Latest Modern Acquisitions

[chiffy]

Picked this up this morning on my way to footy and it just emphasises how **** the modern range is nowadays. It was opened but complete and i'm thankful that i could actually see with my own eyes how **** this range is! It's about twice the size of a diecast! I've always presumed these ships were snap together to fit in the smaller boxes but no just the wings to clip on. Well worth a fiver tho' but i'm glad ive saved money over the years not buying this crap. The rogue 1 range looks abit better and a couple of those pick ups that Russ has bought look half decent. I saw that last weird ship in tk makks for £14 a few weeks ago and was tempted as they look pretty rare mate. I checked ebay out and theyre going for £25-£30 at the mo! Come's to something when the box looks better than the product inside

Nice slave 1 chiffy,i gave the newer mould a pass due to the size of it, some of the smaller sized ships they produce are just not worth the money, glad you got it at a good price
Picked up these two recently, hoping to get the full line of concept McQuarrie figures, should keep me busy theres thirteen I think all together, just won the vader on ebay, hoping to get them for good prices, the first two I managed at 6 quid and a fiver each and vader at 4.20

Good stuff Grinchy the concepts are decent to collect. Look lovely lined up all in a row actually. Mind you most waves do!

Finally bought one of these for a bargain price

 

[grinchy]

That's a great addition to the focus!
Just back from home and bargains, they have star wars figures in and the elusive admiral ackbar, I got three of them so if you want one its 2.99 plus postage, a great price!

 

[chiffy]

[grinchy]

Wow that's a great few pick ups there Grinchy :shock: 8) Ackbars for only £2.99 a pop that's a bargain 8) ...Unkarr Plutt,Tasu Leech as well nice one mate....

Last time I went into my local Home Bargains all they had were the Mashers series but saying that it was a few months ago

 

[grinchy]

Nice black series pickup there darth bobby,true he doesn't look happy
Cheers mate, I was amazed to see ackbar and the others on shelf, my wife said I was making strange noises and had a big grin on my mush :lol: glad I could help out a couple of the guys on here as its still pretty hard to get for a decent price
Another couple of pickups today, to go along with my mcqaurrie figure focus, the holiday edition series, looking for yoda next, this jawa one came with its original white shipping box which is cool, the black series han I got from asda, 8 quid, they had a few but i'd rather wait to get the latest Leia on clearance

 

[chiffy]

Love the holiday editions Grinchy so well donr mate. Ive got the yoda 1 and the r2 and 3po 1, think thats the only 3 isnt it?

 

[grinchy]

don 't forget this one mate, vader painted red, , cheesy but I like it, need one on a card

 

[Russ J]

I went to Home Bargains yesterday in Leeds town center (the Merrion Center) and saw a few TFA figures for £2.99.....some nice harder to find figures as well....Unkarr Plutt....Tasu Leech.....Fifth Brother Inquisitor.....Captain Rex...

No Admiral Ackbars though....

 

[grinchy]

I checked my local one again, they were sold out, which is about right for 3 quid
Got a few early Christmas present from a mate

 

[adampbooth]

Picked up these from the local Aldi last night.
Never seen them before but there were about 7-8 different figures available.
I've compared the trooper to my black series figure and it's lass than a centimetre smaller and not quite as good quality. But much bigger and more detailed than the 3.75 range.
Second pic added to show scale...

 

[chiffy]

Oh yeah Grinch ive got him but on a card so it doesnt count to me lol

 

[grinchy]

I'll get him on a card during the new year no doubt
Those mini figs are good adam, not as detailed as the six inch line but not bad for the money, they are scaled down versions of the twelve inch figures, I bought a bunch of them the last time they were offered, in this new wave they have added rey, jedi luke and han

 

[grinchy]

Got a few bits this year, but the wife surprised me with this jaks pacific 3 pack, a nice set of figures

 

[Russ J]

Picked up a few more ROTS figures over the last couple of weeks...

Got these 3 from Chiffy at a great price

A few more from Ebay...

Managed to pick up three Admiral Ackbar figures from Home Bargains at £2.99 each (same as what Grinchy did)...If anyone is needing one all i'm after is the £2.99 + postage cost....will be packed up bombproof 8) ....Pm me if you are interested

 

[grinchy]

Great pic ups mate, that R2 with the upside down sticker must be worth more nice gesture with the ackbars, sure you'll get some interest there

The benefits of using a laptop, I can turn it upside-down rather than turning myself upside-down! :lol:
Does look a great toy though 8)

Weird :?: I'm posting pics on my iPad, but have been doing for ages, seems they are appearing to others upside down, but my view is normal :?:

I quizzed Edd on this and he said the best approach is to edit any pictures you want to post before posting them by setting which way up is the right way. So on an iPad you have an option to rescale and rotate the pictures you take, rotate them and resize them, save the rotated pictures (even if they end up what looks the same way up as you started) and that has now worked every-time for me.

Thanks bud I'll try it out
