Latest Modern Acquisitions

[grinchy]

It is a cool set, did they do more like this one? i have this set and love the way it displays, be nice to have more of them, i've seen a few but they are on blister cards not boxed like this one, nice pickup mate

 

[monkey_roo]

Hey grinch, Hasbro made one other comic two pack like that, it was a SDCC 2010 exclusive, Darth Maul & Owen Lars, the Cmmie and Fixer was. Celibration V exclusive from the same year.

The 61 (might be 62, can't remembe) other comic 2 packs were all blister packed with the main line backed up with exclusives from Walmart, Entertainment Earth and direct one line (the old Starwars.com shop).


For me they were one of the best modern sublimes ever made and disputed a few repackaged along the way we got great figures from all sources, including some based on the original Marvel comic incarnations and some vey random ones. It was one of the complete lines I didn't sell when I off loaded my modern collection, absolutely love seeing images of the comic packs when they pop up. Lovely stuff.

 

[grinchy]

Thanks for the info, have to see about picking that up sometime, they are nice sets

 

[naughtyjedi]

I got it from http://www.staractionfigures.co.uk/653539500520.html

I hark this... its a great imaginative line. I had a lot in a joblot and sold them all. I was tempted to keep one or two, and it was hard to sell on Darth Talon, and the Sharad Hett tusken disguise figure (Ki Adi Mundi put me off). It would be an understandable line to continue with now there are a shed load of comics. I am awaiting the Jaxxon and Amaiza 2 pack. Surprised they havent done it. That would be epic.

Tesco have the latest wave of 6" TFA figures

 

[grinchy]

Thats a great haul mate, you got all the heavy hitters in that lot!
I just got this set in, more coins for the collection, not sure how these fit into the larger set but they look nice in the display box

 

[db94]

Didn't buy those figures, just grabbed a picture while I was in Tesco, shouldn't really have posted it in latest acquisitions

Coins looks beautiful mate, and you're right about them looking good on display, that's a fair few coins you've got now pal.

 

[grinchy]

cheers mate,yeah I do have a lot of coins now! I thought you'd bought the lot and had them on your display stand at home, I need nearly all of those.
In the hospital at the moment, going stir crazy, least I can still access the boards
Cheers mate

 

[Gorneesh]

[Dark Sith Lord]

[lejackal]

Those 6" look to be a bloody bargain, particularly as the only 6" I've seen are the Black series, not sure even the magic of Aldi would be able to put them out at £6.99 each though. Maybe a cheaper version just for Aldi? Still a good price though.

 

[grinchy]

I don't think they are black series figures, but i don't know as it doesn't say, they do look good for the money i agree

 

[grinchy]

Picked this up today, from disney store, i couldn't resist, another line to collect, really nice pieces, they have a great selection, and come with a stand a plus compared with the black series line,

 

[naughtyjedi]

finally.. I got a MOC minnie/slave leia.. bloody hard to find and very few come available.. Ive got a loosie.. I believe there was a version with the wording saying slave on it, but that got pulled.. must be some out there and I guess that variant becomes a possible 'grail' piece. but this will do nicely

 

[Collins1987]

That's a nice piece, I'm off to America next November so hoping to pick up a few of this series from Disney world. How much does this series currently go for outside of Disney. Would love to start collecting them.

 

[monkey_roo]

^ I will chime in on this one as I can't resist, the Disney crossover line is great and one of the best, if a little quirky things to come out of the modern lines.

The line itself has been going years. I began with a Mickey as Indiana Jones and then picked up in SW with a one wave detour into Pirates of the Carabbiean.

The after market price can we wildly varied, if you get the limited figures they can cost a lot as each figure was very limited, the exclusive Stich as Palpatine to commemorate ESB only had 1980 made, likewise the Donald shadow trooper and Jedi Mikey with Ewok figures and I think a Mickey and Donald two pack were limited and convention exclusives.

Then there are a tow large box sets with five or six figures in each and one cool Jedi star fighter as well. There are also four box sets with two figures a piece in there, one of which is Jedi Mickey with Yoda, which is brilliant.

