Thats a great little haul there smiler,did'nt realise there were two differant art designs for the TIE Striker...nice one 8)

Your right on the Rogue One 2 pack sets,i've only ever seen them in Toys R Us,the single figures they seem to be everywhere,but not the 2 pack figures...Smyths don't stock them,The Entertainer don't,Asda,Tesco etc...don't either...strange its not like they are TRU exclusives (as far as I know anyway)....

I've got a couple of new additions...

Naboo Royal Security...

Don't normally have the opportunity to post in here but received a wonderful Sideshow Collectible figure for my birthday today - perfect for my focus and couldn't be more pleased with him.

I am slowly getting more and more sucked in by these 6'figures.

When I started collecting last year I said to myself that it would just be the ones I really liked but it looks as if this is going to be another one :lol: .

Happy birthday mate :) And what an awesome gift! Of course, you now need one to rip out of the box. And an AT-AT. To scale..... ;)

The back-drop to this photo is hardly a new acquisition. It came with a mixed lot of sundry from Vectis about a year ago, but only just rediscovered it and put it together. Whether folks love or hate the toy line from mid to late 90s I'm finding they're giving me a bigger and bigger nostalgia kick. I remember eating crisps like a demon (wasn't hard, I was a student and crisps, a pint and a packet of pork scratchings was considered a 3 course meal) to try and collect them all. Love this 3d backdrop. If only I had the rest of the stand to go with it! Excuse the washed out colours. It's bright and strong in real life. What also isn't apparent from the photo is that the text is in the background whilst the images stand proud in the foreground.

The items in the foreground are defo new acquisitions. the TT and Luke arrived from the US a week or so ago and the Wampa from Andy week before last. I missed out on a coloured first shot on FB this week for an incredibly generous $250. C'est la vie. I seem to have stumbled on a new sub-theme in my modern sub-theme: Hoth pre-prod.

Brilliant pick ups scruffy, I remember getting through loads of crisps looking for the discs, took forever which is of course why they did it, lol
Nice hoth preproduction stuff, I like seeing different stages in the production of these figures, very cool

Got a couple of nice pickups today, the poe dameron set is reduced at argos to £8.99, box isn't perfect and this was the best of 3 they sent up, it'll do for me, the bagged bossk figures and coin on the easel are from lejackal

New figure today picked up at tesco. I didn't realise there were already two different versions of jyn erso
I like the figures but not a fan of the oversized accessories.

Hey smiler, welcome to the boards! I wasn't aware that there were already two versions of jyn out, must be the second wave of figures.

Great scores mike, that proto fett is a beauty, the kylo is cool to, are you getting the rey figure with snowy base that goes with that one?

Cheers Grinchy!

I have collected vintage star wars figures on and off over the years, collected, sold, collected, sold, now collecting to keep and to get as complete of a vintage collection as I can afford now I can afford to buy all the ones my parents couldn't.
I love these new figures for the new films because of how they are like the vintage figures. Multiple points of articulation is great but I am kind of a retro guy.
I collect a few lines of vintage figures including the black hole and buck rogers which have great articulation! I have an almost complete collection of modern tron figures aswell as vintage.
They all bring me happy memories!

On the rogue one front. I have the 2 figure packs in Debenham today. Was very tempted as they have the imperial figures in them but at 18 quid a pack I just thought they were too expensive. But if anyone wants to know who stocks them, head down to Debenham!
Tesco now have a buy 3 for the price of two on their entire star wars range.
 
New recruits for the collection today from tesco. I believe the box set is an khols exclusive in the USA. It was £22.46. The force awakens figures are going for £5.56 and the rogue one figures are still at £6.75.

Loving that four figure set ---I think it is a target exclusive in the USA - is it out in the UK now too ?

Kohls exclusive I think. It's in tescos in UK.
 
Popped in to TRU earlier to get some Xmas prezzies for our niece.... Ended up walking out with the 6" Scale TIE Fighter as well..

For the size, and price I couldn't pass it by.

This is a big beast of a toy,I don't collect the 6" black series stuff but I've been very tempted by this myself and at the price TRU have got it for atm it's a steal 8)
 
I don't collect modern at all (a few Han Solo items aside) and it's on my Christmas List at that price!
 
picked up a few bits today, Tesco had the 6 inch reduced to 7.47 so got the last two figures, and the entertainer stores had the Sidon ithano two pack for 8.50, pricey for rogue one figures though at 9 quid a pop!
home and bargain stores had a few different star wars pop vinyl at £3.99, but I don't collect those

Well done all. Even though I don't collect any of the new stuff I always pop into the toy isle just for a looky loo
Scored this off ebay recently. In the end it went cheaper than most have recently and was even better with a 10% off promo they had going

Excuse the cheesy grin, dress down at work today, so I wore this latest modern acquisition (from H&M)

ROTS%20PIC%2014_zpsoyw8yozy.jpg


I were chuffed to pick up this ROTS figure for a pretty decent price (£18 posted) which is a bargain imo as they usually sell for around £25+postage

Anakin Battle Damage..
ROTS%20PIC%2015_zpsmhbacn7c.jpg


A few more TPM figures...

Flashback Figure Anakin...I only need one more in the Flashback line (there are 11 in total) and thats C3-PO...So if anyone has a good example they want to let go or have a lead to no who may have one to sell then get intouch...

A couple of Rogue One ships..

The U-Wing which I picked up at TRU for £37.95 (got them to price match Tesco :D )

RO%20PIC%2011_zpsngm6q4ag.jpg


Also picked this up from Asda on Friday just gone...I'd never seen it before and tbh never heard of it,i'd gone into Asda just before work to pick up a few bits for my pack up and as usual took a quick look down the toy isle expecting to see the usual Rogue One toys,but I came across this for £20

Hera Syndulla's A-Wing

RO%20PIC%2012_zpssyvjywoi.jpg


I do have a couple more ROTS figures that i've got from an old mate of mine but not seen his as of yet to collect them from him....
