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 !! :oops: :lol:

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)

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:

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)

Just come back from the US where i picked these Saga Legends up. One of the Sandtroopers is the real dirty sand looking one, he looks great. I have now completed the Saga Legends coins just need the next Wave 8)

Stormtrooper
Boba Fett
Chewbacca
Darth Vader
Starkiller Hero
Snowtrooper
Luke Skywalker
R2D2 & C3PO
Ben Kenobi & Yoda

These are the ones coming soon
Han Solo

What are the Macquires figs, are they the figures for the original proposed characters for the original films, i.e what the characters might have looked like?

Yes they are sculpted from Ralph McQuaries orginal artwork, below is a pic of my collection that i took a few months ago; i now have Darth Vader, Starkiller Hero and the Snowtrooper. I will take another group shot once i get round to it.
