Latest Modern Acquisitions

Really evocative diorama there Escapist, nice one.

Thank you Q. Since seeing new figures in Asda I have flitted back to modern collecting for a bit it would seem!!
 
Heads up, TK Maxx had the Ewok 5 pack (with Kneesa!) for £14.99. Lots of reports of this showing up at every shop!! I found three today, though I only bought one! (the temptation was there to buy two packs for an Ewok army).
 
Bastard! I'm off away to London for the weekend in half an hour so by the time i get to Maxx in Grimsby they will be gone! Mind you our shops are that **** theyve prob never even heard of SW and the latest thing i saw in there was a jar jar binks moneybox :lol:

PS Don't talk ewok in the vintage section, be warned and be afraid mate! :)

Haha yeah not much love for Ewoks... I now have 23 of the modern ones. I think that's all of them! Just after Teek from the Ewok films. And they are releasing two new ones with a new catapult in the Summer!
 
Nice addition to my vintage/modern collection

I am using my Hoth Scout Walker to match the vintage - there is a brand new Endor Walker sealed in the box if anyone wants it?
Cheers
Colin.
 
Opted to take a short break from vintage after getting some of Vintage Collection figures from Asda recently. Now I have fallen back in love with modern. These came this week courtesy of Chewbaccadave, who heard my pleas for a Jabba's Court Denizens set... and so much more...

I'll take some decent shots of my set up soon, but for now here's Bubo in his new home with his new loving owner....

That loose display is getting better and better by the minute mate. I've got that Denizens set but i aint got the gonads to take them off the card :)

Haha I think loose Denizens are worth the same as carded!! I'd never do it to a vintage piece but the modern deserve to be played with! Nearly got every Jabba's palace goon from the modern selection. Just need three more and they are pretty much all from the Legacy Collection. Which are a bitch to find over here it would seem.
 
Giran and Nikto Gunner from the Legacy line for Jabba's palace, but the hardest one to get (at a good price at least) is BG-J38, which was the Build A Droid for the last wave of the Legacy collection.

He's on the bay but at an absolute fortune..... He's a 'blink and you'll miss it' droid visible in one shot of ROTJ. Still looks bad-ass though....

Also after Hrchek Kal Fas for the Cantina and I'm pretty much done with Cantina characters too!
 
You don't know how many years i've been after a TC-14! Finally got it from the US and including shipping costs it still worked out cheaper than i could find it for on UK Ebay!

Nice haul there. Have a few of these but looking to complete my Jabba's Palace.

Managed to get Ewok 5 pack from TK Maxx as well as AT-ST crew and 2 pack Ewok. Prefer the at-st crew on the box photo though......curse you product may vary!
 
Just spent the week in EuroDisney, not as much SW stuff as i might have thought, but enough. picked up the Ewok 5 pack for the little one (Back off haters there's nothing wrong with an Ewok :)) although the price was rubbish, there were a few other bits but I found these European versions of two old parady two packs, well they have french on the back but other than that they are the same as the older US versions, the only major difference is they appear to be marketed as a set of two and as they were only 10 Euro's each i figured why not.

Awesome stuff! Going there in two months and my son loves the Disney crossover figures so will save a bit extra!!!

Have you seen the Cars inspired Star Wars die casts? Coming out in the US park for the SW Weekends. I'm a bit in love with them!

Very cool. Might have to keep an eye out :)

They had almost all of serise 2 - 5 of the Parady/crossover figures as well as a fair few Hasbro Vintage sets, ewoks and Endor stuff mostly. The build your own saber station was fun as well. Enjoy the trip.
