Figures That I was Lucky Enough To Find In The Wild - Star Wars Saga Legends Luke Skywalker (Snow Speeder Pilot)

A couple summers ago ,I found myself wanting to bolster my contemporary Star Wars collection with a sorely needed Luke Skywalker figure.All I had was 5 bucks In my pocket and while I knew that 5 Below always had a nice variation of 5 dollar figures to choose from,It was way too far and out of my way.So I hit up our local Marshall's,a clothing store with a small toy section that always carried  clearanced action figures.It's where I picked up most of my G.I. Joe Rise Of Cobra  figures,for about 3 bucks a piece.Of course I wasn't expecting to find Star Wars figures there,let alone any Luke Skywalker's. In fact I was open to snagging up whatever I found because  frankly,I was jonesing for any kind of action figure ..action.I let out a resounding "Fuck Yeah!" when I saw this Luke Skywalker Snow Speeder Pilot figure on clearance for about 3 bucks and change!My Jedi instincts paid off .Now It was off to the checkout counter to press my luck and  see If I could use my Jedi powers of persuasion to convince the clerk to let me walk out without paying.It worked,but I am an honorable Jedi,so I left three crumpled up dollar bills and some change on the counter before leaving.With a wave of my hand the exit doors opened,but that had little to do with the force,the doors just had a motion sensor.Saga Legends Snow Speeder  Luke  Is a great figure.The removable  plus highly detailed helmet ,equip - able Light Saber  and grappling hook accessory make this one of my favorite figures In my collection.Luckily,I was able to find It on the cheap as he Is selling anywhere from 10 to 20 bucks on Ebay and Amazon.com.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
