latest modern stuff

 

[grinchy]

Very nice pickups, i need that six inch yoda for my collection, he should be a bit cheaper i think than the normal sized figures, but thats the scrooge in me, the luke and han twopack is ace i have that set

Love the 6" Black Series figures - because I am so anti prequels I kinda wish Yoda didn't come with a saber but the TIE pilot looks the business

Got a surprise gift from one of the guys in my Watch. He was clearing out his loft and he gave me his sons SW toys (he didn't want them) for my collection

 

[Jediknight3263827]

nice surprise,even better that they are a gift
i too think it would have been better if they didnt pack yoda with saber

 

[Cazza]

Nice one Colin!

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Very nice Collin

 

[grinchy]

very nice collection, all the better for being free!
Heres my latest, holiday edition vader, i don't have any of the others, might see if i can get the set eventually, christmas and star wars, a winning combo!

 

[db94]

That Vader looks great
With those classic signature quotes I think having Christmas SW in your collection is long overdue

 

[Jediknight3263827]

nice Vader i'v got that too as well as the holiday Jawas,need to get the rest but the R2 and 3po go for silly prices sometimes

 

[grinchy]

Cheers guys
Got my eye on the others in the set, but theres no rush, they are really nice, a couple based on the Ralph McQuarrie artworks, sure i'll end up with them all eventually.

I do love watching this thread, back in 2011 i sold off over 1000 modern toys (it is the event that bought me to this forum), seeing so many great toys getting picked up almost makes me regret off loading as much as i did.

Anyway, I do still pick up one line of modern toys, the disny parody stuff. I am waiting for last weeks exclusive R2/Pluto, Mini/Leia set and a pre-order on the Bad Pete/Jango figure but i did grab last years Escape from Death Star Box set, no new figures but a nice set and it keeps my line cmplete for now.

Great pickup there matt! 8)

 

[poncho]

it was my birthday yesterday and got these nothing vintage but all good. a couple of tees and micro lego atat driver 8)

 

[grinchy]

Nice Tshirts and lego to!,

 

[db94]

Love those t-shirts and the Walker is one of my favourites in that line.
Here's what I picked up for May the 4th

 

[grinchy]

Very nice astro droids mate, as you know i love those guys!

 

[db94]

Thought you might like them

I got this 2nd Black series R2 as I wanted to open one - it's pretty decent, like that he is just a nice simple R2 with no fancy extras. The sculpt is good and the non shiny dome is a bonus but he's let down but very thin bendy/rubbery legs. Like I said nice figure but hasn't knocked my Legacy R2 of the top spot - still the best R2 in my mind.

He's a very nice addition to my loose R2's

 

[grinchy]

Very nice setup there mate, not sure i have the legacy R2, i went to tru today astro hunting they didn't have any droids, but they had these two

£7.49 each, had to go digging to find a yoda who wasn't boss eyed, lol

 

[db94]

Love those two figures, I keep a lot of my BS figures carded but they got opened up. Thinking of setting up a wee Dagoba scene with the crashed X Wing - would be a great excuse to buy the vintage Dagoba playset that I've always wanted

 

[Jediknight3263827]

got this today at warrington market

looks really good and as a bonus Iain's acrylic plaques fit in base as well

 

[grinchy]

Wow, i love that display plaque, great pickup mate

 

[grinchy]

picked these up in home and bargain, 4.99 each, might be worth checking your local place out

 

[lee gray]

love those legacy figures.

Finally got the helmet shaped black series figures in the store i work now (darth malgus wave)

picked this toysrus set up at B and M today

 

[db94]

Grinchy - bloody hell what a find
Will be right round to my local tomorrow - will let you know

 

[db94]

picked this toysrus set up at B and M today

Our local Homebase just closed down and a B and M is opening in its place, first one in the area - didn't realise they stocked SW figures

 

[grinchy]

Nice podracing set,!, and glad you got the figures you where after
Hope your local place has the legacy figures matey

 

[db94]

Well rushed round this morning but all they had on the shelves was this

Will keep checking though, actually quite like the fact I'll have to pop in to check everyday - just like being a kid again

 

[lee gray]

I check often, they get all types of toys in like transformers, dr who 3 pack sets and TMNT, just depends on what they get their hands onto, up until about 2 months ago they had a lot of the green carded figures POTJ in

 

[chiffy]

Been after this for years and can't believe I picked it up off a facebook toy group last week for £7.50 posted!

 

[grinchy]

Thats a great price for that chiffy, i've been after that one myself, very nice
