One of the most sought after carded figures in the Original Kenner Collection has found its way to eBay, or so you'd think. Follow this link to check out the
carded Power Of The Force Yak Face, and note that the price is the result of bids and not a high starting bid.
Unfortunately, it is a fake. At close look it is clearly a custom card. If you are one of the 27 current bidders,
retract your bid now!

When it comes to the Original Kenner Collection, some vehicles are much tougher to come across than and that's the case with the Radio Controlled Jawa Sandcrawler, but if you think the US version is tough to find, we've got news for you. The Canadian version came out in 1980 and had an very small production run, all of which had
The Empire Strikes Back logo. Rarer still is the Canadian Special Offer version which came with two carded Jawas.
Follow this link to check it out.

On sale this week at Walgreens stores: Star Wars figures are Buy-1-Get-1-Free! The normal price per figure is $11.49, breaking each figure down to $5.75 (before tax)...which is still a pretty good deal. Of course, who knows what the selection will be like?

While you do still see point of purchase action figure display bins and hanging signs from time to time (like right now actually...), they are all an important part of the history of the Original Kenner Collection. In the US, Kenner produced five different display bins for the
Star Wars figures between 1978-79. Follow this link to check out one of the
1978 12 Back bin headers.

Fact: Even if it were a mint on mint card vintage Prune Face, it is still wouldn't really be an overly desired collectible. Put one up on eBay for $9,999.99, throw in a crease and a yellow blister and you've got yourself an entry in the
eBay Today Totally Ridiculous Hall Of Fame. For a gits and shiggles, check it out but be mindful of the small print. The star case isn't included!
