Is that the same as the vintage one?

 

[monkey_roo]

Just looking at it next to my Vintage one and there are quite a few differences. the 'groin' area is new and the ammo belt is a separate item. The head is more pronounced and generally the body is bulkier - I think the legs are the same though.

Looking at a few of the POTJ vehicles - and they are a mixture of Jedi updated paint jobs (Tie Interceptor & B-Wing) and th POTJ updated paint jobs (Snowspeeder & AT-ST)

And yes - I am keep the postal industry going right now

Ah…very interesting….where did you get Havoc from?
Your one has no goatie, most I've seen do have one (including the one that I have) and I was wondering if it was either the early release or possibly the US ones that have the goatie missing.

 

[monkey_roo]

Hey - My Havoc came from HasbroPulse UK - can't say as I'd seen the difference - but then again I wasn't looking for it

 

[monkey_roo]

The deluxe figures from POTJ are amazing
First one in.

That's interesting, as others have posted pictures of theirs from Pulse and he a a goatie.

Probably one of the best Leia's out there.

 

[monkey_roo]

The other 3 deluxe figures and a few extra. Those deluxes are awesome - forgot how good they were.

 

[monkey_roo]

Few more

 

[monkey_roo]

A bit more and a few EP1 bits
And he of the play sets is good the other a bit beat up - but a good bundle price so happy enough.

The Darth Vader figure is a beater - but can in a bundle of beater cards and given the price of a mint one happy enough for now.

 

[monkey_roo]

Mixed bag again here
The Vader is lovely but the Leia - which was sold as MOC - but arrived with a lot of bubble lifting is less nice - the trouble with evilbay….

 

[monkey_roo]

Not Star Wars but wanted to see what they would be like. As with all hasbro shipping figures ordered earlier haven't shipped and so on - why that company's can't deal with logistics and so on is beyond me… anyway.

 

[monkey_roo]

Back on brand….

 

[MrGudz]

I've got some of the Indy series. It's been a financially crippling week for deliveries no thanks to Hasbro's idiotic shipping timetable.

 

[kabuchi7]

I think my wallets crippled after todays frenzy

 

[Mini99]

Ok…I know this is the wrong place for this but couldn't find a better one…

Does anyone have a "Vintage Collection VC33 Padme Peasant Disguise" they would be looking to sell…if so please let me know.

Many thanks in advance.

 

[monkey_roo]

Drifting to Dr Jones again for a moment.
Also just seen another wave of Black Series Indy figures up for pre-order.

 

[lejackal]

Would love to actually see these in bricks and mortar stores but I won't hold my breath

 

[monkey_roo]

Maybe Forbidden Planet will get a few - and maybe one or two of the old school dealer shops but I can't imagine them appearing anywhere else.
It is sad that collecting is just about internet purchases now.

 

[monkey_roo]

Fully back on POTJ and all six (and an extra) of the Star Tours droids. Lovely figures.

 

[monkey_roo]

So I must confess I don't know much about these - I.e. I have no idea what they came with and how they were sold orginally etc. sonic anyone does know that would be great.

But as an oddity in an EP1 collection they are pretty cool.

I was going to suggest the MTT box but I just looked and they were in a blister together

 

[monkey_roo]

Apparently it came in the Theed Hanger Playset - so this is a bundle of factory extra's

You beat me to it!

 

[monkey_roo]

Grrr- just had two of my Indiana Jones Adventure series figure orders cancelled by Amazon so had to evilly them at a markup - the price of missing a new item release time on-line - sold out in seconds and now paying more..... Grrr
Even worse - seems I forgot I ordered one from Forbidden Plant that just arrived - so I over paid for a duplicate… dooh
Mix of SW and IJ here.

Postman was working overtime today…
