Trash compactor and Stan Solo are great. I remember seeing trash compactor in the early days of his productions. Its great to see how far Mark has evolved Trash Compactor. When I first got into purchasing custom figures I found a site that sold them, I won't even waste my time saying the name but I never purchased I just observed for a while. Then I found Stan Solo and without hesitation I purchased my first 4 custom figures. I have continued to purchase from Trash compactor and Stan Solo. Not as much as I would of liked to over the last couple of years due to finance's but I regularly check in with their great additions to the Vintage Kenner Line. Great work guys , best in the business for me .

Hi Michael, first time viewer of your wonderful channell. I was a senior in high school back in 1977 when Star Wars first premiered, and I saw the Ubrikkian 9000/Z001 Landspeeder outside the Cantina on Tatooine. I always wished a toy or model would have been made of this vehicle. I build Sci Fi models and surf KZbin channels on the subject. I few days ago I caught your thumbnail of this video which really caught my attention. And at time stop 6:42 you blew me away with the segment that Stan Solo was offering the Ubriggian vehicle. I went to the website using your link and ordered one from the USA Etsy website right away. It is an amazing toy and I was delighted to learn it is injection molded plastic with professionally printed graphics, and not a 3D printed item. Fantastic professional quality! It's a Birthday present that my wife does not know yet she goto for this year! Your entire video was fantastic. I surfed both the Stan Solo and Trash Compactor websites - amazing stuff! Please have a wonderful Chirstmas (or other appropriate Holiday) and an even better New Year's Day 2023!
