Latest Modern Acquisitions

[Russ J]

Thats a great little haul there smiler,did'nt realise there were two differant art designs for the TIE Striker...nice one 8)

Your right on the Rogue One 2 pack sets,i've only ever seen them in Toys R Us,the single figures they seem to be everywhere,but not the 2 pack figures...Smyths don't stock them,The Entertainer don't,Asda,Tesco etc...don't either...strange its not like they are TRU exclusives (as far as I know anyway)....

I've got a couple of new additions...

Naboo Royal Security...

POTF 2 Green Card Luke with T-16 Skyhopper model with Commtech Chip (this is the only figure I have in this line but there are a few more to collect)...

 

[grinchy]

Nice additions mate, i'd never seen them before, particularly like the Luke figure, that sky hopper model is cool

Don't normally have the opportunity to post in here but received a wonderful Sideshow Collectible figure for my birthday today - perfect for my focus and couldn't be more pleased with him.

 

[robpmarsh]

Wow...that's nice!

Congrats!!!

 

[TRILOGY COLLECTOR]

Super nice figures and happy birthday too

 

[Sinniberg]

I am slowly getting more and more sucked in by these 6'figures.

When I started collecting last year I said to myself that it would just be the ones I really liked but it looks as if this is going to be another one :lol: .

Happy birthday mate And what an awesome gift! Of course, you now need one to rip out of the box. And an AT-AT. To scale.....

The back-drop to this photo is hardly a new acquisition. It came with a mixed lot of sundry from Vectis about a year ago, but only just rediscovered it and put it together. Whether folks love or hate the toy line from mid to late 90s I'm finding they're giving me a bigger and bigger nostalgia kick. I remember eating crisps like a demon (wasn't hard, I was a student and crisps, a pint and a packet of pork scratchings was considered a 3 course meal) to try and collect them all. Love this 3d backdrop. If only I had the rest of the stand to go with it! Excuse the washed out colours. It's bright and strong in real life. What also isn't apparent from the photo is that the text is in the background whilst the images stand proud in the foreground.

The items in the foreground are defo new acquisitions. the TT and Luke arrived from the US a week or so ago and the Wampa from Andy week before last. I missed out on a coloured first shot on FB this week for an incredibly generous $250. C'est la vie. I seem to have stumbled on a new sub-theme in my modern sub-theme: Hoth pre-prod.

Brilliant pick ups scruffy, I remember getting through loads of crisps looking for the discs, took forever which is of course why they did it, lol
Nice hoth preproduction stuff, I like seeing different stages in the production of these figures, very cool

Got a couple of nice pickups today, the poe dameron set is reduced at argos to £8.99, box isn't perfect and this was the best of 3 they sent up, it'll do for me, the bagged bossk figures and coin on the easel are from lejackal

New figure today picked up at tesco. I didn't realise there were already two different versions of jyn erso
I like the figures but not a fan of the oversized accessories.

 

[Michael Sith]

Rare foray into modern for me....

Black series Proto Fett to go with my other fett and a Star killer base Kylo Ren which I've picked up for my Lad.

 

[grinchy]

Hey smiler, welcome to the boards! I wasn't aware that there were already two versions of jyn out, must be the second wave of figures.

Great scores mike, that proto fett is a beauty, the kylo is cool to, are you getting the rey figure with snowy base that goes with that one?

Picked up another two pieces...

Another addition to my ROTS line...

Another one of the Green card with commtech chip figures...

Cheers Grinchy!

I have collected vintage star wars figures on and off over the years, collected, sold, collected, sold, now collecting to keep and to get as complete of a vintage collection as I can afford now I can afford to buy all the ones my parents couldn't.
I love these new figures for the new films because of how they are like the vintage figures. Multiple points of articulation is great but I am kind of a retro guy.
I collect a few lines of vintage figures including the black hole and buck rogers which have great articulation! I have an almost complete collection of modern tron figures aswell as vintage.
They all bring me happy memories!

On the rogue one front. I have the 2 figure packs in Debenham today. Was very tempted as they have the imperial figures in them but at 18 quid a pack I just thought they were too expensive. But if anyone wants to know who stocks them, head down to Debenham!
Tesco now have a buy 3 for the price of two on their entire star wars range.

Finally picked up something modern for the Han focus

 

[TRILOGY COLLECTOR]

Loving all the Han Solo toys ----

also head up on cinema ticket release of rogue one @ midnight

 

[smiler289]

New recruits for the collection today from tesco. I believe the box set is an khols exclusive in the USA. It was £22.46. The force awakens figures are going for £5.56 and the rogue one figures are still at £6.75.

 

[TRILOGY COLLECTOR]

Loving that four figure set ---I think it is a target exclusive in the USA - is it out in the UK now too ?

Popped in to TRU earlier to get some Xmas prezzies for our niece.... Ended up walking out with the 6" Scale TIE Fighter as well..

For the size, and price I couldn't pass it by.

This is a big beast of a toy,I don't collect the 6" black series stuff but I've been very tempted by this myself and at the price TRU have got it for atm it's a steal 8)
