[Cazza]

Very cool presents! Hope she's had a great birthday 8)

 

[grinchy]

Picked up a few wave 2's from Smythes just now. I don't think these are gonna be on the shelves too long as they are awesome, colourful, detailed for a change compared to the drab looking ****** modern cheap looking figs weve had to put up with in the past :lol:
I especially love the PZ-4C0 droid and the cards on the Inquisitor and Guavian Enforcer look great on display.
I'd grab thses quick if anyone is thinking of getting some in for xmas as, compared to other modern figs, i think when TFA comes out these are gonna be like rocking horse **** pretty much like the wave 1 Kylo and Phasma are now.

 

[grinchy]

Very nice pickups mate, they do look the part don't they, i saw a couple of the new wave at TRU but didn't pick them up, i'm having trouble with finding space for them all, maybe i'll get a few of them.

 

[Cazza]

They are great! Personal favourite is Sarco Plank- awesome!

 

[grinchy]

Well i managed to pick up a modern grail item for me, the 30th anniversary coin album, complete with all 60 coins, i had started with the basic album and managed to pick up 12 coins, but i never expected to get the whole collection together, i paid a wodge of cash for it, but glad to have the set

anyone after the album with the 12 coins let me know, selling it on now

 

[chiffy]

Beautiful mate. Not my kinda thing but a gorgeous piece all the same

 

[grinchy]

Cheers mate, i know its not for everyone, but yeah i like it, never thought i'd pick one up complete, so thats the cool factor for me, i'm sure theres tons of them out there, but just glad to have one

 

[grinchy]

Went to tru today, they had a few new figures in, picked up this guy Poe dameron, looks a decent figure though the headsculpt isn't the greatest.

 

[db94]

Chiffy - wave two does look bloody good mate, I swore I wasn't going to buy anyone in a pathetic protest at the rip off UK prices but they do look nice. Can see me cracking when I see them in a shop!

Grinchy - really chuffed you've got the completed anniversary coin set, looks amazing and very collectible, all the better as it's something you've been after for a while.

Nice pick up with latest 6" - he does look a bit Parkerish from Thunderbirds

 

[grinchy]

Parker, thats who he looks like,
Cheers mate, i haven't recieved it yet, should be here soon, i'm really happy to have the set

 

[db94]

This arrived yesterday - bought for my daughter but when I see it I quite fancy one to keep boxed!

If she decides to open it I'll post up pictures so everyone can see how bad the bendy nose cone/cannons are

 

[grinchy]

looks great in the box mate, yeah i've seen a few of them with warped cannons, might be able to straighten them with hot water not sure though, great pickup anyway

Ginchy, do you realise that there are 80 silver coins plus 15 gold and 1 black coin in the set?

 

[grinchy]

Hey bud, yeah i figured there was room for more, it arrived on saturday, i have a few of the extras allready, but the main set of sixty is done thats what i'm most happy with,

 

[Carl Waterworth]

Nice one mate! good luck in getting the rest of them!
I managed to get them all and had a custom built frame for them. 8)

 

[grinchy]

Sounds cool, love to see it! cheers mate

 

[Carl Waterworth]

Here you go 8)

 

[grinchy]

That looks great mate, really classy display, thanks for sharing

 

[Carl Waterworth]

Cheers mate, good luck if you go for the complete set.

 

[steve obi wan]

Great display

Don't really do modern as such (my son is collecting POTF2 though), but saw these two and just had to have them. HUGE is not the word, but they look awesome next to my vintage collection

 

[chiffy]

I agree those massive beasts are just teh ticket especially when you put them next to the originals! Have you seen that new Darth Vader that's about 5 foot tall? It's in my local toyshop for around £150 if i remember rightly it's huge and makes all the noises. BTW i have a shed load of POTF2 MOCs to get rid of if you are interested for your son coming upto xmas and all

I was meaning to get in touch with you fella, are you still after one of these? Picked her up from a Tesco in Chepstow yesterday along with a Kylo Ren.

In regards to the POTF2 figures, could you send me some details as to what you got, would be appreciated fella.

Captain Phasma's - they are like buses!

Daughter came home today from her first foreign holiday (Euro Disney) and being the star that she is she took home a couple of items that she'd seen people were after.

Phasma for Chiffy and Hera for monkey-roo

Kieatky great that you picked one up, your one looks better as her one got a little crushed in her case and means we don't have the worry of sending it down South (did I mention I don't like couriers at the mo!) so this Phasma could be an opener for us


She got this little lot for herself - bloody love Logray

And a new R2 for my focus

 

[grinchy]

Thats a cool haul she has brought home mate, love the logray! hope she had fun on her hols

 

[chiffy]

Hi guys! Some fantastic pick ups there! That Logray is the dogs, my daughter would love that and if i show her she will be well jel, and i cannot believe, but maybe i should do as this community is effin great for stuff like this, that not only has someone got a spare phasma but a little girl out there has picked up 1 for me too! Gents i am flabergasted! Right then, I would be happy to take both or just take the 1 if Colin has no sweats in having a loosie. I will pm you with some POTF2 photos kieatky if you would like a trade, and also Colin whats your daughters main focus at the moment?
Speak to you soon fellas

 

[monkey_roo]

Just catching up with this thread, what a lovely sentiment, you much be very proud to have such an aware a thoughtful daughter. If the figure really is going spare drop me a PM, but really it is the thought that counts and it made me smile.

Just like chiffy said, love that Ewok as well.
