Latest Modern Acquisitions

[monkey_roo]

They were a 2005 Walmart Exclusives - I believe they then re-used them as a pair in the Comic-2-Pack line

 

[monkey_roo]

So the very last figure needed to have a complete basic line arrived today - this was a right bugger to find - had to come from Italy and despite some dodgy packaging (soft envelope) it came OK.

I have a few of the deluxe packs now as well so figure I'll get those as well - the clone trooper 3 packs are a pain to find… anyway 1 Tan Wookie to enjoy, and side by side with his twin.

Got to share this one - it's awesome and now means I have to find the STAP when it comes out next month…. Direct for Hasbro Pulse so no scalper prices either

 

[monkey_roo]

This pair arrived today - been waiting an age for both - lovely jabba and finally all the dinobots in 86 form (not Sw but not worth a new post)

 

[monkey_roo]

one of my biggest collecting regrets was selling these back in the day - I had all 13…. Figure it might take a while to get them back again (mostly because people seem to want stupid money) but I am sure I'll get there…

2 down 11 to go.

This arrived the other day and i love it! The box art looks fab!

The original Jabba playset was one of my favs as a kid and i might be tempted to buy another one of these so i can open it up and get it on the display shelf

 

[monkey_roo]

The Jabba really does pull on the 80's nostalgia string a bit - looks great on the shelf.

 

[kabuchi7]

Yes i agree with you there did you open yours @monkey_roo ?

 

[monkey_roo]

Ha - not a chance - sealed in its bix forever
I just can't open things other than Lego - which does raise a Schrödinger's toy collection question really - is there a toy in there or not???

 

[kabuchi7]

I always open lego too, although i do use the old hairdryer and knife technique

 

[monkey_roo]

Sadly the box is a bit beat up - shipped via Amazon from US….

But cracking model

 

[Cazza]

That's superb!

 

[monkey_roo]

This isn't worth a new thread but found this in a draw after 20+ years - quality - shame it's no use any more…

Found this today at our local Air Ambulance, for £2.50 I couldn't leave it

 

[lejackal]

Grabbed these in Smyths today. The brevity of SW was sad to see, barely a meter or so of shelf space

Picked this up last week at auction. I put a starting bid on it, forgot about the auction and to my surprise i won it! I bought a GW case too which arrived yesterday so im pretty chuffed with how it displays now.

Congrats

Remember last week when I had a rant about modern collecting being utterly wank……..
Well forget all that
Look what I finally managed to pick up.
Been after this set for years. My favourite scene from the whole trilogy, hands down the best modern R2 and the packaging is fantastic
