Because it makes me happy to boast of my good fortune, here's the land raider I got for $10.

A section of tread is missing, but its one of the parts tucked up into the body, so I think I can make a press mold to replace it without too much work. I'll try that before I buy a "side sections and treads" lot on eBay for $17... not that a $30 land raider stops being a ridiculously good deal.
And you can't tell it from this picture, but the guy who sold it to me has done a lot of work to ornament it with censors and scrolls and purity seals. It's really very good. This is the same guy who sold me a $5 beat up land raider a year ago, which I made the mistake of trading away. This one is a beautiful basis for painting and will never leave my collection.
