Bit more…

Few more figures and a nice x-wing

 

[Mini99]

Nice X Wing, sealed?

 

[monkey_roo]

Sadly x-wing is not sealed - for some reason the previous owner opened up the box but didn't actually unpack the fighter etc. so nice and minty.
I suspect in a few years when i sort out how to display all this, I will take out the box and sit it in front of box - i have a falcon and AT-AT coming that look in good nick but have been out the boxes as well. Want to find a snowspeeder and a tie fighter and maybe the A-Wing and that will do - but the price of sealed ones is ridiculous for POTF toys, so good condition and opened is fine
About 20ish figures to go to see out the 1 of each run and then need to find the Max Rebo packs and a few deluxe packs as well.

Sounds good, the sealed ships have started to really go up in price. I am short of a Italian TIE and X Wing and a A Wing myself. Sealed nice A Wings were always plentiful on eBay but not nowadays unfortunately.
Good luck youv done well….addictive isn't it!

 

[monkey_roo]

Two big ones
The AT-AT is damaged(glued front right gun) but that was reflected in the price and the electrics are all good - good display price
The falcon looks good but I can't for the life of me get electrics going, again reflected a bit ( of enough) in price where the seller used the old - electrics not tested - so any advice on fixing electrics feel free to offer up

 

[monkey_roo]

So - opened up the falcon and started to play with wires - just making sure connections good etc. and tried to improve the touch points in battery container and wiz bang - she came to life….

 

[monkey_roo]

And a good amount of cleaning…

 

[monkey_roo]

Jumping right the end of the line for these ones - but too good a deal to pass up.

 

[monkey_roo]

Quick sidestep from POTF2 - from the US Amazon - think I will have to open it up…

Really liking the look of these. May have to investigate further!?

 

[monkey_roo]

Back on POTT2 and the first of my three holy grail figures - the Max Rebo sets.
These are lovely and still the best band sets ever in my opinion.

 

[monkey_roo]

The second of my holy grail sets arrived today all the way from USA.. is it modern or is it vintage…..

I own that set somewhere - but havent seen it in DECADES.

Great set…as it says in the box neither vintage or modern but "Classic".

 

[monkey_roo]

Last of my three sets - I don't think this was ever hard to find back in the day but for whatever reason I never got it, also to be a completest I should probably find the scanner crew version - it I'm not to fussed.
Just love it's another falcon.

This is a weird post…….
I have managed to get one of every modern Stormtrooper carded and my focus figure is R2 so delighted when these arrived yesterday.
Really nice figures but when I looked at the paper invoice in the box I remembered how much I paid for them - £50.
Might just be a case of me getting old (or being a tight Scottish git) but I just can't get past paying £50 for 3 figures which in my head should be a tenner each.
Think modern is getting too expensive for me

 

[Cazza]

They look really smart, but I agree, modern prices are getting stupid. Figures should be around £8 for things like the Retro Collection and £10 for Vintage Collection. They probably cost less than that in the States.

Nice one looks great

 

[StarWarsFan]

Also picked these up recently

 

[monkey_roo]

Snowspeeder in box is lovely and a very modern bit with it

 

[Nita Nitro]

Sweet Snowspeeder

 

[monkey_roo]

One more
Never owned this chap first time around - along with the Jawa Comtech seems harder to find.

 

[lejackal]

Two new ships for me, the only regret is not buying them years ago. Now for the figures (the Swoop is on the way)

 

[monkey_roo]

The Shadows POTF2 sets/figures are amazing - easily some of the best in the line. The Outrider is great (even if the scale is a little off next to the Falcon )
Lovely purchases.

I only saw it in person for the first time the other week, I was surprised it was that small but it's a great ship. The description of it in action in the book is amazing

 

[Nita Nitro]

That's a couple of great additions to your collection. The purple colouring looks brilliant on the boxes
