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.
