Nothing anyone hasn't seen before but I just received my small head Han Solo, and he is so cool! Goes nicely with the modern "Big Momma Falcon," too;

Well I am definitely pleasantly surprised! The pictures on eBay made him look a bit more of a beater than he actually is in hand, though he still has some paint loss on the hair and his hands. Other than that he is pretty mint. The limbs aren't very loose, either.

Also, I'm quite happy about the gun. The listing never mentioned it and the picture never showed it so I was happy to find it at the bottom of the package this morning!

I don't have the big head version but I know that if/when I get it, I will much prefer this version.

some great new buys as usual guys. Not seen the new falcon before close-up - looks a good scale

Yeah, it's pretty nice! Very big. But nothing beats the original though.

I am getting there.. Just the actual bastards to get now.

I have a stormtrooper, Vader and Chewbacca on their way now so that is a total of 26 I have.

11 to go.. and you know the ones I need..

Oh and I think I'm getting a Luke X wing (my favourite of all). I can't wait to display it all.

i had one of those bandoliers when i was little. i kept the weapons in the blue boxes, and typical me i lost the weapons box straight away

Today I received some more figures; Luke, Ben, Chewie and a Stormie!

Awesomeness!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Jedi534]

Awesomeness!

I dig your enthusiasm with your growing collection! 8)

 

[DarthSwales]

Thanks mate! I really love these things and I'm enjoying receiving them.

Purchased the ANH Leia from ebay today. She seems to be listed with a Stormie gun for some reason, but because the Stormie that I got today didn't have one, I don't mind.

 

[Capetown]

Some amazing new purchases since I've been gone guys.

Bryan that Imperial Cruiser alone will get you $200 at least. They're not easy to find in unused condition. I never did find one and had to 'settle' for a factory sealed one.

 

[Capetown]

DarthSwales, those pics cracked me up. :lol:

 

[burnsy]

Great photos, love the Falcon cockpit shot.

 

[DarthSwales]

Thanks Capetown and Burnsy!

 

[Wookie-Balls]

Since my last post I've bought loose (complete or completed
Myself)

Luke Bespin
Luke X Wing
Luke Jedi (green sabre)
Luke farmboy
Luke Hoth
Leia poncho
Lando Bespin

Always had a non gay Luke fetish :lol: Think I have all the basic vintage versions again now, Inc blue and green sabre jedis!!!

Oh and Imp Nut - the Raytrooper was an experiment - a company called 'Thats My face .Com" will make a mini version of your swede from 3 digital photos - you can then stick OT on a figure. For our 1st anniversary I was planning on making stormies of the wife and I!!

Finally finished my 12 back run! It's taken 4 months which I think isn't too bad. Here's a group shot:



I aimed for a not mint but displayable set, most have some minor imperfections like bubble dents but there's certainly no beaters in this lot. I also tried to do it for a relatively low set amount of money, which I came quite close to

 

[silver grin]

Nice work Edd. They look great

Still maintain that the original R2 card is the best one of the SW cards. Still can't believe that they replaced him!

 

[Chewie]

4 MONTHS! I been trying to find only one 12 Back in the last 4 months.....Still not found him

It looks really great Edd 8)

and i'm loving those photos from DarthSwales 8)

Great buys guys :wink:
