Rad score on the Max Rebo Vox and loose. It's the thrill of the hunt. Even with the yellowing in the little dings here and there that just makes it yours.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Yea that box is a special one to me because of the journey I’ve gone on with those figures. I have it displayed in a special place in my home. Thanks for watching DMR and I’m always honored to read your comments

[@DavesDimension]

You are THE JEDI DETECTIVE...tracking down all these leads...uncovering all this info for us. You rock!!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks for the kind words Dave!!! All this is fun for me so I’m honored that YOU are enjoying it! I hope all is well my friend :)

Also had trouble telling Lumat and Warok apart. Stripped naked - Warok has exposed teeth - Lumat does not. There's also the slight head tilt for Warok. Looking at the complete figures, Warok has the darker coloured hood.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Yes the head tilt!!! Once you see it you can’t unsee it!! That’s a good one! Thank you for your comment and hanging out to see the video Cyrus! Hope all is well my friend!

[@kevcox5585]

I don't think there's anyone out there putting this amount of content and info about collection the original figures, you really have done your homework man. When I collected the last figures for my collection on ebay in 2007, the best site I found for spotting real weapons against repro etc was Jawa's Armory. I still use it today, I'm sure you are aware of it. That boxed Sy Snoodles band is the best one I've ever seen. I'd definitely get it graded! Great vid man! 👍🏼

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

I haven’t heard of the Jawas Armory! That’s a new one for me, so I’ll HAVE to bookmark it! Thanks for telling me about it! And thanks for your kind worlds Kev, I’m having a lot of fun doing these vids :). Thank YOU for watching brother

[@BlueHToys]

Warok has a head tilt 👍🏻 I got a comment that my Endor leia wore her belt wrong, so beware 😆

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

I didn’t see the head tilt, but now that you pointed it out, I can’t unsee it!!!

[@BlueHToys]

@@thepadawancollectorofficial I'm good for some things 😆

[@ShawnGilmer1]

I found the max rebo band with no mics. Found at estate sale. With Rotj figures ,vehicles, all for price of 150.00

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Wow! You got a GREAT score! That would be a dream haul for me. Thank you for watching the video my friend and I hope all is well :)

[@ShawnGilmer1]

I got really lucky, I left was going home turned around went back to the estatesale. I made them a offer of 150.00. Left phone my number, got in the truck seating at the stop sign they called me, ok will take the offer. YES lol.

[@MartinFutter70]

Brilliant video... who thought buying figures was easy? how hard could it be? Can you just imagine if there was no internet? Some great tips there on what to look out for, enjoyed this one, as I do with all, but the end where you are gushing over boxed band...priceless 👌

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Oh man if there was no internet we would have a lot of mismatched accessories and a ton of repro lol.

[@geekstrong1]

Awesome, I actually remember buying the band at Childworld back in the late 80s and I still own them complete without the box.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

That’s rad that you still have the same ones from your childhood! I always wanted this set, so better late than never lol. Although I probably paid 1000% more than you did lol. Thanks for watching Deano!!! 💪🏽

[@MoparMcNeer]

Accessories really can make it challenging! Picking up complete is by far the best option for saving money. Your Sy Snootles & the Rebo Band is definitely worth having graded. So many of the packages are ripped or crushed on these including my personal sealed one (posted on Twitter today btw, great timing). I was really curious to see your Droopy McCool figure was holding his flute in the package. I have the black flute/silver mics version & the flute is packed in the bubble with the mics. Your is an amazing example! Great pick up Joey.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Mopar!!! Which box version do you have? That’s interesting that it’s packaged differently! Thanks for watching my friend, I hope all is well!

