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

Just noticed your post - you still after a GG? My local TRU had a few I could call them back and see if they have any left, get one put aside

 

[chiffy]

Really? Yeah if you would be so kind matey i would appreciate it thanks! If you can get more than 1 then i would take a few of them so i can open for loose display. Drop me a PM if you get anywhere with them please mate

Great haul for Fathers Day

The SW Blu Ray 4 pack is definitely worth picking up just for the Ben and Luke figures
Reckon it's the best modern farmboy Luke available

And the Ben is possibly my favourite modern figure - absolutely nailed the facial sculpt for Alec Guinness

And for anyone that hasn't picked up the latest Sandtrooper I can't recommend it enough - the level of detail and weathering is amazing

 

[escapist]

Amazing haul! I love the new Sandtrooper! Got four in the end!

Also got a few of those Luke's from a seller on ebay who had them for £3 loose! He's the go-to Luke in terms of headsculpt for ANH. Swapped the head with the Death Star Escape VC Luke (way too blonde).

Ben is definitive too, just the bulky robes annoy me!

Today is a good day!!! Camie and Fixer Celebration 5 comic pack £12.99 in TK Maxx courtesy of my mum!!!! Pic to come when I get home....

 

[db94]

Nice one

Keep checking my local TK Maxx but no ewoks or comic packs

 

[monkey_roo]

^ wow that is a cracking deal on a cracking piece, I love those comic 2 packs - nice one

 

[escapist]

It was a chore (if you follow the UK Findings thread on RS you will have seen the efforts I went to!). I went to four stores in and near London with no joy. Send me mum out to check her local and she gets one!! Would love another to make some spare cantina patrons!!

 

[escapist]

as promised, Camie and Fixer!

Love these guys!

 

[db94]

Another superb picture set up - you've got skills man, definitely got skills

Today is speeder day - Land speeder and speeder bike

Been desperate to add the fantastic new landspeeder to my collection, can't wait to set it up with my vintage one

Speeder bike is a USA TRU exclusive but did a swap with someone on RS so I'm pretty damned chuffed to have it - it looks the business on the clear stand, again will look great displayed next to vintage, will update my showcase pictures soon.

Got a really nice selection of carded figures including a great R2 (cheers Rich) for my growing focus

 

[escapist]

Oh yes! Got the Landspeeder and Luke Skywalkers Tauntaun last year for a £20 on eBay! Looks soo cool and love the gun that it comes with.

Been deliberating on the Speeder Bike for a little bit but I see TRU in the US now ship to the UK so may just take the plunge..... The display stand rules!!!

Cool modern additions lads. The Sandtrooper is superb. Almost tempted by that. I have a small modern side interest in Original Trilogy characters that were not issued during the vintage times, turns out there's bloody loads of them! Love the homestead set-up, nice one.

 

[escapist]

Haha my 'focus' is modern loose versions of OT characters. Major fail. Way too many. So I've honed in on Tattooine (i.e. Lars Homestead, Cantina and Jabba's palace) and Endor for now.

Bespin next.... Then Hoth.... Dagobah should be relatively easy but I'm holding out for the rumoured new Yoda and Luke!!

Oh and I guess that leaves the Death Star/Imperials till last....

 

[chiffy]

Just a few of my recent pick ups thanks to ebay and some of you superstars on here :wink:

 

[db94]

Superb mate, some really nice pickups there - love the convention Boba
But more to the point I'm loving the background in the pictures, look at your wall, bloody hell you live in my dream toy shop!

 

[chiffy]

Ha Colin that's the LucasLoft and thanks to you i still can't believe the detail on those Gams

 

[Michael Sith]

agree that gam is great

 

[PIGCITY]

The Guard does look good it is a shame that the fluffy part never lived up to the pre production model though

 

[db94]

Well honestly didn't think I was going to be buying black series but already picked up 2 (Vader yesterday)of them - bloody hard not to when the packaging looks so good.
Got these today for my daughter but fancy getting them for myself.
Kyle is just a damn great figure, definitely one of my favourites and Biggs from black series is pretty good as well.

the two tone pink looking legs is just my mobile phone struggling to take a decent picture in the dark.

The highlight of tonight - me hiding SW figures at the back of shelves in Asda so I can go back tomorrow and get them - 41 going on 7 :lol:

 

[poncho]
