Latest Modern Acquisitions

No problem... im gutted i missed out on Thrawn, apparently he flew out as soon as they put him on the shelf!

A common occurrence. Are you desperate for one as I will be go to Echo Live in 2 weeks and thats where I got mine, Spring this year. £15 I think I paid.

He is the only one i need to complete my Rebels collection

Ok. Will probably get one anyway from there as someone is always after one. Will let you know in 17 days time if I had success!

Just a heads up that The Entertainer now are also stocking imported Rogue One 3/75" action figures for £3. I picked up a Krennic & Vader last night...

Foxdaddy - thanks for tip off! Another toy recce coming!

Thanks to foxdaddy for Rogue One info. Now I did say I was not going to get the vehicles but these rebels figures are quite likeable. So got the two here and another figure. All from The Entertainer today. Erza and AT-DP were £7.33 each so not bad I think?

Bought another piece of the Solo jigsaw puzzle from Forbidden Planet just before I went on holiday...reduced to £12 so not too bad

I'd only bought The Last Jedi packaging of this a few months back as well Taff...not sure if its a straight repack or not ?...I'd read somewhere that the BB-8 figure in the Solo pack is better finished than The Last Jedi pack but I've not compared the two side by side yet

Nor me but jedi temple archives says they are all new sculpts based on digital files of previous versions. Slight repaints and tooling differences from previous versions are also mentioned.
Hope that helps with info?

Treated myself to this and arrived today! It has been a bit elusive so got there in the end.
Most modern wanted updated to reflect i only need erso and rau to finish off figures ( excluding even more elusive US Walmart and Target multipacks).

Running a Toy recce today - what modern will I find?

Assault Walker with Sgt Stormtrooper. Cannot leave it there for £7.33!
All standard Class 1 vehicles obtained - think they will do for now!

Bought this ROTS item from Nick Roach on the Echo Facebook site...another Episode 3 piece of the toy jigsaw.... also picked up the Luke/Emperor/Royal Guard pack from The Entertainer....

I always enjoy looking on this thread although forget to post up the odd new item I have. Some great items have been on here recently and it's always nice to see what people have been picking up.

Here's my latest 2 pickups and even though I decided with Solo to bow out of picking up any more modern SW figures I thought these figures looked so cool that I couldn't resist.

The sculpts and card art is fantastic on these so it was hard to let them pass.

Ian, those are great ones. Liking these more, espically Enfys Nest!

This keeps happening! :lol:

I returned to get the Desert Landspeeder from The Entertainer as I find the reference to my list source (Jedi Temple Archive) intriguing as it states under Class II vehicles that the Desert Landspeeder under Wave 2 was cancelled. Obviously not in Rogue One film, but with its packaging I wonder if the repack idea was shelved. Did it get released everywhere or just Eùrope (Europe packaging)? Perhaps US collectors can answer if they actually had it or not?
The rear states The Force Awakens.

How the A Wing got in the bag I do not know but at £11.99 each, quite a bit for the pennies there.

Not sure on the Nerf stuff with A wing though... :roll:

Well at least I have the US excited on my news of this find. They seem to have not ever seen one out there so causing a little stir!

Nice. That trooper set is pretty good. Again US exclusive?

Yeah only at target.

That trooper set is fantastic. How much was it?

Hi guys,
Not posted here before!
As I'm a bit skint and have recently changed focus (again :roll: ) I thought a bit of "New Age Vintage" aka Modern wouldn't go a miss.
So here we have POTF 2 Italian R2D2

And an Canadian POTF R2D2
For those not familiar with these notice that the card has four straight edges.

I suspect this will be the total modern in my collection, but never say never.
To have a POTF 2 MOC in hand again is a journey down memory lane!

Modern is not so dark as every suggests Mini! :lol:

That is a beauty to jump in here with though! Welcome m8y. :lol:

This is the most new stuff I've found for a while. :lol:
I actually surprised the Finn wasn't on sale cheaper before. Lately they've been $4.

Black series for $2.50. We get so done over here. Cheapest I have seen retail is £5.

Saw some old stock black series jyn and cassian for $13 at target. You would think that having these figures for so long that they would put them on sale cheaper.

 

[Taffius]

Is Rogue One getting excessive now? More in today and some variants there. :lol:

 

[Taffius]

Well, this is my modern hoard from Redditch yesterday. Thanks to the sellers who looked out for me and knew what I was after.