[@ashjp01]

Great video Joey!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thank you Ashley! And thank you for taking the time to watch and to comment, always an honor for me

[@Zepporium]

Outstanding video!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thank you Zeppo! Always an honor to know you are watching! I hope all is well my friend :)

[@highsociety7677]

Great episode! I, too, was astounded at the prices some of these accessories command now when I started collecting last year. Ugh! May be a good future video, top 10 most expensive accessories (figures, vehicles or playsets included). Question for you, I know the max rebo figure is notorious for having his head and arms fade. In fact I dont know that I have seen a loose one yet that wasnt faded. Does your boxed one have fading? If so, makes me think it's purely age based and not sunlight. Anyhow, curious if you've got any more info on that. Thanks, Joey!

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Yes that would be a great episode idea!!! I love that idea and am curious myself to do the research and see which accessories are the most expensive! I have only seen a few examples of Max as a total blue figure and if I ever get the chance to buy one to upgrade my current one, I probably will. The one in my box is slightly better than my display one, but if my display is a c7, then my box is a c8 barely. Thank you for watching and offering that awesome comment HS! Honored

[@xdd_fishlips2333]

Awesome video Joey. I have the same list as u dude. I was lucky I got a Luke Jedi from eBay and I got a black palace blaster ! Which was handy because I needed one for my Lando. I only paid about £20 as well. I love your Rebo band . I think that bend would give it a really low score . I would keep it in the case u got mate. I’m not telling you what to do tho dude lol Keep up the good work Joey. Take care

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Yea I think u are right about the rebo box sending in for a grade. I have a nice acrylic for it:). And you got the palace blaster for 20!!! Wow!!! That’s a rad deal!!! Thanks for watching XDD!!!

[@xdd_fishlips2333]

@@thepadawancollectorofficial yeah I brought a Luke Jedi with blaster and when it came it was the black one . So that was pretty awesome 👏

[@Smw97]

Imperial gunnery are fantastic.i found out that one or two original accessories sink when doing a float test.i wouldn't of known without imperial gunnery

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

I didn’t know that they sink!!! I have to do that test with mine!!! Thanks for that tid bit and for watching Retro!

[@dje1944]

I still got the most blue Max of all Blue Maxes. He's locked up....never to see the light of day. Not into grading....but if I was... he'd be the one.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

I have yet to see a perfect blue max in person! I’ve seen pics but man, if I ever have a chance to snag a perfect blue max… I’d do the same as you and out that bad boy in the dark lol. Thanks for watching Donovan!

[@dje1944]

I paid $100 for an Endor Leia MOC 2 weeks before Carrie died..... Unfortunately after I put her in an acrylic case I dropped it......and her head broke through the bubble!!!!

[@dje1944]

Still displays great....just not MOC anymore...

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Oh man! But what a great tribute to our princess ❤️.

[@JorgeRodriguez-ex5rr]

Thank goodness for reference sites man. Especially for us Padawans. Cheers

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

The ref sites are key bro!!! And I haven’t noticed any uncomfortable heat from the chair at all. I would def recommend it. Thanks for watching Jorge!!

[@teddevita6956]

Check the price of a Leia blaster..Love the vids, easy with hands tho.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Thanks Ted! You can def find a better price for a Leia blaster on most FB groups for sure! Thanks for watching my friend, I hope all is well!

[@Dandy1981]

I'll never look at an ewok the same again. So much complication!! Who would have thought of all this when they designed these back then huh? 🤔.. like the flute? Lol

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

I still get those Ewoks confused and am gullible to any real or fake info people throw my way lol. Thanks for watching Dandy!!!

[@michaelmo6575]

One of my fav things to do is try to guess the prices/values and other info you are about to share before you say it. Anyone else do this? Haha

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Hahaha did you get them right!?!?

[@michaelmo6575]

@@thepadawancollectorofficial I’ve been keeping my fingers on the pulse, and I have to say yes the valuations we both come up with are almost always bang on, within 10-15%. Where ranges are given I find my estimates often squarely in the middle. You do good research, Joey!

[@paulsenior33]

It doesn’t help when people put Luke’s arms through the belt holes of his poncho.

[@thepadawancollectorofficial]

Ah yes I agree! All of those ponchos are difficult to maneuver! Even the smocks on the uggys and the Jawa capes to display right! Thanks for watching Paul!
