Hot Wheels: Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder

 Once again the 99 cents stores comes through! One dollar for this really cool mini version of Luke's Landspeeder. I love it! I was never able to get the die cast version from the 70's, which totally bums me out, but this is almost as good. Almost.
 Very nice detail, down to the weathering. Coolness!!

The Star Wars Collection Tusken Raider (Female with Tusken Child)

 I don't normal collect figures from the prequel movies but I saw this at Book Off in 2018 for a low price and decided to get it. I decided to collect this one because I figure this is part of the Tusken Raider characters and it's a female so it should be added to the male Tuskens.  That reasoning could be applied to any of the figures! Hey, I got it for a price lower than the original retail! How could I pass that up???
 On the back:
Also known as Sand People, these dangerous savages live in the rocky Jundland Wastes on the planet Tatooine. The Tusken Raiders engage in an inevitable confrontation with Anakin Skywalker after he tries to rescue his mother from their camp.
 It's a nice looking figure. It's not much on articulation so mostly it is good for display.

 Very interesting attire.

Star Wars 1000 Puzzle

 These puzzles have some great Star Wars art.

 The art is quite beautiful.
One of these days I will have enough space to actually do the puzzles. Sigh.

Vintage Klaatu (in Skiff Guard Outfit) Figure

 I got the Klaatu on the right in 1984. Of course, back in the day I opened all of the figures. I was young and didn't think about the monetary value of the figures, only the personal value. I started buying more lots of figures and one of the lots had the Klaatu on the left without a weapon. Sometime in 2017 I decided to purchase a carded Klaatu because the price was not too bad. I wanted to buy more carded figures the prices just became too ridiculous.



Having the original price sticker just makes be cringe when I think about how much I paid for this carded figures. LOL!!!

 The card on the left is my original from the 80's.

    The Power of the Force 2 Electronic Power FX Obi-Wan Kenobi

     This figure came out in 1997. It's pretty cool that it has the electronic feature to allow the lightsaber to light up. The problem is that the battery compartment makes the figure look very bulky. Put Ben on the peg and use the lever to move him on the base. Cut out the image of the Death Star ship yard for a nice back ground. This connects to the Darth Vader Power FX for a very dramatic display. My Darth is still in the package. I haven't decided to open it...yet;-)

    Luke's T-16 Skyhopper Vehicle

     This toy came out in 1996. I got it sometime in 2015 because this is a part of Star Wars and was never made in the 80's. I was crazy to skip over this when it first came out. Good thing I got this at a good price.

     A push of a button and this cannon shoots!



     So cool that it's basically two ships in one. Great design.

    What does this symbol mean???
