How much would you say the trio are worth?

[chiffy]

Malgus £20, Shae £25-£30, Star £30-£40 roughly mate

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Thanks mate I paid around £45 for the lot shipped!

Received this Rocket Firing Fett today. I have been after one for a while but got this for quite a good price

 

[kuwahero]

picked up a couple of these myself a couple of months back.

nice figure, just a pity they didn't make it with original rocket though.

 

[JuniorChubb]

Wow this thread has picked up a few pages since my last visit, awesome pieces in the modern ranges.

@Kuwa, you're right mate, the rocket is a let down. Those same H&S rules that stopped the original Firing Fett being released have struck again and dictated the minimum size of the rocket in the name of safety, leaving us with an oversized rocket that not even an elephant could choke on. If this gets released as something other than a 'toy' we might get what we want.

I was a bit disapointed at the size of the rocket, but its still a nice piece
Heres my haul i found in the loft, completely forgot i had it, lol, i was only in the loft looking for christmas deccies, and found a big box full, most of this will go to fund my vintage collection

 

[Shaunyboy]

I don't know much at all about Expended Universe characters, I just go for figures I like the look of, this is the latest; Jedi Master Tholme:

Love the head sculpt with that facial scar of his

Also, the walking stick accessory is a great touch.

I presume that with the stick, scar and the leg support this Jedi has seen a lot of battle!!

 

[Clone Collector]

Been a while but I is back again.

Been a little quiet on the SW buying this year with the calm off of the VC collection so it's been little impulse or cheap in the sales buys for me. But here are a few items for peoples enjoyment!

 

[inzaman]

I was a bit disapointed at the size of the rocket, but its still a nice piece

I am going to keep him boxed tbh, i might see if i can source a cheap loose one

 

[grinchy]

some great modern scores in this thread, i just got this today, from amazon.com
legacy collection build a droid set, £15.00 delivered

definately my bargain of the month

 

[rebel_scum]

Got one of those droid sets too but my Mrs has gone and wrapped it Christmas!!!

 

[inzaman]

Thats a great build a droid set, £15 is a great deal IMO

 

[db94]

Shaunyboy - great pictures, that is one of the reasons I collect modern - they look so good
Grinchy - great pick up from amazon and at an amazing price!

Here's the combined (daughter and mine) xmas haul

Loving the twin pod cloud car and Y Wing - in fact I love the Y Wing so much I'm going to risk posting about it on the vintage threads

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Great haul there! 8)

 

[grinchy]

wow a great haul of goodies!

 

[db94]

Got Boba for xmas so now my Koto Bespin City set up is complete and I think it looks great

Can't wait to get my Sandtroopers

 

[grinchy]

Those figures look great, have a couple of those myself, for the money they are really nice.
Well i won this on ebay, in the listing it was mint didn't pay a lot for it, been after one for a while, it arrived today

shoved in an envelope and the top folded flat, i got a partial refund, and so the quest continues for a nice carded example, seller thought it was ok, and he did this with all his stuff and never had a problem before me

 

[db94]

Nice figure - shame about the lack of though that went into the packaging, oh well at least you got a partial refund.
Glad to say my latest pick up came very nicely packed, bought a few black series figures and was delighted when they were shipped in the Hasbro box - case fresh

My latest R2 looks pretty good next to his bigger 6" version, they display well on the shelf together. Like the latest version, good basic sculpt with no opening doors, pop up accessories etc and I prefer the non shiny dome, just a shame it comes packed with the rubbish prequel jets :roll:

 

[lee gray]

Here is my mini boba fett which i doubt will keep

 

[db94]

I wouldn't keep it either, looks rubbish...........give you a pound for it

 

[MarkG]

Managed to grab a 6" black series Stormtrooper the other day. .. and at retail price too in Toymaster. .

Had to go all the way over to the Isle of Wight to get it though. Luckily had a short break over there.

Lee.. if you do want to shift that mini Fett... I may be interested.

 

[wrighty]

A MISB Lego Sandcrawler 10144, thanks to Steve at UKG for making a custom acrylic case.

 

[chiffy]

Isn't this is the wrong section? Sorry but i cannot stand the coloured brick ***** and that is the reason i don't go into the lego section. I'm sure this is a nice item but please don't subject me to it in here if possible, especially when there is a thread dedicated to it.

 

[Stronghold]

Back on topic

Few things I picked up this week.

Import B-Wing (Kmart)
ROTS x2 Royal Guard
Legacy Falcon (Wanted one of these for a long time!)

Rich

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Awesome pieces Rich! Congrats 8)

 

[chiffy]

kool haul there! how much did you pay for the b wing and more importantly how much did you get the falcon for? wonder if mines picked up any value lol

 

[Stronghold]

B-wing came from my uncle who lives out in Oklahoma, so the B-Wing worked out at 10 quid with 16 quid postage, the falcon i got off a classified add in my local paper, he had it up for 150 but i was able to knock the price down to £110 cash, that being said i feel very lucky with both prices I have seen the legacy falcons go for over 300 quid boxed on the bay but i was not going to tell him that

[db94]

Now that's what I'm talking about - superb mate!
Been after a VC B Wing for ages, refuse to pay the over inflated prices when I know how much they are selling for in k-mart!
Heading over to America later this year and VC B Wing and VC Millennium Falcon are top of my shopping list so I am bloody jealous of your latest haul :mrgreen:

 

[db94]

Few additions to my daughters collection

Modern Jabba and dewback, really impressed with these. She's displaying them with a mix of her modern and vintage figures.

The rancor is one of the 1st SW toys we ever bought her - I swear she used to drag it around Asda in a little pink dress Looks great underneath Jabba

She's running out of shelf space so hung her TIE's in front of the corresponding movie poster, will paint the hooks white this weekend so you don't notice them as much.
