    The Life and Adventures of an AT-AT...

    So, about two years ago I bought this mint sealed MPC AT-AT model off Ebay.
    It arrived a little damaged, but I was gonna swap the damaged box with my built up and re-wrap it for display, but never got around to it.

    A year later, my buddy sees it and asks if I want to sell it, so I sell it to him.

    He in turn takes it to a flea market and sells it. That guy lists it on Ebay, and guess who didn't realize it was the same kit and bought it back yesterday?

    Wasn't til the end of the auction that I saw the location was my hometown.

    Yep, I bought back my own model. How bizarre is that?

            I originally bought it for $20 but paid shipping. I sold it for $20. This time I won it for $15 but am picking it up, so I broke even exactly. CRAZY.

                    I think you should sell it again. To a guy in Japan. And see if it finds its way back to you again.
                    If it does, find a good exorcist.

                        Old Enyawd72 had troubles of his own
                        He had a gray AT-AT which wouldn't leave its home;
                        He tried and he tried to give the AT-AT away,
                        He gave it to a man goin' far, far away.

                        But the AT-AT came back the very next day,
                        The AT-AT came back, we thought he was a goner
                        But the AT-AT came back; it just couldn't stay away.

                              If you love something set it free, if it comes back it was meant to be.
