Latest Modern Acquisitions

[grinchy]

great scores, love the dagobah R2, very nice, need to pick one of those up
Went to a different toysrus today, snagged these two, han was reduced to £15 so i bought the droid double pack as well, still looking for fett, haven't seen him at all

 

[grinchy]

picked up this today for under 6 quid, from home and bargain stores, not sure if they are nationwide, they had annakin, ben and a clone but i only wanted vader, not bad for the money

 

[chiffy]

Been after this bitch for years! Did anyone else find her a tad hard to obtain or was it just me???

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Still need one of those myself. Great pickup

 

[db94]

Grinchy/Chiffy great pickups
Had a quick look in home bargains but no Vader just lots of Anakins

This little lot arrived today ready to be added to my daughters Bespin freezing scene. Chewie and 3PO will replace the Hoth version she is using just now (Chewie definitely didn't have snow on his fur in that scene)

The Ugnaughts are a lot nicer than I thought they would be, Greedo is for her Jabba scene and again I'm really impressed with him.

Oh and I love the SOTE Slave1, same mould as my ESB one but with a really cool paint job

 

[chiffy]

Great stuff DB. That's about the only chewie figure mould that is actually to scale mate!

 

[grinchy]

very nice scores db, is the slave 1 the same mould as the vintage?, it does look the part with the more detailed paintjob

 

[db94]

Yep exactly same mould and is now proudly on display in my daughters room - don't remember Boba being involved in the Hoth battle but she's' running out of wall space

Her Bespin scene is nearly complete, she's looking for a vintage Lobot and I am seriously considering adding some orange lights to the base, have some battery operated orange Halloween fairy lights that I think would be perfect. Love how she has every type of Stormie in there - vintage, POTF2 and vintage collection.

 

[grinchy]

Thats a great looking display!, so many cool goodies, love it.
Never seen that carbon freeze display piece before, was it a playset or custom?,it'll look great with lights i agree

Edit just found it on ebay, cool! added to my christmas list lol

 

[monkey_roo]

Not to eveyones likeing i know but i do so love these crossover figures. I have passed on the box set that came out as it is just a rehash of last years figures (Disney clearing stock and being Disney there) but this two figure pack is fun and goes well with the other exclusives in the line (and i am proud to say i have the entire line )

Anyway - enjoy

 

[grinchy]

I think the crossover figures are cool, i only have the luke and vader, how many figures in the line?

 

[monkey_roo]

I think there are over 30 figure cards now, 6 or so two packs (big box display things), 1 Jedi Starfighter and two box sets, so quite a bit.
The box set suck, I have one and sort of regret and unless the other turns up for very little won't worry about it it as there is nothing new in it. The figures are great though. They were released in batches of five and a number of exclusives.

Series 1 - goofy as Vader, Minnie as Leia, Donald as Han Solo, mickey as Luke, stitch as emperor
Series 2 - Minnie as amidala, Donald as Darth maul, goofy as jar jar, mickey as Anakin, stitch as yoda
Series 3 - chip n dale as ewoks, Donald as stormie, goofy as chewie, mickey as xwing pilot Luke, Minnie as slave Leia + exclusive stich as hologram emperor
Series 4 - bad Pete as boba fett, Donald as Han in Carbonite, goofy as c3p0, mickey as Jedi Luke, Minnie as Leia Boussh + exclusive Donald as shadow trooper
Series 5 - Donald as commander Cody, Minnie as aurora sing, stich as general grievous, goofy as cad bane, Huey dewy and Louie as jawas, + exclusive mickey as Endor Luke with ewoks chip n dale
Series 6 - mickey as Anakin pod racer, Donald as maul, Minnie as queen amadla, Pluto as r2d2 + chase figure of goofy as tc14

2 Packs
Jedi mickey and yoda
Jedi mickey and r2-MK
Stitch and goofy as emperor and chewie
Mickey and Minnie as Luke and Liea

Edited with the other added.

 

[grinchy]

wow, so many figures i didn't know how many they did.
Thanks for the info, might have to pick up a few of them, but my cabinets are full to bursting at the moment lol,

 

[monkey_roo]

Yeah, there are lots of them, but they are so fun.

Most of mine can be seen in this old showcase thread - http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11256

 

[naughtyjedi]

I sold one of those chewies recently loose and its a decent figure. Love the c3po mash in his bag, you press his head in and it lights up.

 

[db94]

Not a fan of crossover figures either but some of them are hard to resist, Stitch being one of them - He just looks so good as the Emperor 8)

 

[monkey_roo]

They are great, I love the Jedi Mickey with Yoda pair.

 

[grinchy]

loving all the votc figures, i think they look cool, i only have han in trenchcoat, and george as a trooper, the packaging on them is top notch with a nice starcase to.

 

[grinchy]

Heres my latest modern haul, finally got a decent celebration 3 vader on a good card, bought this figure twice from ebay both times the card was damaged in packing, this one is perfect with a star case to, and less than 7 quid delivered, the ben is nice and the shocktrooper i think is part of the unleashed line,

 

[Michael Sith]

nice bud

Vader is really nice...like the trooper

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Here is my latest Haul!

Absolutely love them especially the b wing fighter!

 

[grinchy]

So many cool new scores, very nice, need the bwing and snowspeeder myself

 

[db94]

grinchy - great pick up. Vader looks fantastic, very nice indeed and I have always liked the OTC packaging - the picture of Ben on the front really makes it special.

DSL - wow what a haul, you must be super chuffed with that lot, looks like xmas morning

grinchy can highly recommend that snowspeeder, got it a few years back and it pretty much got me back into collecting SW toys

Think I'll be get some doubles of these as my wife wants a Yoda for herself!

Apologies for the crap photos, should have taken the pictures during the day, not at night under a desk lamp!

 

[Stronghold]

I have just picked up a load of the 6" black series and I have to say I'm very impressed with the level of detail.
Don't think they will hold much value for long but they do look amazing.

 

[grinchy]

Nice black series pickups, love the yoda they have done a nice job with the figure
i've been swapping around my display and have a bobba shelf i'm putting together, needs more figures as its not busy enough, as you might have seen in other pics of mine i like to cram them in there lol
