[QUOTE="monkey_roo, post: 173216, member: 2414"] OK a very rare post in the modern aquisitions area. Been off work for a little bit but came into the office today to find the two latest Star Tours Disney Parody waves waiting on my desk, so here we are then: Series 5 This is a great run with some fantastic additions. two first appearances and for once no Mickey Mouse Stitch as Grievous is lovely Donald as Commander Cody is a great figure, albeit very similar to the shadow trooper and storm trooper we have seen before Huey, Dewey and Louis as Jawas is truly great and with the broken droid parts as extras this is a cracking little set and the first time we have seen these little guys in the run Goofy as Cad Bane is perfect, the red eyes are brilliant and the stand out figure is Daisy Duck as Aurra Sing, great figure and a first appearance for the lady duck. Series 6 This has one first appearance in the run (and it is a cracker) but overall with three re-tooled versions of previously seen figures this line is a little below the standard set and was clearly an Episode I promo thing. Minnie Mouse as Amidala, A nice figure but almost similar to the series 2 figure, really only the new head piece is different Donald as Darth Maul, this is a really nice figure but again it is an update of the series 2 figure, we do get a re sculpted face and a nice cloth cape with this one though Stitch as Yoda, the figure is almost identical to the series 2 figure but the addition of his Jedi council seat and a cane make the difference this time out Mickey as Anakin, while there was an Anakin Mickey in serise 2 it was one based on his Episode 2 appearance, this one is based on his 10 year old appearance in Episode I so is a new figure, it is nice enough and the accessories are good but not a stand out addition really Pluto as R2-D2, this is the real gem in the set, a first appearance for Pluto and for R2 in the run and it is great, totally makes up for the re-tooled figures by having this one in the set. For me these are must buys every year (having all the figures ever made in this line, including the Pirates of the Caribbean and Indian Jones ones...) and if you love some humor in your modern figures these can't be beaten and are a great example of what is good about modern SW figure production.
