Before that, I had found a Starduster mint loose complete for 7$ at a convention at the turn of year 2000 when I was back into the Joe collecting hobby  .

That was not the story I heard...

Funny that I had to log back when I saw this...

Explain please, as I have told the story several times already.

Wasn't Robert that "forced you" to buy it? Even that, you put the fig back on the table and Robert put it back in your hands saying you had to get it NOW! Then you gave up.

How many timbits should I get for refreshing your old memories?  :wink:

Martin, PM sent.

Answer to your question:  Let Joe Canuck Democracy take care of the  :timbits:

You got the rest of the story figured out because you probably heard it from the right people but the fact remains that YOU weren't at the Holiday Inn Crown Plaza on that day. Robert and I were. I didn't even know you then.

And for the record I did find Starduster. What is before I knew his name was Starduster or because my friend told me about it? here's a hint: On that specific day, my friend told me to go check out this dealer that had Joe figures. I went to the dealer and I found this turquoise figure in a batch of 7$ figures that looked like a green shirt and had a black star and vizor on the helmet. I looked at and I didn't know who it was, I was going to put it back. And then Robert like a vigilante and best friend, came to the rescue. So who found Starduster in the end?

[bandonov]

+1 for both of you... Wow, That was some story 

[Realboss]

Now if only a Starduster can fall into my lap.

I've honestly never had any luck with garage sales or flea markets when it comes to Joes.  One time back in the day I did score it big with a garage sale FULL of Transformers that were all in almost perfect shape.  That was HUGE because I got to fill some big holes in my TF collection for good prices...back when there was no such thing as the Internet to find out-of-production stuff!

I use to work at a comic shop called "Titans of Tomorrow" back in the 90's. Before Hasbro brought back Star Wars I could see a growing interest in Star Wars, so we started to buy up old Star Wars collections and selling them off. One day a guy brought in a bunch of Star Wars toys that were middle of the road for value. I think we bought the stuff but didn't really need any of it at the time. The one thing he had made me laugh, so I bought it off him for 25 cents. It was a wind up R2D2.

It was this one:

I sold it years later on ebay for a boat load of money. I forget how much, but it was at least $150.00.

That's a very nice catch. I've only seen one in person in my whole life so far.
