    Awesome! That's a beautiful case! Amazing condition for a vinyl case. My childhood one just like that fell apart many years ago. I saved the awesome lid insert art from it and it is now hanging on my wall above my collection shelf. Too bad it is missing the trays, but it's still a great find.
    The AT-AT is a huge find too! Mine is one of the crown jewels of my collection. Still has all of his stickers and chin guns. The mechanism inside still works perfectly. Amazing considering that I played with it outside in the winter many times. I'm very glad that you got such a nice one. The AT-AT is one of those vehicles that has some great stickers but can look fantastic without them. I hope your new one has working mechanisms. Certainly looks great standing there.
    Some of the figures look pretty good. Weird that a couple are missing feet. Maybe his dog chewed on them. :) Great that you got them local and didn't have to order them and then pray the postal system doesn't lose or ruin it.
    You're right! The hunt is totally worth it even if you have to drive a bit to get it. This lot is a big win.

      Super cool that your childhood ATAT still works! That's amazing. I haven't been able to get this one to turn over but I'll keep trying. Either way, I don't actually play with any of this stuff, so if the electronics no longer work, I don't really mind. That's not a deal breaker for me as this collection is just for display purposes. I also don't buy anything that I don't see in person. Too many jokers out there and scam artists.

      @@GQJedi Yes, I'm really glad that it does. Now and then, I put batteries in it and fire it up just for fun. I like looking at my collection for the artwork of it and the memories, but sometimes, it's fun to mess around with it. I wouldn't drag it outside now, because it's getting to be pretty old as far as toys go, but playing with it in snow drifts in front of our house was a lot of fun back in the day.
      A while back, I was talking with a friend about our collections and he asked if I had any figurines like those from Diamond Select for example. I said I liked the look of them in stores, but I preferred the action figures because I enjoy occasionally rearranging them and posing them in different ways with different accessories. Can't do that with statues.
      I don't blame you for preferring to buy in person. I try to and I'm lucky to have several hobby and toy stores here in Las Vegas, but sometimes, I can't find what I want in person, especially not at the budget I try to stick to, so I wind up buying online. I try to stick with buying on Ebay or trusted sellers on FB groups who will let me return things.

    You had me at "chin guns"! Hahaha. As Han would say, "Never tell me the odds". Despite the rather common figures, this is a fantastic pickup nonetheless & even better that there were a couple upgrades for you too.
    Always love seeing your local pickups, you're right on it every time. Sounds like the deal was a good one, you definitely got lucky.
    Another fun video & great local find.

    Love my ESB AT-AT, AT-ST, and Snowspeeder. All of them work great and are in their original boxes. I've slowly, but surely been collecting Kenner stuff. My favorite so far is the ESB Millennium Falcon and ROTJ Imperial Shuttle. They are beautiful! And the boxes are pristine. Great haul my friend!

      Love the Kenner boxes. You need display space for those and sadly I don’t have it so I don’t collect them. Cheers!

    Nice one with the chin guns, my childhood one luckily still has them on. How about the bulb cover for the light bulb? That's another common part that's missing alot of the time.

    • @GQJedi

      So true. This one has bulb but no cover.
