I have a strange request for the members of this board. As many of you know I am a huge Star Wars fan. While I am attempting to complete my vintage collection a new project, or interest, has come along. I have decided to create my first diorama. I have chosen the Emperor’s arrival at the Death Star from Return of the Jedi.
The key ingredient for this will be tons of Imperial troops. From my childhood I already had many Stormtroopers, but I really want this to be an impressive project. So I have set a goal that I can only see in my mind, which means that I’m not sure how many figures I will need. Here’s where you can help.
I have been searching ebay for good deals (and I’ve been pretty lucky) and I’ve tried flea markets, antique stores, and hobby shops in my area. I’m running out of places to look! So the next time you go into a flea market or toy/hobby shop please look for VINTAGE Imperial figures. I prefer not to spend more then $5 per figure. In fact $2-$3 is ideal. They do not need to have their weapons or be in mint condition. Please email me, or post here, if you may be able to help me.
Here are the VINTAGE figures I am looking for…
AT-AT Driver - Example Here
AT-ST Driver - Example Here
Biker Scout - Example Here
Emperor’s Royal Guard - Example Here
Imperial Dignitary - Example Here
Imperial Gunner - Example Here
Stormtrooper - Example Here
Stormtrooper (Hoth Battle Gear) - Example Here
TIE Fighter Pilot - Example Here
Please remember these figures do not need to be mint, or have their weapon. But they need to be in good enough condition that they wouldn’t look terrible as part of a large group (i.e., a Stormtrooper painted red, or a AT-AT driver with a his face paint scraped off).
I will post a picture of the current “army” as soon as possible.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
And I know I could add new figures, but I want it to be all VINTAGE figures.
VINTAGE ONLY!
