Latest Modern Acquisitions

[Bootyhunter]

I have two GiGi POTF figures Ben and Luke both with long sabres
Are they worth anything?

A few modern bits I picked up recently:

5x cardbacks, not sure where these are from but none have been used...possibly promo items. Also managed to find a Boba Fett from the Disney Infinity 3.0 range for my Fett focus

Rob, I think those are "proof" (more likely unused) cardbacks from the Vintage Collection. I bought about 8 from a US dealer and overpaid for them (about $10 a piece) not knowing they had been give-aways at one of the SDCCs and probably another few shows. Very, very cool, though and I like them. Will have to dig them out and see which ones I got and post them up here. No idea how many are available in total but they would make a very cool set for display.

Very nice proof cards mate, not seen those available before, and that fett is cool to,

 

[robpmarsh]

Need to see what other cards were part of the set

 

[monkey_roo]

Pretty sure I have a Darth Vader one as was at SDCC that year, will look around (my house is a mess )

Here are the modern Revenge of the Jedi, ESB and ROTS proofs I picked up a few months back along with a couple of very special test pieces of the unproduced Rebel Technician. Got to thank Dave Tree for those because a) he made me aware they even existed and b) he put me in touch with the man who acquired them from Hasbro.

The unproduced Rebel Technician. I bought two as I thought I would have been daft to turn down a 2nd one to trade with. If anyone pre-production stuff they'd like to trade I'm all ears!

 

[robpmarsh]

Must get that Fett one for my focus!!!

Anyone got any Wave 2 yet? Not had a chance to look yet, but looks to be some interesting figures 8)

Nothing up here yet, I'm really liking the look of the 3.75 Black Series figures. The black and red box is the business. Good chance I'll be spending far too much money on them when the finally hit the shelves

 

[Richard_H]

Opening all of my 3.75" can't keep them in their bubbles!

I've now got all figures except for Finn in wave one. Also picked up the Vader/Ahsoka 2 pack and a few others that I can't remember.
Slowly knocking all those Rebels that I couldn't find off my lists too.

 

[Indiana]

Wave 2 of TFA are in TRU now, and the 3.75 Black Series are in Asda right now, but only seen Luke Jedi, Chewie & Vader. Rang up as £8.95 per figure.

Got this picture from my wife to today. Really like the packaging, can't wait to have proper look when I get home.

A few modern bits I picked up recently:

if you ever feel like parting with the slave leia one, let me know... :wink:

 

[db94]

Nice delivery today. Pleased with both especially Phazma. Read a few reviews that criticised Poe's face but think it looks fine.

 

[grinchy]

Very nice scores mate, they both look great, especially phasma!, i've yet to see any of these in the wild, only online

 

[robpmarsh]

Managed to pick up a loose A-Wing Fighter as I'll probably never afford a Droids one

 

[Gorneesh]

Picked up a couple more items for the Bossk focus

 

[grinchy]

Nice Awing fighter, i picked one up for the same reason, and nice bossk pickups to, those bobbleheads are cool

 

[digktialx]

Picked up a couple more items for the Bossk focus

They really did it.. They made him so adorable in a way I never thought was possible! Just feels wrong making such a scary bounty hunter look that cute and cuddly doesn't it?

Nice find!

 

[db94]

Love the A Wing, definitely something on my wish list
Bossk twin pack looks great and the Funko stuff is so collectible, scared to start buying them in case I can't stop!

Pleasant surprise yesterday - nice young couple have opened up a comic shop in my home town, full of all the stuff we love.
Grabbed this as it's probably my fave scene from ESB.

 

[grinchy]

looks great mate, about time they got to a new han in carbonite, and a new shop to spend your hard earned in, bonus!
i picked this up from a facebook seller

and my local asda had just luke in the smaller black series, i like the smaller packaging

 

[_Lee_]

Wow, i got a GC Japan THX Obi Wan for £10!!!! im overjoyed. Got all three ThX versions for £35 all in :shock:

Ye old Ben focus is building speed.

 

[kieatky]

Glad the Red Card Japan Ben Kenobi got there safely mate

Posting this on behalf of my son Josh. These are his 2 latest arrivals, a nice boxed POFT2 AT AT and A-Wing. AT-AT is missing the canopy but I've managed to source a replacement for him so will soon be complete. Plus the best thing is the 2 items only cost a combined total of £65 so didn't have to break the bank (if only vintage were that price :roll: )

 

[chiffy]

Love that at at mate, i need it for my collection! Your boy is 1 lucky son of a gun, if you are a gun of course

Gun...more like a starting pistol these days (firing blanks :lol: ). Got to admit I do quite like the design and packaging of the POTF2 range, well except for the figures (Star Wars on Steriods :shock: :shock: :shock: ). I spent a good hour messing around with the AT AT, playing with the sounds and the light up lasers (although no moving lasers like the original :roll: ). All in all its quite a nice item and the A-Wing is pretty cool to

 

[db94]

Great pick ups - I think the vehicles in that toy line are superb, we've bought quite a few over the years for my daughter, absolutely love that her toys are made from the same moulds as the originals I played with, the updated paint jobs/weathering are fantastic, honestly don't know who likes them best her or me!

She has made one small addition to her Walker though!

I'll keep a look out for an AT AT canopy for your son, happy times buddy happy times

 

[kieatky]

That's a great looking display, I'll show it to Josh to see if he wants to do something similar (minus Mr Bean )

Plenty of Wave 2 knocking around this morning. Found 1 Sarco Plank (cracking figure!), but there were plenty of the others apart from Asty. Very few Wave 1 available. Special Forces Tie Fighter looks good. So my boys got Sarco, Gauvian Enforcer and the BB-8 triple pack + a few packs of Topps trading cards
