Strong am I with the Force...
... but not that strong.
Every couple of months I get a Star Wars catalog from Brian's Toys. Even though I prefer to do my action figure hunting in person (or eBay as a last resort), I always enjoy the catalog because it gives me a chance to see how figures are priced in the secondary retail market, and because they have lots of pictures of old toys which you can't get in stores anymore. So, bascially, it's Star Wars action figure porn.
Anyway, the part of the catalog that always blows me away is the "carded vintage" section. As an example:
Vintage SW Darth Vader Telescoping Saber
$20,000??? I could almost buy my own ship for that. Even though I consider myself to be a reasonably serious collector, that is completely unjustifiable. Probably the reason it always in the catalog every month, and never sells. :)
