Some really great pick ups

JK - fingers crossed your wife brings back some nice gifts from Orlando

Have always wanted the Star Wars Widevision binder with #00 promo card so decided to buy this:

It also came with all 3 basic widevision sets and a complete set of ESB Widevision chase cards. There were also a few chase cards and some promo cards from the other sets along with a complete set of ESB mini posters and one ROTJ mini poster.

A lot of the cards I already had but there were some that I needed. I'll most probably sell on the other cards just to try to recoup some of the cost but my primary goal was the binder and promo card some am well chuffed to finally have it (after 20 years!).

 

[grinchy]

Great set there jedivision, nice to get something you've been after for a long time
Well it was the merseyside merseycon today, here are my scores, i've been after the r4 m9 for a decent price for a while now, got him for 12 quid, i did spend over sixty at the guys stall though, haggled him down on a couple of prices, i like to haggle

 

[jedi_mister]

Another item I've wanted for quite a while.

 

[grinchy]

great score, i hope to get one of those for my own collection, so many goodies, so little cash to spend on them,

 

[Jediknight3263827]

Nice classic edition 4 pack thats another thing on my want list but not too bothered about condition of box as i want to open and display.

 

[grinchy]

Heres my latest, love this set, came with a tatty box but i'll display it like this, wonder why the emperor is green though

 

[Gorneesh]

I like the Classic four figure set, and the Vader Vs Luke fight set looks great to.

Don't worry I'm not spamming with the same POTF2 Bossk's got this one today its a Canada card back, so I only have the Italian
Guerre Stellari card back to find now.

 

[grinchy]

Cool, i like your bossk focus, very nice set, hope you get the next one you want

 

[chiffy]

Anyone know anything about this sealed box of mystery and a valuation as I am in the process of getting rid of it but don't really know how much to ask for it?

 

[naughtyjedi]

Nope, but my friend Gary Oogle does, and this is what he says..

[db94]

Ooooo - I fancy these, pm sent

Well yesterday me and the quine decided to go on a proper toy run.
Been checking in with my local Home Bargains ever since I saw Grinchy's post on the Legacy figures being £4.99 (thanks again mate for the kind offer) but they don't have them in stock. Heard from djbighair that Smyths also stocked them so as Inverness is only a 50 minute drive away and has both a HB and a Smyths we set off yesterday.
Nothing in HB but wow I love Smyths, bloody huge and full of friendly staff. They had the whole wave of legacy figures which meant I was sorely tempted to buy more than I needed but I went for the ones I was really after - Sandtrooper and Biker Scout, think they look great on these cards. Now that I'm home I wish I'd bought the TIE pilot as well - could always go back next weekend

They had the Lego Slave1 on the shelves as well - very nice looking

My daughter bought Bossk and IG88

They look great and are a fine example of how good 5 POA figures look, honestly I would be quite happy if this is the direction Hasbro take for the future. Gorneesh great Bossk for your focus mate

We grabbed a pizza and enjoyed the drive home, popped into Asda just before we got home and found the latest wave of Rebel figures so she quickly grabbed the one she's been looking for - Sabine and Stormie, think she had them open before we got out the car shame Asda charge £10.99 and Smyths are only £6.99 for same figures!

Didn't buy a huge amount but it was a great day

 

[chiffy]

Luv that Sabine! Does the helmet come off mate?

 

[db94]

She is a cracker - nope fixed helmet which I suppose is better for long term play value as it wont get lost, both blasters are removable and she has two working holsters.

I'll be checking both Smyths and Asda so if they get more stock I can always give you a shout

Just noticed the Legacy bubbles are attached to the card with sellotape not heat sealed, thought the tape was an extra but looking at them closely it's just tape. This line is very interesting, glad I've got one in my collection.

 

[grinchy]

Glad you got what you were after mate, i've been checking once a week to see if they got new stock in, nothing yet, need a tie fighter pilot myself

Looks more like Godzilla!

Phoned Inverness to see if they still had TIE Pilot for you - they do but the prices went up yesterday to £8.99
Still cheaper than Black Series but shame they have jumped up 2 quid.

Will phone the Aberdeen branch and see if they are they same, daughter wants to do another toy run this weekend so it'll either be Inverness or Aberdeen.

I'll find out prices and you can let me know if you want him

 

[db94]

Just back from Aberdeen - we hit Smyths and got 2 more Legacy figures at £6.99 so their prices haven't gone up, although the other double packs were £10.99 compared to £6.99 in Inverness.

Then went to Forbidden Planet and picked up a Chopper and talking Tauntaun. The Chopper is actually my wife's first carded figure, she mentioned she wanted one the other day as he's so "cute"

Then went to Toys R Us and got absolutely nothing! Shelves were practically bare of SW toys.

Bloody love toy runs

 

[sith-smith]

Never posted here before!!

huge thanks to Chiffy for these pieces (and db94 for the heads up)
