Hey guys, I cannot keep up with this thread, so once again I can only say: Great pickups everybody.
@snaggletooth: Thanks and no, most of the army builders are the same, for example most of the Boushh army builders are No COOs which seem to be the most common, but I don't mind.
I don't have enough time to take separate pics currently and am a little lazy taking pics too, so today you'll get another group shot of my latest additions.
But first allow me to tell you about 3 items I purchased that are not pictured: I went to Toys R Us with my son yesterday and there they had the Endor AT-AT Exclusive editions which come in a vintage style box. I already saw those there last week for 170 Euro, but they currently have a special offer for them: 130 Euro and I just couldn't resist. So I bought 2 of them, one is already unboxed and assembled (it's gorgeous, if you haven't seen it head over to RS and check it out). And I also bought another item which my son really hates me for, because he was wishing for it since the day it came out, but it is just too expensive to give to a lil kiddo and yesterday I somehow snapped and then it just happened (that's the excuse I told the wifey
), I just had to... Got myself a Lego Death Star. :-O I'm not too keen on Lego SW tbh, but the Death Star is just so great...
But enough Jibba jabba about new stuff, let's take a look at the latest vintage additions:
It took me about 25 years to finally own a Y-Wing! As a child I had a lot of SW stuff, but I wished so hard for a B-Wing, Rancor and Y-Wing, but never got any of them. The Y-Wing was the last of those "most wanted" vehicles I wanted to get. This one wasn't cheap, it is unused (not MISB) and it seems to be a kind of rare version (I hope) with an Italian sticker on it. Anyhow, it's cool and I like it. Found this one on Facebook.
Finally got another 2 of my most beloved childhood figures: Han Solo Carbonite (find him rather boring today
) and EV-9D9 (he is still cool to me). Are all EV-9D9s heads a
little wobbly or is it just mine??? Don't remember anymore. From the Last 17 I am no only missing a Warok and a weapon for my A-Wing Pilot!
The Squid Head is a Lili Ledy from sandpersonsflipflop. Thanks, he looks great beneath my Burgundy Cape Squid Head.
The 2 Salacious Crumb baggies came from Djbighair, thanks DJ!
Of course you cannot see this in the pics, but the Biker Scout blaster is a LL blaster which will go with the LL Biker Scout I bought from Iain 2 weeks ago.
Well, the 6 figures on the right are car boot sale pickups from my parents once again. They would have set me back 24 Euros if my parents wouldn't have been so kind to give them to me for free!
But I am still a little pissed because my parents called me from the car boot sale and they handed over the phone to the seller so I could talk to him and negotiate the prices. He told me all of his figures are at least in good condition, but for example the Tusken Raider is in minty mint condition and one of the Imperial Commanders comes with original gun (and are too in excellent condition). I knew the accessoires were all missing (mostly) and I knew the B-Wing Pilot legs are loose (but I never saw any figure's legs that are loose like this, except on a DSD!!!).
Well, judge for yourself. Does this look like a minty mint Tusken Raider?
And does this look like a original Imperial Commander's gun? (Anybody have an idea about what kind of weapon this is?)
Well, yeah. So pissed that the guy fooled my parents, he knew exactly what he was doing. The Boushh has writings under her feet and one of the Imperial Commander's feet is badly bent and both have paint rubs on their hats. If I had seen them in person I would have taken the Lando Skiff and one of the Imperial Commander's (without weapon!!!), but judging only by phone and having my parents talk with a scammer, this is what I got out of it. Well, but at least the price wasn't that bad. He also had vintage vehicles for sale, all unboxed and not in great shape and asked mad prices for them. For example a loose AT-AT (he had no idea if electronics are working, so I assume they don't) for 150 Euro. *lol*
Well, that's it for tonight, thanks for watching.
the luke variants is so beautiful :wink:
