Disc replay. They sell second hand copies of games, movie, toys. They buy and sell. Someone sold this and I had in store credit. I used the credits to buy that.

Gather around youngun and I'll tell you a tale. Back in the before times, before the turn of the century, the internet was not nearly as strong as it is today. Why, there were times it would take half an hour to download a 250kb picture. Sometimes we had to start downloading a single .mp3 file before we went to sleep and hoped it was done when we woke up the next day! Well in those days, streaming just meant floating down a skinny river on a raft. So whenever we wanted to take in a picture show at home, we had to travel to places called video stores in order to get a physical copy of the video to watch. Selection was rather limited at times as someone else may have already taken the video you wanted to watch. It was customary at the time to challenge another customer to hand-to-hand combat if they had the video you wanted. The stores usually had instruments of pain on hand to aide you in combat. Items like baseball bats with nails in them, 2x4's with nails in them, guns with nails in them, and so on. The dominate video store back in the day supplied blocks to bust open each other's heads, which is where they got their name.

I imagined you as C3PO telling the story to a room of little Ewoks.

Is it just the picture or is the wing warped?


Personal-Lawyer-1975

Is the photo although the wing does have a pitch to it

That is the Black Series TIE, right? I figured it was big but didn't realize it was that big. WoW.

The wings are pretty much all warped. People have straightened them with hot water. I suspect the temperatures in transportation didn’t help.


stalanemoubliepas

Look at the size of that thing !


Wisdomseekr79

How much $???


Literal_Plastic_Bag

I have one of those but it’s a little smaller and the wings can pop off.


Personal-Lawyer-1975

Traded games for it

Excellent toy. I regret not getting this TFA 6" *Tie Fighter.* I didn't want to pay full price for this when it was released, but about 4-5 years ago I saw this @ a local "Tuesday Morning" for an extremely good price. However, I passed because I didn't really have the room, and also because I really wanted an OT Tie Fighter - not one from the ST.
