Latest Modern Acquisitions

[grinchy]

Thats really nice of you mate, but i'll see if i can find him out in the wild, Karen found those last two at another home and bargains, this was all they had, i'm thinking they are all mostly gone from those stores now, we are going to go to the nearest smyths store this week see if we get lucky

 

[grinchy]

Well we went on another toy run today and didn't find what i was after, the illusive sandtrooper, smyths didn't have much in the way of figures, just the oversized vader and big xwing, never mind, the hunt continues, lol
Did find this fella nearer to home at TRU, was a tenner reduced to 7.49, which is a bit more like it

Toy runs - bloody great fun

Helluva nice pick up there with the Hoth Stormie, really suits the BS packaging and at a nice price too.

Looks like it's got a good seal as well, few of my BS are drying out but that one looks solid.

 

[grinchy]

Cheers mate, yeah i went looking for one with a decent seal on it, seen some horror stories on facebook where the cards separated, i have a fair few of these now hope they survive longterm

Not exactly a new item i bought but i saw aload of legacy build a droid figures in n Smyth's toys, they had 2 different sets

Been meaning to get over to my local symths but havent had a chance so decide to pull the trigger on the bay.

Got the full set of 12 for £105 shipped which isnt too bad and besides I just had to have them! The packing looks awesome 8)

nice black series, im still waiting for my taun taun its been pre ordered for about 2 month now with forbidden planet

 

[grinchy]

Those black series are ace, the tauntaun looks great! must get one of those
I know this is not really a modern piece, but its a modern repro so thought i'd put it here, my wife bought this for me as a surprise, she knows how much i love troopers and thought this would go well with the collection, from a spanish seller, i'm assuming this is one of the poon replica troopers, looks ok for a bootleg, she didn't pay a lot so thats a bonus, heres the pics

nice black series, im still waiting for my taun taun its been pre ordered for about 2 month now with forbidden planet

Yeah I stopped using Forbidden planet, mad postage charges and orders that just take so long to complete.
Been using my Uncle in the states, zavvi (pre-ordered wave 9 from them for 15 quid each) and kapow toys.
Star action figures are another good one but they do tend to charge a bit more.

Love the series myself and I have even sold some vintage to make room for more

 

[Mr. Bob A. Feet]

^^Yeah I noticed Zavvi doing some of the 6in pretty cheap they have some due in the middle of July at £15 a pop which ain't too bad at all!

 

[grinchy]

Picked up this guy on ebay for £2.90 just liked the look of him, grand moff trachta, hes part of a comic pack with vader,i like the look of him

 

[grinchy]

[grinchy]

Thanks for the link, i'll check it out,
Got an ebay lot in today for my Fett shelf, pleased with it all

 

[grinchy]

me again! lol, this was a last minute bid its an AT-AE walker, and i got it for just under 30 quid, came with five figures, its bloomin huge don't know where i am gonna put it.

 

[db94]

Bloody hell mate - what a monster!

Reminds me of how big a toy the AT AT Walker was back in the day, no one could believe a toy could be so huge. Looks like a serious bit of plastic kit and extra nice with the included figures.

Looks like a family pet on the sofa I'd be scared to move it in case it got angry

 

[Stronghold]
