[Bollux]

good to see you're starting the boy off young mate, i spotted a slave leia in the background there!

 

[lee gray]

love this sculpt

 

[col]

I couldnt resist any longer,here is my 501st trooper.

 

[gustie]

ha you will be opening vintage ones like jabba next!

 

[col]

If i get any you could be right there,i think they look great,just thought a bunch of these would look fantastic on the side,like a small platoon next to darths shuttle maybe,that would look great.

 

[col]

Just picked this up at richmonds woolies,i was hoping for c3po too but it wasnt there,only a handfull on the shelf.

 

[gustie]

thanks to Roundster on this one

i reckon this is the coolest concept TAC

 

[col]

Is a concept one a mcquarrie?And that one does look good.

yeah the concepts are mcquarries - there is another line of concepts - from the newer artist who did darth sidious too but i cant think of his name

 

[col]

I like some,but some are too cartoony for me,but i suppose ill have to have them eventually to complete the set

so is your focus going to be TAC figures only? or are you going to get any other series?

 

[col]

At the moment i think it will be tac,im guessing thats thirtieth anniversary?But iv no doubt ill be getting others too,im very keen on the vehicles too,probably more than the figures,but its cost isnt it,so they will be slower in joining my collection, the great offers iv had on here of a couple of you about offering things is fantastic,but being modern,i would prefer to get nice new boxed ones,im sure you understand eh?

 

[gustie]

yeah i understand just collect whatever you like

my things vintage but the concepts will be the only moderns ill get

i only need a blue snag to finish the main run, but then there is the droids series and ewok series which are both spin offs from the cartoons they made back then

ive got a few vehicles and starting to get playsets and minirigs too

 

[col]

I started with the 30th simply because i thought they wouldbe an easy start,but it seems they can be thin on the shelves,so not as easy as i thought.I would love to get vintage,but i dont use ebay so it would take me ages,or a lot of luck at the boot sales.And vehicles are high on my list,modern ones,as im hoping they can be easier and cheaper to get going with.Unless im lucky enough to come across some at the boot sales,

 

[gustie]

ive found about 12 figures in the last 3 months at boot sales - always see loads of trilogy VHS box sets at them :roll:

 

[col]

Im going to the boot sale i saw that box full of loose figures at next sunday,fingers crossed its still there,ill be in like a shot

 

[gustie]

you might find me some new variants

 

[col]

Ill keep my eyes open,but im still unsure of what im looking at yet

 

[gustie]

heh ta :mrgreen:

 

[lee gray]

thanks to Roundster on this one

i reckon this is the coolest concept TAC

yep love that figure along with the trooper, some of the concept ones look real **** though

i got a few of those display boxes at my house i take them from the shelves in tescos each time they put a new lot out

 

[gustie]

i still need a stormtrooper....

 

[inzaman]

I have now completed the full coin collection - at last. I have all the coins including the convention coins etc. I have not yet gone fo rthe UGH coins but so far my album is full all but four spaces :roll: If Hasbro had designed it properly then i fairness i would have no slots left.
