Pose 2 8)

The thing in his stomach that opens reminds me of Sex Machine's cod piece on From Dusk Till Dawn :lol: 8)

 

[Bollux]

[roundster]

If anyone finds a spare boba or stormtrooper please get it/them for me

Will happily pay postage costs

 

[Bollux]

****! the shop had two last night

 

[inzaman]

Picked these two up the other day as well. These are just such cool figures, the articulation and detail are amazing. I just need a couple more Kashyyyk troopers and Yoda and i can recreate Order 66 Kashyyyk 8)

Im still waiting for them to kit bash a proper Kashykk trooper. Hasbro has the bits and it wouldn`t take much, just lazy fuckers. Gree badly needs sorting too!!!!!

I think for the kit bashed clones some people have used the Galactic Marine boots, i think we are think along the same lines there?

The ROTS Gree is dreadful imo, the clone that comes in the Order 66 box with Yoda looks far better imo, not perfect but much better than ROTS Gree.

As you may have all noticed (this is sarcasm by the way) i have been away from the forums the last week as i was over in the US on holiday and managed to pick these up 8)

Couldn't find IG88 or Luke Bespin anywhere. I also picked up some Saga legends, mainly for the coins as they will be issued as Episodes 1 through 6 as opposed to individual figure coins like TAC.

Cards look pretty cool Inzi 8) , though I don't like the modern figures, for some reason they just don't look right to me.
They expensive?

They were only $10 each and the TAC is $7 plus tax which varies depending on State. The VOTC will no doubt be Ã'£10 over here which is nearly twice as much, the US collectors have it so easy for price, no wonder they can build clone armies etc.

Also tracked a Post Office down and picked this stamp set up 8)

I also managed to get a picture of me next to one of the R2D2 Post Boxes, need to scan it in before posting as its on 35mm as opposed to digital.

8) Cool stamps, is it just me or do the ones of the original Trilogy look better?

 

[Dom]

Those vtsc are great mate

Dom i have since opened them and the Snowtrooper is one awesome figure imo 8)

 

[inzaman]

Also whilst in the US i purchased two Saga Legends figures that i wanted to help complete the prequels collection.

Darth Maul 8)

 

[inzaman]

General Grevous

Both with their respective coins.

 

[weasel]

I will have to check woolies out, i need Luke with his bone :shock: another McQuarrie Darth and Elis Helrot. I think the McQuarrie darth looks excellent, so does the Boba 8)

 

[craignwo4life]

Are there one or two versions of the McQuarrie Vader? :?

There are 2 helmets with him.

The Luke sucks!!!

 

[craignwo4life]

Yeah I have just been looking at them on ebay and now I'm tempted to get a McQuarrie and a 30th anniversary Vader just to put on my shelf but I don't like taking figures off cards anymore !! :lol:

 

[gustie]

I was of the same opinion, and i am only collecting the TAC and a few other 30th anniversary items and thats it for me and modern. There is some great stuff though, especially if you get into the MR items 8)

 

[craignwo4life]

Bought my first modern item in years today - a McQuarrie Vader !! 8)

For Ã'£6 the design quality is very good although I can't get him to hold the blaster and the coin is a bit cheap and nasty !! :lol:

your standing on a slippery slope....

 

[craignwo4life]

No, I'm not really collecting anything at the minute as I am trying to save some money but I will probably get another modern Vader for displaying purposes to show the difference between the Mcquarrie design and the final one. 8)