The figures are:

Bad Pete as Boba Fett
Chip and Dale as Ewoks
Daisy Duck as Aurra Sing
Donald Duck as Commander Cody
Donald Duck as Darth Maul
Donald Duck as Han Solo
Donald Duck as Han Solo in carbonite
Donald Duck as Stormtrooper
Donald Duck as Shadow stormtrooper
Goofy as C-3PO
Goofy as Chewbacca
Goofy as Jar Jar Binks
Goofy as Cad Bane
Goofy as Darth Vader
Huey, Duey and Louie as Jawas
Mickey Mouse as Jedi Knight
Mickey Mouse as Anakin Skywalker
Mickey Mouse as Luke Skywalker
Mickey Mouse as Luke Skywalker (Pilot)
Minnie Mouse as Padmé Amidala
Minnie Mouse as Leia Organa
Minnie Mouse as Leia Organa (Jabba's Slave)
Minnie Mouse as Leia Organa (Boushhdisguise)
Stitch as General Grievous
Stitch as Emperor Palpatine
Stitch as Yoda

It should also be said that there was a wave that updated several figures so I think there are two variants of Donald as Darth Maul for example.

They are great fun, but be ware, if you go down this rabbit hole it will cost a bit and drive you nuts as some of the, are very hard to find, but so worth it. I haven't been to a Disney park for a few years, but they always had some of these in stock, mostly the more recent waves, but I say crack on and go for it, with the new films we might get more of these now as they have been a bit lean in recent years.

I really should dig mine out for a decent photo one day.

 

[monkey_roo]

OK, so here is the photographic follow up to my comments on the Disney Crossover line, it seems I forgot a few, and while not a variations sort of person I do have the European and US versions of a couple of the two packs (The background image or the cross-sell adverts on the back are different)

Enjoy:

 

[monkey_roo]

Close ups.
I believe this is a full set and includes the non SW lines. Quite few more exclusives than i remember. Enjoy

 

[Collins1987]

That is quite a collection you have mate. Definitely look great. Seems it is cheaper in some cases to ship from American than to buy in this country. Definitely gonna have to start collecting this series.

Thanks for taking the time to show me all that and explain it all for me

 

[chiffy]

Hey guys, never 1 to miss out on a sales op! Ive got a few to start you off Collins if youre interested? PM me and ill sort you photos and prices out. PS Roo lad what a fantastic collection mate!

 

[naughtyjedi]

monkeyroo - wow.. just wow

is there a slave leia with slave on it... ???

 

[monkey_roo]

Hey naughtyjedi, I am not saying there isn't a slave Leia figure, but it is quite unlikely. If there is it would have been an error on the prod utility line and recalled quickly as the word slave is not one Disney would want to have anywhere.

Personally I think that could be one of those urban myths, but Happy to be proved wrong, certainly I have never seen one and my figure was factory fresh from the week they were released so would have been one of the early batches, you never know though...

On a similar note you might have seen that Disney have announced that never again will a Leia toy be produced in the slave outfit, so expect a Disney special, special edition of ROTJ soon where Jabba dresses Leia in a onesy

 

[grinchy]

cool disney collection, they look spot on, and so many of them!
Well i've had a few bad weeks lately healthwise, come home from hospital today, and the wife had gotten me some early christmas prezzies
these are the 6.99 aldi six inch figures, smaller than the black series and i think 5 POA, but look good on display, got an extra kylo ren figure if anyone wants it at cost plus postage, my local aldi only had one full set and a couple of extra figures so if you want a set be quick

Also the new empire mag has a sainsburys exclusive issue which comes with a kylo ren figure, 11.99, and a limited edition

 

[Collins1987]

Here my latest purchases, with more on the way, may have gone over board this month :?

not sure why I bought a graded jorg Sacul figure seems a bit of a pointless grading. May have to remove him from that case. Do they open or is it a sealed box never had one before?

 

[MarkG]

Picked up the festive R2 the other day to complete the current set.

 

[grinchy]

Great pickups guys, love the R2 figures, the christmassy one is especially cool
As for the jorg sacul, its going to be hard to bust out of there the cases are sealed pretty well if your not carefull you could damage it, it is a rarer figure maybe keep it as is?
Lots of other cool goodies in your haul to, very nice

They look really good mate, especially for the money. Maybe someone should explain to Hasbro/Disney they'd likely make more money if everything was such good value.
