Yeah these are great for the money, don't know if they will make any more in this scale, but i'd be interested
the empire mag is going for daft money on ebay, a couple have sold for over a hundred quid!!!, the average price now is 40 which is still a lot, i'm glad i managed to get one at retail price.

Some nice pick ups as ever Grinchy :D

One thing I was wondering with the Empire mag - is the Kylo attached to the front cover somehow or is there a hole cut out of the front cover with the regular Kylo card back showing through?

Ian
 
cheers mate
Yeah there was a hole in the packaging showing the bubble, I assume its just a normal carded ren, along with the magazine in the packet
 
Grinchy mate - glad your home and on the mend, some cracking presents from your wife. Those figures look really good, you going to keep them boxed? Nice pick up with the magazine as well - as you say they are going for crazy money on ebay so you did well getting one at its cover price.

Feet up buddy and enjoy the build up to TFA :D
 
Cheers mate, yeah i got spoilt! glad to be home, and looking forward to the movie, can't wait
I'll be keeping the figures boxed, might get another set to open, see what happens, definately a nice little cheap set, and the magazine looks cool on display, i went out and bought the basic version of the empire magazine with a lenticular cover, a good read and not to spoilery either, some great pictures in it
 
Hope you feeling ok grinchy mate and hope its nothing too serious.
just picked kylo empire mag up from our local sainsburys :D they had loads but had to look through them all as a fair few of them had squashed bubbles.
 
cheers mate, its just my ticker, lol, just got to take things easy for a bit
Glad you got one at retail price, i went back to pick one up for a mate and they were sold out, so they are not hanging around on shelves
 
Well well well some corkers here lads! That Empire mag is mint and those disney astros are the bomb well done gents!
 
I know one of these has just been posted but hey, why not jump on the bandwagon, I did it, I caved in and bought my first TFA merchandise today!



 
After my haul of Disney R2s, and a bit of research.. I found there was another produced... although not R2..

Say hello to R4 :D

I didn't open the second one :wink:

Can't believe people have paid over a ton for these, just go shopping!

Do you mind if the bubble is crushed? If not I'll see if any are left in my local Sainsburys tomorrow for you at cost plus postage?

Don't mind if it's very minor- very kind of you mate!

I'll have a look this afternoon mate, they had 3 left earlier in the week so fingers crossed
 
O.o the elite series :) have to admit I really like them.

Not a huge fan of the screws in the back but they do look amazing in the box.

Grievous is a great addition, not the best build quality but the attention to detail is great!

They are a great line of figures, I only have 2 the rey and bb8 and now fett, I've not seen the grievous in store they sold out near me, looks great in the box but he doesn't want to stand up to well out the box I've seen a couple of reviews online that show this, but for in the box display its cool
 
Yeah I also read the reviews so I decided to keep him boxed.

Darth is a great pick up if you can find him but the stormy is not the best.

Three new Elite Series came out today,
Poe another Rey and Ren..Tbh Poe is the only one worth picking up, the others seem like a waste of time...
The only difference between the Rey they released today over the one that came out last year is a bent blue lightsaber and the Ren figure is the same as before but just unmasked.
Bit of a waste of time really and very disappointing...was hoping for R2 and 3po.
 
Picked these up today:

I now have a complete set of OT Infinity 3.0 figures....might start on TFA ones now and then maybe the Rebels ones....will only pick up the Prequel ones if they are cheap

20151218_2229112_zpsyzh4sgnh.jpg


The top 2 were released today along with an unmasked Kylo Ren (doesn't look that great tbh).

You can never have too many Fetts (I have 3 now) and still want to get Grevious but not Akakin or Maul
 
Nice grabs :)

I did order Poe, but holding fire on the other two.
Grevious might become a hard find, as it is no longer listed on the site, maybe the poor build quality on one leg and negative reviews made them pull it? But even with a few minor faults it is a good pick up so if you find it cheap grab it :) kinda wish I had picked up two of them.
 
Picked this TIE Pilot up yesterday from The entertainer.
It's my first Black Series figure.
Box is a bit knocked about. They also have Yoda, Ben Kenobi and Clone Trooper General.

Nice pickups guys, and that tie pilot is a great starter figure, i have quite a few of the black series figures, they are really nice, i haven't picked up the yoda as he seemed a bit pricey for a figure half the size of the others, i suppose i'm just a bit tight, lol.
I'm planning on getting more of the diecasts figures as they seem better value for money compared to the black series, i'll still pick the black series up but not as many
 
Merry Chsristmas all.
Got a bit ahead of myself and posted this in the vintage section, so put it here instead.

Father Christmas brought me a Force Awakens calendar, Captain Phasma mug, and Bandai's 1/12 droids.
