That is such a great set Jim! Your Max has really good blue color - I have seem many with badly faded limbs. I really want the Max Rebo and piano set!

Cool video! Thank you! I had the silver horn / black mic version of this set, too. A lot of people complain about this set having "no play value," but you get a trio of some of the weirdest aliens ever committed to plastic, and that's cool in my book. The newer Hasbro versions are . . . okay, I guess. The paint's better, I'm just not a fan of the redesigns and the single-pose-only sculpts on most of them. I wish they'd make updated, super-articulated versions of the characters for The Vintage Collection.

There’s a few long legged vintage SW figs that the legs will lean inward ,so I place a small piece of foam in between the legs to prevent that from happening while in storage, Jabba’s palace wouldn’t be complete with out the Rebo Band

Listening to the original song from `1983 it's a must buy. Listening to the song "Jedi Rocks" it's an easy 3 pointer into the trash bin. The song even fits to the figures from the movie Steroids Wars. Cantina Song is still the best there is🎶

Agreed. Williams wrote amazing orchestral melodies, as well as jazz (I would consider both Cantina pieces jazz); but, rock pieces leave much to be desired. Maybe he didn't like rock music and tried to make it as bad as possible, just to make a point? Who knows. Many music professors of his generation thought it was beneath them musically. Yet, his son Joseph would join the top LA session band Toto three years later as their lead singer and is still with them today. He grew up with the Porcaro brothers, David Paich and Steve Lukather - they all went to Grant high school and are not that far apart in age. Paich's dad was an LA composer, just like Williams, and Paich would write the Dune soundtrack in 1984. My point is that John had access to phenomenally versatile rock musicians/songwriters. Toto was still on the high from their best selling album IV, which received 3 grammys. Rock clearly wasn't John's Forte. Relying on his son's friends to write something probably would have sounded a whole lot better.

@@classicalvintagecollector You can tell John Williams' dad, Johnny William's was an influence on his music. John Sr. played with the Raymond Scott Quintette, and they provided the "modern" music for a lot of the Warner Brothers cartoons, including the amazing tune "Powerhouse," which always plays in my head whenever complex machinery is put into motion.

@@classicalvintagecollector I think when Star Wars rereleased in the 90s with their Special Edition, their universe was like that. The 90s had Action Figures that were all on Steroids like Turtles, He-Man, WWF and so on. It's just typically a dumb move to go along the wave. I mean Star Wars was created by being straight anti-mainstream. I don't know what happened to LucasFilms during that part of time. But to me it seemed that LucasArts was already under control by the corporations then. Starting with the Droids Animated Series. To totally depart from the Star Wars Universe and creating something more mainstream. 🤮. Now the Jedi Rocks song is clearly a 90s theme song. Too much soul if you ask me. Jabba holds slaves. Soul would be something that the people behind his back would sing. Not performing in front of him. Imagine Max Rebo playing/rapping a hiphop song. Really doing nobody a favor with stuff like that😂. Now to the figures. LFL should have sticked with the Original Kenner style figures and created one more Toyline like the Vintage Collection. Imagine some younger gentlemen buying the more modern figures while you and me just bought an Episode IV Jabba and a Ronto in Kenner Style. These muscular figures are totally unnecessary. The fact that they have not risen in value shows that living a lie wont bring you further👌

@@JustMe-tm5dc Agreed, again. I wrote a letter to Hasbro in the late 90s expressing my concerns that these latest figures were not movie accurate. Enough people complained that they changed the look of Princess Leia entirely. Most of those power the force 2 figures I didn't keep in my collection.
