Hey mate Great Pickup there!

How much would you say one of those is worth mate?

I have spied one but not sure on the value of the vintage collection stuff? :?

Great pickup BTW!

At the moment i would pay £100 tops for it but i think, like the legacy falcon, once they are gone they are gone so will go up in value. Toys R Us have got an offer on at the moment buy 1 get 1 half price so i reckon they will shift pretty rapidly and then not be available again. I got the last 2 in Scunthorpe at the weekend and the vintage collection items never seem to be around for long IMO. I've just scanned ebay and there's a few on there that you should be able to land somewhere between £80 - £100 smackers m8.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Thanks Chiffy. The guys looking for 125 so I think I will hold fire! Thanks for the advice! 8)

 

[poncho]

got this for my birthday....its cool 8) my first ever modern figure lol

 

[chiffy]

That stormie's pucka mate! You know when you get older and you decide there's nothing you want for your birthday or xmas anymore, it's brill that relations can get you star wars stuff! My missus got me TVC falcon for my last birthday. I had to take alot of geek **** for it tho' when she told evryone on facebook but **** em eh?

 

[Michael Sith]

Don't do Facebook, but do get ribbed for SW collecting, like you say F em :!:

The more detractors there are, the less people snapping up the bargains I say

Really like that sand trooper

What do you think about the Black series , don't know if its out yet?

 

[chiffy]

I think they look junk! Considering i'm a modern collector i'm very negative when it comes to new lines and they're only repeating the same **** over again. It's about time they brought some new characters out like the expanded universe ' debut figures ' , there must be loads of characters left to cover. I think they're out start of August but i will only be picking them up from the sales bin but look forward to seeing yours on here presuming you're getting them m8.

 

[escapist]

End of the year for the Black Series I think. Around Sept/Oct... but watch out the RRP is apparently £12.99

Only want Luke, Vader and Biggs though so not too horrendous....

Edit.. nope August is apparently correct! my bad!! FP has them up: http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=76660

 

[Michael Sith]

Biggs, Luke, Sandtrooper, and biker scout for me
Like the looks of these, the R2 and Vader don't look too good :?

August...nice my birthday falls then, good excuse to buy myself a present :lol: :lol:

If I ask the Mrs to get me a Biggs Darklighter she'll think I've started back on the **** :lol:

 

[db94]

Yep Luke, Biggs, Biker Scout and Vader - id buy Vader just to get Solo's blaster, have you seen how detailed it is 8)
Out of the 6" line can't wait to get R2, Luke and Sandtrooper.
Thought I'd be concentrating on vintage pickups and then these guys come along and tempt me into spending my cash

 

[Michael Sith]

Just checked it out, agree, the Han blaster looks really cool, so think Vader is now on the list

Jedi mind tricks work on this weak minded fool :lol:

Good spot that

 

[db94]

weak minded fool

I hear you - in Asda today and they had a fresh box of Vintage Collection figures so I HAD to buy another Prune Face and ERG. I now have 3 of each but when you spot them in the wild you just can't walk past !

 

[Michael Sith]

There with you buddy, bloody night mare
I have a Co car, so wanted a 4 wheel drive for the family and dogs, bought a freelander td4 sport, the determining factor was the black one as it looks Vaderish, so SW even influenced me there...no hope :roll:

 

[db94]

Next time my wife complains about me spending £8.99 on a figure I will show her your last post
Reckon that would make a pretty good thread - what's the most expensive thing that SW has had an influence on at point of purchase? Think you might win it with your motor 8)

 

[chiffy]

Dunno about Star Wars but i bought my house to be right next to my beloved football team! It takes me approx 2 minutes to walk from my front door to my season ticket seat....shame its for Grimsby :lol:

 

[Michael Sith]

:lol: we even call the freelander Darth :lol:

Sad sad man I am :roll:

 

[escapist]

I think its been mentioned but everyone head to their local Toys R Us! Mine had 5 each of the 'best of' wave or whatever its called, Gamorrean guards, Bespin Han, Bom Vimdin, Rebel Fleet Trooper, Dr Evazan, Kithaba (red bandana variant) and Logray from the OT. There were some prequel ones, but I blanked them.... £4.99 each...

 

[chiffy]

Can anyone get me a gam guard? My local is over 30 miles away

 

[Michael Sith]

Some online
Go to toys r us
Search Star Wars
Select under £10
They come up

i'll probably be going back next weekend. if there's one there i'll get you one.

 

[chiffy]

Michael ive already done that but unavailable for home delivery

Thanks much appreciated if they have 1 and you could get me one Rob thanks mate

 

[Michael Sith]

Sorry mate

Will keep you posted. My other half bought me a Gammy and Kithaba but have been put away for father's day gifts as I was a bit excitable when I saw them all. I am technically on a figure buying break and promised I weren't buying any more until we've moved house next month and I've done all the decorating, bought new appliances etc.

 

[db94]

3 figures I have been after for awhile and thanks to chewbaccadave I've got them
Look great next to their vintage versions

 

[escapist]

So jealous of that At-At commander... Amazing work!!!! Chewiedave offers a great service!! haha

 

[chiffy]

Awesome stuff i love the modern next to the vintage

 

[monkey_roo]

Happy days, this was waiting at work for me today. I so love the Disney Crossover line. Still waiting on my Sarlac Pit set and Jedi Starfigher (They will be some time, like September as i have to go to the US to collect them ) from this years SW Weekend

But this is a great figure, the Mouse is cracking, the cloth cape looks fantastic and the black glove, white glove pose with the lightsable is classic and who doesn't love Chip and Dale... Number 751 of 1983. I think this is one of the best corssover/parody figures they have ever done and as a limited exclusive is better than the Stitch Emperor and the Shadowtrooper Duck from a few years back - Instantly a favourite shame about my photography skills

 

[chiffy]

that is both **** and fantastic at the same time if that's understandable mate ha ha

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

My lastest Haul

Delighted with it.

The Sideshow Galactic marine is signed by the president of GG and limited to 2000 pieces!
