Bargain two-pack there, Palifan

This is number 7/9 in the large photo European release cards. Just need Rebel Commando and the ERG to complete the run. This guy went AWOL for a while but has shown up. Makes him all the more special!

Nice one - only 2 to go! Is this the one that was missing at your mates house? That must have been ages back

Yes mate. I think it was about 10 or 11 months ago. I've not seen another one for sale since and he was a £7 bargain so was hoping he was going to show up. Had he not then, meh, matters not. I value the efforts made to tranship stuff way, way, way more than any material item. I was just chuffed to bits when he showed up

Rebel Commando and ERG.....where are you????

Angry and happy today. Got my Walmart Rogue One three pack. Sad thing is the sender from the USA sent it in a bloody Jiffy bag and its crushed. All corners are damaged, not mint. Seller has got some nice feedback for that. Really ****ed off.. second time in a week this has happened.

That's **** mate - why do people do this! I always make sure things are protected. I'd rather go overboard on packaging than have people disappointed. There is zero excuse for sending boxed items or mocs in padded envelopes - are these people stupid!

Not a huge amount of SW here but thought you might want a quick look at my cart from work I have a few things on. It helps to keep my focused whilst working away believe it or not although it is becoming a bit of a headache to wheel around the studio :lol:

Picked up these SDCC Super7 exclusives the other day. It took me a moment to work out what the new colour versions were all about but I thought they were fun. They're from The Worst series and I have the Batula as Yoda on it's way to complete the set.

For me it's the Saga Collection one, just like the way the accessories are displayed in the packaging.

I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of this new packaging for The Last Jedi, it reminds me of the Clone Wars (cartoon), repackaging from years ago.

After getting involved with both TFA and Rogue One figures I think my time is coming to an end with picking up that many modern figures in the future. I'll still get Luke and Rey from this wave but I'll either wait for the sales or only getting the odd other one or two depending on what gets released. I think the same will go for the future films released as well, just one or two to have some representation from them.

I can see that the whole SW figures collecting will just carry on for the foreseeable future and it's time for me to back off from it. At least I know some of you guys on here will always support it so it will be great to still get to see what's out there and it's got nothing to do with the quality of the figures or anything like that as I feel for the most part that they look great, but it's time to say enough for me and try to break what has sort of become a habit, it's not like I'm even displaying the ones I've bought over the last couple of years lol!

I'm not going anywhere though and who knows if I'll be pulled back in when the Vintage Collection finally see's the light of day again.
