see it every day, set up a display, and it will be awesome…trust me…nice job!
Thanks man, really appreciate that. I’ll do a follow up video when I get it incorporated into the display shelves.
Dont worry about what you paid for that jawa sandcrawler. You found one and could get it. Congrats on the score. Even back in 80/81 when that was new, it was quite rare.
Thanks man, I appreciate that. I'm very happy with the sandcrawler find, and it is now on my shelf proudly displayed. Thanks for watching!
Amazing haul. ❤
I agree ;)
The Micro Machines playsets are great, some of the later «head style» playsets were kind of weird, but some were good, like the C-3PO cantina.
I’ll check that out, thanks!
That's a great price for the sand crawler
Thanks I thought so too.
I think $175 for the vintage Sandcrawler in that shape is a good deal.
Thanks man, I appreciate you sharing that. I feel good about the purchase.
@@RedWagonDioramasI think you should. I’d just get the missing pieces 3d printed if you want them. Don’t think you’ll ever display in a way that needs the battery cover right?
Mike F. If you’re reading this comment, it was great meeting you, and thanks for the fun conversation. I tried to respond to you on Facebook but could not get through.
Cool video!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man!
Appreciate the sub and the comments :)
@@RedWagonDioramas you're welcome!!!!!
30-100 for a new 6 inch figure 😢 to expensive to collect 😂 but it cool
Yes, the prices have really crept up on the 6" figures. To be fair that $100 Triple Zero droid figure is one of the more rare ones in the line, hence the $100 price. Very few black series figures get that expensive.
Hi, I just subbed to your channel.
Awesome thank you!
@@RedWagonDioramas you're welcome anytime!!!!!
I've learned in over two decades of marriage that it's not about how compelling the idiots at the store are, it's about if your wife will agree with your logic when you bring it home.
Shh she doesn’t know yet!
@@RedWagonDioramas I won't tell, but I gotta be honest, she's a pretty sharp cookie. Remember that one time we let your ginormous snapping turtle loose and he nearly killed the cat? She wasn't even in the room and she knew what we were doing.
I forgot about that Rob! Cats truly do have lightning fast reflexes. Thanks for reminding me of that crazy memory!
@@RedWagonDioramas I've heard that cats have a reaction speed that is few milliseconds faster than most predators can strike. That's one of the reasons they're generally apex predators and how your kitty survived. I don't think everyone knows how wicked fast a snapping turtle can be.
Having had more than a few snapping turtle encounters in my life, this sounds like an interesting story lol
You paid too much. You should have waited and paid more for a complete working one.
Honestly, I do not have the budget for a complete one, and I like to display loose in diorama type displays, so this is going to be perfect for me. Thanks for the opinion though. Someday maybe I'll get one complete that I can drive around.
Why don't you have a new england accent?
Because I grew up in Alaska!
You lost me when u said marvel. Smfh
Well, I do quite enjoy Marvel legends too!
